In 1977 the UN General Assembly designated November 29 as a day for Annual Observance for the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. The time has come where the world needs to recognize this day for what it is — A day in solidarity with indigenous peoples and indigenous rights and most importantly recognizing the indigeneity of the Palestinian struggle.

The importance of remembering the Palestinian Nakba is not only about historical narrative; but most importantly it is about realizing and understanding the indigeneity of the Palestinian struggle.

Palestinian Prisoner Day should be understood as a day of global solidarity for all indigenous peoples’ freedom and self-determination because indigenous peoples are the primary target of the prison industrial complex within settler societies.
