Most people in the United States are ignorant of the recent history in these countries or of the effect of the wars on the indigenous peoples. I realized that the wars didn't end at the date when the peace accords were signed. The residue of the wars continued until 1993 when half a million people who had been living in refugee camps in Thailand were repatriated to Laos and Cambodia. And the residue continues today as Cambodians try to cope with 10 million land mines in their country and Hmong, Laotian, Vietnamese and Cambodian peoples attempt to reconstruct their lives, either in their home countries or in countries where they were sent. Since 1979 there has been very little mention of this region in the American press and most people in the United States are ignorant of the recent history in these countries or of the effect of the wars on the indigenous peoples. I also realized how difficult it is to find books on this recent history. Books written in the 1980's go out of print quickly. And when I went to Cambodia I discovered that there were no books in Khmer on the history of Cambodia because they had been destroyed by the Khmer Rouge. It was in behalf of reclamation of this history that I undertook this current project to give testimony to the reality of the Indochinese wars.

Location. The Miao, also widely known as the Hmong, number approximately 8 million in China, with another 1.5 million Hmong outside of China. They speak numerous dialects, many of these being mutually unintelligible. In China most Miao can be found in Sichuan, Yunnan, Hunan, Guangxi, and Guizhou Provinces. History. Miao Society. The Miao are a friendly, affectionate people who enjoy music, festivals, and entertaining guests. They live in close-knit communities, their villages often made up of one or two clans. It is taboo to marry someone with the same family name, so Miao young people look forward to festivals as a chance to meet youth from other villages. Extended families usually live together under one roof in wooden "hanging houses," standing on stilts short on the uphill side and long on the downhill side. Many homes have three stories, the top for grain storage, the middle for the family, and the bottom for animals. In other areas, homes may be made of mud bricks or stone. Language.

Cultural Knowledge Culture is vital to people’s understanding of themselves, their world and how they function in it. It is clearly connected with identity and a sense of belonging as well as to the place where people live. Cultural knowledge includes not only physical resources, places and traditional practices, but also stories and knowledge people have developed to sustain themselves as they innovate and adapt to changes in their environment, continuing to survive as a people and leading the way in learning how to live in more than one ‘world’. “Asset mapping helps us analyze more and different information for our planning to improve our organization and our Hmong community. This gives us more experience meeting people face to face. It’s a win-win position: benefit to the neighborhood, to people, to communities and to organizations.” Nai Vang, Southeast Asia Community Council, Minneapolis, Minnesota Cultural knowledge can be useful in many ways, such as in health care practices, education, family dynamics, child rearing, oral and local history, storytelling, respecting the environment, land use planning, decision making and numerous other applications. The way cultural knowledge is developed and shared is also an important aspect. Learning through discovery and observation, becoming aware of our environment and the interconnectedness of the web of life, creating from the resources at hand, sustaining mutual relationships, and relying on the talents and contributions of each member of the community are important for us all to develop.

Addressing the Forum this morning, Carolyn Hannan, Director of the United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women, urged that concerted efforts be made to involve and support indigenous women in policy formulation and decision-making processes, to ensure their equal access to resources and to facilitate their contribution to their development of their communities and nations.  Among remaining challenges was the gap between existing human rights legislation and the de facto situations confronting indigenous peoples. The Forum also heard about specific situations in which indigenous groups had taken a stand to defend their culture and rights in the face of the efforts of dominant societies to subjugate them.  For example, the Governments of Mexico and the

El debate de la tarde sobre el medio ambiente se inició con la intervención de Ayitegau Kouevi, miembro del Foro y experto indígena del Togo, que subrayó que todos los pueblos indígenas comparten una misma relación social y ecológica con sus tierras y el uso de la tierra y la gestión de los recursos seguían siendo cuestiones de interés fundamental para los pueblos indígenas de todo el mundo. El medio ambiente se encuentra en grave peligro, afirmó, así como quienes se benefician de él (no sólo los pueblos indígenas sino todo el mundo). Un representante de la Coordinadora de Organizaciones Indígenas de la Cuenca Amazónica afirmó que las empresas petroleras habían invadido los territorios indígenas de la región del Amazonas, lo cual había repercutido negativamente en el medio ambiente y ocasionado daños irreparables a los conocimientos ancestrales. El orador instó a los gobiernos a que pusieran fin a las concesiones a las empresas madereras y petroleras y controlaran estrictamente el acceso de las empresas extranjeras a las tierras indígenas. Un representante de la Indian Confederation of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples señaló que el Gobierno de la India había asumido el control de zonas de bosques en regiones indígenas con la intención de entregarlas para su explotación minera y desarrollo a gran escala. Algunos Estados, con la ayuda de la Corte Suprema, habían expulsado a los pueblos indígenas de sus tierras llamándoles "intrusos".

Mining Communities Charter The London Declaration Refuting the unsustainable claims of the mining industry Opposing current models of "engagement" Demanding full recognition of community rights We - twenty four representatives of communities and groups affected by mining from Asia-Pacific, Africa, India, South and North America - met in London from May 18-23rd 2001, to compare the impacts of mining on the lives of communities and ecosystems and to share strategies on how to confront the industry. London is the minerals capital of world, where a major proportion of global capital investment in mining is raised and the most active metals trading takes place. It is here that the international headquarters of some of the major mining companies are located, and that recent initiatives have been launched, seeking to persuade the "international community" that the minerals industry can continue many of its unacceptable practices. These initiatives include the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development programme (MMSD) which is supported by more than thirty leading mining companies, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the London-based International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). We have seen our peoples suffering for many years from mining in all stages and forms, and from exploration to development through to abandonment. Industrial mining has caused grievous pain and irreparable destruction to our culture, our identities and our very lives. Our traditional lands have been taken, and the wealth seized, without our consent or benefit.

P A N G A E A Kakuma-Turkana Front Page METRO Section 4 July 2002 Shedding light on the plight of refugees, indigenous people 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.

P A N G A E A Kakuma-Turkana T his book has touched the hearts of many with divergent backgrounds from around the world and across social, political, religious and economic backgrounds. It is a tribute to those portrayed here, both the refugees at Kakuma Camp and the indigenous peoples of Turkana. FROM THE DUST JACKET Daniel’s 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 Danny’s work as our family lived in Kenya while I was a young girl and its people hold a special place in my heart. Danny’s 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.

A Joint Statement of the Representatives of Indigenous Peoples Organizations from Asia to the Subcommission on Human Rights On behalf of the indigenous, tribal and Aboriginal peoples of Asia, allow me to submit our common statement. We value the sessions of the subcommission and look forward to your continued support in our. struggle for justice against discrimination and genocide. We, the indigenous, tribal and Aboriginal peoples of Asia, although so diverse in cultures, share similar problems and aspirations. We may speak many languages, but we shout with one voice. We are peoples of the land. We assert our collective right to self-determination. A right by which we are allowed to freely determine our political status and freely pursue our social, economic and cultural development as a people. We want to bring to the attention of the sub-commission that some Asian governments deny the existence of indigenous peoples in our part of the world. This denial is a significant obstacle in the participation of our people in the deliberation of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations. This denial also seeks to withhold the benefits of the declaration and other conventions for the indigenous peoples. We demand that, in accordance with the International Labor Organization (ILO) practice, tribal and Aboriginal people in our area be treated as equivalent to the term "indigenous people." We would also wish to draw your attention to the fact that governments and many development agencies in our region are continuing to exert pressure on us to assimilate our peoples into alien cultures and value systems. In the process, they are forcing us to learn and speak alien languages and to violate our distinct identities and cultures. In addition, development programs that affect our people do not directly benefit us. In the name of development, these outside forces construct roads, cut trees, build dams, mine our lands, ravage our forests and displace our peoples. We demand that development programs for indigenous peoples in Asia be administered only with their full, free and informed consent and participation.

About Us Thailand - Canada Aboriginal Relations Pan-Asian Indigenous Peoples Conference Thailand is home to approximately 900,000 so-called "hill tribe people" or upland ethnic minorities living throughout northern and western Thailand. The largest group is the Karen (46%) followed by Hmong (16%) and Lahu (11%). There are other smaller groups including the Akha, Lisu, Mien, Htin, Khamu and Lua. While it is not clear that they fit the definition of Indigenous people in the sense of having lived in their present territory before the arrival of the dominant majority (ethnic Thais), they share other characteristics of Indigenous or Aboriginal peoples, such as a distinct cultural identity, identify themselves as Indigenous, and participate in international organizations such as the UN as Indigenous peoples. They also face socio-economic challenges common to other Indigenous people, as Hill tribe people suffer from a lack of access to education and other government services as well as having problems with citizenship and land rights issues. Direct contact and co-operation between Thai and Canadian Indigenous peoples has been limited, but there is potential for co-operation in fields such as sustainable tourism and economic development. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and Trent University have established partnerships.
