https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zwtURZ81gOOByHagH6VU6-ZocRfCmhYP8Wn-Ez8WTRc/edit?usp=sharing

Reaffirmed by Indigenous Leaders and Allies from across the Americas and around Mother Earth, Enlightening Our Way Together, December 11-22, 2020.

The time has come for the re-establishment of Indigenous to Indigenous Trade Routes across the Americas and beyond. All m Human Family Members are welcome to participate and support this Indigenous to Indigenous Union of the Condor, Quetzal, and Eagle Trade and Economic Initiative, within Union Protocols and Principles and the International Treaty to Protect and Restore Mother Earth.

For instance, when Quinoa, a Sacred Food domesticated by Indigenous peoples of the Condor, was recently discovered by the Western World to be profitable, small Indigenous farmers were driven out of the market by Multinational Corporations with money.

This economic injustice will stop with the rising of the Condor, Quetzal, and Eagle Union rising, as prophesized. Our sacred foods and medicines will no longer be exploited and abused!

We have now begun discussions with our relatives of the Condor and Quetzal, to ensure that prayerfully raised, Indigenous Quinoa will be traded between Indigenous peoples will be a better choice for respected consumers than buying from Corporations that have usurped this Sacred Food from its rightful owners and producers!
