Parallel and Side Events Contents Page Results of the indigenous peoples' summit on sustainable development Presented by TEBTEBBA Foundation (Indigenous Peoples' International Center for Policy Research and Education) Oren Lyons, Onondaga Nation, noted that the Indigenous Summit on Sustainable Development, held in Kimberley prior to the WSSD, was the culmination of many years’ struggle for recognition of indigenous rights. He reviewed some of the milestones achieved over the past decades, including the Rio Conventions' focus on indigenous peoples, expressed concern that the WSSD would address mainly economic issues, and urged States to employ "longer and broader visions." Lucy Mulenkei, Indigenous Information Network, noted that over 300 participants attended the Kimberley Conference to produce a clear declaration, and called upon governments to take note of the indigenous peoples' concerns and foster change. Mulenkei expressed hope for full recognition of indigenous rights within the next 10 years. Jean Burgess, National Khoi-San Consultative Conference, called for recognition of the Khoi-San peoples as the first peoples of South Africa, and of their traditional land rights. He drew attention to the fact that remains of ancient Khoi-San peoples are kept in educational institutions and museums, and noted that 90% of the Khoi-San peoples are unable to speak their mother tongue. Burgess called for recognition of the Khoi-San language as an offical langue in South Africa.

Front Page Encyclopedias Dictionaries Almanacs ... Quotes Indigenous people Indigenous people is a term applied to what explorers and anthropologists, especially from Europe, used to call "primitive tribes". The latter term has fallen into disfavor as being demeaning and, according to anthropologists, inaccurate (see tribe, cultural evolution). Generally, the term refers to the people living in an area prior to European colonization, and to their descendents. It may also apply to people living in an area prior to the formation of a nation-state, but who do not belong to the dominant nation of a nation-state. By the 17th century, indigenous peoples were commonly labeled "uncivilized". Critics of civilization, such as J.J. Rousseau , considered them to be "noble savages"; proponents of civilization, like T. Hobbes , considered them merely savages. Such proponents of civilization believed themselves to have a duty to civilize and modernize them. After World War I, however, many Europeans came to doubt the value of civilization. At the same time, the anti-colonial movement, and advocates of indigenous peoples, argued that words such as "civilized" and "savage" were products and tools of colonialism, and argued that colonialism itself was savagely destructive. In the mid 20th century, Europeans began to recognize that indigenous and tribal peoples should have the right to decide for themselves what should happen to their ancient cultures and their ancestral lands. Various organizations are devoted to the preservation or study of tribes, such as

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.

Newsfront UNDP Administrator sees Mozambique's recovery from floods Wednesday, 5 September 2001: Mozambique's Gaza Province, hit hard by floods that drove 233,000 people from their homes last year and suffering more flood damage this year, is rebuilding with outside assistance, UNDP Administrator Mark Malloch Brown reported following a visit to the area last week. The Administrator, accompanied by Abdoulie Janneh, UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Regional Director for Africa, met with President Joaquim Chissano and other leaders during his visit on 27 - 29 August. The Administrator said that the "overwhelming impression" from his visit to Gaza "is that normal life has been restored and sensible improvements have been made." The recovery efforts have moved many villages from flood-prone areas to higher ground, rebuilt government infrastructure and improved water supply systems. Mr. Malloch Brown co-chaired the donor conference in Rome in May 2000, where donors promised over US$ 450 million to support flood recovery. Thus far, $360 million has been disbursed. The donors' response to the 2000 floods "was remarkable and showed confidence in the country," he said.

South Africa We have also been asked to facilitate a Lawyers Reference Group on Indigenous Land Claims. Membership is open to any lawyer who is acting in an indigenous land claim case and current membership includes ten lawyers. The project involves an on-going seminar consisting of four workshops which encourage essential dialogue between San communities, their organizations and their legal counsel. This will provide a much needed forum for an exchange of ideas on strategy and research, development of a concrete plan of action for some cases and technical and moral support, thereby ensuring that all participants are aware of the best practices in this area of the law. In the past year, we have also completed networking trips to Zimbabwe, Namibia, and South Africa. In the next year, we are planning networking trips to San communities and NGOs in Zambia and Kenya. In addition to providing further information about the region in general, these networking trips allow us to expand our contact network. For example, during the networking trip to Zimbabwe, we met with several environmental organizations that we have now approached to assist the San of Namibia in establishing community-owned, natural resource conservancies.
