Sacred Sites
20. We urge States, governments and civil society to work in conjunction with Indigenous Peoples to ensure that Indigenous Peoples’ sacred, ceremonial and culturally significant sites and areas are preserved, respected and protected from destructive or exploitative development. We will ensure our peoples’ access to our sacred, burial, archeological and historical sites, including the unqualified right to restrict access to those sites.
Food Security
21. We will promote the conservation, sustainable use and management of our traditional foods and strengthen our own models, systems and networks of production and trade, urging States to guarantee the integrity of our biological habitats for this purpose.
22. We will work against technologies, policies, and legal regimes that violate Indigenous Peoples’ rights to maintain our traditional knowledge, practices, seeds and other food related genetic resources.
23. We urge governments and international institutions to develop mechanisms to support Indigenous Peoples’ own practices and institutions to ensure food sovereignty.
