2. What is the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples?

"Taking Action: Implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples" (2013) is part of an APF training package to support national human rights institutions to work with indigenous communities and better promote and protect their distinctive rights.

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is an imperative document. The United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has 46 different articles under it. I definitely want to get a copy of it and study it up. It is important to know our rights as a Indigenous people. I know that in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights you have article 25 section 1 which is our right to claim a nationality and you also have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 15 section 2 which is, "Nobody shall arbitrary deprived their nationality or be denied the right to change their nationality. It is very important to know the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is definitely very important for us to know. We also have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 18 which is our religious freedom and to practice different religions and beliefs as well as worship.

Siberian indigenous peoples have rights to liberate their land, their people. Siberia must be Independent state.

If only people would read the 1828 Webster Dictionary definition of "American" it tells you what the "Indigenous Niiji of Turtle Island" looked like when the Europeans arrived here.

Colonization is the highest act against humanity. The reason is because it collectively includes all acts against humanity, including slavery, dehumanization, land theft and, ethnic cleaning, mass genocide. There's no act against humanity that comes close to being colonized. Upon much mediation, I have concluded and awful truth and that is; there is no repairing the damage done. Once colonized, forever will the original inhabitants be viewed as lesser people than the colonizers. The evil harm and dehumanization and damage done by colonization is irreparable. Generation after generation of those of us entering the human world from the world of the spirits will be born into a world and a state of passed down pain within our very DNA of our human life form. Colonization is humanities greatest failure. Perhaps there is a way, but I fear it will never be taken, at least not within the next hundreds of years and that is, all fraudulent governments rescind their false sovereignty and give back the land to their rightful governments. However even that would simply be the first real step to healing colonized Nations. Even after that, your talking several generations of indigenous life thriving the way colonizers have been living to get to true healing. I fear humanity is far too behind the times and colonization has set humankind behind by at least 1,000 years. For generations, Indigenous people will be born into and live human life's in a lower state of being and deep ingrained pain of which we have no control of, even if humanity took full measures to act immediately. Colonization is a pain only the colonized can fully understand. It's such a deep pain, it's far beyond the likes and understanding of most. Colonization cannot be forgiven because there is no healing so long as the lands remain to be colonized. These are painful truths but these words I know to be absolute in truth. I speak these words of truth in the form of a Mi'kmaw, passed knowledge from the ancestors who have returned to the world of the spirits. I have little faith they will be heard, believed or even understood by any who have benefited from colonization. To bigots, I'll save you the time to write "get over it". I will. However, it's an impossibility while in human form. I have my pain well managed and in it's rightful place. In a place where it cannot control me and keep me from enjoying my human life experience. I will heal when I return to the spirit world. Not that you're actually concerned for my well being. You think that I should get over it, not because you wish I didn't have to live in passed down hurt and pain but so that you'll not have to deal with your own pain of being a colonizer. You too are a victim. You've been disconnected from mother earth and used as pawns to enrich others. Part of a machine for greed. You were not brought across the seas to live free but to live enslaved. You'll not understand or believe these worlds either. You've been to indoctrinated.

If it was so good than why did Australia, USA and Canada, which are among the most humane countries, vote against it.
