Ecological Protection in Dasiqox Nexwagwez?an

Dasiqox Nexwagwez?an was a way to describe an important place, a part of our homeland as Tsilhqot'in. And in expressing our self determination, three themes prioritized our actions for Ecological Protection, Sustainable Livelihoods, and Cultural Revitalization. The theme of Ecological Protection resonates, for the Tsilhqot'in who have taken responsibility of the land for generations, when leaders of Yunesit'in and Xeni Gwet'in speak:

This is Tsilhqot'in land, this is our territory, we should be able to exercise what we think is of value to us and to protect what we need to for future generations -- Yunesit'in Nits'il'in, Russell Myers Ross

Dasiqox Tribal Park is one of the most sacred places for our people, it's an alternate vision for our people to use it in a proper way -- Xeni Gwet'in Nits'il'in, Jimmy Lulua

Protect the Pipmuacan (in French)

The Pipmuacan is located on the Nitassinan of the Innu First Nation of Pessamit, in the heart of the boreal forest. Since time immemorial, the Pessamiulnut have occupied this territory. They eat there, take care of themselves and carry on their way of life.

Even today, the Pipmuacan is an essential place for the transmission of Innu heritage and identity. Frequented by Atik, the woodland caribou, the Pipmuacan is also an important sector for the recovery of this endangered species. But the continued expansion of logging and vacationing threatens the Pipmuacan region.

Concerned about maintaining the Pessamiulnut's link with the Nitassinan and ensuring Atik's survival, the Pessamiulnut are mobilizing for the protection of the Pipmuacan. Support them!

Write to the Innu Council of Pessamit to let them know about your support: http://bit.ly/ProtegeonsLePipmuacan 


#IndigenousPeoplesDay: The Guaraní WLT helped to save land for in 2012

Did you know that #IndigenousPeoples manage 33% of forests that hold 80% of the world’s biodiversity? They are the world’s best guardians of nature – and today is their day.

In 2012, WLT funded one of the most crucial land purchases we’ve ever supported. In Argentina’s Misiones Province, we joined a major project that returned 9,000+ acres to Indigenous Guaraní people. Landscape, culture, identity; all protected with help from WLT supporters.

Nine years on, this new documentary by filmmaker Marcelo Viñas (http://timbofilms.com/) opens a window into the Emerald Green Corridor, protected alongside our partner FBA: Guaraní people like Patricia, Lucinda or Paraí, whose bond with the land is evident in their daily routines.

Marubo people, Brazil, Feb. 2019 (in Portuguese)

In this clip, a Marubo man in northwestern Brazil talks, first in Portuguese and then in his native language, about his family's situation. They live separately from their larger community, as this joint family has built a maloca (a large main hut) plus smaller buildings near a main road. The man who speaks is the head of this extended family. He is worried because they don't have medicine which they need. The daughter next to him apparently does not take this seriously.

 Tuyuka people, Brazil, Feb. 2019 (in Portuguese)

This group of Tuyuka people has settled near Manaus to make a living from tourists, who come for short visits of approx. half an hour, during which the Tuyuka show them a dance and give some explanations about their culture. For this purpose, not only this young couple, but several members of the community extensively make use of face paintings and "exotic" attire. The man in this clip first speaks in his native language and then in Portuguese, explaining that they live in their little settlement and occasionally go to Manaus to buy things.

 Wayãpi people, French Guyana, March 2019 (in French)

In this clip, a Wayãpi man deplores the situation of his people in a town of French Guyana at the border with Brazil. French Guyana is considered to be part of the EU. It attracts indigenous peoples from the adjoining countries, as social welfare and child allowances are paid.

One of the resulting problems is alcohol abuse. Although Article 14 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples grants that "Indigenous peoples have the right to establish and control their educational systems and institutions providing education in their own languages, in a manner appropriate to their cultural methods of teaching and learning", the indigenous children are subject to compulsory school attendance, which leads to a rapid loss of cultural identity. With the teachers being role models, the pupils soon start to wear modern globalised dress, use smartphones, and abandon their traditional culture. The man who speaks in these two clips is a family father who makes his living as a caretaker at one of the French schools. In these two clips, he deplores, first in French and then in his native language, this process of cultural loss the children are going through and their changeover to modern culture which especially becomes evident after the third school year.
