To document the national and international struggles
of Native American Indians and Indigenous Peoples of the world during the 20th
Century, this library and research center will house the finest collection of
materials concerning the struggles and accomplishments of Indigenous Indian
Peoples for cultural survival, sovereignty, national, and international
recognition. Contributions and donations to the Flying
Eagle Woman Fund of archival collections and historical materials have
already been received from, for instance:
-
the International Indian Treaty Council
archives, a treasure-trove of international Indigenous activities;
-
the American Indian Movement archives,
struggles of the mid 1970's;
-
the American Indian Law Alliance archives,
documenting international organizing, particularly thorough the United
Nations;
-
the American Indian Community House
archives, documenting the urban Indian struggles particularly in the
North Eastern corridor of the United States.
These voices, so vital to the emerging Indigenous
struggles of this 21st Century, and increasingly, to the entire human race, will
finally be provided and made easily available to students, scholars and the
Indigenous Indian Peoples of the world.
