RESOURCES Indigenous Peoples' Literature | Dalai Lama on responsibility World Peace Day 1997 We are being drawn together by the grave problems of overpopulation, dwindling natural resources, and an environmental crisis that threaten the very foundation of our existence on this planet. Human rights, environmental protection and great social and economic equality are all interrelated. I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, one's own family or one's nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace. This need for co-operation can only strengthen humankind, because it helps us to recognize that the most secure foundation for a new world order is not simply broader political and economic alliances, but each individual's genuine practice of love and compassion. These qualities are the ultimate source of human happiness, and our need for them lies at the very core of our being. The practice of compassion is not idealistic, but the most effective way to pursue the best interests of others as well as our own. The more we become interdependent the more it is in our own interest to ensure the well-being of others." ### Democracy and the Iroquois: a Bibliography RESOURCES ON IROQUOIS DEMOCRACY & GOVERNMENT BOOKS A Basic Call to Consciousness: The Haudenosaunee Address to the Western World Akwesasne Notes, Mohawk Nation, via Rooseveltown, NY 13686; 1978; $5.95+p&h The White Roots of Peace by Dr. Paul A.W.
