Statement from the Original Peoples’ Caucus

The inherent knowledge of Original Peoples come from our Mother Earth
and the ancestors that came before us and the ones that will come after us.

This knowledge is intertwined in our spirituality and way of being utilizing Natural law.
Current governments are working to commodify not just the lands, the waters, the animals, but all people.
We must break free from these oppressive structures
and return to values that respect the knowledge of the Original peoples of Turtle Island.
