"It seems that we are living in a time of prophesies, a time of
definitions and decisions. We are the generations with the
responsibility and option to choose the path of life with a future
for our children or the life and the path that defies the laws of
regeneration". (Oren Lyons)
"These eloquent speeches by 20 native leaders from throughout
the world define the precipice upon which the world's indigenous
people are teetering. Each speaker addresses survival issues
confronting his/her country. In the words of Anderson Muutang Urud
from Southeast Asia: 'The world is rushing towards a single
culture. We should pause and reflect on the beauty of
diversity.'... Recommended". (Library Journal)
Inaugurating the International Decade of the World's Indigenous
Peoples, leaders from 20 cultures of North, Central, and South
America, the Pacific Rim, Eurasia, and the polar regions brought
their message to the United Nations for the first time, speaking
eloquently on issues affecting their own cultures and populations
as well as the global disaster facing humanity. This book makes us
keenly aware of the global nature of the disaster facing indigenous
people and the human race as a whole: the disappearance of
diversity and traditional ways of life, as well as the loss of the
vital knowledge of how to sustain equilibrium with our planetary
environment.
