We Are One: A Celebration Of Tribal Peoples

From the frozen taiga of Siberia to the rainforest of the Amazon and the bushland of Botswana, We Are One celebrates the extraordinary diversity of tribal peoples - their cultures, values and beliefs - and the fragile, wild beauty of the homelands to which many are still so intimately connected. This book aims to create a sense of solidarity with tribal peoples, promoting the message that they are equal to us: just as modern, just as much part of the 21st century and with just as much right to live in peace. We Are One creates a greater sense of wonder and respect for the world’s tribes and their natural environments, and will emphasise the importance of what they have to teach us in terms of the many humanitarian and environmental issues inherent in their - and our - survival. We Are One is an international collaboration between tribal people, philosophers, journalists, academics, anthropologists, environmentalists and photojournalists, all brought together in support of indigenous tribes. Written contributions include Noam Chomsky, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Bruce Parry, Satish Kumar, Benedict Allen, Wade Davis, Jules Pretty, Robin Hanbury-Tennison and Richard Gere, to name but a few. Likewise, a large number of award-winning photographers have agreed to allow their work to be reproduced in this book, and the Rebecca Hossack gallery in London will be putting on an exhibition of images from the book at the time of its publication. We Are One is both a celebration of the fragile beauty of the world’s remaining tribes, and a powerful call to arms.
