Agreement of the Oba Oriatés of South Florida

This agreement is, in essence, a response to the actions of a specific group of followers of Yoruba Traditional Religion and is in no way directed at any particular group on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality or gender. This is a religious issue—no more, no less—that arose because of the actions taken by this particular group—the re-ordination Lukumí olorishas—that we as a legitimate and established community consider a disrespectful affront to our religious heritage and our historical significance in the Diaspora.
