This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
While countries all over the world are on lockdown, and panic is the order of the day, this is a time when Indigenous Peoples around the world are encouraged to stay calm, and be strong, in the face of severe adversity.
What is most important to note, is that our elderly are the most vulnerable. We need to take extra precaution to save the lives of the ones who are dear to us, and the ones who have shown us the way to go, who have guided our feet on the path that we all walk.

Le droit au consentement libre, préalable et éclairé signifie que les gouvernements doivent informer les communautés autochtones des projets de développement dans leurs territoires, et écouter leurs opinions avant de commencer aucun projet.

Dès la naissance, tout être humain a des droits inaliénables et en tant que peuple autochtone, nous avons le droit au consentement libre, préalable et éclairé. Ce droit vaut pour tout le monde quel que soit le pays d'ou vous venez, et il doit être appliqué des lors qu'un gouvernement tente d’exploiter les ressources naturelles dans nos communautés. Et ce particulièrement quand ces projets risquent de provoquer des changements nuisibles à nos terres.

A chaque saison, je m'inquiète de notre (mauvaise) récolte; nous n’avons plus assez de terres agricoles depuis que l'entreprise s’est installée dans notre communauté. C'est vrai, on a pris nos terres sans notre consentement préalable, libre et éclairé. Ce droit oblige toute entreprise ou gouvernement d'informer, de consulter et d'écouter les peuples autochtones avant d'exploiter leurs terres. Agissons donc pour responsabiliser cette entreprise.
