Peoples' Day

Adapted from The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples:
We recognize the right of all peoples
To be different,
To consider themselves different,
And to be respected as such.
All peoples contribute
To the diversity and richness
Of human culture,
And are part of
The common heritage
Of humankind.
All doctrines, policies and practices
Based on or advocating superiority
Of peoples or individuals
On the basis of national origin
Or racial, religious, ethnic, or cultural differences
Are racist,
Scientifically false,
Legally invalid,
Morally condemnable
And socially unjust.
