Communities reconnecting with ancestral wisdom through cultural restoration programmes and traditional practices
Land-back initiatives supporting Indigenous sovereignty and traditional ecological knowledge systems
Earth-honoring practices supporting biodiverse ecosystems and traditional foodways
In a world of abundance, where ancient traditions once ensured all beings lived in reciprocity, imbalance should not exist. Yet colonization, climate disruption, forced assimilation, and systemic inequality have severed 343 million people from their ancestral lifeways, with 1.9 million facing cultural extinction. In the Amazon and Sudan, sacred knowledge systems are already vanishing.
Guided by the prayers, dedication, and ancient expertise of millions of wisdom keepers, healers, and land defenders across 120+ nations, UAN fulfills its sacred duty. We:
for communities displaced by conflict and ecological collapse
to rebuild resilient futures in alignment with natural law
seed sovereignty, and Earth-honoring practices
We work to strengthen intergenerational wisdom transmission for women and children, support Indigenous farmers and land stewards in revitalizing biodiverse ecosystems, help nations prepare for climate shifts using ancestral forecasting and adaptation practices, and nourish cultural vitality through language revival and ceremonial renewal.
In areas of conflict, we mediate through traditional peacemaking and use cultural restoration as a pathway to stability—a sacred work recognized by the Indigenous Earth Guardians Prize.
For millions, UAN's emergency cultural preservation and land-back initiatives mean the difference between survival and extinction.
