Extractions: It has been very interesting seeing the view of the US and the pending war in Iraq from the standpoint of a part of the world, which in part is Muslim and everywhere will be adversely affected by the war. In Jakarta while we were doing village site visits, tens of thousands demonstrated for peace in Jakarta. The Sabah and Malaysian papers were full of news how a war would impact their economy- decrease tourism, disrupt the world market and transportation system for the textile trade, and generally cause economic chaos. In the Philippines their is growing resistance to American unilateralism. In today's Philippines Enquirer, the banner headline is that "It is Combat, Not Exercise" for Us troops in Basilan and Zamboanga in the Islamic section of Mindanao to the west.

Upcoming Events UNITED NATIONS GIVE GUIDELINES MOHAWK NAME By Kenneth Deer, easterndoor@axess.com During the latest meeting on the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity here in Montreal, the participants recommended that the guidelines for cultural, environmental and social impact assessment be called the Akwé:kon Guidelines. The meeting, which took place in December, finalized a draft recommendation on guidelines that would help protect Indigenous communities from development that would take place on, or which are likely to impact, sacred sites and lands and waters traditionally occupied or used by Indigenous and local communities. Normally, the United Nations names such documents after the city where they are drafted, such as the Kyoto Accord, Bonn Guidelines on Access to Genetic Resources, or the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, 1989. The participants, many of whom were Indigenous representatives from around the world and government delegates, wanted to give an Indigenous title to the guidelines since they mainly impact Indigenous Peoples. Names were proposed, such as the Kahnawake Guidelines or the Kanienkeh Guidelines, but concern was expressed that consultation with the communities involved had not taken place and it would not be proper to appropriate these names without permission. So other words were considered. Since the Mohawk language can be difficult for the different peoples of the world to pronounce, a simple name was sought.

Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Akka is traditionally a female spirit in Lappish and Finnish mythology Finnish mythology survived as oral tradition well into the 18th century. Based on animistic beliefs, the Finns uphold one of the very few primitive religious traditions in Western Europe, albeit in a secularized form. The rites of the hunt (Peijainen), harvest and sowing etc. may well be held as social events, but the spiritual undercurrent is not totally absent. Although the gradual influence of surrounding cultures raised the significance of the skygod in a monolatristic manner, he was originally just a naturespirit like all the others. The one whose name was never uttered by the Finns was the spirit whose carnal form is known in English as bear. Click the link for more information. The first akka was Maderakka and her daughters were Sarakka Uksakka and Juksakka . Lapps thought they lived under their kota tents. Worship of akka was common, and took the form of sacrifices, pleas for help and various rituals. Sarakka was thought to be especially helpful for pregnant women, and after a birth, a woman would eat a special porridge dedicated to her. Yambe-Akka or Jabme-akko is a Sami The Sami People (there are other names and spellings including Saami Lapp(ish) Lapplanders and Davvin ) are an indigenous people of northernmost Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia. The Sami are one of the largest groups of indigenous peoples in Europe.

Over 200 species of birds call this region home as do the endangered Orang Utan, crocodiles and several other species of monkeys. You will also not want to miss the fascinating Gomantong caves, known for the large caverns that are home to the Black Nest Swiftlet, whose nests are collected and sold to be used in the famous Chinese Birds Nest Soup. These nests are collected by the local people from the ceiling of the caves which can reach a height of 90 metres. The caves are a series of complex tributaries and chambers which also house an estimated 2 million bats. It is quite a site to see them leave the cave at dusk to begin feeding on the plentiful insects of the jungle. Gomantong is one of the most unique cave systems of the world and one of the highlights in any of our Eco Tours.

Extractions: The inclusion of trees within farmland has been a tradition going back through the ages. The trees were typically retained from the natural forests and woodlands that were cleared to make way for crops. To merit retention, they were usually trees that served some useful function, such as the provision of fruits, medicines, fodder and other products. Ethnobotanical knowledge is therefore at the very heart of agroforestry, something we have only realized recently in developing agroforestry as a modern science. In many parts of the world, traditional landuse systems came under pressure as the local population grew rapidly. On the fragile soils of the tropics, it became impossible to practice traditional shifting cultivation because the pressures for land were too great and the tree fallows, which allowed the soil to recover their fertility, had to be shortened. This was the start of a downward spiral of land degradation, which eventually gave birth to modern agroforestry around the middle of the twentieth century.

The opening of General Synod The 36 th General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada opened with an evening service at St. Michael's Church in Waterloo, Ont., when Chancellor Ronald Stevenson announced that a quorum had been achieved in all three houses: bishops, clergy and laity. In his sermon, the Right Rev. Steven Charleston praised the church in Canada for facing squarely and honestly the dilemma posed by history. Bishop Charleston is President and Dean of the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass., but noted that he is also a native "member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma" and said he knows "what is means to build bridges of reconciliation and healing." He said he saw a church "not teetering on the brink of ruin but standing on the edge of glory." The congregation applauded when Bishop Charleston concluded.

It was an epic journey that spanned a continent and provided evidence that ancient South American peoples could have been trading with Africa 1,000 years before Christ. Intrigued first of all by the idea that Plato's Atlantis might have been on a vast Bolivian plain high in the Andes, then fascinated by the notion that pre-Inca people and their trade goods might have found their way down central South America's massive rivers to the Atlantic and even across it, Blashford-Snell commissioned a fleet of traditional reed boats - the largest named Kota Mama - in which to test these theories. He navigated a route, in two phases, from Lake Titicaca to Buenos Aires, which took him and his companions through terrain of stark contrasts: from Bolivia's high Altiplano, through steamy Brazilian rain-forests and the arid thorn scrub of Paraguay's Gran Chaco, and finally to the Argentinian capital where their achievement was widely acknowledged.

Extractions: This sketch refers mostly to the geographical region now divided into the countries of Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Botswana and Tanzania , but will also make brief references to South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique . The area will here be abbreviated as AESA The reason for skimming lightly around so huge an area is that no comprehensive collection of relevant materials has yet been made, nor any adequate overview written. Up to the 1950s, odds and ends have surfaced, e.g. as footnotes to medical histories or anthropologies, and as references to government documents and dusty, crumbling archives. However, the material concerned with disabilities in Iliffe's (1987) history of African poverty shows that there are serious possibilities for retrieving a more substantial depth of disability history.
