Our impact
LRDI empowers communities to secure and protect their land through legal support, advocacy, and sustainable solutions, impacting lives and preserving rights across generations.
This is the sworn, unyielding testimony of a seventh-generation royal descendant fighting to preserve a sacred inheritance—a vast tract of ancestral land gifted by the legendary King Osei Tutu I. The memoir, The Last Guardian of Ashanti, unveils a decades-long war that goes far beyond a simple property dispute. It is a spiritual and legal battle over a founding covenant and the very soul of a nation.
What happens when the most revered institutions become a source of peril? The narrative exposes an alleged institutional betrayal where a respected public office and the highest spiritual authority were strategically leveraged to plunder a family’s sacred birthright. You’ll discover the chilling truth behind the forced execution of an ancient, hidden royal decree and the prophetic price paid by those who dared to uphold it.
United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII)
A Global Platform Amplifying Indigenous Voices and Rights
The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) is the United Nations’ central body dedicated to advancing the rights and well-being of Indigenous peoples worldwide. Held annually at the UN Headquarters in New York, the forum serves as a powerful platform for Indigenous leaders, governments, civil society organizations, and experts to engage in meaningful dialogue and shape global policy.
The forum addresses key themes such as land rights, cultural preservation, environmental protection, and social inclusion, providing strategic recommendations to UN agencies and member states. It plays a vital role in monitoring the implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and ensuring that Indigenous voices are not only heard, but acted upon.
Our engagement with the UNPFII reaffirms our commitment to Indigenous-led advocacy, ancestral land protection, and global solidarity.
