The First International Indigenous Summit

The First International Indigenous Summit - CONIC has begun on March 21, 2000 with the initiation of the Peace and Dignity Journeys in Tierra del Fuego.

On May 1, the northern tributary of the continental Indigenous Peoples spiritual run departed from Alaska in the North, on their way to rejoin with the Southern tributary from Tierra del Fuego at TEOTIHUCUACAN, MEXICO.  

The Sacred Staffs, which represent the memory and dreams of the native nations of the Eagle in the North and the Condor in the South, will be present at the CONIC Summit.

The Sacred Staffs of the Eagle and the Condor represent the organizing principles of Indigenous Unity at a continental level.  They are ancient, as ancient as the stars.  As such the Sacred Staffs shall serve as guides and witness to the struggles of our Nations for Peace with Dignity.

In TEOTIHUCUAN, MEXICO on OCTOBER 25-30, 2000 the process of uniting in council at the continental level will give voice again to the words of the struggle for liberation, the rights and obligations that direct our spiritual ceremonies and traditions, and on the Doctrine of Denial by the United Nations and the Organization of American States (OAS) in not implementing the UN Declarations on self-determination and decolonization of the indigenous nation territories of this continent as was recognized for the continent of Africa after World War II.
