Under the patronage of UNESCO

A new balance for humanity

In these troubled times where conflicts and environmental disasters are on the rise,

bearers of indigenous cultures in North, Central and South America

know it's time to get together.

The Aigle-Quetzal-Condor Summit event will be held in June 2023.

Representatives from North, Central and South America will spend six days together, including two days with the public at the Montreal Botanical Garden.

The objective: mobilization of indigenous spiritual leaders from the Americas (North, Central and South) as well as intercultural and intergenerational sharing for reconciliation and healing.

The Eagle-Quetzal-Condor Summit will also allow the full and complete recognition of indigenous spiritual traditions in the world, in the joy and respect of Mother Earth, to promote reconciliation between all Nations.

In preparation for the Summit, elders from the South and the North
gathered at La Conception last November.
