CALL FOR A GATHERING OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF THE AMERICAS
Due to 515 years after the first invasion of our ancestral territories, the
war of conquest, the plunder and exploitation; a call was made to gather all
indigenous communities, tribes, and nations of the Americas. The gathering
will take place on the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th days of October, 2007 in
the community of Vícam, Yaqui Territory , Municipality of Guaymas , State of
Sonora , Mexico.
Topics that will be discussed at this meeting will be (1)
The war of conquest in the indigenous communities in the Americas;
(2) The
resistance of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the defense of
mother earth, their territories, and their cultures; and,
(3) Why indigenous
people of America struggle. For more information on the
