We continue to maintain our rights as peoples, despite centuries of deprivation, assimilation and genocide. We still have the right to decide our own form of government, to use our own laws, to raise and educate our children to our own cultural identity without interference. We maintain our inalienable rights to our land and our territories, to all our resources above and below and to our waters. We assert our ongoing responsibility to pass these on to the future generations. We cannot be removed from our lands. We, the indigenous peoples, are connected by the circles of life, to our lands and our environments. We, the indigenous peoples, walk to the future in the footprints of our ancestors. As indigenous peoples, we declare:

We the Indigenous People of the different communities of the Earth, our mother, affected by the nuclear fuel chain, conscious of our undeniable right for self-determination, our right for a clean environment, concern for our health and well-being and for our future generations, find that:

• based upon the testimony and experiences of
• based on the evidence of damage to our people, culture, economy, land, water and air;
• based on our respect for spiritual values, beliefs, practices

we cannot tolerate the destruction of our existence.

We demand:

• No more exploitation of our land and people by uranium mining, waste dumping and nuclear testing.
• Clean up and restore our homelands.
• Fully disclose all information about the nuclear industry and its dangers.
• Provide full and fair compensation for damage to
  *our people, families and communities,
  *our culture and economy,
  *our homelands, water, air and all things living.
  
• Provide independent and objective monitoring of our health and our lands.

We further say:

In view of the unity of humanity and the world, we appeal on behalf of our future generations to use sustainable, renewable and enhancing energy alternatives. We ask the whole world, including leaders and scientists to share in our vision for peace, harmony and respect for life.
