We extend our sincere appreciation to the Organization of American States (OAS) for hosting the IX Inter-American Week of Indigenous Peoples and for creating a space where Indigenous peoples and communities throughout the Americas could participate, engage in dialogue, and share their perspectives.
It was an honor for Chief to participate in the conversation on Strengthening Participation and Dialogue between Indigenous Peoples and the OAS, providing an opportunity for the Xi-Amaru Republic to have a voice and representation in this important dialogue.
We are equally grateful for the opportunity to share photographs representing our people, leadership, and the inauguration of the Aboriginal Ministry of Justice as part of the week’s recognition of Indigenous communities. https://www.oas.org/ext/es/principal/calendario/evento/id/1906
Opportunities for Indigenous peoples to speak for ourselves, represent our communities, share our experiences, and participate in conversations that concern Indigenous peoples are deeply important.
Thank you to the OAS Office of Relations with Civil Society (ORCS), the Office of the Assistant Secretary General (OASG), and everyone who contributed to making this week possible.
