Las Semanas “Orgulloso de Ser Indígena” comienzan el Lunes, 16 de Abril

Los Pueblos Indígenas de todo el mundo estarán viajando a la ciudad de Nueva York para el Foro Permanente de la Organización Naciones Unidas sobre Cuestiones Indígenas del 16 de al 27 de abril. Aunque la mayoría de nosotros no podemos llegar a Nueva York, nuestras voces deben ser escuchadas. Nuestro objetivo es crear una tormenta de actividad en línea durante el Foro Permanente para que se escuchen las voces Indígenas en todas partes.

Métis people are a group of Indigenous people who are federally recognized in Canada but not the United States. This identity is unique to the Great Lakes because of the French and Anishinaabe relationships.  My ancestry is Ojibway, Métis, Nippising and Huron.  Our Métis ancestry has been mixing since the late 1700’s on Mooniingwanekaaning-minis (Madeline Island, Wisconsin). 
The U.S. Department of Arts and Culture (USDAC) launched a new campaign called Honor Native Land in October 2017 that calls on individuals and organizations “to open all public events and gatherings with an acknowledgment of the traditional Native inhabitants of the land.” Whether it be in a conference setting, classroom, place of worship or sports stadium, the practice of honoring the historic relationship Indigenous Peoples have with the land is a crucial step in the process of decolonization and reconciliation. It’s an act of respect toward Native peoples who have lived and continue to live on their land despite centuries of dispossession and oppression. According to the USDAC website, 75 organizations have already signed the pledge to make acknowledgment a regular practice including arts organizations, non-profits and educational institutions.
