KIMBERLEY INTRODUCTION
The Indigenous Peoples' International Summit on Sustainable Development
August 20-24, 2002
Kimberley, South Africa
Conference Hall, Kimberley, South Africa As the world prepared for the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), Indigenous Peoples were called upon to provide their own assessment of the implementation of sustainable development over the last decade and to identify which priorities and partnerships are important for them in the coming years. In 1992, at the United Nations World Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), Indigenous peoples were recognized as a Major Group, and the United Nations' objectives concerning their role is specified in Chapter 26, of Agenda 21.
Ten years later, before the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development convened, Indigenous Peoples came together for an Indigenous Peoples' International Summit on Sustainable Development that was held in Kimberley, South Africa on 20-24 August, 2002. The summit's objective was to develop the Indigenous Peoples' Agenda for Sustainable Development, present it to the WSSD and develop strategies for its implementation beyond the WSSD.
The tentative agenda for the Indigenous Peoples' Summit focused on the following themes:
  • Indigenous Peoples' agenda for sustainable development Indigenous Peoples and globalization
  • 43. Dialogue Between Nations -- Kimberley Declaration

    We, the Indigenous Peoples, walk to the future in the footprints of our ancestors
    (Kari-Oca Declaration, Brazil, 30 May 1992)
    We the Indigenous Peoples of the World assembled here reaffirm the Kari-Oca Declaration and the Indigenous Peoples' Earth Charter. We again reaffirm our previous declarations on human and environmental sustainability.*
    Since 1992 the ecosystems of the earth have been compounding in change. We are in crisis. We are in an accelerating spiral of climate change that will not abide unsustainable greed.
    Today we reaffirm our relationship to Mother Earth and our responsibility to coming generations to uphold peace, equity and justice. We continue to pursue the commitments made at Earth Summit as reflected in this political declaration and the accompanying plan of action. The commitments which were made to Indigenous Peoples in Agenda 21, including our full and effective participation, have not been implemented due to the lack of political will.
    As peoples, we reaffirm our rights to self-determination and to own, control and manage our ancestral lands and territories, waters and other resources. Our lands and territories are at the core of our existence - we are the land and the land is us; we have a distinct spiritual and material relationship with our lands and territories and they are inextricably linked to our survival and to the preservation and further development of our knowledge systems and cultures, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem management.

    Indigenous people
    Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Indigenous people are:
    • People living in an area prior to colonization by a state
    • People living in an area within a nation-state, prior to the formation of a nation-state, but who do not identify with the dominant nation.
    • The descendants of either of the above
    Indigenous people are sometimes referred to as aborigines or as autochthonous , a Greek term that means "sprung from the earth," Greek authors of the classical period referred to the indigenous people of Greece, who had lived there since before any of the waves of Hellenic migration, as " Pelasgians please excuse our appearance: this article is being actively worked on. Your help is invited. Pelasgian was a name applied by ancient Greek writers to groups of people who preceded the Hellenes and dwelt in several Greek, Anatolian and Aegean locations as neighbors of the Hellenes. Pelasgians spoke a language different from the Greeks. "Pelasgian" has since come to be used indiscriminately by scholars to indicate all the autochthonous inhabitants of these lands before the arrival of the Greeks, and in recent times it is even being applied to the indigenous, pre-Indo-European peoples of the Caucasus and Asia Minor as well.

    The grievances of Indigenous people in South Africa and Namibia against Globalisation
    The Plenary Session of the Working group on Indigenous People is the occasion for some eighty members of delegations to express their views and concerns about the relation between "Indigenous people and Globalisation". Among the numbers of the orators taking the floor, different members of the Khoe community were given the chance to speak about their situation. This community, like other tribal groups, has been suffering from invasion of their ancestral territories and has been denied their rights and controls of their lands. Laurentius S. Davids, (of the Khoe Heritage and Cultural Development Organisation, Namibia and was a political activist for the past seven years) is fighting for the preservation of linguistic idioms. He claimed that "language and identity are intertwined. Using their own language would enable the Khoe to rapidly transfer knowledge and would enhance the acquisition of languages of wider communication." Mr. Davids specified that only 33% of the natives were able to access mother tongue education, a problem that further marginalizes the Khoe children. Access to education is especially severe for the Khoe women who are the most excluded in the Namibian society. Lena Davids of the Huisen Women's Organisation recalled that "they (Khoe women) are impoverished, semi-literate, illiterate in most cases and jobless." This former nurse, who has been working for twenty-five years, recently created a group of five people who are trying to organize and gather more support to ameliorate this particular issue. "Much more needs to be done. There are policies but the implementation must be ameliorated, to make my own people aware."

    The History of Pinelands
    During the Influenza Epidemic of 1918, thousands of Capetonians were killed. This convinced Stuttaford that better housing and living conditions were paramount. He approached the acting Prime Minister FS Malan with a substantial gift of money and persuaded the Government to donate the former State Forestry Plantation at Uitvlugt for the development of the Garden City called Pinelands. The Garden City Trust was set up in 1921 where the Trust Deed stated that the main purpose of the Trust was to provide better housing and social conditions for the people. Garden Cities raised the money necessary for the building of roads, drainage and the institution of many other services. Land was divided for houses, civic, social, cultural, recreational amenities, public buildings, churches, schools and other purposes. The original land allocated was 800 acres and was added to in 1940 totalling 1400 acres. All buildings had to conform to the Garden City Regulations and were aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound. In 1923 the foundation stone was laid and government subsidies were made available to the people. Pinelands operated under the unique system of dual management and control between the Municipality and Garden Cities.

    The San people said the agreement was a "joyous moment" South Africa's indigenous San peoples have signed a deal ensuring they will profit from a diet drug being developed from a plant they have used for generations. Under the terms of the agreement, the San people will receive regular fees as the drug - developed from a plant used to suppress the appetite - passes various stages on the way to market. They will also receive a proportion of the royalties if and when it becomes commercially available, which could be in as little as five years. The San people hailed the agreement as a "joyous moment". "In the past, it used to be the norm to exploit their knowledge and culture but today is an example of how things have changed," said Kxao Moses, chairman of the Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa. Harnessing knowledge The San people, who number about 100,000 and who originate in the region of the Kalahari desert in south-west Africa, have used a plant called hoodia to suppress hunger pangs on long hunting trips for generations.

    Khoisan is the name by which the lighter skinned indigenous peoples of southern Africa,the Khoi (Hottentots) and the San (Bushmen) are known. These people dominated the sub-continent for millennia before the appearance of the Nguni and other black peoples. This is evident from their marvelous animated paintings on rocks and caves walls as far afield as Namaqualand, the Drakensberg and southern Cape. The many clicking sounds used in their speech had influenced the language of some of the African-speaking nations well before the arrival of the white colonists in the 17 th century` In the past they were hunter-gatherers, living largely off game, honey and the roots and fruits of plants. They lived - and some still do today in total harmony with nature, posing no threat to wildlife and vegetation by over-hunting or gathering. The semi-nomadic existence of the San was (and is) governed by the seasons and the movement of game.

    Africa: Impacts of Protected Areas on Indigenous Peoples It is now well-documented how indigenous communities face serious discrimination from their societies, are exploited by others, and possess little protection for their resource rights upon which they rely to secure their livelihoods. Many of these groups also live in areas where local, national and international conservation organisations maintain strong interests. New conservation principles for conservation projects affecting indigenous communities were therefore approved by the World Conservation Congress in 1992, setting out standards and implementing guidelines promoted by the World Commission on Protected Areas, WWF and the IUCN. Key concepts embodied in these principles, include:
    - A recognition of indigenous peoples property rights based upon traditional occupation and use, as recognised through the African Charter on Human Rights. Forest Peoples Project (FPP) is reaching the end of almost three years of collaborative work to document the impact of conservation areas on the lives of indigenous peoples from seven African countries, which completes a suite of collaborative projects carried out by FPP in Latin American and Asia since 1997.

    Dusk, /Aotcha settlement, Bushmanland, Namibia When dabbling in the mystique that surrounds the San of Southern Africa one is struck by an enduring enigma: it is that all of us cling, in one way or another, to a romanticised legend about these people and, in so doing, tend to overlook the real profanity that pervades their lives. The fun-filled images of The Gods Must Be Crazy stand counterposed against the fact that the star of the films, Kgau/'hana, lives in a dingy settlement in Bushmanland and tells my colleague Paul Weinberg, " Die filmmense het my verneuk [the film-makers ripped me off]." He has never hunted, doesn't own a loin cloth and has no bow or arrow.

    afrol News, 17 February - The World Bank has agreed to provide a US$ 2 million funding of a diamond prospering project in a Batswana game reserve, which is also the traditional homeland of Botswana's San people ("Bushmen"). San societies have earlier been evicted from their homes, human rights groups protest. Kalahari Diamonds Ltd has now obtained World Bank support to intensify it prospecting for diamonds in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, an enormous, almost unspoilt natural environ that was protected by the British ex-colonial power in 1961 to provide a living for region's marginalised indigenous population, the San people. The San, which earlier patronisingly were called "Bushmen", are a traditionally nomadic people, living as hunters and gatherers. After the Bantu people reached Southern Africa over 500 years ago, followed by white settlers, the indigenous population was pushed into the region's less fertile areas, such as the Kalahari Desert. The Game Reserve is one of the few remaining habitats and ancestral grounds of the San people.
