Statement on behalf of the Nordic Countries by Ms. Viola Furubjelke, Chairperson, Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs of Sweden. Mr./Ms. Chairman/Chairperson, Speaking on behalf of the Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland and my own country Sweden, I am pleased to address the issue of the International Decade of Indigenous Peoples. Almost 5 years has passed since the General Assembly in 1994 proclaimed the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People. Many activities related to the Decade have since taken place but much remains in terms of goals to be fulfilled. The theme of the Decade is "Indigenous People: Partnership in Action". This theme reflects the very idea of what we believe that the Decade is all about. The aim is to increase and strengthen, based on the idea of true partnership, international co-operation between states and indigenous peoples and between the indigenous peoples in order to find solutions to the problems facing indigenous peoples world-wide. To achieve this aim good relationships between the states and their indigenous peoples should be promoted and co-operation amongst the indigenous peoples themselves have to be encouraged. These relationships must be based on mutual respect and understanding for each other's cultural identity as well as respect for human rights.

Wildlife News Search WWF-UK WWF-UK News > News stories Friday 11 June 2004 One of Europe's last indigenous communities under threat Tuesday 23 March 1999 The future of the Sami people of northern Sweden is under serious threat following a major clash with private forest owners over land grazing rights. A Sami delegation in London to publicise their cause is calling on the British timber industry to use commercial pressure to help save their reindeer herding culture. The Sami people are being sued by groups of private forest owners seeking to stop them from using their land for winter grazing for their reindeer. In the absence of written documentation to prove long-standing use of the land - a problem faced by indigenous peoples worldwide - the Sami are likely to lose these cases. Not only do they face crippling court costs but they are also likely to lose access to the forests upon which they have depended for hundreds of years. There are 70,000 Sami people in Scandinavia, of whom 17,000 live in Sweden. Of them, around 3,000 rely on reindeer herding for their livelihood. The traditional Sami culture is characterised by close contact with nature, following the path of the reindeer between summer grazing lands in the mountains and winter grazing lands in the forests. The Sami are no longer nomadic but reindeer herding is still a traditional way of life and an important part of their cultural identity.

Odin Government Ministries Archive ... Norway 2005 Centennial Speech at Forum for Development Cooperation with Indigenous Peoples Ladies and gentlemen. Dear friends. This Forum was established as a follow-up of an evaluation of the Norwegian Program for Indigenous Peoples. The evaluation report pointed out the need for a forum where Norwegian and international institutions could meet to discuss development issues relating to indigenous peoples. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed to this recommendation. It found that a forum where Norwegian institutions dealing with indigenous issues might share their experiences with similar non-Norwegian institutions, also would strengthen the quality of Norwegian development assistance. The Norwegian development program for indigenous peoples was started in 1983. The program, which probably was the first of its kind, has a mandate "to strengthen the capacity and ability of indigenous peoples to shape and control their own development". Technical and financial assistance has been offered for projects in the area of human rights, health, culture and education. In addition institution building and networking have been emphasized. The evaluation of the Norwegian program found it relevant to the needs of indigenous peoples. Several projects had had a major impact on the situation of indigenous peoples in various countries. Projects under the program had led to a higher degree of organization building amongst indigenous peoples, including among indigenous women.

AudioVideo Thursday, 3 February, 2000, 21:41 GMT Lapland's reindeer: Nowhere to herd Lapland is the traditional herding ground of reindeer By Robert Piggott in Lapland Indigenous reindeer herders in Sweden say their traditional way of life is in jeopardy because the owners of private forests in the country are using the law to exclude them from woodland. A reindeer digs for lichen The Sami people of Lapland have appealed to consumers throughout the world to buy only wood produced in a way that respects the customs of indigenous groups. In the far north of Sweden, reindeer are seeking refuge from the bitter cold of winter in the forests. On the mountains, they would starve. In the woodland, they can dig through the snow to the lichen underneath. For the Sami people, herding reindeer is a way of life - but it is in jeopardy. Much of the forest exists on small private estates, whose owners are disputing the Sami's right to be here. Reindeer herders want access to the forest When reindeer herders are challenged, Swedish law requires the Sami to prove their right to use the forests.

The Earth as Mother Education in the International Decade of Indigenous Peoples: Bringing education back into the mainstream of Indigenous Peoples' lives By Raymundo Rovillos They wanted us to go to school And to turn the pages of books... Why learn the language of books When the forest speaks to you? One cannot eat books, And pens and pencils are poor weapons To kill the deer of the mountains And the grunting boar... This poem aptly illustrates one of the issues raised by Indigenous Peoples against the system of education that was imposed on them by colonial and neo-colonial powers. It is a biting indictment of an educational system that is perceived as unsuitable to their needs. Indeed, Indigenous Peoples in many parts of the world identify education as a crucial factor in the historical process of their marginalization. The process started at the onset of western colonization and was carried over by nation-states after decolonization. A Handmaiden of Assimilation In their attempt to consolidate colonial power, and later, nation-states, the ruling elite imposed a policy of assimilation nay westernization. This policy was implemented by missionaries and schools that they set up in Indigenous communities. This resulted in the virtual obliteration of most of the Indigenous Peoples’ way of life their cultural practices, traditions, arts, languages. Some elements of their culture, those that were deemed acceptable to the "moral" (i.e., western, Christian and patriarchal) standards of the colonizers and ruling elite, were integrated into the dominant national culture.

justice, peace, creation tasks and concerns: Indigenous Peoplese Walking together towards tomorrow Introduction: The Indigenous Peoples Programme focus is the plight and status of Indigenous Peoples around the world. The programme attempts to clarify the past and present issues of denial, destruction and denigration of Indigenous spiritualities and ancestral values that were exercised by colonisation and continued by dominant cultures, the most critical of which is the dispossession of the land on which Indigenous Peoples build and develop their lives and their spiritualities. Indigenous Peoples are among the (if not the ) most oppressed peoples in the world. The Indigenous Peoples Programme calls on the WCC to be proactive in its support for Indigenous Peoples and their struggles by: ensuring that the issues and concerns of Indigenous Peoples are continuing to be addressed throughout the programmatic work of the WCC and by doing so; engaging and encouraging its member churches to work in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples; challenging wider society which continues imposing oppressive actions.

By these words HM King Harald V opened the Sami Assembly in Norway in 1997. The Samis are an indigenous people, spread as minorities in four countries - Finland, Sweden, Russia and Norway. The majority (about 2/3) of the Sami population lives in Norway (about 40-50 thousand people). They have their own settlement areas, language, culture and history. In this paper I want to take a closer look at the civic engagement and political mobilization of the Sami people in Norway. The Sami people are in the Norwegian constitution recognized as an indigenous people within Norway´s border (since 1988) (Gaski 1997). But the history of the Sami people is a history that includes centuries of isolation and oppression by the Norwegian state (Skotvedt 1993). Prior to World War II the official Norwegian policy was to incorporate the Sami population into the Norwegian society (assimilation). This Sami Norwegianization was devastating to Sami language and culture, and even as late as in the 1950s Sami pupils were punished for uttering a single Sami word at school (op cit.). From the 1960s the Sami started to organize and to protest against the official politics of Norwegian authorities, and it is reasonable to talk about a "Sami movement".

published by WISE News Communique on December 15, 1995 RTZ/CRA merger: Threat to indigenous peoples The world's biggest mining company, RTZ, has proposed merging with its Australian associate, CRA. The merger will go before shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting for approval on December 20, 1995. Following is an open letter initiated by Partizans (People Against RTZ) to urge shareholders to oppose the merger. (444.4396) Partizans - RTZ, the world's largest mining company, and CRA, its 49%-owned associate, are planning to merge their operations in 1996. The avowed intention is to combine both companies' capital (to the tune of around US $27 billion), boost their global dominance in the production of the world's most important minerals, and penetrate areas not yet exposed to mineral exploitation. The merger will not only create the most powerful mining company in history, but also have grave consequences for thousands of Indigenous and other land-based peoples worldwide. The operations or investments of British-based RTZ already threaten their rights, culture and livelihood in several regions. Those of CRA have been condemned on many occasions in recent years (see list What would a combined RTZ/CRA mean for such communities? It would consolidate the hold that both companies have on Indigenous territory (specifically in the Asia-Pacific region) and facilitate financing for similar projects elsewhere.
