We, the Kwakiutl District Council Executive, determined to preserve and fulfill the destiny and responsibilities set out for us by our ancestors, do hereby reassert our rights and duties that will stand forever.

  • Now, in the spirit of our ancestors before us, upon whom we have called for wisdom, we place our names
  • We stand by the teachings of our ancestors in proclaiming our First Nations to the World Community.
  • We unite so strongly that the actions of each leader shall become the actions of the whole.
  • We have placed, as our goal and pupose, attainment and protection of all the rights of humankind and shall support such efforts by other nations.
  • By right of kinship with nature, we join in our efforts to protect the rights of the earth and the animal and plant life from destruction.
  • Now, therefore, keeping each of its own face and form, but each abiding his own strength and wisdom, we put aside all contentions and doubt. We pledge our individual and collective efforts, our dignity and our lives so that the Kwakiutl First Nations will be returned to a rightful place of honour in the world community.
