    Extractions: The Khanty is the people of Western Siberia living in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomus Okrug (11.9 thousand. - 52.8 %), Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (7.2 thousand - 32.2 %) and the Tomsk Region (804 thousand - 3.6 %). (Fig. 1). Fig. 1. The area of the distribution and economic activities of the Khanty. According to the 1989 Census, the population is 22.5 thousand. The native names are Khanti Khande Kantek . The Khany fall into three ethnic groups (northern, southern and eastern), which differ in the dialects, native names, features of economy and culture, and also endogamy. In their turn, each of them divides into territorial subgroups, distinguished by the names of the rivers in whose basins they live. Before the early 20 th century, the Russian called the Khanty Ostyaki . Jointly with the Mansi and Hungarians, the Khanty language comprises the Ugric groups of the Finno-Ugric languages. The Khanty language has three dialect groups: the northern, southern, and eastern. The Khanty vocabulary reflects its close links with the neighbors: the Nenets, Tatars and Komi-Zyran.

23. Mansi
    Overview article from RAIPON (russian Association of indigenous peoples of the North).  
    http://www.raipon.org/Web_Database/mansi.html
    
    Extractions: Mansi (self-name - man) is a people in Western Siberia, the indigenous population of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. (6.6 thousand). The Mansi are mostly distributed there over the right tributaries of the Ob River (Fig. 1) Fig. 1. The area of the distribution and economic activities of the Mansi A small group lives in the Sverdlovsk Region in the Ivdel River near Tagil. The Mansi number in the Russian Federation is 8.3 thousand. Scientific literature treats the Mansi together with the Khanty as Ob Ugrians. Before the beginning of the 20 th century, the Russians called the Mansi the Vogul or Ostyak . Anthropologically, the Mansi are the Sub-Uralic or Uralic proper types of the Uralic transition race. The Mansi language belongs to the Ugric subgroup of Finno-Ugric languages of the Uralic family. There are seven dialects, whose divergence is so great as to prevent mutual understanding. Since 1930, the writing has been based on the Middle-Sosva dialect and the Russian alphabet. The following ethnic groups are distinguished: the northern (Sosva and Upper-Lozva dialects), southern or Tavda, eastern (Kondinsky dialect), Western (Kondinsky dialect), Western (Pelym, Vagil, Lower Lozva and Upper Lozva dialects). The Mansi was claimed to their native language by 3.1 thousand people. As ethnos, the Mansi evolved as a result of the merger of the tribes of the Uralic Neolithic culture with Ugric and Indo-Iranian tribes, which migrated in the 2 - 1 millennia B. C. from the south to the steppes and forest-steppes, of Western Siberia and Northern Kazakhstan. The combination of the cultures of taiga hunters and fishermen and steppe nomadic pastoralists in the Mansi culture has been retained. It is most vividly manifested in the cult of the horse and the celestial horseman

    Extractions: Continuities between contemporary thinking and discussion about indigenous peoples in Russia and historic perceptions of these peoples include: A perception of the indigenous population as a special entity and, as such, as a special object of national, economic, cultural, linguistic and religious policy. Public perceptions of racial difference, especially those of non-permanent populations of the Russian and Siberian North, stemming from the inorodtsy (aliens) notion expressed today by derogatory names, stories and attitudes. This topology in perceiving indigenous peoples allows me to reconstruct what it means to be categorically different in the standard thinking of an average Russian industrial center inhabitant. It means to be born and to live in remote rural areas; speak a different (non-Russian) language; to be a member of a different (non-Orthodox) confession; to have other values, lifestyles, cultures, professions (that are not typical for urban areas); to be poorly educated and to have different needs and interests. This distorted perception makes it possible for Russian elites to decide destinies of others categorically different than themselves and effectively nullifies the rationality of projects aimed at improving the life of indigenous peoples.

Old states fall apart and new ones come into being. In recent years, Czechoslovakia divided into two states, while Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union collapsed into many smaller states. What moves people to claim the right to form a new state, and what leads to a successful outcome (i.e. independence)? In a globalizing world, with decreasing national sovereignty and closer ties between people everywhere, what is the attraction of forming another independent state? Repressive governments, denying minority populations their rights, seem to be the main impetus for independence movements. But once independence is gained, the good life does not necessarily begin. Other minorities may, in turn, be disregarded or oppressed in the new emerging state. Analysis Links

Very significantly, the preparatory committee of the World Summit for the Information Society has decided to devote one of the formal pre-Summit events to the theme “indigenous peoples and the information society”. The event (the Global Forum on Indigenous Peoples and the Information Society) will take place from 8 to 11 December 2003. The World Summit on the Information Society will take place from 9-12 December 2003. The timeframe of the two events have been slightly staggered to allow indigenous peoples access to both events.

    Extractions: Falls Church, Virginia Abstract 1. Introduction In his famous dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. U.S., 277 U.S. 438 (1928) , Justice Louis Brandeis called the right to be let alone "the most comprehensive of rights and the right most cherished by civilized men." Justice Brandeis's ruling could just as easily apply to the right of indigenous peoples to be let alone from intrusive central government "development" and surveillance programs. The increasing use of satellites to survey lands and oceans for natural resources comes at the expense of many indigenous peoples to freely conduct various activities on their ancestral lands. Many indigenous tribes maintain a certain kinship with the territory upon which they live. This kinship runs deep and in some cases has an important religious significance for the people concerned. 2. Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and Indigenous Lands Indian leaders contend that those who operate GISs must be sensitive to the traditions surrounding their lands. Many Indian tribes feel that certain data must remain private and not be released to the general public. Data security and privacy controls therefore become problematic. Tribal officials such as the Colville Confederacy leadership feel that certain data cannot be treated as regular data. Information on hunting and gathering areas has a spiritual significance for the Indians that is perhaps unappreciated by statisticians in cold, gray and distant computer rooms (Marchand and Winchell, 1994, 51).

    Extractions: This topology in perceiving indigenous peoples allows me to reconstruct what it means to be categorically different in the standard thinking of an average Russian industrial center inhabitant.

This distorted perception makes it possible for Russian elites to decide destinies of others categorically different than themselves and effectively nullifies the rationality of projects aimed at improving the life of indigenous peoples. Russian Legislation This definition contradicts the established international approach to delineating an indigenous peoples category (as outlined in the International Labour Organisation Convention 169) since it is based primarily on political and numerical criteria rather than the special needs and interests of such groups and their denial to be integrated into mainstream culture. Many identified by Russian law as indigenous small-numbered peoples (see those listed in the table) are actually well integrated and settled groups with market-oriented economies and other characteristics very similar to mainstream Russian culture.

Through small grants, the Grants Facility will support projects that include Indigenous Peoples in development operations, improve their access to key decision-makers, empower them to find solutions to the challenges they face, and promote collaboration in the public and private spheres. Proposals must directly benefit Indigenous Peoples in a culturally appropriate, sustainable, and gender inclusive manner and address issues central to Indigenous Peoples’ aspirations. Examples of the type of projects supported by the Grants Facility are innovative pilot projects that build on indigenous culture, identity, knowledge, natural resources, intellectual property and human rights, and/or institutions.

    Extractions: "Rossiyskiy Sever", the Russian North, extends across a distance of 6000 km from the Finnish and Norwegian boundary through the Urals and Siberia to the Bering Strait and the Pacific Ocean. It covers vast areas of taiga (boreal forests), tundra (treeless swamps and pasture lands), and polar deserts. The north-south extension of this belt widens from about 1000 km in Europe to about 3000 km in central Siberia and the Russian Far East. Approximately 20 million people live in this land, mainly concentrated in towns and settlements along the rivers and in the industrial centres. Only about 180,000 of them belong to approximately 30 small-numbered, aboriginal groups - the indigenous peoples of the North. Their majority live in small villages close to their subsistence areas, where they pursue traditional occupations like reindeer-herding, hunting and fishing. But the reality these people face today is anything but an idyllic carryover from the past. Since the colonisation of the North, large expanses have gradually been converted into areas for alien settlement, transportation routes, industry, forestry, mining and oil production, and have been devastated by pollution, irresponsibly managed oil and mineral prospecting, and military activity.
