Race for the Roots is a Global, Cultural, Collective Movement based upon one simple idea:
If we lose our Indigenous/cultural roots, the tree of our humanity will collapse.
Through international participation in educational, celebratory, and multi-cultural festivals, which include music, dance, art and multi-media events, our aim is to safeguard, honour, rekindle, connect and propagate the extraordinary richness and diversity of our own human species.
Apolitical Statement–
Race for the Roots is not a political entity, and strives to remain apolitical. We celebrate and share our differences in a respectful way, and in a manner that promotes harmony, equality, community, and constructive conflict resolution. Most importantly, we defer to the wisdom of Indigenous peoples as the foundation of this organization.
Race for the Roots is a multicultural collective. We believe that the benign evolution of the human species hinges directly upon the reconnection to, and reverence for, all of our collective and ancient Root (Indigenous) cultures. These very cultures originally gave Homo sapiens the power and impetus to spring forward as a powerful force on our planet. But we have now reached a point in herstory/history where we are in danger of cataclysmic collapse. Unless a reconnection to our diverse collective roots can be encouraged with deeper growth and widespread expression, the present, growing, and dominant monoculture will rob us of our extraordinarily rich and collective diversity.
