MORE ABOUT GLOBAL INDIGENOUS MONARCHICAL ALLIANCE
United in Heritage, United in Sovereignty, United in Solidarity
The Global Indigenous Monarchical Alliance (GIMA) was established on 25 May 2026 following international consultations among Sovereign Heads and representatives of Indigenous Monarchies. These discussions were conducted with the Alliance's Directors, H.E. Dame Nina Saleh Ahmed, Duchess of Neuquén, and Werken Reynaldo Mariqueo, Duke of Meli-Peuko, who shared a common conviction that there exists an urgent need for Indigenous Monarchies to unite in cooperation and solidarity through a single international organisation.
The Alliance was founded to strengthen, defend, and promote the rights, status, and cultural heritage of Indigenous Monarchies throughout the world. Its establishment reflects a collective response to the enduring consequences of colonisation and its legacy, which profoundly affected Indigenous nations by undermining their sovereignty, dispossessing them of their territories, and disrupting their political, cultural, spiritual, and economic institutions. The founders recognise that these historical injustices were often facilitated by colonial and Papal doctrines and imperial expansion, the effects of which continue to be felt by Indigenous peoples today.

WHAT ARE INDIGENOUS MONARCHIES?
Indigenous monarchies unlike their European counterparts have indigenous roots, their subjects are indigenous. Many existed long before European monarchies were formed.
Following the advent of colonial invasion of indigenous nations' ancestral territories from the mid 16th century to the 19th century legitimised by Papal bulls (laws) many indigenous monarchies were subject to colonial interference intended to either remove those monarchies or to control them by installing a puppet Sovereign of their own choosing. This was a strategy to gain control of their territories and the natural resources which they contained. European Sovereigns wished to profit from the exploitation of these resources. in addition they wished to control the indigenous territories as strategic geographical locations for trade, commerce and national defense.
Indigenous monarchies exist across the globe, each having a unique history, culture, traditions and identity, which for many have taken hundreds of years to evolve into the rich and deeply symbolic traditions and their institutions which we see today.
​
Many indigenous monarchies no longer retain ownership of their original sovereign territories due to colonial entities acquiring them either through illegal military force or through treaty agreements often made under duress.
​
As such indigenous monarchies usually are not members of the United Nations, they are not permitted to be admitted as members presently under the laws of the United Nations and applicable international legal instruments.
​
These laws were created without the participation of indigenous peoples and their monarchies or other sovereign indigenous leaders as heads of state following the era of colonisation and the establishment of the League of Nations and later the United Nations by European States, many of whom had historically participated in colonial exploitation and expropriation of sovereign indigenous territories..
