The Avatar Myths Strategy refers to the growing conflicts in remote areas of emerging markets —e.g. the Peruvian Amazon and the Andes as well as Africa and India— principally over control of oil, gas, and mining activities as well as large tracts of agricultural land.

The conflicts are typically between local, poor or indigenous communities with informal customary rights to their land and formal investment companies with government concessions to exploit the value of the natural resources available there. (See also: The Blockchain, Bitcoin, & Property Rights Project)

This new strategy of the ILD's property paradigm includes a series of steps that will allow us to assist governments faced with such conflicts to standardize indigenous and informal agreements, maps, titles, and other varieties of informal documentation and symbols in such a way that these peoples can work within the market and defend their interests —without losing their customs or identity.
