Statements

There are unique features of indigenous culture, both with regard to the culture of all indigenous peoples relating to specific understandings and links to their land and a general philosophy on life based on traditional knowledge. Of course there are also many differences between the distinct indigenous peoples across the whole of the country, and the site will over time try to cover information as many of those peoples as possible. The key section of this site is given over to statements by Indigenous Peoples themselves.
