International Community Building
In December 2005, the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation (UIATF) Board of Directors unanimously appointed Phil Lane Jr. (Yankton Dakota/Chickasaw) as Chief Executive Officer. Through this appointment, UIATF joined forces with the Four Worlds International Institute For Human and Community Development based in Alberta Canada to implement the Four Worlds Model for Human and Community Development as the integrative scheme of thought for all UIATF programming. Through this partnership, an international network of Indigenous peoples has been united and is steadily growing across the Americas and beyond. The primary focus of this international network is the manifestation of the Reunion of the Condor and Eagle through The Fourth Way, as prophesized by the Ancient Ones. Background information on The Fourth Way: An Indigenous Contribution for Building Sustainable and Harmonious Prosperity in the Americas is available by emailing fourthway (at) unitedindians.org
