The visitors will learn and see firsthand different issues faced by U.S. and Canadian indigenous peoples. They will strategize with U.S. native activists and tribal leaders around indigenous rights, sovereignty, and natural resource issues. The visit will also provide Russian indigenous leaders with a rare opportunity to tell their own experiences in the Russian Far East and Siberia. The exchange is being organized by the Oakland-based international environmental organization Pacific Environment.

Thank you for having me here today. I would like to especially thank the conference organizers World Information Transfer for making this information exchange possible. I'd like to begin with a prayer from my friend and colleague Nadezhda Novik of the Keto People in Northern Siberia. "We are thankful for the strong awareness we have of our destiny on this small, blue planet Earth: we are nature's protectors. It is not in vain that my grandfather once spoke this prayer, and my mother repeats it today, 'We thank Mother Earth for that which she gives us, her children - the forest and the river: they feed us, quench our thirst, clothe and shod us! We thank the heavens for its children - the sun, stars, and moon, for they light the way for our hunters! We thank the fire in our hearth, for it warms our family and our home! Our door is always open to those people with good hearts and pure minds! We present a deep bow to life!' " From Nadia's words, you can get a sense of the strong, balanced connection between Russian indigenous peoples and the environment. Even today, many Russian indigenous peoples are still practicing traditional, sustainable resource use. However, environmental contaminants are polluting traditional territories and accumulating in animals used as traditional foods. Thus, we find that in practicing traditional use, Russian indigenous communities are becoming one of the first human casualties of industrial environmental pollution. Pollution that is, in fact, impacting us all.

In The News Pacific Environments Newsletter, Vol. II, No. 3, Summer 2001 By Sibyl Diver The scenario: An industrializing society that has become dependent on massive amounts of oil, gas, timber, minerals, and fish aggressively pushes its wilderness frontier for these resources to feed a growing appetite. In so doing, it collides head on with indigenous cultures that have been living in tune with the natural cycles of the land for thousands of generations. Slaughter, enslavement, genocide, and disease run rampant, as entire tribes are eliminated, and the surviving tribes are marginalized. Over the course of just a fe w generations, industry leaves deep scars on both the cultural and natural landscape, and the government attempts to forcibly assimilate the indigenous peoples through education programs, while destructive elements like alcohol are introduced to the tribes. But the tribes begin to organize, and reclaim their culture. They form organizations, build alliances, and begin to demand their rights as indigenous peoples whose way of life is being destroyed by an industrialization process that was forced down their throats.

Russian Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East [RAIPON] Perspectives On Climate Changes Observations Tatjana K. Vlassova, Ph.D- RAIPON expert Leader of the NorthSets Project, Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Geography Summary paper prepared on the basis of the Report at Snowchange 2002 Conference, Tampere, supported by Tampere Polytechnic with assistance from Prof. Henry Huntington (the leading author of the ACIA monograph). The Russian Association of the Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East (RAIPON) since 2000 has become widely engaged in the issues of climate change through the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment Initiative (Washington 2000, Sankt-Petersburg, 2001), Canadian Summit on Climate Change (2001, Whitehorse), European Commission Joint Research Centre " EU-Russia-Canada-US Arctic Workshop" (2001), several seminars, organised by Russian NGOs devoted to the discussion of the Kyoto protocol, etc. It is a pity, that not too many representatives from indigenous peoples communities can come and participate in all these events. Now we are here at the Snowchange Workshop in Tampere. No special, precise investigation on the impacts of climate change on traditional lifestyle of indigenous communities has been done done in Russia and the awareness of the most indigenous peoples (especially those migrated and previously resettled to larger settlements and being not engaged in traditional livelihood, where all changes happening in Nature are extremely important) about possible consequences of climate change in the Arctic is very low.

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.
