1993 International Year of Indigenous Peoples
Themes of the conference will be:
* Spirituality and Tradition
* Self-Determination, Legislation, and Indigenous Rights.
* Land Rights, Development, and the Environment
* Women, Family, and Community
* Education, Culture, and Youth
* Organization and Coordination
In this International Year of Indigenous People, we will gather to
promote indigenous unity on a continental level, upon the basis of
our own spiritually, wisdom, traditional organization and political
philosophy; to create systems of communication and coordination on
a continental level; and to propose viable alternatives and
solutions, based upon self-determination which address the issues
facing our people.
