A Call to Action
The League of Indigenous Nations treaty recently signed by indigenous delegates from English-speaking colonial states, is expected to be signed by indigenous nations worldwide later this year. Described by those in attendance at the historic gathering at Lummi as a call to action, the treaty-making participants acknowledged the obstacle to indigenous liberation posed by CANZUS, the anti-indigenous coalition -- comprised of the governments of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States -- that has actively opposed indigenous rights at the UN.
