This question monitors the immediate registration of indigenous children after their birth. Article 6 of UNDRIP stipulates that every indigenous individual has the right to a nationality, reflecting core human rights conventions.
Our indicator is aligned with SDG indicator 16.9.1, on the proportion of children under 5 whose births have been registered by the authorities.
Data sources: If data on this is not available from national statistical offices, it can be sought from NHRIs, credible international organizations with engagement in your country, NGOs, etc. At the global level, data on this SDG indicator (16.9.1) is compiled by UNICEF.
If data is available, please record the proportion of indigenous children who have had their births registered with a civil authority in the first answer box. If data is not available, record ‘0’ (zero) in the ‘No data’ answer-box. Use the comment box to provide additional information, as relevant.

Please indicate if any public office makes a record when children are born in your community/people? Do parents of newborns receive a birth certificate or other official identity document?

This question monitors recognized nationality and citizenship of all indigenous individuals. Article 33(1) of UNDRIP reaffirms the right of indigenous individuals to obtain citizenship of the states in which they live, reflecting provisions in core human rights conventions.
Citizenship in a nation-state vests a person with the inalienable right of residence in that state (as well as the full range of political and economic rights). Non-citizens do not have the same rights. They are subject to the state’s immigration law, which defines, among others, who can enter the country, take up residence and employment, for how long, and where.
Data sources: If data on this is not available from national statistical offices, it can be sought from NHRIs, credible international organizations with engagement in your country, NGOs, etc..
If data is available, please record the proportion of indigenous men having recognized citizenship in the first answer box; the proportion of indigenous women having recognized citizenship in the second answer-box – or write ‘0’ (zero) in the ‘No data’-box, if data is not available. Use the comment box to provide additional information, as relevant.

The question refers to official identity documents, provided by the state. Please indicate how many women and men in your community have identity cards, birth certificates, or other official documentation from the authorities confirming their registration as citizens of the country they were born in?

This question too monitors the participation of indigenous peoples' representative institutions in decisions that may affect them.
States can ensure indigenous peoples' participation in decision-making in various ways. Some States have introduced a quota system to guarantee the participation of a certain number of indigenous representatives in the national legislative assemblies. To the same end, some States have redefined or created special electoral districts to facilitate the participation of indigenous peoples in elected bodies. In some cases, electoral laws and related regulations have been reviewed with a view to providing indigenous peoples with direct participation in public elections as indigenous representatives, rather than members and representatives of political parties. For examples, see Rights in Practice.
Data source: Election law, specific laws on indigenous peoples’ rights
If there are provisions for direct participation of indigenous peoples’ representatives in State legislative and appointed bodies, please mark ‘Yes’ – and provide additional information and references in the comment box. If there are no such provisions, please mark ‘No’.

This question monitors whether indigenous peoples enjoy the right to participate fully in the political life of the State.
The indicator is aligned with SDG Indicator 5.5.1 on proportion of seats in national and local representative bodies held by women (the Indigenous Navigator measures seats held by indigenous men and women).
Data may be available from the National Statistical Office, if data is generally disaggregated by ethnic groups / indigenous identifiers.
If data is available, please use the first answer-box to record the proportion of seats held by indigenous men, and the second answer-box to record the proportion of seats held by indigenous women. Use the comment box to provide additional comments, as relevant.

Please indicate, within the given categories, how many people have the possibility to vote, in the sense that the state has recognized their voter-right, and provided them the necessary voter ID etc. to exercise this right. In the box below, you can add additional information, if relevant. If there are any specific factors that hinder people in choosing for themselves whether to cast their votes, you can mention them here (practical limitations, forced voting, etc.).

Indicate here if your community/people have either men or women representing them in the national parliament and/or elected local government bodies.
