Description

First off, I would like to say that Decentraland has been an amazing experience, but I would like to point out the lack of indigenous peoples on this platform. As you all know, the indigenous community has been marginalized IRL, and I for one, as I am sure many of you, do NOT want to see that continue in the new world we are creating in the Metaverse. To help right this injustice, I am starting a campaign to reach out to these indigenous communities and help them join Decentraland.

To facilitate this outreach, we must create a safe space where the indigenous community members feel at home and provide the appropriate attire (wearables) for them. I am requesting funding in MANA to fund this noble endeavor. As you know, the natives like to run free and require a lot of land to do so, so we need a large space, probably at least 2x2. (We will need more later!) Additionally, we will require enough MANA to mint at least 5 different wearables to represent the tribal culture and traditions. We are going to start small, but hopefully grow quickly once the natives arrive. Initially, we will prepare for 100 natives to join our community, and I will be responsible for minting names for each tribal member and helping to acclimate them to out global community.

Below is the small budget that we require to start our project.

Funding Allocation

2 x 2 Estate = 20,000 MANA 5 Wearables = $500 USD / $0.3 USD per MANA = 1666.67 MANA 100 Names = 100 x 100 MANA = 10000 MANA Management for Tribal Affairs = 2000 MANA per month x 3 months = 6000 MANA

For the small sum of 37666.67, we can help to engage the indigenous community and provide them a warm welcome in Decentraland!

Thank you all and many blessings! Hameke-Burem!
