Nothin' I see
But I did get this the other day:
"In September 7, 2007 the United Nation Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples inspiring "The Sovereignty Project" which has laid the path before us for our own Nation "The Cannabis Nation" to rise and be known as the Nation of Common Thread People below is some inspiring information along with the full version of each document.
From The Sovereignty Project :
"For the first time on the North American continent, an estimated three hundred local and international Indigenous Elders and Tribal representatives are expected to join in signing documents destined to go down in the annals of history as amongst the most powerful and globally significant since the Magna Charta and the now beleaguered, Constitution of the United States of America.
Described as ‘Declarations of Continuing Sovereignty’, the documents were created for use by individuals, tribes and whole nations to “peacefully proclaim and effectively live their full and unalienable rights as Original Sovereign People”, Jule du Varrens, an Australian-based project consultant for the group, said earlier today.
Inspired in part by the apparent lack of a ‘truly inclusive’ consultative process in the creation of the recently adopted UN’s Declaration on The Rights of Indigenous Peoples, these Gatherings and Declarations of indigenous communities around the world are, for many, considered to be the only sustainable and peaceful solution towards true self governance and determination.
The Elders, (Hereditary Chiefs, Clan Mothers, Faith Keepers and collaborators) who refer to their activities as “The Sovereignty Project”, conservatively(?) estimate upwards of a billion people worldwide are now represented within their alliance."
