THE INDIGENOUS CAFE PODCAST INTRO “…an equal standard of human rights must be recognized and adopted…all men are equal…there is no distinction or preferment for any soul in the dominion of His (God/Creator) justice and equity.” -Universal House of Justice

We should as indigenous people who are fighting for equal rights be guided by this quote, “The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.” -Bahá’u’lláh We have to fight for all people to have equal rights, we have been and are all about community.  (00:00:00-00:02:08)

Roman Orona (Host) (00:19:58-00:21:47) “…continuing the emphasis on the need for unity in diversity-a unity which implies mutual tolerance among the various populations, a recognition by dominant populations of the freedom of indigenous peoples to exercise their rights in all legitimate varieties of ways, and the corollary recognition of indigenous peoples themselves that such freedom carries with it the responsibility of recognizing the rights of all others to the same expressions. The implications for indigenous peoples also include: realization of the virtues of cross-cultural influences; appreciation of the values of other cultures as accruing to the wealth of human experience and the freedom of all to share in such values without necessarily giving up their respective identities’ avoidance of parochial attitudes which degenerate into ethnic and cultural prejudices’ and, above all, appreciation of the necessity to maintain a global perspective within which the particulars of indigenous expression can find an enduring context…”  -Universal House of Justice

Roman Orona (Host) (00:40:00-00:41:04) “Concerning indigenous rights, it stands to reason that indigenous people are entitled to all the human rights accorded other peoples. For example, they should be guaranteed the full rights of citizenship, and all acts of discriminations against them, which may have developed over the years, should be eliminated. At the same time, it would be unseemly for the demands for their rights to make, on the basis of their indigenousness, a special claim to exclusive rights and privileges which exceed the necessity to redress injustices…” -Universal House of Justice

Roman Orona (Host) (00:55:00-00:57:05) “Indigenous people have a slightly significant role to play in the development of the World Order…as is indicated in the oft-quoted words of Abdu’l-bahá concerning the American continent to the effect that “should these Indians be educated and properly guided, there can be no doubt that through the Divine teachings they will become so enlightened that the whole earth will be illumined.” In this period of social evolution, however, minorities, including indigenous peoples, continue to suffer from oppressive and disheartening treatment in many parts of the world… ” -Universal House of Justice
