This conversation takes us on a journey which touches upon the issues of land, tradition and cultures, as well as their concerns confronting pastoralists within the confines of States who like people to be settled, as Ida reminds us. The problematic qualification of "who are Indigenous Peoples" also arises in this dialogue. Ida, in her role as a member of the Permanent Forum sees that there is a great willingness in the UN bodies to work on these issues. The need for a media strategy to move beyond the walls of the UN is also addressed.

Tupac Enrique Acosta
Xicano, Territories Aztlan

The Sacred Staffs of the Confederacy of the Eagle and the Condor arrived at the United Nations headquarters on the morning of May 14, 2003 and were received by the traditional leadership of the Haudenausaunee Confederacy. The Haudenausaunee, also known as the People of the Longhouse, are here in New York along with Indigenous Peoples from around the world attending the second session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, an advisory body to the Economic and Social Council. Tupac Enrique Acosta shares the meaning of this event with Javier Perez in a message about tradition and liberation.  He interprets the concept of sustainability from within the framework of ancient knowledge and spirituality, and its importance not only for the Indigenous nations of the Americas, but for all peoples of the world.
