President Speech at the Geneva, August 1st 1996 Meeting of the UN Decade for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Madam Chairperson,
Ladies and gentlemen members of the office,
Dear friends representative of Indigenous Peoples,
Hello!
My name is Mabrouk Ferkal and I am president of the "Congrès Mondial Amazigh" (CMA). In name of the CMA, I would like to thank the organisers of this session of the UN Decade for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples for the invitation. Our organisation has its place among you since it has the honour of representing the Indigenous People of Northern Africa, Imazighen (the Berbers).
Our organisation is participating for the first time in the already established Working Group for Indigenous Peoples. Despite its creation less than one year ago, it has this opportunity because its Parisian headquarters allowed us to have easy access to information, which is not the case for berber association based in Northern Africa and the Sahel.
Concerning this matter, we must draw your attention to the fact that the North-African governments did not make any efforts to spread information, in particular to the Berber associations, on the Decade of Indigenous Peoples. This explains the absence of Berber associations among the Working Group and shows, once more, the will of these States to pursue their politics of assimilation of the Berber People. We regret the attitude of the North-African States and are asking you to intervene with their governments and to require that the necessary be done so that the Decade can be celebrated by the Berber People, and to enable the associations which defend the linguistic, cultural and identity rights to participate in the coming sessions of the Working Group.

Published on Wednesday, May 9, 2001 by the Inter Press Service Defending Indigenous Cultures against Globalization by Kintto Lucas PANAMA CITY, May 8 - Indigenous leaders from around the world are gathered this week in the Panamanian capital, where they have launched a global appeal to defend their traditions against the imposition of mass culture they contend is inherent in the globalization process. Delegates to the First Millennium Conference of Indigenous Peoples discussed in the Monday plenary session the progress their communities have made in development since 1994, the year marking the start of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples, declared by the United Nations. The approximately 200 native leaders also deliberated the creation of a Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples within the UN system, as well as the economic and cultural impacts of globalization in their communities, and mechanisms to ensure respect for indigenous rights. Tuesday saw the reinforcement of the common stance the world's native peoples will take at the UN World Conference against Racism and Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, to take place this September in Durban, South Africa.

Respect, equality, responsibility
he Partnerships Department consists of 14 staff who work at building relationships based on respect, equality, mutual responsibility and interdependence among Anglicans and other Christians, in Canada and internationally, in the three program areas: Partners in Mission, Indigenous Issues and EcoJustice.
Partnerships was created in June 1995. The name of the department highlights the importance of how the program work of General Synod is undertaken. Our work is to link and bridge, establishing and nurturing relationships with the many constituent levels of the church at home, and abroad, both within the Anglican Communion and also ecumenically. We also reach out to justice-seeking groups in the wider society. Partners in Mission
The core mandate of Partners in Mission is to strengthen our church's mission partnerships throughout the worldwide Anglican Communion.
We believe that the primary responsibility for mission always rests with the local church, but also, that all of us are called to assist each other in meeting our local mission challenges. This involves both giving and receiving, in the spirit of mutual responsibility and interdependence.
At the international level, we have three Regional Mission Coordinators, with responsibility for mission partnerships in the regions of Africa/Middle East, Asia/Pacific and Latin America/Caribbean, respectively.

Santiago, Chile
December 5-7, 2000
Statement by Ambassador E. Michael Southwick
United States of America
We have gathered here in Santiago to reaffirm the basic, universally recognized principle of equality among individuals and peoples and to reject any practice or theory that elevates one group of people over another. The right to be free from discrimination flows to us all on the basis of our status as human beings. Nowhere is this principle better stated than in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. In addressing the fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in this forum, particularly the right of indigenous peoples to be free from discrimination on the basis of their status as indigenous, we should avoid undue emphasis on issues being addressed in detail in inclusive processes in other fora. In Geneva, we are engaged in discussions in the working group established in accordance with UN Human Rights Commission resolution 1995/32 in an effort to recognize international human rights standards of indigenous peoples. The US has stated in various fora that it supports a strong, unambiguous Declaration, one that sets the base for guaranteeing the rights of indigenous people, one that recognizes and respects the cultural diversity and contributions that indigenous peoples bring to our respective countries, region and to the world.

Once We Were Hunters: A Journey With Africa's Indigenous People
Paul Weinberg
Paperback R150-00
ISBN: 0-86486-371-3
170x245mm, 176 pages
With the independence of Africa's nations, the network of parks set up by the colonial regimes has remained largely intact, but a more utilitarian approach has been instigated and nurtured in recent years. The ownership of land and wildlife has been restored to indigenous peoples, and commercial initiatives have been set up in numerous places. It is now seen as essential to involve local communities in the management of wildlife parks and, more importantly, in the distribution of funds from tourism practices. In many parts of the continent, agricultural and economic potential is low, yet properly managed wildlife resources have the potential to create prosperous local economies. In this compelling new book, nine African writers - many of them from rural communities themselves - explore the background, initiatives and progress of community-wildlife projects in six different countries. As global travellers seek out Africa's wild places, and camps and lodges spring up, the concept of joint management and shared benefits is more widely heard than practised. But are people really benefitting from tourism initiatives?

    Thabisa Bata, Secretary and Mandisi Aplom, Coordinator, Ginsburg Youth Council 'We have the chance to see anew the problems of our peoples', Dr.Xolela Mangcu, Executive Director of the Steve Biko Foundation said on 8 July. In this respect the Learning from the Past, Thinking about the Future conference represented the beginning of new dialogues between South African and Australian indigenous peoples. The conference explored the terms on which there could be a closer working relationship between Indigenous Australia and the philanthropic and corporate community. 'The issue is to escape the strait jacket of our colonial past', Dr. Mangcu said. 'The cultural base of our people has been under assault and this is what above all we must recapture'. 'The language of results is not the answer because it denies the importance of recapturing our culture, identity and memories which bore the full assault of colonialism'. The key challenge economically is to develop a situation in which the economic institutions we develop do not create dependency.

    Indigenous Peoples and Protected Areas in Africa:
    From Principles to Practice
    Conference held in Kigali, Rwanda,
    4-7 September 2001
    Background
    In Africa one million square kilometres have been designated as conservation areas. Under the ‘classic’ model of conservation, in which human presence is deemed incompatible with wildlife, local communities have been forcibly removed from conservation areas, resulting in loss of self-respect, culture and access to vital resources, and in social and economic marginalisation as well as impoverishment and destruction of age-old mechanisms for managing natural resources. New internationally-agreed conservation principles have been developed recognising the rights of indigenous peoples to the use, ownership and control of their traditional territories. However, implementation of this approach is lagging behind. The majority of communities affected by conservation continue to suffer impoverishment, lack of access to resources and cultural collapse.
    Conference
    As part of a two-year project, funded by the UK’s Community Fund, to support a dialogue between African indigenous peoples and conservation bodies, FPP in conjuction with CAURWA (Communauté des Autochtones Rwandais) held an international conference in Kigali in September 2001. This event brought together for the first time representatives of indigenous communities, African conservation managers and staff, and members of indigenous peoples’ support organisations. The conference provided a forum in which indigenous peoples from seven African countries presented their own case studies documenting the impacts of conservation projects on their lands and livelihoods. The discussion of each of these situations generated new insights into the issues and provided a constructive basis for much-needed future collaboration between affected communities and conservation agencies.

    In his presentation to the conference, Belcourt stated: "We are a people; one of the Aboriginal peoples recognized in Canada's constitution. Unfortunately, this recognition is as far as it goes. Our right of self-determination is ignored. Indeed, our very existence as a people is denied by the country of Canada and, in particular, the Province of Ontario despite constitutional recognition. This is a denial of a basic human right and therefore a violation of the international covenants signed by Canada."
    The MNC also played a key role at the conference regarding the participation of Indigenous Peoples in the process of drafting the "Declaration and Action plan" which is being prepared for the conference in South Africa. Tony tabled an intervention on behalf of all Indigenous Peoples present to request that the drafting process be opened to them. Following the intervention, although no formal response was made by the end of the conference to the request, the doors to the drafting committee rooms were opened to Indigenous representatives to allow them to observe. This enabled them to intervene privately with delegates of the various states at the drafting table.

    Notes from South Africa
    February 15-28, 1999
    By Jack Shepherd FSP, Director
    The final field research project took place in South Africa. The Dartmouth students and FSP directors flew from Harare to Johannesburg which was actually cheaper than riding 16 hours on a bus and were met at the airport by Prof. Albert van Jaarsveld, Chair of the Department of Zoology and Entomology at the University of Pretoria and the new Director of the Center for Environmental Studies, also at U of P. We all loaded into two vans and two 4x4 vehicles and off we went. We also took time to go out on a night game drive and to study the night sky in the Southern Hemisphere. Almost all of us can now identify the Southern Cross and find "due south" much as we know the Big Dipper and can find the North Star. We're also getting used to the "summer" sun rising and tracking across the north, from which (in this hemisphere) comes our warm days. From Kruger we went on to Badplaas, a warm-springs town near Swaziland. On the way out of Kruger, however, we paused to watch a leopard up in a tree. It was straddling a large limb, legs limp on either side of the branch with its tail hanging down, head on a paw, sound asleep. At Badplaas, we undertook some field research on grassland fragmentation and the impact of tree farming (a large industry in South Africa) on small rodents. Some of the students and one of the directors also laid field traps for mice to count rodents in a grassland ecology. From Badplaas we went to the coast and the students got their first swims in the Indian Ocean. The beaches here are pure white sand and the water is aqua-blue. Our tasks here were to observe and understand the coastal ecology, especially the interplay between the sand forests, wildlife (especially elephants) and the local indigenous communities. I must admit that one of the restful highlights, after nights of tenting, came at Blackrock Beach an empty crescent beach about a mile long, white sand, blue sea, black rock outcropping and a cove full of porpoises, a sting ray, and rocks covered with varieties of crabs.

    The Struggle for Survival
    Working towards Cultural Survival
    One block off Broadway in Cambridge, Massachusetts, between Sal's Auto-Body Shop and Taco Bell, sits a one-story office building. A large sign that reads "Cultural Survival" adorns one of the window fronts for all to see. But few pedestrians who gaze at the sign comprehend the importance of the group with such a catchy, curious name. Cultural Survival (CS) voices the concerns of indigenous peoples around the globe through its research, education, and award-winning publication, the CSQuarterly. Who are indigenous peoples, and what are some of the struggles they face today? Indigenous peoples are the original inhabitants of a territory (read the United Nations definition for a more comprehensive description), and their struggles for survival stretch back 500 years. From 1350 to as late as 1950, Europeans imposed their language, religion, and culture on the original inhabitants of regions all across the world. This colonization brought loss of land, identity, and culture to indigenous groups. For example, 75 percent of North America's native population died from violence and disease after the arrival of Christopher Columbus. "It wasn't just the culture that died," says Guillermo Meza, from the Foreign Language and Literatures Department at the University of Nevada. "It was the people that died, too."
