Allow us to also draw your attention to the fact that Indigenous peoples worldwide (1) want the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues to have a Separate Secretariat; and (2) want the Secretariat of the Permanent Forum to be staffed by qualified Indigenous persons. Financing of the activities of the Permanent Forum: The success of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues depends very much on the financial arrangements for its activities. We hold the view, that it is crucial that the General Assembly, through the Regular Budget of the UN, provide the necessary financial resources for the functioning of the Forum, including the establishment of a separate secretariat. Moreover, we strongly encourage governments to support the functioning of the Permanent Forum through voluntary financial contributions.

Resources I. Introduction Who are Indigenous Peoples? People who inhabited a land before it was conquered by colonial societies and who consider themselves distinct from the societies currently governing those territories are called Indigenous Peoples. As defined by the United Nations Special Rapporteur to the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities, Indigenous communities, peoples and nations are (Martinez-Cobo, 1984) self-determination ; based on their respect for the earth. Despite such extensive diversity in Indigenous communities throughout the world, all Indigenous Peoples have one thing in common - they all share a history of injustice. Indigenous Peoples have been killed, tortured and enslaved. In many cases, they have been the victims of genocide. They have been denied the right to participate in governing processes of the current state systems. Conquest and colonization have attempted to steal their dignity and identity as indigenous peoples, as well as the fundamental right of

Defining 'Indigenous Peoples' "There is no hard and fast distinction between indigenous peoples and other kinds of localized ethnic groups. Who then are the peoples generally considered as 'indigenous'?" David Maybury-Lewis, Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State NativeWeb strives to provide quality content by and about indigenous peoples around the world. This means that we examine suggested site links to determine whether and how they relate to indigenous peoples. The difference between 'indigenous peoples' and 'ethnic groups' or 'minority groups' is sometimes difficult to determine. NativeWeb generally tries to err on the side of inclusion in deciding whether a suggested site is suitable for the database. Nevertheless, NativeWeb must respect some limits to maintain integrity and coherence. We have found that there is a spectrum ranging from sites directly related to peoples who have the distinction of living in their own lands since 'time immemorial' [indigenous peoples] to sites that relate to groups whose only distinction is that they are marginalized in the countries where they live [minority groups]. The former we generally include; the latter we generally reject. In the middle of this spectrum are a variety of sites that require careful analysis to decide whether they are proper to include in NativeWeb. The fact that a site relates to people who are ethnically or culturally different from the 'mainstream' of the country where they live does not necessarily mean the site relates to 'indigenous peoples.'

Delivering the message of Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Angela King, Assistant Secretary-General and Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women, noted that indigenous people were still denied their cultural identities, displaced from traditional lands, and more likely than others to suffer extreme poverty. Indigenous issues must become an integral part of the United Nations daily work, she stressed, and efforts to reach the Millennium Goals must fully include indigenous people.  Legal standards, including the draft declaration on indigenous rights, were vital, since they could stimulate advances in national laws.

General Essay on the Religions of Sub-Saharan Africa Religion in Sub-Saharan Africa has changed and evolved over the last two to three thousand years in many different ways. While the traditions depicted in this chart provide examples of those that exist today, and that were affected by the expansion of European colonialism in the 19th century, peoples living in the vast area south of the Sahara desert had already sustained rich systems of belief and practice long before the arrival of Christianity and colonialism, and certainly in some cases befroe the Muslim expansion from the Arabian peninsula. Islam entered Sub-Saharan Africa in the eighth century, and within six hundred years of the prophet's death had penetrated from the Sahara to the Sudanic belt, and from the Atlantic to the Red Sea, making its presence felt among the indigenous peoples who inhabited this expanse. Other transplanted religions have had virtually no impact upon Sub-Saharan traditions. With the exception of Judaism, these did not make any permanent incursion into the region until the 19th or 20th centuries. The chart suggests three wide areas of religious beliefs and practices: (I) Indigenous African religions; (II) World Religions (Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Sikhism and Zorastrianism); (III) New Religious Traditions (African Independent Churches).

20. Establishment Of A Permanent Forum At The United Nations at the recently concluded 24th Special Session of the general Assembly entitled Cecil Le Fleur IPACC (indigenous peoples’ of africa Coordinating Committee http://www.dialoguebetweennations.com/timeimmemorial/english/process.asp

ESPANOL PUSH open the official door to the House of Mica, the United Nations, walk with pride, welcomed by the international community There is a long history of Indigenous leaders knocking on the doors of the United Nations, yet there are virtually no mechanisms allowing participation in formal decision-making. The need for the establishment of a Permanent Forum within the United Nations system, which would permit direct representation of Indigenous Peoples, nations and communities is currently under debate. Opening Statement by Mary Robinson United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Open-ended Working Group on the Permanent Forum for Indigenous People, Geneva, 14 February 2000, Palais des Nations Room 17 RECOGNITION OF INDIGENOUS DIPLOMACY A Permanent Forum is about accountability: the economic, social and political will of member states of the United Nations to develop meaningful relationships with Indigenous Peoples: through transparent dialogue between leaders, through an appreciation of different approaches to governance, through actions effectively addressed within the General Assembly and the full range of activities within the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), through a respect of rights, ancient traditions, and peacemaking procedures residing within a collective framework of kinship. Can the family of nations commit to a partnership that can implement concrete strategies ensuring the survival of Indigenous Peoples? Is a Permanent Forum achievable within the United Nations system?
