Formal Statement
Aboriginal Indigenous Ancient Relative Human Being Remains and
Their Belongings
This statement reflects the wisdom of the Spiritual People of the Earth, of the four directions, working in unity to promote peace, harmony and balance for the future of all living beings. We are from various Indigenous Nation, united under the Creator’s Law and are spiritually related. This statement is written in black and white with a foreign language that is not our own and does not convey the full depth of our concerns.
The Creator gave us our way of life to live in harmony with the natural world. Our ancient ancestors instructed us to live by the Creator’s Natural Law, which guides all Life. We have our own language and words to correctly identify who our ancient ancestors are to us and for the places we hold sacred. It is important that we understand and use the correct names in our original language because these words are connected to our spiritual foundation, given to us by the Creator to follow and uphold.
