[Jennifer Teeter]

Thank you Rolland for sharing this information with everyone.  The
petitionsite.com will not let us reopen the previous petition, so we have
made another petition link for collecting signatures. It is here:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/16/restore-the-rights-of-indigenous-ainu-people-extended

Thank you for your support!

> Dear all,
>
> 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.
>
> Along with Ainu representatives from Asahikawa in Ainu Mosir (Hokkaido) we
> are planning to submit the petition on June 7th to the Japanese government.
>
> 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.
>
> 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?
>
> 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. "
>
> 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.
