In regards to

The earth has a history, our history and the elders are its bearers. They are the keepers of ancestral wisdoms that heal their people. Their words carry us with their truth and the power of their teachings. They are a bit our grandmothers and our grandfathers to all because their path is that of our history, the history of humanity. So more than ever, the cultures of the First Peoples are important. Through their stories, their tragedies, their knowledge, they have survived the centuries and can teach us today better than anyone how to reconcile ourselves with Mother Earth. All over the world, we claim their message as guardians of Mother Earth, we are inspired by their philosophy, their art of living and the incredible richness of their cultures. Today is the time for reconciliation and dialogue between all peoples too long divided and separated.
