Not only was Mashanicut being held in Providence, Rhode Island, this past summer, but a series of treaties was also being signed throughout July.

Because of the relationship that The State of African Diaspora (SOAD) and The Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas (FANA) have developed over the past few years, SOAD has signed the Kinakwii Peace Treaty, thereby joining with the Kinakwii Nation and FANA's Member Tribes/Nations. Please click here to read the Kinakwii Peace Treaty

This Peace treaty recognizes the sovereign and inalienable "preemininent" rights of the Indigenous people of their "lands, Hereditary Chiefs, Clan Mothers, Spiritual Leaders, Council of Hereditary Chiefs and Heads of State."

By signing the Peace Treaty, SOAD joins its allies with a commitment "to work together combining collective strengths, knowledge, and collective efforts and influence to channel those qualities into one common agenda". Please click here to read the Peace Treaty.

SOAD and FANA continued to collaborate to establish a trade and economic connection between Africa and the Eastern Coast of the Americas. It also connects Africa, through FANA's allies and member nations, to the West Coast of America, and onto Hawaii and the Polynesian Nations. SOAD will also be connected with Japan.

I will be posting other treaties in the weeks to come that will shape the global influence of the Indigenous peoples

I am including the link to the Peace Treaty below in case the embedded link does not work. https://www.fana.global/documents/treaties/soadandkinakwiipeacetreaty
