Indigenous Peoples' Message To The World, The

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ MESSAGE TO THE WORLD This is our chance to listen to a message from people closely connected to the Earth. The industrial world has put their very existence at stake. Stop and listen to their world! -- Mickey Hart, drummer with the Grateful Dead and author of Drumming at the Edge of Magic Available for the first time in a digital format, the “Indigenous Peoples’ Message To The World” documents the First World Conference of Indigenous Peoples, a collaboration of numerous organizations, individuals and indigenous peoples from around the globe. The lectures and cultural music presentations that made up the conferences were recorded live in the Amazon jungle in Brazil in 1992 and delivers a timeless and deeply relevant message to us all. The extraordinary partnership captured here was spearheaded by Marcos Terena, the founder of the United Indigenous Nations, and supported by the Tribal Link Foundation and Land is Life, organizations that actively promote and protect the rights of indigenous peoples. Not only did this program receive a starred review in Publishers Weekly (PW), which called it a who of ritual tribal music and ceremony", but PW was inspired to create a new award – The pioneering Hybrid of the Month Award – specifically for this moving title.
