It is urgent that human beings re-establish respectful and nourishing relationships between themselves and the living earth. Our survival rests on the values deeply held by the world's Indigenous peoples. The Indigenous Values Initiative (IVI) is dedicated to the values expressed by the Onondaga Nation leadership, Central Fire of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (People of the Longhouse). IVI is an independent organization which collaborates with a variety of individuals, institutions, communities, governments, and businesses to articulate, disseminate and promote the ancient and enduring values of Indigenous people's traditions to the world through writing and film, special events and conferences,multimedia and arts projects, and a host of celebrations.
