Extractions: UNITED OUTCRY AGAINST MINING GREENWASH I ndigenous peoples, mine-affected local communities and major organisations of civil society decried today the partnership forged by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) as a cynical greenwash of the mining industry. "ItÕs a contradiction for the ICMM, whose mining industry members have systematically engaged in the rape of the Mother Earth to have suddenly changed heart to implement best management practices to protect biodiversity. By nature of its technology, mining is unsustainable. The mining industry has a poor record of community accountability and in many parts of the world is socially unacceptable", said Tom Goldtooth of the Indigenous Environmental Network. Mining has left a legacy of impoverished communities and environmental despoliation. "Entering a partnership on Mining and Biodiversity with the World Conservation Union, while marginalizing indigenous peoples and local communities, who are most severely impacted, is a gross cynicism and non-accountability on the part of these global organisations" said Joji Carino of Tebtebba Foundation, the Indigenous Peoples International Centre for Policy-Research and Education. A global coalition of indigenous peoples' organisations, mine-affected communities and civil society organisations called today for:

When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people's dream died there. It was a beautiful dream... "The nation's hoop is broken and scattered. There is no center any longer, and the sacred tree is dead."

Extractions: Indigenous peoples in territories subjected to European conquest dating from the late 15th century onward have managed to focus national and international attention on their subjugation and dispossession. These various movements, primarily concentrated in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South America, and the United States, began in different places at different times over the past several decades. In New Zealand there was a single treaty between the British Crown and the Maori peoples. The Treaty of Waitangi, signed by the ranking British officer in New Zealand and 500 different Maori chiefs during 1840, became the primary instrument of dispossession of Maori. The Australian immigrants from England saw no reason for treaties since the Aborigines were assumed not to have title to the lands taken from them. In North America, the governments of Canada and the United States negotiated a large number of separate treaties with the many distinct Indian tribes as the Europeans flooded in. Some of these treaties entailed the payment of nominal sums of money for land and other assets. As in New Zealand, the North American treaties were not based on the existence of native title but arose, instead, from the presumption of possession.

News By Richard Tardif Published: Tuesday, July 8, 2003 Last summer's United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), for the first time in UN history, adopted the unqualified term "indigenous peoples" in its official political declaration. Tauli-Corpus added, "It was hoped that with this historical advancement, this respect would be reflected in the implementation of the Plan of Action of the WSSD (which is still not ready). We expect governments, UN Agencies and corporations to give the respect that indigenous peoples deserve in all future consultations, relationships, partnerships and negotiations."
Extractions: 15 February 1992. Article 1. We, the indigenous-tribal peoples of the tropical forests, present this charter as a response to hundreds of years of continual encroachment and colonisation of our territories and the undermining of our lives, livelihoods and cultures caused by the destruction of the forests that our survival depends on. Article 2. We declare that we are the original peoples, the rightful owners and the cultures that defend the tropical forests of the world. Article 3. Our territories and forests are to us more than an economic resource. For us, they are life itself and have an integral and spiritual value for our communities. They are fundamental to our social, cultural, spiritual, economic and political survival as distinct peoples. Article 4.
Indigenous: To Capitalize Or Not Native when referring to indigenous peoples using that http//www.tmvcna.org/ indigenous Cultural Advocacy dan J. Ncayiyana Vice Chancellor, Durban Institute http://www.wame.org/indigenous.htm
Extractions: My 2 cents: if indigenous is being used in a generic sense (eg: ".... of Indigenous peoples when compared to immigrant populations...") then no capitalisation. If it being used as a shorthand or collective descriptor for a particular cultural group ("kidney disease in Indigenous Austalians is ...") then capitalisation as a mark of respect is appropriate. Indigenous people of different tribes or groupings often prefer to have that respect conferred via capitalisation. The same applies to "aboriginal" vs "Aboriginal". If anyone disagrees, then I invite them to consider not capitalising "greek" or "briton" or "japanese". Simon Chapman

Extractions: Indigenous peoples and the global Environmental Agenda ISSN 1024-0217 The 50 million indigenous tropical forest peoples comprise less than I % of the world population. Yet, they constitute the human majority in 'areas of high biodiversity'. They were there long before the creation of nation-states but, as second-rate citizens, these forest peoples rarely have land and property rights. They endorse similar aims as the Convention on Biodiversity, which emerged from the Rio Earth Summit 1992: the conservation, sustainable use and profit sharing of biodiversity. But, all this must also include the implementation of indigenous property rights. Presently, the indigenous peoples have no voice and might suffer even more, since the Convention really is an agreement between states. Once they realised that their contribution to the Earth Summit would be quite modest indeed, they established The International Alliance of Indigenous Tribal Peoples of the Tropical Forest. The Alliance's views on Indigenous property rights, forests and biodiversity is eloquently expressed in this book, which was written in collaboration with the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) in Copenhagen.

Extractions: Greek sailors and traders seem to have traveled along the Kenyan coast by the 4th century AD, and these were followed by Arab, Persian, Indian, Indonesian and Chinese merchants. The Arabs built large settlements at Mombasa and Malindi along the coast, and it was the merging of African and Arab peoples and cultures along the coast that gave rise to the Swahili language and culture. The slave trade and the ivory trade formed the major commerce with the world beyond eastern Africa. The Portuguese briefly sought to establish a foothold at Mombasa, but the Arabs drove them out, and subsequently took control over the interior slave trade from the Kamba people. In the end, British intransigence and military advantage proved futile. The political, social and economic tides were turning towards independence throughout the world, even within Britain itself. In 1963, after three years of transitional government, Kenya became an independent state. At its head was its newly elected president, Jomo Kenyatta, who had long been a dominant figure in Kenyan politics. The new government, under President Mwai Kibaki, represents new hope for the Kenyan people. It also faces challenges greater than any Kenyan government that has gone before it. On top of the long-standing problems mentioned above, the AIDS epidemic is now taking an enormous human toll, and the years of governmental corruption and neglect have left most aspects of Kenya, including its educational system, in very poor condition. However, the new government is determined to tackle these challenges, and, for the first time in decades, Kenya has an opportunity to move freely forward.

Extractions: C OMMENTARY Under established principles of international law, all peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right, peoples may determine their political, economic and social status and relations, free from external or colonial domination. From the time that these principles were firmly established in current legal instruments, following WWII, state actors have attempted to monopolize the definition of "peoples," limiting the enjoyment of self-determination to those states which managed to become independent by the time of the decolonization of Africa and Asia from European invaders. However, for the past 20 years or so, indigenous peoples, who have generally been excluded from the application of the right to self-determination, have been attempting to find inclusion within those principles. In the last year, a strong backlash has developed in denial of the claims of indigenous and other nation peoples from inclusion. This attack is against the continued application of self-determination as an instrument to achieve decolonization in any context relevant to the conditions of the present moment. One of the more widely debated recent arguments against self-determination comes from renowned political sociologist Amitai Etzioni, in the Winter (1992-93) issue of Foreign Policy . In a new book
