Extractions: Mr. Chairman and Distinguished Guests, I am speaking in the spirit of self-determination and in honor of those that have gone on before us, and in honor of those that could not be here, I shall present a summary statement of the Kimberley Political Declaration, that is a result of over 300 Indigenous Peoples worldwide that gathered for a pre-summit at the International Indigenous Peoples Summit on Sustainable Development held within the Khoi-San first tribal peoples' territories in Kimberley, South Africa, 20-23 August 2002. A summary of the Indigenous Political Declaration with some personal comments added is as follows. A complete copy of the Kimberley Political Declaration is attached. We the Indigenous Peoples of the World assembled here reaffirm the Kari-Oca Declaration and the Indigenous Peoples' Earth Charter. We again reaffirm our previous declarations on human and environmental sustainability. Since 1992, the discussions on sustainable development have been intensified, however, the ecosystems of our Mother Earth continue to be degraded increasingly. We are in crisis. We are in an accelerating spiral of climate change that will not abide unsustainable greed.

http://www.firstnations.org/Main/1stpepww.htm

Extractions: To create an Indigenous-controlled international organization that advocates for Indigenous self-governance and assists in the delivery of culturally appropriate economic development. Summary The United Nations estimates that Indigenous peoples number approximately 300 million in more than 70 countries. For example, it is now generally accepted that there are Indigenous peoples in the Americas, Asia, Africa, the South Pacific (including Australia and New Zealand) and parts of Europe. Many of these Indigenous peoples remain isolated from the dominant societies of their own nation states. Many continue to be discriminated against solely as a result of their Indigenous status and unique world view. Many communities are just beginning the long, arduous journey toward self-governance and meaningful economic development and are looking for lessons and models from other Indigenous groups. In the last several years, First Nations Development Institute, a Native American grantmaker and technical assistance organization, has received numerous requests for financial and technical assistance from Indigenous groups in Africa, Australia, Russia and Latin America. These groups want to design and implement their own development projects and programs. They are interested in how "we made it work" and in what we have learned in more than 18 years of trial and error. In response, First Nations Development Institute has developed an international program called First Peoples Worldwide which will eventually spin off into a separate international organization. The goals of FPW are:

Extractions: Forest Peoples Project is the charitable arm of Forest Peoples Programme. Registered UK Charity No. 1082158 Indigenous Peoples and Protected Areas in Africa: From Principles to Practice Conference held in Kigali, Rwanda, 4-7 September 2001 . . . and beyond In Africa one million square kilometres have been designated as conservation areas. Under the classic model of conservation, in which human presence is deemed incompatible with wildlife, local communities have been forcibly removed from conservation areas, resulting in loss of self-respect, culture and access to vital resources, and in social and economic marginalisation as well as impoverishment and destruction of age-old mechanisms for managing natural resources. New internationally-agreed conservation principles have been developed recognising the rights of indigenous peoples to the use, ownership and control of their traditional territories. However, implementation of this approach is lagging behind. The majority of communities affected by conservation continue to suffer impoverishment, lack of access to resources and cultural collapse. As part of a two-year project, funded by the UKs Community Fund, to support a dialogue between African indigenous peoples and conservation bodies, FPP in conjuction with CAURWA (Communauté des Autochtones Rwandais) held an international conference in Kigali in September 2001. This event brought together for the first time representatives of indigenous communities, African conservation managers and staff, and members of indigenous peoples support organisations. The conference provided a forum in which indigenous peoples from seven African countries presented their own case studies documenting the impacts of conservation projects on their lands and livelihoods. The discussion of each of these situations generated new insights into the issues and provided a constructive basis for much-needed future collaboration between affected communities and conservation agencies.

http://www.biowatch.org.za/csir-san.htm

Extractions: By Rachel Wynberg* The CSIR signed a groundbreaking agreement with the San this week that might earn the impoverished group hundreds of millions of rands for the commercialisation of an ancient folk remedy as a blockbuster anti-obesity drug. Ben Ngubane, Minister of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology, announced the agreement at a celebration in the Kalahari on Monday. The deal is one of the first attempts to give holders of traditional knowledge a share of royalties from drug sales. But what does it really mean for the San and indigenous peoples worldwide: business as usual or a fundamentally new way of introducing equity into the marketplace? The appetite suppressant, code-named P57, is derived from a species of Hoodia , a succulent plant indigenous to southern Africa and long used by the San to stave off hunger and thirst. Active constituents of the plant have been patented by the CSIR, which learned of its potential through ethnobotanical publications. In 1998, the CSIR signed a licensing agreement for the further development and commercialisation of the product with Phytopharm, a small British phytomedicine company. Pfizer, the US pharmaceutical giant, then signed a deal with Phytopharm to develop a prescription drug that has a potential of between $1-billion and $8-billion a year. Pfizer will pay Phytopharm royalties for use of the patents and Phytopharm in turn will pay the CSIR. Already, testing of the drug is at an advanced stage in clinical trials.

http://husky1.stmarys.ca/~wmills/course322/1Peoples_of_SA.html

Extractions: - pastoralism gave more control over food supply and somewhat more intensive exploitation allowed denser population and larger political/judicial systems; however, these systems often did not function continuously throughout the year. Annual migrations would bring people together for part of the year; then they would disperse to other grazing grounds for the remainder of the year. Thus, the degree of control and the level of cohesion were limited. - the Khoikhoi were vulnerable to loss of cattle because their way of life and livelihood depended on this; yet cattle were practically the only commodity which they could trade for European goods. As dependencies on these goods grew, loss of cattle left few economic choices except to become labourers for the white settlers.

Extractions: South Africa Africa is home to one of the largest indigenous populations of the estimated 300 to 500 million indigenous people worldwide. From the desert Amazigh (Berbers) of the north to the Forest Peoples (Pygmies) of central Africa and the southern San (Bushmen), African indigenous peoples recognize a common struggle for cultural recognition and protection. Several African countries have now begun real dialogue on indigenous issues. At the United Nations, African aboriginal representation matches, even rivals, that of the other continents, though they first appeared on the UN stage but ten years ago. Their efforts in every area are buoyed by landmark developments such as the African Commission on Human Rights' decision, two years ago, to take indigenous issues up for discussion. Canada is chiefly involved in African indigenous issues at the multilateral level with the United Nations' Working Group on Indigenous Populations and the brand-new Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, though there is much scope for future bilateral cooperation.

Extractions: Indigenous peoples of Africa like the hunter-gatherer San of Southern Africa, the Pygmies of Central Africa and pastoralists like the Maasai and Samburu have lived in harmony with the environment for millenia and exemplify sustainable living. Indigenous peoples inhabit some of the areas of highest biodiversity in the world and their profound knowledge of plants, animals, and the rhythms and cycles of nature needs to inform attitudes and decisions made by conservation and environmental movements, not only locally but worldwide. The main publishers of information and stories about indigenous Africans are foreign researchers and journalists, not the people themselves, and as such the documents are often not accurate. These publications also rarely find their way back to grassroots communities in any form the people can understand, relate to or use. A lot of news about Indigenous People in Africa is sensationalised and focuses on crises like the starving pastoralists of Ethiopia or Pygmies in the Ugandan forests attacking tourists. This tends to paint a negative picture of traditional ways of life in Africa. Yet every day there are also positive stories to be told about almost forgotten indigenous communities bravely fighting to conserve catchments and other sensitive areas from mining, logging, oil drilling, dams, commercial plantations, land invasions, etc.

Search African History Pre-Colonial cultures in South Africa #1 The San and Khoikhoi For several millennia the San lived in peaceful isolation in what is now South Africa until two thousand years ago when the first of several waves of colonists swept into South Africa. Each time a new wave arrived the existing populations were marginalised. In the first of these waves, the pastoralist Khoikhoi moved down into the western and southern coastal regions pushing the hunter-gatherer San inland. Who were the San Of all the peoples of South Africa, only the San are truly indigenous and they have been displaced and victimised by each successive wave of immigrants. Today there are but a few remnants of this once proud people in South Africa (and Botswana), and inevitably theirs is the voice least heard by government. The San were hunter-gatherers. Living in highly mobile groups of between 20 and 50, either following the game around the country and living in close rhythm with the land and its seasons or maintaining a more settled life along the coastal regions and depending on seals, shellfish, crayfish, birds and the occasional beached whale, for food.

Extractions: Indigenous peoples number about 300 million, representing over 5,000 languages. They live in more than 70 countries in all of the world's regions, from the Arctic to the Amazon, from the Sahara to the Pacific Islands. The majority - more than 150 million - live in Asia, in countries such as Bangladesh, Burma, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Around 30 million indigenous peoples live in Latin America. In Bolivia, Guatemala and Peru, indigenous peoples make up over half the population. Their lifestyles provide valuable lessons for the conservation and sustainable consumption of biological resources. Various studies have shown that biological and cultural diversity are intricately linked: it is language that contains and transmits the ecological knowledge accumulated by indigenous people.

Extractions: The purpose of the exchange was to further a dialogue on the issue of land rights, maintenance of knowledge systems, languages and cultures, management of conservation areas and the creation of livelihoods. The focus was on giving grassroots indigenous people an opportunity to meet different communities and reflect on their mutual experiences. In addition, the visit was an opportunity for staff of Norwegian Church Aid and the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-ordinating Committee to look at common themes and methods that can inform their work in Africa. The teams visited the Hadzabe people of the Yaeda Valley in Northern Tanzania for a week and then the Khomani San in North-western South Africa (the southern Kalahari desert). This report provides a summary of the experiences, reflections and learnings from those site visits. There are three parts to the overall report: the main report (this document), a detailed transcript of the discussions in South Africa and reflections after the event from Tanzania. The exchanges were funded with the generous support of Norwegian Church Aid and the Cultural Policies Division of UNESCO.
