LETTER OF SOLIDARITY
Sisters and
Brothers of the First Nations of Abya Yala and the World: the attainment and
exercise of our rights, and upholding all our collective existence has been,
and is, to the present time product of our own struggles, the suffering of our
peoples, under the blood and sacrifice of thousands of lives of our people.
This history is not over, the force of
our resistance persists and we continue to fight to establish a culture
of life in the world, until we restore ethical and moral relations between
human beings, our communities and with our Mother Nature.
This is the cause that deternines the struggles of our peoples, as our sisters and brothers in Canada, the Indigenous Movement IDLE NO MORE, and that has been given impulse by the Chief Theresa Spence, a struggle that is expressed with a hunger strike near the Capitol Hill in Ottawa, befginning on December 11, 2012. We extend our forces and energies to those struggles that bind us to this cause as have done the sisters and brothers from TONATIERRA in Phoenix Arizona, who are in permanent mobilization.
In this context, our struggles continue, in the South, Central and North Abya Yala, as we navigate through moments of genuine dispute of thought, and cognition: the war between two paradigms: the predator model of the Western Intellect and the indigenous model of Abya Yala community life.
Our solidarity
with these struggles is our legacy, struggles of our Indigenous Peoples which
are not only legitimate but just.
May the energies and spirits of our ancestors guide us always.

CARTA DE SOLIDARIDAD
Hermanas y
Hermanos de las Naciones Originarias de Abya Yala y del Mundo: la consecución y
el ejercicio de nuestros derechos, y la defensa de todas las existencias ha
sido, y es, hasta los momentos actuales producto de nuestras propias luchas,
sobre el sufrimiento de nuestros pueblos, bajo la sangre y sacrificio de miles
de vidas humanas de nuestra gente.
Esta historia aún no termina, la fuerza de la resistencia aún persiste y
lucharemos hasta instaurar la cultura de la vida en el mundo, hasta cuando
restauremos las relaciones éticas y morales entre los seres humanos, y la
comunidad con nuestra Madre
Naturaleza.
Son estas causas las que animan las luchas de nuestros Pueblos, como las hermanas y hermanos en Canadá, el Movimiento Indígena IDLE NO MORE, y que ha sido impulsada por la Jefa Theresa Spence, lucha que se expresa con una huelga de hambre, cerca del Capitolio en Otawa, desde el 11 de Diciembre del 2012. Extendemos nuestras fuerzas y energías a otras luchas que se unen a esta causa como las hermanas y hermanos de TONATIERRA en Phoenix Arizona, que se encuentran en movilización permanente.
Es el momento de
demostrar al mundo nuestra férrea unidad Continental y mundial, para que
nuestras propuestas de la reconstrucción de la vida sea una realidad. El siglo
XXI se expresa como el momento más atroz y violento de la presencia colonial y
la recomposición del modelo de explotación en contra de toda la existencia y la
vida.
Bajo este contexto, nuestras luchas continúan, en el Sur, Centro y Norte de Abya Yala, pues atravesamos momentos de una verdadera disputa de pensamiento, la guerra de dos paradigmas: el modelo depredador de Occidente y el modelo de vida comunitaria de Abya Yala.
Nuestra
solidaridad con todas estas luchas, las luchas de nuestras Pueblos que son, no
solo justas sino legítimas que la historia nos ha legado. Que las energías y
los espíritus de nuestros antepasados nos guie siempre.
Comunidad:

Hi, My name is Solange Garson, a Councillor from Split Lake Manitoba (aka Tataskweyak Cree Nation); I am also planning on sitting with this elder from Cross Lake Manitoba if AMC or MKO or any of these native organizations would not help our community to find out exactly where hundreds of millions of dollars disappeared that was supposedly to better our "reservation" which of course we know its not likely to happen; these hydro dams "WILL NOT" benefit our community and never will be; but we have First NationsLeaders just giving our land by simply signing our land away with no remorse; only their pockets; sad to say it happens and reason I'm against this whole hydro negotiations: we accumulated so much deficit we will never be able to pay the portion of being a Partner with hydro; highly unlikely this would happen and these deals are designed for USA; not for us. I want to know where all that money went and I'm told to sign Agreements to silence me. I need help and help is not there from AMC or any native organization; reason to this they are afraid to speak, if they do; they will lose their funds. I will not allow this to happen to our community and I will fight this....
