United Ancient Nations — Guinea-Bissau
Establishing a foundation for sovereign cooperation and multilateral engagement.
The United Ancient Nations (UAN) recognizes the Republic of Guinea-Bissau as a founding partner in its mission to advance the rights, dignity, and cultural heritage of ancient and indigenous nations across the African continent and the world. Guinea-Bissau’s rich historical identity, strategic position in West Africa, and commitment to multilateral dialogue make it a vital pillar of UAN’s regional mandate.
UAN’s presence in Guinea-Bissau reflects a shared vision for sovereign cooperation, cultural preservation, and sustainable development rooted in the principles of self-determination, peaceful coexistence, and mutual respect among nations.
The United Ancient Indigenous Enlightened Nations (UAN) is an Intergovernmental Organization representing over 160 Indigenous Member Nations and communities worldwide. Founded to elevate Indigenous voices globally, it operates under a Charter promoting international cooperation, ancestral wisdom preservation, and sustainable development through Indigenous leadership.
UAN's Direct Engagement in Guinea Bissau, encompasses specialized bodies dedicated to:

Through strategic partnerships with existing international bodies and alignment with global sustainability frameworks, the UAN amplifies the voices of over 300 million Indigenous peoples who have been historically marginalized from international decision-making processes.
Our work is guided by the enduring wisdom of Earth’s first peoples—wisdom that offers humanity essential solutions for creating a more harmonious, sustainable, and spiritually awakened world.
