News Release: Indigenous Peoples’ Declaration released at World Summit on Sustainable Development Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat, Arctic Council, 23 August 2002 JOHANNESBURG – Indigenous Peoples have called for a World Summit on Indigenous Peoples as a follow up to the World Summit on Sustainable Development now underway in South Africa. Representatives of Indigenous organizations from nearly 50 countries met for four days in Kimberley prior to the World Summit. They heard reports from the different indigenous regions, discussed international institutions and their roles, and developed a political statement for release at the Johannesburg Summit. Indigenous delegates are attempting to influence both the Political Declaration of the Summit and to the direction of sustainable development over the next decade. Indigenous peoples are calling on states to include a line in the Political Declaration, which is: “We reaffirm the vital role of indigenous peoples in sustainable development.” Delegates from the Arctic, South America, Asia, Africa met in the homeland of the Khoi-San people. The Khoi-San, the original inhabitants of South Africa, are struggling for recognition as a distinct people within this country. They are also fighting for the return of their lands, which were taken away during the colonial and apartheid periods.

Note: this material from Encounter South Africa online magazine is posted here to illustrate issues discussed in my course "Africa:Peoples and Cultures" at Washington University. It has been brought to my attention that some people outside of this university have taken it to be "factual" anthropological information about Khoisan peoples. In fact it is presented as information about Encounter South Africa magazine, popular images of Khoisan peoples, and the uses of these images in commerce. If you have found your way to this URL expecting factual information, you probably need some remedial instruction on how to do research on the internet. G. D. Stone Related Places to visit and see.

Working Group for Indigenous Minorities of Southern Africa NEWS FLASH Elsie Vaalbooi dies at age 107 HOME OF THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN SAN THE SAN are the aboriginal people of Southern Africa. Their distinct hunter-gatherer culture stretches back over 20 000 years, and their genetic origins reach back over one million years. Recent research indicates that the San are the oldest genetic stock of contemporary humanity. TEN thousand years ago their exclussive domain stretched from the Zambezi to the Cape of Good Hope, from the Atlantic tothe Indian Oceans. THREE hundred years ago European colonists called them "untameable". Now southern Africa's 110,000 remaining San face cultural extinction, living lives of poverty on the outer edges of society. Today they struggle to win back a foothold, along with their pride, in the lands they once roamed freely. The Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa - WIMSA was established in 1996 at the request of the San in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe

TERRA.WIRE Indigenous peoples demand control of protected areas: parks congress DURBAN, South Africa (AFP) Sep 11, 2003 Indigenous peoples from across the world on Thursday demanded free access and control over the natural resources of their ancestral homes at a global environmental congress in South Africa. Some 150 indigenous groups, including the Coica community in the Amazon in South America, the San people from Botswana's Kalahari game reserve and the Katu from a national park in Indonesia, are united by a caucus that is using the fifth World Parks Congress (WPC) as a platform to plead their case. The WPC, hosted by the World Conservation Union, opened Monday and is being attended by 2,500 delegates from more than 170 countries who are discussing how to safeguard the world's 100,000 environmentally protected sites, and the conditions of communities living in these areas. The Indigenous Peoples Caucus will recommend that a resolution on the rights of communities be adopted at the congress, under way in the eastern port city of Durban, in South Africa. "We want a recognition of our rights to control the natural resources of our land and to determine developments on the land," spokeswoman Joji Carino told AFP at the 10-day congress.

This position of trust was reaffirmed through a mandate to represent several NGOs at inter-ministerial committee meetings concerned with the relocation of the Basarwa people from the Central Kgalagadi Game Reserve (CKGR) in the Western Region in 1997 and 1998. Land rights have become an increasingly important issue for the Basarwa (San) and the Centre's experiences have shown that Basarwa communities nation wide share similar human rights concerns such as unemployment, torture, poverty and dispossession. Directly linked to this position was DITSHWANELO'S investigation into the forced removal of a Basarwa community of approximately 400 people in Ngamiland, in northwestern Botswana in 1998. DITSHWANELO is a non-voting member in the negotiation team (NT) that is made up of San who are claiming their right to live in the Central Kgalagadi Game Reserve (CKGR).

71. Defining 'Indigenous People' difficult to distinguish between indigenous peoples and other Some African peoples are conventionally considered to be countries, such as the san and related http://www.nativeweb.org/info/indigenousdefined.html

Defining 'Indigenous Peoples' "There is no hard and fast distinction between indigenous peoples and other kinds of localized ethnic groups. Who then are the peoples generally considered as 'indigenous'?" David Maybury-Lewis, Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State NativeWeb strives to provide quality content by and about indigenous peoples around the world. This means that we examine suggested site links to determine whether and how they relate to indigenous peoples. The difference between 'indigenous peoples' and 'ethnic groups' or 'minority groups' is sometimes difficult to determine. NativeWeb generally tries to err on the side of inclusion in deciding whether a suggested site is suitable for the database. Nevertheless, NativeWeb must respect some limits to maintain integrity and coherence. We have found that there is a spectrum ranging from sites directly related to peoples who have the distinction of living in their own lands since 'time immemorial' [indigenous peoples] to sites that relate to groups whose only distinction is that they are marginalized in the countries where they live [minority groups]. The former we generally include; the latter we generally reject. In the middle of this spectrum are a variety of sites that require careful analysis to decide whether they are proper to include in NativeWeb. The fact that a site relates to people who are ethnically or culturally different from the 'mainstream' of the country where they live does not necessarily mean the site relates to 'indigenous peoples.'

At least 2 500 environmental experts and scientists are attending the congress, currently under way at Durban's International Convention Centre, to forge the way forward to sustain the world's protected areas. The indigenous people's coalition, comprising representatives of communities from Africa, Latin America, Canada and Northern Europe, have also issued a declaration denouncing the forced expulsion and systematic exclusion of indigenous people from their territories through the creation of protected areas and parks. The declaration calls on conservation agencies and environmental organisations to respect the internationally recognised rights of these population groups, including their inherent right to self-determination.

SITUATION REPORT: THE SAN: SOUTHERN AFRICA'S FORGOTTEN PEOPLE Chris Maroleng, May 2002 (Booker, Christopher. Sunday Telegraph; 24/02/2002 :P14) . To make things worse on 18 February 2002, it was reported that the Botswana officials had turned off essential water supplies to the San. According to the government, this became necessary because government sanctioned cattle ranching has lowered the water table, depriving the San of natural water. The government, in its defence, claims that the relocation of the San from the CKGR is essential for them to have access to sustainable state services such as health care and formal education. This is because the government insists that it cannot currently afford to provide water and other services to the San communities in the reserve even though it costs only US$3 per person per week. The position taken by the government of Botswana seems even more baffling if one considers the fact that it turned down an offer by the European Union (EU) to cover the cost of keeping the San in the CKGR. This offer was to form part of CKGR Management Plan that was signed by the Botswana government and the EU in 1996. One of the key provisions of this agreement was that the water supply to the San would not be turned of. It was on the basis of this assurance that the EU agreed to continue its long-standing support to conservation and management of wildlife resources in Botswana. The most important provision of this agreement (relating to the provision of services to San communities) would be rendered meaningless if through the cutting off of services these communities ceased to exist. As a result, the continued funding of this project by the EU stands in the balance.

The Head Heeb « From the gallery Main The party's children » September 05, 2003 Redefining indigenous peoples A group of Batwa (pygmies) from several east and central African countries are meeting in Kigali to fight discrimination in their respective homelands. The interesting part is that they are claiming rights as indigenous peoples under ILO Convention 169 as against the politically dominant Bantu majorities These rights have, until recently, been asserted almost exclusively against colonial settler populations rather than pre-colonial inhabitants. There now seems to be an increasing movement by the "first peoples" in various African regions to regard the ethnic groups who derive from the Bantu and Nilotic migrations as colonial settlers. The manifesto of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Coordinating Committee , for instance, makes clear that the "indigenous peoples" are the hunter-gatherers and pastoralists who inhabited eastern and southern Africa before the migrations. It also makes clear that the indigenous peoples' primary grievances are against the Bantu-dominated post-colonial state structures, which often do not recognize their land rights or customary laws. At times, as in the ongoing Congolese civil war, these peoples have been subjected to outright massacres; one little-recognized facet of the 1994 Rwanda genocide is that a third of the Batwa population were killed along with hundreds of thousands of Tutsis.

Poetry SANSCAPES - BUSHMEN TRIBAL RHYTHMS MEET URBAN GROOVES In Aid of the San Bushmen of Southern Africa SAN HISTORY The San Bushmen - the indigenous people of southern Africa are Africa's oldest inhabitants, having lived in the region for over twenty - five thousand years. Throughout history they thrived in one of the most hostile environments in the world, living as semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers in the arid areas of Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. Well known for their rich legacy of rock art that can be found leaping off the walls of mountain ranges across the continent, the San have strong cultural traditions that until recently remained relatively untouched. The San were first colonised over one thousand years ago by the traditionally cattle-herding Bantu tribes who moved south from mainly eastern Africa. Colonisation continued with the arrival of the Europeans who forced their way northwards from the Cape in southern Africa. These land-hungry pastoralist groups dispossessed the San of their land base and consequently their natural resources. A people once numbering millions who roamed freely across their ancestral land, the San are now approximately 100,000 strong and are dominated by pastoralists who control most of their land. It is estimated that only 10% of the present San population still have access to their former natural resources, and only 3% are currently allowed to manage their natural resources and exercise their traditional hunting rights.

Although privately owned, the Dutch East India Company was given authority by the Dutch Government to colonise territories and enslave the Indigenous people as workers. Initially, the Dutch established good relations with the Khoikhoi and San, Indigenous people living in South Africa. Most of the settlers were simply traders, so they never built permanent settlements. Even so, many of the Khoikhoi and San were used as cheap labour, in addition to slaves brought over from India and West Africa. The most immediate result of this settlement was disease and dispossession. The Europeans brought new diseases, such as smallpox and measles, to the Cape causing the deaths of many Indigenous people. Those that remained were enslaved to work as cheap labour. The growing European population also demanded more land for agriculture and development. By the early 1700s , the Khoikhoi had lost most of their land to the Boer settlers.

Indigenous Peoples of the Rainforest rainforest fact sheets printer-friendly version Spanish Portuguese German Q: Who are indigenous people? A: Tropical rainforests are bursting with life. Not only do millions of species of plants and animals live in rainforests, but people also call the rainforest their home. In fact, indigenous, or native, peoples have lived in rainforests for many thousands of years. Early accounts of these people by European explorers indicate a far denser population lived in the forest than today. Many of these original peoples, such as the Caribs (after whom the Caribbean Sea is named) have disappeared completely. Others are only scattered remnants of what they once were. However thousands of distinct ethnic groups with their own distinctive language and culture remain today in tropical rainforests around the world. Q: In general, how do they live? A: Although some indigenous people live much as we do, others still live much as did their ancestors thousands of years before them. These communities organize their daily lives differently than our culture. Their food, medicines and clothing come primarily from the forest. Q: Do the children go to school?

He is one of the few San youth with education, a job and a future. The estimated 50,000 San in Botswana are "the poorest of the poor", says Alice Mogwe, head of Ditshwanelo, the Centre for Human Rights. Botswana is rich in diamonds and cattle, with a population of just 1.6 million. But as an ethnic minority, the San experience both poverty and allegedly discrimination. They are called "Basarwa" (those who don't raise cattle, in the Tswana language), a term they feel is demeaning.
