Excerpt from Preamble~International Treaty to Protect and Restore Mother Earth ~Mother Earth Day, April 22, 2016, New York City
The spiritual foundation of the Indigenous world-view is the ancient understanding of the fundamental oneness and unity of all life. Therefore, all members of the Human Family are a part of the Sacred Circle of Life. Since all members of the Human Family are a part of the Sacred Circle of Life, we are all Indigenous Peoples of our Mother Earth. Therefore, every Human Being is responsible for the well-being of one another and all living things upon our Mother Earth.
Whether or not the nation-states, multinational corporations or international development agencies that surround us are willing or able to participate with us at this time, our rapidly awakening Indigenous Peoples are moving dynamically forward in rebuilding and reunifying the Americas and beyond!Our actions and vision, guided by the Natural Laws and Guiding Principles, inherent in our Indigenous Worldview and Legal Order, are based on an eternal, spiritually enduring foundation.
Affirmed and Signed by Indigenous Leaders from the Americas and Indonesia
