Women’s Hisrical Declaraon

We, Women of a naons and origins living upon Turtle Island in e rriry
day known as Quebec, declare e foowing:

We commit  respecng e Great Law of Peace and e Two Row Wampum in*oduced by e Original
Haudenosaunee Peoples of e Iroquois Confederacy of Five Naons on Turtle Island. 1is Law and is
Trea2 are e o3cial 4amework of governance of is land,  which a e peoples on Turtle Island are
legay and moray bound since e arrival of colonizing forces  is land.

1e Great Law of Peace is rood in e natural feminine wisdom of Creaon *ansmi7ed 4om generaon 
generaon rough ma*ilineal auori2, providing balance in comple synchronism wi e Laws of Nature.
1e Two Row Wampum is its vehicle. It symbolizes e accomplishment of peace in e uni8caon of peoples
wi mutual respect, openness and harmony, exempli:ing e constantly evolving Law as a living, breaing
exnsion of humani2.

1is Law and is Trea2 have never been respecd by e polical regimes established under e Brish
Crown. Such non-compliance is undeniably one of e root causes of corrupon at pervades day’s socie2.
A past and present des*ucve acons upon e environment are iegal and go against ese unalrable core
ances*al agreements. A inrferences upon e said Original Peoples, including e elecve sysm of band
councils and a e s*uctures imposed by such councils, are also iegal.

To resre our ingri2, we demand at e Brish Crown and a e oer naons of e world at came 
Turtle Island  iegay impose eir polical regimes cease at once a major damage in@icd
upon our Moer Ear. We demand reparaon for e devastaon of Nature’s life forces, caed resources,
caused by eir over-exploitaon and for a inrferences wi e Original Peoples and eir ances*al
cultures.

We declare ourselves  be e aied sisrs of e Original Peoples and o3ciay reject any kind of grip over
em. We demand e immedia recognion of eir tle as Guardians of e Ear.

We commit  honouring e responsibilies at fa upon us a as o3cial legal signaries of e Two Row
Wampum Peace Trea2. We denounce e violaon of is Trea2 leading  unhealy human relaonships.
We commit  re-establishing e sole legal decision-making process  exist under e Great Law of Peace and
represent e *ue voice of e people exercised in e form of *adional councils. Since each voice is respecd
and honoured and every decision is made rough consensus based on e Original Peoples’ ances*al guidance,
is process aows e immedia applicaon of soluons resulng 4om such councils.

We reCse any form of genec and chemical manipulaon in e agri-food and pharmaceucal secrs. We
demand e end of de*imental s*agies imposed upon e populaon and any living being  e de*iment of
e Laws of Nature.

We reCse any form of manipulaon in e educaon, informaon and military secrs. We demand at any
and a dishones2 cease. 1e hypersexualizaon of our children, e condioning, subjugaon and
impoverishment of e populaon, globalizaon, and any oer form of alienaon are enrely unacceptable.

We condemn a present and Cture colonizaon operaons, including ose at corporaons plan  conduct
on e Moon and in space. We demand e C mobilizaon of such eDorts and resources  e resraon and
procon of our Moer Ear in crical heal condion. We dissocia 4om any schemes generang war, an
immoral and cruel act, and demand at a ese eDorts be enrely dedicad  e resraon of peace
worldwide.

We declare at we choose peace and reCse war, at we choose ingri2 and reCse corrupon, and at we
choose love and reCse ha*ed. We declare ourselves  be life-givers as iden8ed by e Original Peoples of
Turtle Island and reCse  be life-takers.

We assert our personal and coecve 4eedom and reCse any and a religious in@uences.

We, Women of a naons and origins living upon Turtle Island in e rriry day known as Quebec, invi
a e peoples across e world  join us. We a3rm at e survival of humani2 is at stake and at e
enre world should endorse is declaraon  establish stabili2, balance and peace.

Exclusive aegiance  e Great Law of Peace and e Two Row Wampum and aiance wi e Original
Peoples represent e most beauCl gifts at we can oDer  Cture generaons and a forms of life on Ear.
