Dear all,<br>
<br>
Thank you so much for adding your name to the petition
"Restoring the Rights of the Indigenous Ainu people." Thanks to your
support, the petition has
collected over 15000 signatures.<br>
<br>
Along with Ainu representatives from Asahikawa in Ainu
Mosir (Hokkaido) we are planning to submit the petition on June 7th to
the Japanese government.
<div><br>
For
this, we
are particularly interested in getting more international support
for
this petition. It is vital to show the Japanese government that the
international community has raised its voices to support this petition,
as the government often takes petitions more seriously if they are also
supported by people outside of Japan. If you know of any friends,
organizations, or mailing lists
that may be interested in
participating in this petition, we sincerely hope you can circulate
this petition and help us get more international support.<br>
<br>
Similarly, we
are hoping to make this an
international action with indigenous peoples' communities around the
world. Would you be able to give us any suggestions about how to
submit this petition to United Nations or UNPFII or
any other international body?<br>
<br>
Prior to the submission to Japanese government on June 7th, we will
have a
traditional prayer, ceremony and dance event in Tokyo on June 6th. The
theme is "kewtum pirka utar an teke amparo (let's hold hands together
with a beautiful mind)" Together with Asahikawa Ainu representatives,
Ainu guests from the Tokyo area will join us and participate in panel
discussions as well. This event is the PART 2 of the event we held last
year with 1700 people's participation called "the message from
indigenous Ainu --linking Ainumosir with the Tokyo area. "<br>
<br>
The attached document is the flyer for the June 6th event. There is
a summary in English below. If you are around the Tokyo area, please
come and enjoy the event.
