THE INDIGENOUS GROUNDS DEVELOPMENT & COMMUNITY RESTORATION PLAN
THE PEOPLE
The Indigenous peoples of the Americas are the inhabitants of the Americas before the arrival of the European
settlers in the 15th century, and the ethnic groups who now identify themselves with those peoples. The people are
the most fundamental or essential characteristic or element of community. This group may be small or large but
community always refers to a group of people. Because without a group of people we can’t think of a community, when
people live together and share a common life and binded by a strong sense of community consciousness at that
moment a community is formed. Hence a group of people is the first pre-requisites of community. KWAJI:YÄ K’NÖGÉ
offers a sentiment of common living that exists among the members of the community. Because of common living
within an area for a long time a sentiment of common living is created among the members of the village. With this the
members emotionally identify themselves. This emotional identification of the members distinguishes them from the
members of other community.
Where as both legacy and lineage are accepted as indissoluble, innate aspects of Amerindian culture; individual
acknowledgment and appraisal of both the KWAJI:YÄ KNÖGÉ NATION and each KWAJI:YÄ KNÖGÉ member’s
distinctive culture are defining attributes linking the members with their fellow KWAJIANS. This assertion is critical to
one’s inclusion to the KWAJIAN community. Whereas the KWAJIAN Consulate recognises these individual members
to ultimately be derived from the Americas, and acknowledges their ideology, historical contribution and/or mere
existence to be inspirational to the modern state of the KWAJI:YÄ KNÖGÉ NATION, its constitution, ideology, and/
or existence we honour these our embodiments of KWAJIAN Spirit and or zeal inspired by passion or enthusiasm.
KWAJI:YÄ K’NÖGÉ aims to restore our people to the lifestyles for-mentioned and establish a community rich in
tradition as well as a viable economic program to ensure longterm sustainability. Whereas all our liberty and our
American heritage and usufruct is reaffirmed, reclaimed, and retained into perpetuity for time immemorial.
THE LAND & RESOURCES
KWAJI:YÄ KNÖGÉ is an indigenous Amerindian community, & science has concluded that individuals ability to absorb
nutrients increases when consuming native foods. Therefore our industrial ambition will not compromise our
commitment to the restoration of our national food supply. The village will provide organic produce for local, regional
and International markets. Sustainable development is dependent on the mindset of a community. The village is
determined to protect the lands from degradation by implementing sustainable consumption and production methods.
Resource management is also critical to support the needs of the present and future generations. The territory of the
village is an indigenous sanctuary for its people as well as the
Indigenous plants and fauna. Ancestral methods and principles have always maintained a healthy balance between land
conservation and sustainability. Our agricultural design is centred around permaculture and cultivation methodologies
that ensure the lowest possible environmental impact.
The ability to exploit the raw materials is almost as important as the existence of raw materials.. Sustainable
development is dependent on the mindset of the community and as we move from the era of conventional systems
that erode and take away from our alignment with nature, we will focus on the development of Eco friendly methods
that address issues like climate change & sustainable living. Food security, as defined by the United Nations’ Committee
on World Food Security, means that all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe,
and nutritious food that meets their food preferences and dietary needs for an active and healthy life.
Along with food production & holistic products, we will also offer homeopathic services at our wellness centre. Health
will always be a high priority for KWAJI:YÄ KNÖGÉ as such we have developed a series of workshops within our
healing centre and will offer a holistic approach for natural healing. We are honoured and committed to preserving the
nutritional content of our products as well as the integrity of the land. By implementing the systems of permaculture &
companion planting we insure the lowest possible impact to the environment while providing our consumers natural
and nutrient dense produce.
