In this video, James O’Dea reads (beginning at 7:10) the Declaration of Commitment to Indigenous Peoples at the “Wisdom From the Origins” Conference 2012. O’Dea is the founder of The Shift Network and, as part of a worldwide movement for peace, drafted the Declaration to demonstrate “a deeper reconciliation with the Earth’s indigenous peoples.”
Our work at The Pachamama Alliance embodies the essence of this Declaration, and for more than 15 years we have been committed to defending the rights of indigenous communities and inspiring the modern world to embrace indigenous values and peoples once more.
