About the United Ancient Nations International Monetary Fund

Indigenous Community Meeting

The United Ancient Nations (UAN) is committed to fostering sustainable abundance and intergenerational prosperity for all its 160+ member nations and Indigenous peoples. We achieve this by revitalizing Earth-honoring economic systems rooted in reciprocity, cultural sovereignty, and sacred trade traditions—prerequisites for true stability in an interconnected world.

Governed collectively by Indigenous councils and wisdom keepers, the UAN champions policies that harmonize ancestral knowledge with modern innovation to nurture thriving communities, regenerative livelihoods, and spiritual-ecological balance.
