Extractions: by Lucy Y. Her, StarTribune staff reporter As a boy, Daniel Cheng Yang would ask his father to tell him stories about life in Laos. The 8-year-old would sit across from his father and listen to what it was like to live in the jungle, running and hiding from the Laotian government after the Vietnam War. Like many Hmong, Daniel's father had fought for U.S. forces against Communists in Laos during the war. William Yang eventually made his way to a refugee camp in Thailand. "In the camp, you have no hope, you have no future," his father told him. The stories stayed with Daniel, of St. Paul, and they shaped him into an 18-year-old who's so committed to shedding light on the plight of refugees and other struggling people that he traveled to Africa several times by himself, even taking some time off school, to document their conditions. Such is the focus of his book, "Kakuma Turkana Dueling Struggles: Africa's Forgotten Peoples," which will be published in August. The book is a compilation of 75 black-and-white photos of the Turkana people of remote northwestern Kenya and of refugees who live nearby in the Kakuma Refugee Camp. In each photo, Daniel shows how the Turkanas' way of life is surviving despite the influx of more than 81,000 refugees from war-torn Sudan and Uganda. The camp, which was opened in 1992, is bringing in people whose cultures clash with the Turkana and who are competing for scarce resources, such as water and land.

It is a tribute to those portrayed here, both the refugees at Kakuma Camp and the indigenous peoples of Turkana. FROM THE DUST JACKET Daniels photographs bring awareness to an enormous suffering, sustained in dignity by these amazing people. I pray his passion influences a new generation to demand social and political change. OLIVER STONE is an Academy Award-winning filmmaker who has garnered critical acclaim for his wide-ranging films of social commentary. He first met Dan in August 2000 at Kakuma Refugee Camp. From a personal level, I am drawn to Dannys work as our family lived in Kenya while I was a young girl and its people hold a special place in my heart. Dannys photographs stand alone, however, and tell an important story. His powerful images bridge us as humans. The depth of the pictures pushes us beyond the expected differences and transports us to the unexpected-to our very humanness.

Extractions: SABER AZAM United Nations Peacekeeping Operations O ne of the oldest civilizations on Earth, the indigenous peoples of Turkana have lived isolated in Kenyas remote northwest for thousands of years. Existing in the tormented, civil war-torn heart of the continent, their way of life is now threatened by the added pressure of Kakuma Refugee Camp. Families from Sudan and East Africa, fleeing violence in their homelands, have sought sanctuary here since 1992. The dueling struggles for the sparse resources of this unforgiving region touched author and photographer Daniel Cheng Yang. With passion, dedication and compassion, he conveys the harsh reality of refugee life in his imagerythe plight of the over 40 million refugees in the world todayand the conflict between ancient traditional and contemporary civilizations. A powerful, moving documentary of forgotten peoples, Daniels work has gained international attention for its depth of human expression and been shown in Paris at the Louvre, as well as in New York and Yokohama. At the authors request, a portion of book proceeds will go to fund food and supplies for the more than 81,000 refugees at Kakuma.

This paper looks at the role of stakeholders in determining the success of forest resource conservation. It shows that local communities should really be involved in forest resource management by highlighting some case studies. This prompted concerned conservationists and scientists to make an effort to enhance protection of the forests, leading to them being declared as protected as National Monuments.

Indigenous Peoples, including the Maasai, Samburu, Turkana and Somali, make up a significant part of the population. In Kenya, as in the rest of Africa, Indigenous Peoples distinguish themselves not based on their ancestry but on their present-day position as Peoples who maintain traditional pastoral and nomadic cultures and who, as a result, are socially and economically marginalized. Control over land is also a contentious issue within Indigenous communities. Indigenous women in pastoralist communities traditionally have no rights to property and, as a result, are more vulnerable to poverty and gender-based violence. In Kenya overall, only five percent of land is owned by women and eighty percent of women-headed families live in poverty.

Extractions: A FRICA At the 1993 meeting of the UNWGIP and also at the 1993 Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, the MDA articulated the major problems that currently threaten Maasai culture and identity. The delegation presented testimony describing the ecological degradation of Maasailand, the lack of adequate educational facilities, Maasai displacement at the hands of competing peoples, and the misappropriation of funds earmarked for indigenous development projects. Foremost among the MDA's concerns is the desire to recover lands in Kenya's Rift Valley Province, which were lost through dispossession over the past century. Because Maasai culture is inextricably bound to the land, their concern is understandable; dispossession of territory threatens to obliterate their culture. In addition to its fear of increasing landlessness, the MDA explains that the Maasai have also been unable to achieve compensation for lands already taken from them. In particular, a great part of Maasailand was set aside for game reserves and national parks to expand Kenya's tourist economy, but to date, the Maasai have not benefitted from that development. Instead, they now face losing more land, as non-indigenous people attempt to buy it (or otherwise take it) from them. And while encroachment disrupts the cultural integrity of the Maasai, unsound farming methods used by non-indigenous peoples further upset the delicate ecological balance of the Rift Valley. The MDA claims that the unrestrained use of the herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers has polluted water sources in grazing areas.
