Extractions: Africa: Impacts of Protected Areas on Indigenous Peoples It is now well-documented how indigenous communities face serious discrimination from their societies, are exploited by others, and possess little protection for their resource rights upon which they rely to secure their livelihoods. Many of these groups also live in areas where local, national and international conservation organisations maintain strong interests. New conservation principles for conservation projects affecting indigenous communities were therefore approved by the World Conservation Congress in 1992, setting out standards and implementing guidelines promoted by the World Commission on Protected Areas, WWF and the IUCN. Key concepts embodied in these principles, include: - A recognition of indigenous peoples property rights based upon traditional occupation and use, as recognised through the African Charter on Human Rights. Forest Peoples Project (FPP) is reaching the end of almost three years of collaborative work to document the impact of conservation areas on the lives of indigenous peoples from seven African countries, which completes a suite of collaborative projects carried out by FPP in Latin American and Asia since 1997.

Extractions: GLOSSARY Q: WHO ARE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE? A: Tropical rainforests are bursting with life. Not only do millions of species of plants and animals live in rainforests, but many people also call the rainforest their home. In fact, Indigenous, or native, people have lived in rainforests for thousands of years. In North and South America they were mistakenly named Indians by Christopher Columbus, who thought that he had landed in Indonesia, then called the East Indies. Q: IN GENERAL, HOW DO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE LIVE? A: Although many Indigenous people live much like we do, some still live as their ancestors did many years before them. These groups organize their daily lives differently than our culture. Everything they need to survive, from food to medicines to clothing, comes from the forest. FOOD Besides hunting, gathering wild fruits and nuts and fishing, Indigenous people also plant small gardens for other sources of food, using a sustainable farming method called shifting cultivation. First they first clear a small area of land and burn it. Then they plant many types of plants, to be used for food and medicines. After a few years, the soil has become too poor to allow for more crops to grow and weeds start to take over. So they then move to a nearby uncleared area. This land is traditionally allowed to regrow for 10-50 years before it is farmed again.

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.

Extractions: Clear Light Publishers, 1994, 176 pages In their own way, each of the book's sections shed light on the global nature of the plight facing indigenous people: the disappearance of diversity and traditional ways of life, ecological degradation, repression of native rights movements, and the loss of vital knowledge about how to live in harmony with the environment. The statements made by the nineteen indigenous representatives describe these issues with examples drawn from their own cultures. Anderson Muutang Urud of the Kelabit tribe of Sarawak, Malaysia, points out that his people have lost their native forest lands to logging companies. "Our lives are threatened by company goons," he says. "Our women are being raped by loggers who invade our villages. While the companies get rich from our forests, we are condemned to live in poverty and eventual genocide." Davi Yanomami of the Yanomami tribe of the Amazon Valley describes the invasion of garimpeiros (gold miners) who not only ravage their lands but exploit his people and spread disease. Thomas Banyacya, a Native American Hopi elder, talks about the costs to his people of the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974 which mandated the removal of Navajos and Hopis from their native lands, ostensibly to resolve conflicting claims to land between the two groups, but largely as a result of pressure by mining and energy industries.

Extractions: Click on the RUSH icon to find our more about this ultimate adventure! South Africa was colonized by the Dutch when they arrived at the Cape in 1652, and British settlers soon followed. The white population built the infrastructure and economy by exploiting the black (non-white) community, denying their human rights and preventing their participation in government. This trend persisted, despite the disparity in ethnic demographics. Today South Africa has a population of approximately 41 million, only 5 million of whom belong to the white community originating from European immigrants. The majority of the population (31 million) comprises twelve indigenous peoples, while people of mixed racial descent account for 3.5 million, and an Indian population accounts for another million. In 1961, South Africa broke away from the British and the colony became a republic under the Afrikaans government. A powerful Apartheid army and police force attempted to maintain the status quo and destabilize neighboring countries. The African National Congress (ANC) and other black political movements were banned and their leaders were incarcerated, murdered or exiled. by the mid-eighties, South Africa found itself ostracized from the world community. The sanctions imposed had devastating effects on the economy, resulting in extreme poverty for the majority of the 31 million black South Africans.

Extractions: Introduction Remarks JOANNE BAUER : Welcome to the Carnegie Council. My name is Joanne Bauer and Im the director of studies here and I also founded the Human Rights Initiative about ten years ago. The bulk of the work that we do is to produce a publication called Human Rights Dialogue , which is available for free download on the Council's Web site. Were currently in the midst of working on an issue on environmental rights, which has a great deal of overlap with our speaker today. And we also have an interest in pursuing cultural rights, which is a subject that is rather obscure to most people. The human rights community is becoming more and more conversant in human economic and social rights, as they have long been in civil and political rights, but cultural rights is still new territory. Indigenous rights relate very closely to these two areas. Our guest, John Scott, focuses on a human rights-based approach to social justice for aboriginal and indigenous peoples. He has worked as a high school teacher, an aboriginal educational advisor, an indigenous policy officer, a university lecturer, and a senior manager at the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission. He has a particular interest in biodiversity and the protection of traditional knowledge.

Extractions: Odin Government Ministries Archive ... Norway 2005 Centennial Speech at Forum for Development Cooperation with Indigenous Peoples Ladies and gentlemen. Dear friends. This Forum was established as a follow-up of an evaluation of the Norwegian Program for Indigenous Peoples. The evaluation report pointed out the need for a forum where Norwegian and international institutions could meet to discuss development issues relating to indigenous peoples. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed to this recommendation. It found that a forum where Norwegian institutions dealing with indigenous issues might share their experiences with similar non-Norwegian institutions, also would strengthen the quality of Norwegian development assistance. The Norwegian development program for indigenous peoples was started in 1983. The program, which probably was the first of its kind, has a mandate "to strengthen the capacity and ability of indigenous peoples to shape and control their own development". Technical and financial assistance has been offered for projects in the area of human rights, health, culture and education. In addition institution building and networking have been emphasized. The evaluation of the Norwegian program found it relevant to the needs of indigenous peoples. Several projects had had a major impact on the situation of indigenous peoples in various countries. Projects under the program had led to a higher degree of organization building amongst indigenous peoples, including among indigenous women.

Extractions: Special Report for Rio+5 Process The World Council of Indigenous Peoples - Conrado Jorge Valiente The following report on Indigenous Peoples and Global Governance has been put together with great effort. A literature search was done, as were consultations with Indigenous experts in different parts of the world. A primary aim was to highlight the process open to Indigenous Peoples to participate in different activities of the international arena and, especially, to call attention to those aspects that continue to be a priority for our Peoples. Towards this end, the intent is also to open discussion on ethical issues which are important to consider relating to the lands and territories of Indigenous Peoples. These include issues surrounding the exploration for and extraction of natural resources and, in particular, investment and development activities known as mega-projects. We consider this work part of the discussions which have been on-going among different sectors of civil society, Indigenous Peoples and Governments. The intent is that this work will help to increase comprehension and perception regarding the hopes and contributions of Indigenous Peoples and the global process to restore the health of the land.

The extraordinary session was to reaffirm President Habibie=92s present tenure as head of state and the general elections in 1999. The students and people were out on the streets everyday in the last few months and their protests intensified from 9th to 12th of November, to demand accountability of former President Suharto and an investigation into his wealth; the ending of the dual-function of the military; and an independent Election Commission for the upcoming elections. However, the peaceful demonstrations by the students and the people were brutally suppressed by the Indonesian military using sticks, tear gas, bullets and tanks. The Malaysian newspapers claim nine students died and over a hundred were injured. Sources in Indonesia, confirm that another person from Tangerang (district area border in Jakarta), one police and one student from Bandung Technology Institute have also died. Three students from Jakarta remain in critical condition in the hospital and there were three journalists whose legs were broken.
