V. is an organization dedicated to supporting Indian nations of North America, who are still waiting to be acknowledged as independent sovereign nations. The common aim to preserve natural resources and to protect the environment connects people world-wide. Facing the global challanges on behalf of human rights and environmental protection active cooperation is urgently needed. V. endeavours a dialogue between people affected and institutions, companies and government officials who rule or influence our lives today, and hereby we hope to improve the situation of North America's indigenous nations. Our primary goal is to reach recognition of these people as sovereign nations.
Indian people have a right to self-determine their lives.
At home and abroad members of our organization research on the situation by their own means and financial capacities and participate in actions like the Lubicon blockade in 1988 or demonstrations at the Nevada Test Site in 1989. We consider ourselves as a political organization, but politics and culture are inseparable, therefore we participate in exhibitions and events endorsing an understanding and respect of native culture. As the tasks are global, so is the work. We have always stressed international cooperation and thus participated in UN meetings to guarantee Human Rights and indigenous identity.
