Bringing Them Home indexing project for further information on the project. The Bringing Them Home name index The BTH name index contains: names of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; names of non-Indigenous people including relatives, missionaries, police, patrol officers and teachers who were associated with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; and names of missions and institutions where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were placed. The index does not contain information about the people named. To see the information itself you will need to view the Commonwealth records concerned. The indexing project covers records held by the Archives in Canberra and Darwin, which are primarily concerned with the Commonwealth administration of Indigenous people of the Northern Territory. A team has been set up in Melbourne to index records held there that relate to Indigenous people who came under the administration of the Victorian government. The index also contains some entries about Indigenous people from other States.

Biopiracy causes the loss of control of traditional populations over their resources. In the Amazon region this is not a new phenomenon! This joint knowledge must not be seen as a commodity that can be sold or bought. In the last years, through the advance of biotechnology, the facilitating of registering international trademarks and patents as well as international agreements on intellectual property, such as TRIPs , the possibilities of such exploitation have multiplied. However, there are also efforts to revert this situation: In 1992, during Eco-92 in Rio de Janeiro, the

145. Mansi Overview article from RAIPON (Russian Association of indigenous peoples of the North). http://www.raipon.org/Web_Database/mansi.html

General Information Mansi (self-name - man) is a people in Western Siberia, the indigenous population of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. (6.6 thousand). The Mansi are mostly distributed there over the right tributaries of the Ob River (Fig. 1) Fig. 1. The area of the distribution and economic activities of the Mansi A small group lives in the Sverdlovsk Region in the Ivdel River near Tagil. The Mansi number in the Russian Federation is 8.3 thousand. Scientific literature treats the Mansi together with the Khanty as Ob Ugrians. Before the beginning of the 20 th century, the Russians called the Mansi the Vogul or Ostyak . Anthropologically, the Mansi are the Sub-Uralic or Uralic proper types of the Uralic transition race. The Mansi language belongs to the Ugric subgroup of Finno-Ugric languages of the Uralic family. There are seven dialects, whose divergence is so great as to prevent mutual understanding. Since 1930, the writing has been based on the Middle-Sosva dialect and the Russian alphabet. The following ethnic groups are distinguished: the northern (Sosva and Upper-Lozva dialects), southern or Tavda, eastern (Kondinsky dialect), Western (Kondinsky dialect), Western (Pelym, Vagil, Lower Lozva and Upper Lozva dialects). The Mansi was claimed to their native language by 3.1 thousand people. Ethnogenesis As ethnos, the Mansi evolved as a result of the merger of the tribes of the Uralic Neolithic culture with Ugric and Indo-Iranian tribes, which migrated in the 2 - 1 millennia B. C. from the south to the steppes and forest-steppes, of Western Siberia and Northern Kazakhstan. The combination of the cultures of taiga hunters and fishermen and steppe nomadic pastoralists in the Mansi culture has been retained. It is most vividly manifested in the cult of the horse and the celestial horseman

147. Indian1 History of indigenous peoples of south central Pennsylvania. http://www.motherbedford.com/Indian1.htm

The Indian Occupation Of Mother Bedford We are all sojourners in this land. In the earliest ages only animals laid claim to the hills and valleys of what is today south central Pennsylvania. Currently accepted anthropological opinion states that during the period between thirty and six thousand years B.C., peoples from the Asian Continent entered the North American Continent by way of the now submerged Bering Strait landbridge. It is noted in the book, Smithsonian Book of The North American Indian , that a number of Paleo-Indian sites have been excavated across the Northeast that date to the post-glacial period. One of those sites is the Meadowcroft Rockshelter near present-day Pittsburgh. The Meadowcroft site has been dated to between fourteen and eleven thousand B.C. As I just noted, on the North American Continent the period of the initial migration of peoples into and across the North American Continent is known as the Paleo-Indian era; that period was part of the Stone Age. Those peoples were not native to this continent; nonetheless they moved in and claimed the land for their own. Some regions of the continent were chosen by these peoples as more or less permanent homelands. Other regions remained undisturbed except for occassional hunting forays. Like their Asiatic ancestors, those peoples were generally nomadic and did not believe in "owning" the land as the later European sojourners would.

150. Little Progress In The Recognition And Demarcation Of Indigenous Lands In Guyana Information Update from the Forest peoples Programme. http://abyayala.nativeweb.org/guyana/guyana2.html

FOREST PEOPLES PROGRAMME INFORMATION UPDATE 19 February 1997 Little progress in the recognition and demarcation of Indigenous lands in Guyana The Government of Guyana recently approved its budget for 1997. Included therein is 50 million Guyana Dollars (approximately 365,000 US Dollars) for the demaraction of titled Indigenous territory. This amount may be sufficent to demarcate 2 or 3 titled areas, assuming that non-essential overhead costs are minimized. The World Bank has offered a further US200,000 for demarcation and is prepared to make aditional financing available. However, the Government of Guyana has failed to respond to the offer, raising serious questions about their willingness to legally recognize and demarcate Amerindian lands. Land titling began in Guyana with the passage of the 1977 Amerindian Act. Certain communities that did not receive titles in 1977, received recognition in a 1991 Amendment, particularly the Akawaio of the Upper Mazaruni region whose land was slated for a hydroelectric project at that time. The 1991 Amendments came during Guyanas last general election. 1997 is also a general election year and Government rhetoric about Amerindian rights is increasing. The Government views Amerindians, who comprise about 8% of the population, as an important voting block with the potential to influence the outcome. Meanwhile, a substantial number of communities remain without titles to their ancestral territories and many more complain that the titles that they do have are inadequate. The latter state that titled areas do not include all of their ancestral lands and do not correspond to their traditional territory. Once contiguous Amerindian territories have been divided up by the Government so that they are now intersected with so-called 'State-owned' land. Coupled with Government claims to sole ownership of subsurface minerals, this has faciliatated the entrance of multinational mining and logging companies and small-scale miners from the coast and Brazil.

Carbet-List_the Discussion Group Of The CAC This is the page for instructions on how to join CarbetList, a discussion list that brings together scholars, activists and anyone interested in discussing or asking questions about the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. http://www.centrelink.org/Carbet.html

CARBET-LIST ANNOUNCING CARBET-LIST DISCUSSION LIST ON ABORIGINAL PEOPLES OF THE CARIBBEAN Sponsored by the CARIBBEAN AMERINDIAN CENTRELINK PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THOSE WHO SUBSCRIBED PRIOR TO DECEMBER 2001 WILL NEED TO RE-JOIN, FOLLOWING THE NEW GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BELOW. KINDLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBSCRIBING. You are invited to subscribe to this new discussion list, bringing together scholars and activists interested in the aboriginal peoples of the Caribbean. Aboriginal peoples of the Caribbean, past and present, are at the focus of this discussion list. A considerable amount of archaeological research has been conducted on the pre-colonial societies of the Caribbean and this list particularly welcomes archaeologists as well as those with an interest in the colonial history of indigenous populations of the Caribbean. Moreover, contemporary populations of aboriginal ancestry, which have long been neglected in the social science literature on the Caribbean, have been attracting the interest of scholars especially over the past ten to twenty years. A significant number of activists identifying with an aboriginal Caribbean heritage have also made their presence felt on the Internet over the past decade, another example of the ongoing revival and revitalization of Caribbean indigenous identities and communities. This is the only list of its kind that offers a central forum for bringing all these interests together in discussion with one another. The scope of CARBET-LIST includes populations that are now commonly referred to as Taino, Carib, Arawak, and Garifuna, stretching from Belize, through Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, down to Dominica, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Guyanas. CARBET-LIST seeks to fulfill the aims of the Caribbean Amerindian Centrelink in not just organizing and providing online content, but in also building a community with common discussion interests.

157. FORE: Religion-Indigenous Traditions-Introduction term, “lifeway,” emphasizes this holistic context that grounds the traditional environmental knowledge evident in the cosmologies of indigenous peoples. http://environment.harvard.edu/religion/religion/indigenous/

Machine translation powered by Systran Forum on Religion and Ecology Information Religion ... Islam Introduction to Indigenous Traditions Indigenous Traditions and Ecology John A. Grim Bucknell University From the perspective of political economy, the cultural characteristics of indigenous life which most directly relate to ecology are currently the most marginalized. That is, indigenous peoples are often the target of external economic domination by multinational businesses which seek to exploit indigenous homelands often with the help of the nation-state in which indigenous peoples reside. These issues of diversity and economic exploitation are central to any discussion of indigenous traditions and ecology as many of the indigenous peoples, their cosmologies, and ritual practices discussed below are actually in danger of being extinguished by absorption into mainstream societies and by destruction of indigenous homelands through resource extraction. Orientation Themes Themes which provide orientation for understanding the relations between indigenous religions and ecology are kinship, spatial and biographical relations with place, traditional environmental knowledge, and cosmology.

159. 1492 Exhibit A US Library of Congress exhibit which examines indigenous peoples in five parts of the Americas and their sustained contact with European explorers, conquerors and settlers from 1492 to 1600. http://www.ibiblio.org/expo/1492.exhibit/Intro.html

Welcome to 1492: AN ONGOING VOYAGE an Exhibit of the Library of Congress, Washington, DC 1492. Columbus. The date and the name provoke many questions related to the linking of very different parts of the world, the Western Hemisphere and the Mediterranean. What was life like in those areas before 1492? What spurred European expansion? How did European, African and American peoples react to each other? What were some of the immediate results of these contacts? 1492: AN ONGOING VOYAGE addresses such questions by examining the rich mixture of societies coexisting in five areas of this hemisphere before European arrival. It then surveys the polyglot Mediterranean world at a dynamic turning point in its development. The exhibition examines the first sustained contacts between American people and European explorers, conquerors and settlers from 1492 to 1600. During this period, in the wake of Columbus's voyages, Africans also arrived in the hemisphere, usually as slaves. All of these encounters, some brutal and traumatic, others more gradual, irreversibly changed the way in which peoples in the Americas led their lives. The dramatic events following 1492 set the stage for numerous cultural interactions in the Americas which are still in progress - a complex and ongoing voyage.

It is well established that where indigenous persons are subjected to dehumanization that oppression and denial of civil rights, and the inability to enjoy the same benefits that are available to other members of society that the oppression only gets worse unless action is taken to restore the rights and an equal position in society. Where racially hostile environments are present the Native American Heritage Initiative and the NDN Rights Project utilize various forms of community mediation, and dialogue development programs, where community mediation, and dialogue development programs fail to bring resolution to issues and concerns related to indigenous peoples the matters are addressed through the judicial systems through a network of member attorneys and other legal professionals.
