In over seventy articles and country reports, The Indigenous World 2013 provides a comprehensive update on the current situation of indigenous peoples and their human rights, and reports on the most important developments in international processes of relevance to indigenous peoples during 2012.

The yearbook, produced by the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs in collaboration with indigenous and non indigenous scholars and activists, is an essential source of information and an indispensable tool for those who need to be informed about the most recent issues and developments that have affected indigenous peoples worldwide.
