National governments and international organizations must recognize and support tribal rights to their traditional land, cultural autonomy, and full local sovereignty. The United Nations must establish an international organization which includes membership from the political states and indigenous peoples for the purpose of reviewing grievances and claims proclaimed by indigenous peoples, and such an organization must be empowered to address the U.N. Security Council and U.N. General Assembly to promote redress of authenticated grievances. The United Nations must establish an international organization which includes membership from the political states and indigenous peoples for the purpose of offering financial aid and technical assistance to indigenous peoples when they initiate a request, and such a financial and technical aid organization should be empowered to secure such financial commitments from other world organizations and political states as may be necessary to the needs of indigenous peoples. Change in the lives of indigenous peoples is a condition which has always existed. Serious changes have given rise to serious readaptations to the new condition.
Indigenous peoples represent many peoples, many cultures, and also different ways of thinking.
But, they share the same natural world and the same spiritual world. As we close this presentation we cannot help but make the observation that industrial political states have risen and seem to be in decline since their emergence just over two hundred years ago. Tribal societies have existed for aver 10,000 years and continue to adapt and adjust.
