International Indian Treaty Council CONSEJO INTERNACIONAL DE TRATADOS INDIOS “WORKING FOR THE RIGHTS AND RECOGNITION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES" To: UN Member State Delegations at the Fifth Committee of the General Assembly, 56th Session 10 October 2001 Dear Sir/Madam; We, the undersigned Indigenous peoples and organizations, would like to draw the attention of the General Assembly to questions related to the budget for the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. 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.

Native Peoples of Siberia This page presents links for information on the many native peoples of Siberia. The colors of this page are the same as the Siberian Flag and the flags of several Siberian nations. The green represents the Siberian taiga, the largest forest in the world, the white represents the snow of winter. The Siberian winter is from November to March, and is culturally as well as materially important for all Siberians, native or Russian. However, Siberia is not the frozen wasteland as some believe, but a very rich and diverse environment sheltering vast amounts of wildlife and plants, some of which are quite rare and valuable. The peoples of Siberia fall into three major ethno-linguistic groups: Uralic Altaic Paleo-Siberian The Buryat, the main group discussed at this website, are an Altaic nationality. Below you will find links grouped according to these three groups. In addition to this, please check out the Shamanism from Other Siberian Traditions page in order to view materials about the shamanism of these other native groups. This page also includes a section on native rights and environmental issues. Additional information will be found in the Relationship between Siberian and other native peoples page.

The three women are seen from above, not as portraits (which in any event would be ephemeral since their essential home is in Dreamtime), but as integrated energy-fields composed of the same energies as the world around them. Such a restful sense of identity with earth is a rare experience for many, especially in the West. I've avoided doing a page on Australia's Aboriginal peoples for over a year now because I knew that although much of the data would be powerful, much would also be heartbreaking - I have delayed doing pages on most of the Americas for the same reason. Yet Australian Aboriginal themes keep coming up for me lately so, despite my reluctance, it's time to begin this page. . . .

This territory has been recognized by international agreements that hold up this ancestral right of ownership, under a system of communal coexistence with other cultures, respect for nature, the necessary use of its natural resources and historic heritage for our future generations. The Constitution of the Republic establishes in its Fundamental Principles that "The State recognized the existence of Indigenous peoples who shall enjoy the rights, responsibilities, and guarantees provided by the Constitution, and, in particular, those of maintaining and developing their identity, culture, their own forms of social organization and administration of local affairs; likewise, to maintain communal forms of property on their lands and possession, use, and enjoyment of the same, in full conformity with the Law." [Article 5, Constitution] It is noted in Article 180 of the Constitution that "The communities of the Atlantic coast have the right to live and develop themselves under forms of social organization that correspond to their historical and cultural traditions." It goes on: "The State guarantees these communities enjoyment of their natural resources, effectiveness in their forms of communal property and free election of their authorities and legislative representatives."

find your way: Indigenous peoples in Brazil Who, where, how many Who they are General definitions About the names of the peoples Emerging identities General definitions :: Introduction :: Indians, amerindians :: Criteria of identification :: Around the world Introduction Today, talking about Indigenous peoples in Brazil means to recognize basically that: (1) in the lands colonized by the Portuguese, where later a country called Brazil would exist, there were already human populations; (3) certain groups of people who live in present-day Brazil are historically connected to these early peoples; (5) like any other human group, Indigenous peoples have cultures that result from the history of the relationships among themselves and between them and the environment; a history that, in their case, has been (and continues to be) dramatically altered by the reality of colonization; Indians, Amerindians Generically, the Indigenous peoples that live not only in Brazil but also in the entire American continent are called Indians. This name is the result of a historical mistake made by the first Europeans who arrived in America, who thought they had reached India. The continuous use of the word, even by the Indians themselves, has made it a synonym of an Indigenous person in Brazil.
