Dear Everybody,Please find attached [latest version pasted below, not attached] the Anchorage Declaration of the Indigenous Peoples' Global Summit on Climate Change which took place in Anchorage, Alaska from 20-24 April 2009. Please disseminate it as widely as you can and put it in your websites.It was not easy to come up with the Declaration, but indigenous peoples demonstrated that they are able to come up with a consensus document by finally agreeing to this Statement before the Denaina Convention Centre in Anchorage closed the conference room.I hope the Asian indigenous peoples who took part, around 40 persons (including those from Central Asia) did find this Summit meaningful and will use the Declaration as a guide for the work you do at the local, national and global levels. As the focal person for Asia in the Global Steering Committee for this Summit. I would like to thank all the Asian colleagues and all the others who have actively participated to make the Summit a success.I also would like to thank the Christensen Fund and the Oak Foundation, IFAD, IWGIA and all others who provided support for this Summit.Warm regards,Vicky
