Indigenous Liberation Day: March and 1492 People’s Tribunal
14 oktober 2023 @ 13:00 - 17:00
On October 14th we march in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples against ongoing colonization to keep accountable colonial companies, governments and institutions.
Start of March: Dam Square, Amsterdam – 14:00-15:00
1492 People’s Tribunal & Mapu ceremonie: Kop van Java (Javakade 201, Amsterdam)- 15:00-17:00
On October 14th we organized a day of protest including; a solidarity march, Mapu commemoration and solidarity ceremony and a 1492 people’s tribunal including cultural performances. Together we commemorate the day Columbus invaded Abya Yala (the American continent) in 1492. A date that marks the symbolic beginning of European colonialism. A process that has institutionalised genocide, slavery and ecocide worldwide. As a result, the right to self-determination, identity and culture of Indigenous People’s is still under pressure. Indigenous land defenders are displaced and killed; rivers and environment polluted; and land expropriated for the profit of large multinationals. The result is the current climate crisis. Therefore, it is time for reparatory justice and decolonisation! This day of protest offers a platform to critical perspectives on the climate crisis, healing, cultural values, and solidarity.
