On Saturday September 20th, 2003 at the podium of Toronto's City Hall at noon (12,00 o'clock) the Wiphala will be raised for the second time in Canada. The Wiphala is the sacred emblem of andean indigenous whose territory includes Bolivia, Ecuador, Perú,northern Chile and Argentina and southern Colombia.

It is today a symbol of indigenous resistance and fight against opression, exploitation, humiliation and dispossession that aboriginal nations have lived for the last 510 years. It symbolizes the indigenous demand for their fundamental rights such to self-determination and territorial sovereignty.

The Wiphala is also the mythical representation of the solar, lunar and agricultural calendar. It represents the cosmic system which identifies the organization of the communal system bases on harmony, unity, mutuality and equality of the Aboriginal Andean First Nations.

As philosophical symbol, it represents the evolution of science, technology, art, the socio-economic, political and cultural aspects of the Andean communal system.

The Aboriginal Andean Nations Council (Consejo Andino de Naciones Originarias, CANO), and other sponsors invite all to this event to honour the Andean indigenous people living in Toronto, the Autumn Equinox and the Eighth Anniversary of CANO.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
