Agenda General Assembly Rights of Indigenous Peoples By Philippe Hug It is estimated that there are about 300 million indigenous peoples scattered around the world today. Indigenous peoples are the Indians of the America’s, the Aborigines of Australia, the Maori of New Zealand, the Mayans of Guatemala, and the Sami of northern Europe to name a few. The world has obtained invaluable knowledge and goods from indigenous peoples, such as food, medicine, and language. In recent history the well-being and lives of indigenous peoples have been threatened. Today there is a move to restore indigenous peoples way of life through the influences of the international community. There is an international effort to restore indigenous peoples’ rights, customs and ways of life. The United Nations has been at the forefront of this crusade. Indigenous peoples are defined by some as people or nations that have a “historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories and consider themselves distinct from other sectors of the societies now prevailing on those territories, or parts of them. They form a present non-dominant sector of society and are determined to preserve, develop and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity, as the basis of their continued existence as peoples, in accordance with their own cultural patterns, social institutions and legal systems.” This definition is accepted by the United Nations and many countries. However, some Asian countries are uncomfortable with a definition and maintain that they do not have any indigenous peoples on their land.

printer friendly version General aspects of indigenous peoples' perception of poverty Apart from providing country-specific information, the MRG consultation in Guatemala also confirmed that many indigenous peoples' experiences are similar. The same concerns are consistently raised by indigenous organizations in international processes, for example, concerning sustainable development. These issues to some extent constitute general aspects of indigenous peoples' perception of poverty in Latin America, and are discussed below: Governance and development Conflict, democracy, governance and indigenous rights Indigenous models of governance, justice and democracy were never taken into account in the construction of Latin American states, which are built on a model of citizenship that has until recently excluded indigenous peoples. All of the four countries discussed in this study have recent experiences of armed struggle, militarization or violence. In addition, the Contra War facilitated the distribution of drugs and alcohol. This had a negative impact as these communities tried to raise money to satisfy these new needs through diving for lobsters, via fisheries and the exploitation of natural resources, etc., setting aside the production of basic food items for consumption. The climate of war in Central America in the 1970s and 1980s also seriously raised poverty levels in the border areas of El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua.

50. Chief Joseph general Miles said to the chief that he had recommended and urged that their agreement indigenous peoples Literature Return to indigenous peoples Literature http://www.indians.org/welker/joseph1.htm

Chief Joseph as Remembered by Ohiyesa (Charles A. Eastman) The Nez Perce tribe of Indians, like other tribes too large to be united under one chief, was composed of several bands, each distinct in sovereignty. It was a loose confederacy. Joseph and his people occupied the Imnaha or Grande Ronde valley in Oregon, which was considered perhaps the finest land in that part of the country. When the last treaty was entered into by some of the bands of the Nez Perce, Joseph's band was at Lapwai, Idaho, and had nothing to do with the agreement. The elder chief in dying had counseled his son, then not more than twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, never to part with their home, assuring him that he had signed no papers. These peaceful non-treaty Indians did not even know what land had been ceded until the agent read them the government order to leave. Of course they refused. You and I would have done the same. When the agent failed to move them, he and the would-be settlers called upon the army to force them to be good, namely, without a murmur to leave their pleasant inheritance in the hands of a crowd of greedy grafters. General O. O. Howard, the Christian soldier, was sent to do the work. He had a long council with Joseph and his leading men, telling them they must obey the order or be driven out by force. We may be sure that he presented this hard alternative reluctantly. Joseph was a mere youth without experience in war or public affairs. He had been well brought up in obedience to parental wisdom and with his brother Ollicut had attended Missionary Spaulding's school where they had listened to the story of Christ and his religion of brotherhood. He now replied in his simple way that neither he nor his father had ever made any treaty disposing of their country, that no other band of the Nez Perces was authorized to speak for them, and it would seem a mighty injustice and unkindness to dispossess a friendly band.

One Eyed Children NATIONAL PROFILE OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF MEXICO INTRODUCTION General Overview of the Indigenous Populations of Mexico 1. The discovery of the Americas in the sixteenth century revealed to the European invaders two great civilizations: the Inca in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Mesoamerican in the Northern Hemisphere. The latter was characterized, until colonization began, by all the elements commonly associated with "advanced civilizations." These included a great concentration of sedentary populations; sophisticated political organization of hierarchical states; intensive agriculture; monumental constructions including temples, and civil structures; a great tradition of sculpture and pictorial art; hieroglyphic writing; the use of sophisticated calendars, and; mathematical computation. It also included a variety of social classes, centralized religious systems with priestly castes. 2. To the north of this Mesoamerican civilization, was the zone of hunters and gatherers, known as arid-America. In this zone, with desert ecology, its inhabitants successfully adapted to the limited resource base and harsh environment through a primarily nomadic economy, with a low demographic density and limited sedentarized settlements. In contrast to the Mesoamerican civilizations, they had a relatively simple social and political structure; a low level of technological development and simple knowledge of architecture as well as relatively unsophisticated artistic, religious and intellectual expressions.

Indigenous Peoples in the Biodiversity Process Background for the 6th International Indigenous Forum on Biological Diversity (October 15-19 2001) held in preparation of the meeting of the Working Group on Access and Benefit Sharing (October 22.-26. 2001) established by COP 5 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Biodiversity – Neither "Resource" nor "Nature" but Process The international debate on biodiversity takes a "crisis" as its point of departure: on the level of species as well as corresponding ecosystems, but also within species an irrevocable loss of biodiversity occurs which exceeds natural (evolutionary) processes. Supported by commercial biotechnological interests, the problem of biodiversity loss is quickly reduced to a question of resource scarcity. Commercialization and privatization through exclusive patents and intellectual property rights are expected to minimize losses, create conservation incentives, standardize access and, above all, ensure the profitability of research investments.

Frequently Asked Questions SG/SM/9005 14 November 2003 SECRETARY-GENERAL HAILS CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TO HUMAN CIVILIZATION IN REMARKS IN MACHU PICCHU, PERU NEW YORK, 13 November (UN Headquarters) Following is the statement delivered by Secretary-General Kofi Annan on indigenous peoples in Machu Picchu, Peru, on 12 November: I would like to thank you (President Toledo) and Eliane for bringing Nane and me here. Here, amidst the peaks of the Andes in Peru, the enormous contributions of indigenous peoples to human civilization are everywhere on display from the sacred ruins of the Inca empire to the crops that grow on the mountainsides. In the jungles of the Amazon too, indigenous communities have lived for millennia in harmony with the rainforest, and they continue to do so today. And, throughout Latin America, one sees the extraordinary diversity of indigenous cultures and the potential contribution their knowledge and values can make to poverty eradication, sustainable agriculture, and indeed to our concept of life. From here in Peru to the Philippines, and from the deserts of Australia to the ice-covered lands of the Arctic circle, indigenous peoples have much to teach our world. But to come to the Andean region is also to appreciate how fragile the existence of many indigenous peoples is. In this region and in other parts of the world, too indigenous lands, waters, languages, health and cultures, long devastated by the legacy of colonial oppression, continue to be under grave threat. The environment is being destroyed and indigenous people are too often excluded from decisions that crucially affect the life of their communities. They suffer from prejudice, poverty, and disease. Some indigenous groups even face the terrible threat of extinction.

Just over 80 years ago, Haudenosaunee Chief Deskaheh travelled from Canada to Geneva to tell the League of Nations about the right of his people to live on their own land, follow their own laws and practise their own faiths.  Chief Deskaheh was refused permission to speak and had to return home without accomplishing his mission.  But his vision has inspired countless indigenous leaders since then to articulate and pursue the goals of their peoples.  You and we have come a long way since then. For far too long the hopes and aspirations of indigenous peoples have been ignored; their lands have been taken; their cultures denigrated or directly attacked; their languages and customs suppressed; their wisdom and traditional knowledge overlooked; and their sustainable ways of developing natural resources dismissed.  Some have even faced the threat of extinction.

59. FIAEP - ASPBAE Address Adult Education the Rights of indigenous peoples. Address to the general Assembly of the Asia South Pacific Bureau of Adult Education (ASPBAE), Darwin http://www.koori.usyd.edu.au/FIAEP/aspbae.html

Address to the General Assembly of the Asia South Pacific Bureau of Adult Education (ASPBAE), Darwin, Australia. December 1996. By Jack Beetson, President Federation of Independent Aboriginal Education Providers. Greetings, ASPBAE delegates, distinguished guests and friends. I will begin, as is the custom amongst our people, by paying my respects to the owners of the land on which we meet, the Larrakia people, whose ancestral lands include all of what is now known as the city of Darwin. I likewise pay my respects to all the indigenous peoples of this land who have gone before me, and who, in the last 200 years, have struggled, against the genocidal invasion of this continent, to keep our peoples and our cultures strong, so that we would survive. On their shoulders I stand today. Today has an historic significance for the recognition by adult education in this country of the rights and interests of indigenous peoples. I believe this is the first time that Australia has selected two indigenous people as its voting country delegates to the ASPBAE General Assembly, myself and Donna Ah Chee. The fact that this has happened is not an accident, or a chance occurrence. It is because of the many years of struggle that indigenous people and their non indigenous supporters have fought, both in this country and internationally, to bring forward the recognition of our special rights, as First Peoples. It is this topic, the special rights of First Peoples, in Australia and in the Asia Pacific Region, and the continued denial of those rights, to which I want to address my remarks in the brief time I have.
