The United Confederation of Taνno People
Declaration of
WE THE TAINO PEOPLE, determined to secure the blessings bestowed
upon us by the Creator, with respect for our mother earth, each other, our elders
and ancestors, affirming and safeguarding our Indigenous cultural heritage and
spiritual traditions, and in dedication to our children and future generations,
do hereby acknowledge and accept on this third day of January, Nineteen hundred
and ninety-eight (1998), this declaration with its articles being established
by the people unified and hereby constituting the United Confederation of Taνno
People:
Article 1
The
United Confederation of Taνno People, here and after referred to as the Confederation,
endeavors to unite and enlist representatives of Taνno organizations, groups,
and societies devoted to protect, defend, and preserve the Taνno cultural heritage
and spiritual tradition. Taνno cultural heritage and spiritual tradition
includes but is not limited to the protection and maintenance of our ancestral
remains, sacred sites, artifacts, and religious practices which involve the
use of ceremonial objects such as sacred plants and various feathers indigenous
to the Circum-Caribbean region which shall include: The Greater and Lesser Antilles,
the Bahamas, Bimini (Florida), the northern coastal area of South America and
the Yucatan Peninsula.
Article 2
The
Confederation diligently endeavors to encourage friendships, foster alliances,
and maintain communications and good relationships among Taνno Yucayeques, organizations,
groups, and societies, in particular those divided by international borders.
Article 3
The
Confederation will endeavor to promote spiritual, cultural, educational, economic,
and social activities for the development of contemporary Taνno communities
and our future generations.
Article 4
The
Confederation will encourage and support a central, ethnic Taνno registration
mechanism, recognized by each regional territory that will strengthen the understanding
and cooperation between all regional territories or jurisdictions and their
leadership.
Article 5
Issues
of concern to the Taνno People requiring a regional concerted action will be
resolved in consultation with the Confederation.
Article 6
The
Confederation recognizes and respects the autonomy of each member organization,
group or society promoting and practicing the principles and values left by
our ancestors from time immemorial and that have been established and accepted
by the Confederation. The Confederation
through majority consensus of its membership will expect accountability of any
Taνno Yucayeque, organization, group, society or leaders attempting to create
disharmony amongst Taνno people, abuse their leadership positions, engage in
false statements and/or creating the confusion that they represent the sole
leadership of the Taνno People (or this Confederation).
Article 7
This declaration shall be transmitted
by the Confederation to the Secretariat of the United Nations for registration
and publication in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. The
Confederation shall inform the Secretariat of the United Nations of all signatory
and denunciations received with respect to this Declaration.
Article 8
The Confederation will promote
respect for and full application of the provisions of this Declaration on the
local, national, and international levels.
I
..
.
hereby agree to respect and uphold this Declaration and to uphold the provisions
of its articles. I do also proceed with the understanding that violation of
the Declaration is an act against the natural laws of peace among the unified
Taνno People who constitute the United Confederation of Taνno People (UCTP).
