Continental Commission Abya Yala calls for the State of Arizona to end the "Columbus Day" racist policy of state sanctioned persecution, discrimination colonization and genocide celebrated as a paid state holiday.

WE DEMAND that the Preliminary Study on the Impact of the Doctrine of Discovery, submitted to the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (2010) be integrated into the Social Studies Curriculum standards immediately for implementation nationally across the spectrum of public educational services delivered at all levels with no exceptions.

COLUMBUS NOT A DAY

Columbus is not a day. It is a shadow that must be lifted. It is a reality that must be shifted, by the power of the people of the land, wind and waters. It is the fire that I require. The fire of the sun of justice.

TIME is NOW

Architectures of the States and the

Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth

As Peoples of Mother Earth, we collectively determine to regenerate our relationships among ourselves within a Cultural Climate of Mutual Respect, Inclusion, Complementarity, and Self Determination beyond the existing constrains of the international systems of state sovereignty and in responsibility to the well being of the future generations;

Recognizing that unless this fundamental dimension of international relationships among human societies at the planetary level is first recognized, established and affirmed, there will be no sustainable progress in addressing effectively and in timely manner the Climate Chaos scenario that now befalls all of Humanity due to the impacts on Global Climate exacerbated greenhouse gas emissions by industrial society and extractive industries in particular in complicity with national government states and existing international monetary systems and institutions.

Therefore we proclaim and hereby reaffirm in collective Responsibility as Peoples of Mother Earth, in Equality with all Peoples, our collective Right of Representation and Self Determination in addressing the issues before the COP20 beyond the constraints of the architecture of the States and their agreements;

We further affirm and proclaim in Full, Effective, and Complete exercise of our equally shared Right of Self Determination as Peoples of Mother Earth, that our Sacred Mother Earth is subject of the Right of Self Determination beyond the limited juridical constraints of the Westphalian System of State Sovereignty represented in UN system and the international architectures of personality and procedures of negotiation and agreements;
