The Pangaea Archival Network makes documentary films about indigenous people, and promotes education about human culture and natural ecosystems. P.A.N. H.Q.
P.A.N.'S 10 Point Program
1. will help expose the past and present effects of corporate globalization within the Indigenous Communities of the world. will help expose the power that corporations hold over Indigenous Communities and work in ways that help to promote the restoration of self-determination and self-controlled destiny of Indigenous Communities. believes that Indigenous People’s will n
ot be free from Corporate Globalization and its many mechanisms until these communities are able to determine their own destinies without corporations destroying their natural environments and poisoning the people of the earth. This is to be put into action through the promotion of non-violent/educationally based goods and services to be directed by the community in question to affect these ends.
2. intends to work toward full autonomy for Indigenous Peoples. believes that corporate globalization is responsible for the poverty and disease which ravage the Indigenous Communities of the world. believes that corporate globalization has not operated in sustainable ways that the population of Indigenous Communities will continue to be affected and decimated. believes the means of production should be taken from the corporations and business people and placed into the control of the community so that the people of the community can organize, employ all people, give a high standard of living and engaging in sustainable technologies and practices that will preserve the planet for all to come.
3. intends to work toward an end to the exploitation by corporations of Indigenous Communities. believes that corporate globalization has exploited Indigenous Communities and now the time has come to have the corporations withdraw from Indigenous lands and to make full reparations to the communities that have been affected by the actions and means of production of the corporations.
4. intends to work toward decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings for all peoples. believes that if the corporate landlords will not give decent housing to Indigenous communities, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that Indigenous Communities can build and make decent housing of a sustainable nature available to Indigenous Communities. The community is the final say on how this housing is implemented and built within their communities as it knows the housing issues and needs for its people.
5. will work toward education for indigenous people that exposes the true nature of the corporate society. wants education that teaches the true history of Indigenous Peoples and their role in the present-day society. believes in an educational system that will give to indigenous people knowledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else.
6. will work toward all Indigenous Peoples to be exempt from governmentally controlled military service. believes that Indigenous Peoples should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend governments that do not protect them and that allows corporations to destroy the lands, resources and livelihoods of Indigenous Communities. believes that Indigenous Peoples should not fight and kill other people in the world who, like Indigenous people, are being victimized by the corporations’ and corrupted governments.
7. desires an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of Indigenous Peoples. believes we can help end police brutality in Indigenous communities by organizing Indigenous groups that are dedicated to defending Indigenous Communities from police oppression and brutality through non-violent means such as education and autonomous governmental systems based on Indigenous values and customs.
8. supports freedom efforts for all Indigenous Peoples held in international, federal, state, county and city prisons and jails. believes that all Indigenous people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial, and that they should be tried by the customs and traditions of their culture.
9. believes all indigenous people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their indigenous communities, as defined by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and intend to work toward this end. believes that the courts should follow the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples so that indigenous people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the indigenous community from which the indigenous defendant came. Indigenous Peoples have been, and are being tried by non-indigenous juries that have no understanding of the "average reasoning man" of the indigenous community.
10. will to work toward obtaining land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major objective, a United Nations-recognized court to be held throughout the indigenous lands in which only indigenous peoples will be allowed to participate for the purpose of determining the will of indigenous people as to their national destiny. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. believes that the time to cast off the shackles of corporate globalization from the Indigenous Communities of the world has come and enforces a nonviolent opposition is needed. This can be effected through education, documentaries, and direct non-violent participation with indigenous communities designed to meet the needs of the community as dictated by the community itself not by P.A.N. The Pangaea Archival Network affirms the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and recognizes that the basic tenants it is founded upon are applicable to the Pangaea Archival Network and its actions/works amongst Indigenous Communities. confirms that;
