"It is an honor to present the first edition of this Bulletin produced as a joint effort of the participants who represented Latin America in the "IV Healing our Spirit Worldwide Global Conference". We have adopted the conference’s title as the Bulletin’s name. As a quarterly publication, the main objective will be to create a network in order to share experiences that contribute to the well-being of the indigenous peoples of Abya Yala (name given by the Kuna people of Panama to all the American Hemisphere), and of the rest of the world. We believe that all of us share the same spirit granted by our Pacha Mama, our Mother Earth."

"The road that indigenous people have traveled throughout history has been exhausting. Nevertheless, the adversity we have faced has strengthened our peoples.Without a doubt, this vitality has sprung from the wisdom of each of our peoples and our arduous struggle to ensure that our rights are respected. This struggle has led to recognition and respect for the cultural diversity of our American Hemisphere."
