Extractions: Indigenous Peoples Programme For the 1993 International Year of Indigenous People, UNDP considered earmarking resources for a programme that, in full partnership with indigenous peoples aimed at the recognition of traditional knowledge and the protection of indigenous intellectual property. UNDP recognised that respecting and incorporating indigenous knowledge into development practices could prove to be an important component in reducing poverty and promoting environmental conservation for future generations. These initiatives evolved into the Indigenous Knowledge Programme (IKP). In 1994 UNDP collaborated with the Indigenous Peoples Biodiversity Network (IPBN) to create the Indigenous Knowledge Programme (IKP) with support from the International Development Research Centre , the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), the Norwegian government , and the Royal Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs . IKP is an operational framework of global scale for the conservation and promotion of indigenous knowledge. Its inception was based on regional consultations with indigenous peoples' organisations funded by UNDP.

Classroom Edition: Intellectual Property Rights Of Indigenous Peoples.
Intellectual Property Rights of indigenous peoples. productive procedure or idea underthe general title of Many Native people in south america and other parts
http://www.ammsa.com/classroom/CLASS3Intelligence.html

Extractions: University of California, Davis Major corporations, especially including chemical and biomedical organizations, are rapidly attempting to establish ownership of ever conceivable herb, herbal extract, food plant, plant fiber, productive procedure or idea under the general title of "intellectual property rights". Many Native people in South America and other parts of the world are being tricked into teaching outsiders about specific native plants which then will be registered by a non-indigenous corporation. Although there are some outsiders who are attempting to help indigenous groups, most traditional knowledge will be appropriated without any rights being vested in any indigenous groups. A lot of First Nations people are becoming very concerned. Historically, the Europeans have appropriated innumerable species of maize (corn), potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes, cacao (chocolate), peanuts, persimmons, bananas (pacobas), yucca (cassava), tapioca, chayote, jicama, papayas, etc., along with countless medical remedies such as witch-hazel, quinine, golden seal, american ginseng, and none of these items have ever been paid for. No "royalties" have ever been given to the indigenous scientists who refined these plants and medicinals over many hundreds or even thousands of years. Similarly, no one has paid for the indigenous people's invention of rubber balls and accessories, kayaks, toboggans etc.

[to top] We, the Indigenous Peoples from various regions of the world, have come to Seattle to express our great concern over how the World Trade Organization is destroying Mother Earth and the cultural and biological diversity of which we are a part. [to top] Trade liberalization and export-oriented development, which are the overriding principles and policies pushed by the WTO, are creating the most adverse impacts on the lives of Indigenous Peoples. Our inherent right to self-determination, our sovereignty as nations, and treaties and other constructive agreements which Indigenous nations and Peoples have negotiated with other nation-states, are undermined by most of the WTO Agreements. The disproportionate impact of these Agreements on our communities, whether through environmental degradation or the militarization and violence that often accompanies development projects, is serious and therefore should be addressed immediately. The WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AOA) , which promotes export competition and import liberalization, has allowed the entry of cheap agricultural products into our communities. It is causing the destruction of ecologically rational and sustainable agricultural practices of Indigenous Peoples.

http://www.pbs.org/tal/costa_rica/native.html

Extractions: GLOSSARY 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 many people also call the rainforest their home. In fact, Indigenous, or native, people have lived in rainforests for thousands of years. In North and South America they were mistakenly named Indians by Christopher Columbus, who thought that he had landed in Indonesia, then called the East Indies. Q: IN GENERAL, HOW DO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE LIVE? A: Although many Indigenous people live much like we do, some still live as their ancestors did many years before them. These groups organize their daily lives differently than our culture. Everything they need to survive, from food to medicines to clothing, comes from the forest. FOOD Besides hunting, gathering wild fruits and nuts and fishing, Indigenous people also plant small gardens for other sources of food, using a sustainable farming method called shifting cultivation. First they first clear a small area of land and burn it. Then they plant many types of plants, to be used for food and medicines. After a few years, the soil has become too poor to allow for more crops to grow and weeds start to take over. So they then move to a nearby uncleared area. This land is traditionally allowed to regrow for 10-50 years before it is farmed again.

http://www.afsc.org/news/1998/stindrte.htm

Extractions: Regarding the Rights of Indigenous Peoples of the World Decade of Indigenous Peoples January 1995 marked the beginning of the United Nations' (UN) Decade of Indigenous Peoples. This act exemplifies the increased attention being given to indigenous peoples, their rights, and their concerns within our global community. However, this attention has not come easily. Many of the more than 300 million indigenous peoples in the world face social and economic disadvantages in the countries in which they live. Some of the world's worst violations of human rights have been and continue to be committed against indigenous peoples. They have struggled to retain their languages, civic structures, lands, and spiritual life. And, despite the tenacity of those struggles, many indigenous cultures have failed to survive. As Boutros Boutros-Ghali, former Secretary General of the UN has noted, "For centuries indigenous people have lived on the margins of national and international life." It is heartening that the voices of indigenous peoples are beginning to be heard in international forums. The Decade of Indigenous Peoples has grown out of years of efforts of these peoples to have their rights and aspirations recognized as a legitimate concern of all who value human rights. The cornerstone of the Decade will be the UN's adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
