Indigenous Peoples Peace Initiative
Year 4 Reed, Day Two Crocodile
Wednesday, March 12, 2003
Izkalotlan, Aztlan -- Emerging from a three day traditional
gathering of Indigenous Nations and Pueblos, a legation of
Indigenous Peoples initiated today a global Indigenous Peoples
Peace Initiative intended to restore the principles of
"yectlamatcayetoliztli" (PEACE) as a mandate of humanity from the
future generations. The proclamation was made from the NAHUACALLI,
Embassy of the Indigenous Peoples located in Phoenix, Arizona.
"We must disarm the global regime of nationalism of the state. The
psychologies of hatred and competition under which the government
states of the world would have us sacrifice our humanity and our
children to senseless wars will no longer be tolerated. As
Indigenous Peoples of the world, we further challenge the
government states of the United Nations system to criminalize the
destructive impact of warfare upon the ecosystems of the Earth
itself, by defining appropriate international legal protocols
regarding the conduct of warfare such as the Geneva Convention."
Said Tupac Enrique Acosta, member of the Xicano Nahuatl Nation.
To implement the Indigenous Peoples Peace Initiative,
representatives of the diverse and distinct Indigenous Nations
attending the launch of the global campaign, moved out from the
Nahaucalli embassy in the Four Directions, with assignments to
convoke the traditional spiritual leadership from around the world
to engage in the restoration process of Peace and Dignity. The
first objective of the Indigenous Peoples Peace Initiative is to
make known to the conscience of all humanity that the calls to war
by the government states will not apply to the Indigenous Peoples
globally, and will not be answered. Instead, the Indigenous
Nations of the continent Itzachilatlan, (the Americas) propose
that the indigenous nation confederations from around the world
rise to reclaim the destiny of the future generations, by invoking
spiritual and moral authority as the protectors of the Mother
Earth. The Indigenous Peoples of this hemisphere have maintained
such a spiritual, cultural, and political confederacy since time
immemorial. This confederacy is known as the Confederation of the
Eagle and the Condor.
In terms of communications, the IPPI has implemented a hyperspace
linkup, and will be delivering a message to the United Nations
representatives of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues under
the Economic and Social Council on May 15 in New York. The
Nahaucalli in Phoenix, Arizona will serve as clearing house for
the first phase of the Indigenous Peoples Peace Initiative.
Referring to the Xiuhpohualli, the count of years of Izkalotlan,
Aztlan which correlates to other counts of calendar systems among
the Maya and Nahua Nations, the legation travels now to fulfill an
ancestral mandate called the prophecy of the Sixth Sun given on
August the 13, 1521 in Mexico. "It is the dawn of the Sun of
Justice. The first rays of light from the East have been seen,
they have been felt," said one youth who has made a lifelong
commitment to the goals of the initiative. "Now is the time to go
forward in a sacred manner. A new world is about to be born."
