Related Links Indigenous peoples inhabit nearly 20 per cent of the planet, mainly in areas where they have lived for thousands of years. Compared with protected area managers, who control about 6 per cent of the world's land mass, indigenous peoples are the earth's most important stewards. During more than three decades of conservation work, WWF has been approached by many indigenous and rural communities seeking collaboration on issues like protected area management and the conservation of natural resources. Notable amongst them are the Hupa Indians of northern California, the Inuit of Isabella Bay in Canada, the Zoque Indians of Mexico, the Karen of Thailand, the Shona people in Zimbabwe, the Kuna of Panama, the Shimshali of Pakistan, the Phoka people of northern Malawi, the Imagruen of Mauritania, the Ewenk of Siberia, and many others scattered all over the globe. WWF is, or has recently been, working with indigenous peoples in all regions of the world: in Europe, Latin America, North America, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa.

We reaffirm the Afrolatinamerican and Caribbean Alliance, created in San Jose, Costa Rica in September 2000, as an articulation of afro-descendent NGOs endowed with the legitimacy to represent and defend the interests of the afro-descendents of the American Continent and of the Caribbean in the preparatory process of the WCR convened by the UN in Durban, South Africa. We recognise the advances made during the NGO forum and the American States Consultation carried out in Santiago de Chile on 1st and 7th December, especially the recognition of slavery as an inhuman (sic) crime and the moral, ethical and economic duty of the States to stop the damage and its consequences.

Indigenous Peoples
are the original inhabitants of many countries. We are also called the first peoples, first nations, aboriginal peoples and tribal peoples.
How many? Where do we live?
Indigenous peoples number about 300 million in more than 70 countries. We are found on all five continents from the Arctic, to the Amazon from the Sahara to Australia . We include the Native Americans, the Inuit of the circumpolar region (Canada, Alaska, Greenland), the Saami of Northern Europe (Norway, Sweden, Finland) and the Maori of Aoteoroa (New Zealand).
The majority of the world's Indigenous peoples, more than 150 million live in Asia, in countries such as Bangladesh, Burma, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Phillipines, Sri Lanka and Thailand . Around 30 million indigenous peoples live in Latin America . In Bolivia, Guatemala and Peru, Indigenous peoples make up over half the population.
In Australia the Indigenous population numbers over 315,000 Aboriginal peoples and 29,000 Torres Strait Islanders, according to the 1996 Census. Within the Aboriginal population there are 250 distinct cultural groups, including the Yolngu from Arnhem Land (my own people), the Wiradjuri of south eastern Australia, the Yamatji in Western Australia, the Kalkadoons of northern Queensland, the Anangu from Central Australia and the Palawas from Tasmania.

Indigenous Peoples and Global Governance:
Special Report for Rio+5 Process The World Council of Indigenous Peoples - Conrado Jorge Valiente The following report on Indigenous Peoples and Global Governance has been put together with great effort. A literature search was done, as were consultations with Indigenous experts in different parts of the world. A primary aim was to highlight the process open to Indigenous Peoples to participate in different activities of the international arena and, especially, to call attention to those aspects that continue to be a priority for our Peoples. Towards this end, the intent is also to open discussion on ethical issues which are important to consider relating to the lands and territories of Indigenous Peoples. These include issues surrounding the exploration for and extraction of natural resources and, in particular, investment and development activities known as mega-projects. We consider this work part of the discussions which have been on-going among different sectors of civil society, Indigenous Peoples and Governments. The intent is that this work will help to increase comprehension and perception regarding the hopes and contributions of Indigenous Peoples and the global process to restore the health of the land.

Historical Synopsis of the Sami/United Nations Relationship
by Christian Jakob Burmeister Hicks CHAPTERS: Previous Chapter Next Chapter Future Implications Saami political leaders continue to view the United Nations as am important step towards greater self-determination. In 1998, the Norwegian Saami Parliament published their three year plan for future actions. This document outlined the importance of continued work with ILO 169 and the United Nation’s WGIP. (Norske Sametinget, 1998, 48-50) In addition, Anne Nourgam, President of the Saami Council pointed out in 2001, “ We Saami also work side by side with other indigenous peoples. We are deeply committed to fighting for the human rights of indigenous peoples collectively. This is demonstrated through our on-going and continuous work at the United Nations and other international fora.” (Sami Council, 2001)

Summer Seminars and Institutes In response to NEH's We the People initiative, an undergraduate college offers a four-week institute for twenty-five school teachers on the constitutional tradition in the American states. The project takes the viewpoint that state constitutions are changing reflections of a state's social and economic transformations and its political history. The institute's program addresses the concept of the "complete constitution," involving state, federal, and tribal levels; traditions of constitutional design; constitutional successes and failures; and the impact of state constitutions on public and private life. During the institute the participants read a variety of historical sources, including colonial charters, state constitutions from the 18th through the 20th centuries, national constitutional documents, influential commentaries like The Federalist , and important court cases, as well as works of current scholarship. In addition to the project director, a leading authority on American constitutionalism, the institute includes a visiting faculty of political scientists, historians, and legal scholars. The program features lecture and discussion sessions, field trips, and work by the participants on teaching projects relating to the own state constitutions; a master teacher assists the participants with their projects. The project uses a website for dissemination of teaching materials and post-institute communication. A scholar of medieval and Renaissance Italy conducts a six-week seminar for fifteen school teachers on St. Francis of Assisi, using the writings of Saint Francis himself as well as several early biographies including that by Saint Bonaventure. In addition to studying Franciscan legend and tradition as it was shaped by writers and artists of the thirteenth century, the participants study modern scholarship that seeks to define the influence of Saint Francis on European religious life and thought. The seminar is held in Rome, Siena, and Assisi, giving participants access to numerous churches where the saint and his legend were represented in murals and paintings. Participants' individual projects explore the many dimensions of the saint's legacy, including his view of nature, his early contribution to poetry in the Italian vernacular, his intellectual influence on major writers including Dante, and his redefinition of spirituality in Christian tradition.

Statement of the American Friends Service Committee
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.

Summary

Eboga

- the ancient, perennial religion of Eboga,
- initiation into the religion for people of both sexes and all ages through taking Tabernathe iboga,
- the development of a treatment methodology by experienced practitioners,
to guarantee a maximum of safety whilst taking Eboga,
remembering that what is good for indigenous populations is not necessarily good for all peoples.........
For many years, both Europeans and Africans taking Eboga have realised that the Bwiti religion, whether Mitsogho or Fang, deals with the healing of the spirit. And, as such, constantly re-adapts it's powers to the mythologies and archetypes of whatever culture uses it. And that in Europe we have lost this type of knowledge, to our great detriment, sometime during the years of the Inquisition, or perhaps at the hands of the Carthans.
It's in this spirit that in 1995 we began to look at, with the help of the Cameroon Bwiti, the possibility of adapting the essence of the Eboga experience, that it might be brought into more widespread usage amongst the peoples of the West. In doing this, we drew heavily on the experience and knowledge of the artists and intellectuals of the Cameroon, to ensure our work would be free of ethnocentric limitations.
>From then on, we have worked closely with a Cameroon Bwiti chapel, agreeing that our objective should be to take inspiration from the initiation ritual. But, in order that the

Human history is part of natural history. Human beings arose via their
interactions with nature.
Human society developed out of animal social organisation. Active social forces continue to act like natural ones. Their blindness and destructiveness merely reproduce the logic of evolution in the natural world. However, as society gives rise to class divisions, the human population ceases to be the unit of adaptation. ``Thereafter'', write biologists Richard Levins and Richard Lewontin, ``each regular interaction of people in a given culture with nature is determined by the interests of the different social classes in their conflictive or cooperative relations with each other''.

    This paper was originally produced in 1992, prior to the INTERNET and the explosion of information it has engendered. In updating it, I have tried to create links to online materials on indigenous peoples rights under international law. This paper is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to information on indigenous people. It is meant to be a guide to researching international law and indigenous peoples rights. Since this paper was finished, S James Anaya has published an excellent treatise on this area
