 | | Chief Oren Lyons discusses sovereignty - 417 sec
O n Sept. 13, the United Nations overwhelmingly passed a resolution of tremendous importance to the indigenous people of the world, but did you hear about it?
Chief Oren Lyons , faithkeeper and chief of the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga people, was in Taos Saturday (Dec. 8) to help inaugurate the Yaxche Learning Center's new facility at the former R.C. Gorman residence in Las Colonias. Before the ceremonies got underway, Lyons taped an interview with The Taos News Media Center in which he spoke about the UN's Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples, which was passed with 143 votes in favor.
This was a significant vote even if all 192 members of the general assembly were in attendance. But, what is even more significant, Lyons said in the interview, is that there were 11 abstentions and four nations that voted against it. Those who objected to the nonbinding declaration were New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States, each of which have large numbers of indigenous people.
The reasons the U.S. decided not to support the declaration was because one of the articles states "indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired."
According to a Reuters news story, this was considered controversial because "that could potentially put in question most of the land ownership in countries, such as those that opposed the declaration, whose present population is largely descended from settlers who took over territory from previous inhabitants."

Oren Lyons was born in 1930 and raised in the traditional lifeways of the Haudenosaunee on the Seneca and Onondaga reservations in northern New York State. After serving in the army, Lyons graduated in 1958 from the Syracuse University College of Fine Arts. He then pursued a career in commercial art in New York City. A noted American Indian artist, he has exhibited his paintings widely.
Since returning to western New York in 1970 and joining the faculty of SUNY Buffalo, Chief Lyons has been a leading advocate for American Indian causes. Faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga Nation, and a member of the Council of Chiefs of the Haudenosaunee, he is respected internationally as an eloquent spokesperson. In 1982, he helped to establish the Working Group on Indigenous Populations within the United Nations and has taken part in meetings of the U.N. Human Rights Commission. He also serves on the executive committee of the Global Forum of Spiritual and Parliamentary Leaders on Human Survival, and is a principal figure in the Traditional Circle of Indian Elders, grassroots leadership council of the major Indian nations of North America.

"Hidden Medicine is an experimental, mystical film that deals with the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and the environment. The story takes place in Onondaga Nation Territory with appearances by Chief Oren Lyons, Clan Mother Audrey Shenandoah, Horst Rechelbacher, and Candace B. Pert. A young girl, played by Dakota René, has a dream about a traditional runner who takes a crucial message from his clan to the United Nations. The film beautifully weaves story, poetry, music and politics, creating an impending sense of our planet's struggle to survive." - Heather Rae / Sundance Film Festival
"Hidden Medicine" is featured on the CD/DVD release, "NATIVE CHILDREN'S SURVIVAL If not now, when? If not you, who?", which is an essential CD/DVD collection of music, music videos, rockumentary films and public service announcement campaigns about the critical need to permanently protect our last remaining wild places and bridge the gap between Indigenous Peoples, Human Rights and the Environment.
