A Cultural Embassy of Indigenous People

Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth

Good greetings relatives,

It has happened once before. It needs to happen again, and now.

When the first representatives of Christendom first arrived in the continent of the Great Turtle Island Abya Yala, they brought a cultural schema of imperialism and materialism that was driven by a patriarchal hierarchy led by the Vatican. Fundamental to this schema of hierarchy was a calendar system based on the that of the Roman Empire, modified by Pope Gregory XIII in October 1582. For this reason, the common calendar of our times is known as the Gregorian Calendar. Although the modifications made to the calendar were intended to correct inaccuracies in the “official” dating of the equinoxes and solstices which did not correspond to observed reality, the calendar remained an extrapolation of the geocentric theory of the Western World of Christendom.

Inspired by the cultural principles and practices of the Original Calendars of the Indigenous Peoples of the Great Turtle Island Abya Yala, the time has once again come to push beyond the envelope of the agenda of world view derived from a reductionist space-time paradigm that holds human consciousness captive in world view that does not correspond to cosmetric reality.

The Time is NOW: Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth.

The commodification of nature begins with the commodification of Mother Earth. Listening to the speculative market forecasts today out of Wall Street, one hears ancient echoes of the Legend of Marduk, who as a 5,000 year old cultural hero of Mesopotamia achieved his status by killing his mother at birth and creating his civilization from her body. Markets systems that allow for the externalization of costs to the environment and future generations are not going to significantly allow human society as a whole to move towards equilibrium and achieve homeostasis with the natural world of which we are a part. Costs that are only quantified in the financial systems of capital, are not realistic since there is no means to relate to the Earth as Mother, but only property to be warred over, or bought and sold in a society where time is money.
