home Communication from the of the International Alliance of the Indigenous-Tribal Peoples of the Tropical Forests to the Commission on Sustainable Development: Rome 10 March 1995 Distinguished members of the Commission of Sustainable Development, In 1992, delegates of the indigenous organisations of the continents of Asia, America and Africa met for the first time in Penang , Malaysia, decided to form an International Alliance of the Indigenous-Tribal Peoples of the Tropical Forests, based on a well-founded concern from observing the accelerated and progressive destruction of the forests in our ancestral territories. The Alliance provides a forum for dialogue and the agreement of policies on the future of our territories, the resources within them and our fundamental rights, issues which is the theme that international organisations and governments are discussing at the moment, with the aim of exploiting and profiting from them without any consultation and participation by we who are their owners. International instruments and agreements, such as the ILO's Convention No 169, Agenda 21 and the Convention on Biodiversity refer vaguely to the need to consult indigenous peoples and allow their direct participation in the development of plans, policies and programmes regarding forests and other natural resources in our territories.

Sorry to the Peoples of the world that the Australian government for the last fifty years failed to implement the Genocide Convention. How many other countries are there like this? Who are they and why has this situation been tolerated so long? Let's be serious about this matter. Member States either join up or they must be thrown out. A prerequisite to be a member State of the United Nations must include full compliance with the Genocide Convention. Personal accountability is a powerful force for change. UBUNTU! UBUNTU! UBUNTU! I call for unity among Indigenous Peoples and UN member States to address this insult to humanity.

The Front Indigenous Unite INDIGENOUS AND TRIBAL PEOPLES from tropical forests around the world have united to create a new alliance to confront the destruction of their territories and forests. Representatives from forest-dwelling communities in the Americas, Asia and Africa formed the "International Alliance of the Indigenous-Tribal Peoples of the Tropical Forests" at a conference held in Penang, Malaysia from February 12 to 15, 1992. The conference also adopted a "Charter of the Indigenous-Tribal Peoples of the Tropical Forests." The historic new alliance unites for the first time Indians from Amazonia, Central America and the southern cone of South America, "pygmies" from Africa, tribal peoples from India and Thailand, indigenous peoples from the Philippines , "Orang Asli" and Dayak peoples from Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo, indigenous peoples from Indonesia, as well as Melanesian peoples from New Guinea. The new alliance is needed, say the forest-dwelling peoples, to confront those who are responsible for destroying their forests and undermining their livelihoods and who are already united and organized. A new unity among the peoples of the tropical forests is needed to ensure that their rights are respected in international policymaking regarding the rainforests. The Charter, which sets out the allianceÆs demands, goals and principles, advocates a new approach to development and conservation in the tropical forests based on securing the rights of the forestsÆ original inhabitants.

My name is Sheila Watt-Cloutier. I am President of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference Canada, and Vice-President of ICC. I am joined this week by Chief Robert Charlie representing Yukon First Nations, Paul Okalik, Premier of the Government of Nunavut, and Larissa Abroutina, Vice-President of the Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North. Looking at the view of ice forming on Frobisher Bay from my home in Iqaluit, and the warm Indian ocean north of Durban last week, solidified my thinking on the POPs convention. We still have a significant effort ahead to conclude a global POPs convention. But much has already been accomplished. There is a general understanding of the issues and a consensus on what to do about them. Let me remind you that Arctic indigenous peoples are hunting cultures. We eat what we hunt, as the recent BBC World story vividly shows. This story has surprised some – that we would eat animals raw – but this is our reality that we have presented to you for the last two years. I hope our message – ensuring our health and cultural survival – is getting through.

I invite others who were present at the conference to correct anything I've reported incorrectly and to add their own comments and perspectives on the conference in the Talking Circle under "A Just and Lasting Reconciliation." Satsan described how their efforts to reconcile through a negotiation process either failed or that process was not available, and so they were forced to turn to the courts to get affirmation of their legal interest in the land. He said the treaty process in BC was in a stall, partly because of the narrow mandate of the Crown, "requiring us to give up 95% of who we are and the land for a 5% solution." Reconciliation doesn't mean we have to give up anything, he said; neither group has to give up land. Reconciliation means a shift in mind, and means that Aboriginal people have as much responsibility as anyone. We need to put a new memory in the minds of the children, he said, not just our pain, despair, helplessness or hopelessness, but a memory of a people who are successful, proud, healthy, our own heroes. He quoted Bob Marley's "Redemption" song: "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery" and concluded with the statement that "no one but us can free our minds."

JOHANNESBURG - Latin American indigenous leaders issued a warning prior to the World Summit on Sustainable Development, which met until Sep 4 in South Africa: the voice of the indigenous will be ignored. Their prediction proved correct. Ten years ago, at the Earth Summit, in Rio de Janeiro, the Latin American indigenous movement made important strides in achieving recognition of their rights That year, the Nobel Peace Prize went to an indigenous leader for the first time: Rigoberta Menchú. The Indigenous Peoples Decade was declared and the United Nations created a permanent forum on indigenous peoples. In contrast, during the Rio+10 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, which was to serve as a follow-up on the Rio agreements, indigenous groups were scarcely present, had limited influence on the negotiations, and were ignored by the media.

72. Voice Of Indigenous Peoples - A Book Review By Scott London United Nations Draft Declaration of indigenous peoples Rights made by the nineteenindigenous representatives describe rich from our forests, we are condemned http://www.scottlondon.com/reviews/ewen.html

VOICE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES Native People Address the United Nations Edited by Alexander Ewen Clear Light Publishers, 1994, 176 pages In their own way, each of the book's sections shed light on the global nature of the plight facing indigenous people: the disappearance of diversity and traditional ways of life, ecological degradation, repression of native rights movements, and the loss of vital knowledge about how to live in harmony with the environment. The statements made by the nineteen indigenous representatives describe these issues with examples drawn from their own cultures. Anderson Muutang Urud of the Kelabit tribe of Sarawak, Malaysia, points out that his people have lost their native forest lands to logging companies. "Our lives are threatened by company goons," he says. "Our women are being raped by loggers who invade our villages. While the companies get rich from our forests, we are condemned to live in poverty and eventual genocide." Davi Yanomami of the Yanomami tribe of the Amazon Valley describes the invasion of garimpeiros (gold miners) who not only ravage their lands but exploit his people and spread disease. Thomas Banyacya, a Native American Hopi elder, talks about the costs to his people of the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974 which mandated the removal of Navajos and Hopis from their native lands, ostensibly to resolve conflicting claims to land between the two groups, but largely as a result of pressure by mining and energy industries.

IDRC Resources Books Reports ... Vol.21, No.1 Indigenous Peoples Test the Waters by Neale MacMillan After years of suffering the effects of contaminated water, the Cree Nation of Split Lake, Manitoba has proven that remote communities can restore water quality without relying on expensive and distant laboratories. The success of the IDRC-sponsored project in Split Lake holds great promise for any community in the developing world where simple, inexpensive and reliable tests for water quality are needed. Perhaps more importantly, the project proves that new technologies can be mastered by communities possessing only modest technical training. The Split Lake experience reflects increasing interest in indigenous communities across Canada in joining Western science with traditional knowledge to solve environmental health problems such as water quality. For almost 10 years, IDRC has been supporting a research network in developing countries to create simplified water quality testing technologies (See below ). These technologies were proven to work when tested by trained field and laboratory technicians. But could local people in these countries do it themselves? For Dr Gilles Forget, Director of Health, Society and the Environment at IDRC, the basic question was: "Can we transfer this know-how to the community?"

We examine current debates within the United Nations about indigenous peoples and human rights. We take a look at law and economics of colonialism and emerging issues of globalization. We explore the relationship of law and custom. Reading materials include fiction and non-fiction approaches to these themes.
