Extractions: Home Statement made by the Indigenous Peoples Caucus (IPC) at the Bali, Indonesia, 4th Preparatory Meeting of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). All major stakeholder groups were requested to submit a paragraph that would be submited to the Prep Com IV Chair for development as a overall Political Declaration going to Johannesburg. - Tom G., IEN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES POLITICAL DECLARATION PrepCom IV, Indonesia, Bali, 6 June 2002 The Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, Asia, Pacific, Africa, Europe and the Arctic region, present here reaffirm the Kari-oca Declaration of Indigenous Peoples signed at Rio in 1992 and Agenda 21. United in one voice, we express our collective views on the proposed WSSD Programme of Action and Political Declaration. Indigenous Peoples have consistently called for international recognition of our rights as a pre-condition for our empowerment for sustainable development. We reaffirm that self-determination and sustainable development are two sides of the same coin. We underline our inherent rights to: Indigenous Peoples have something to offer the world in this equation for survival. We call for a World Conference on Indigenous Peoples and Sustainable Development as a culmination to the UN Decade for Indigenous Peoples (1995-2004) and as a concrete follow-up to the World Summit on Sustainable Development. Indigenous Peoples consider this conference as necessary, to develop a concrete programme of action, embodying WSSD outcomes and concrete partnerships together with governments, regional bodies, the United Nations, international organisations and others in civil society.
Extractions: Opening the discussion, a representative of the United Nations Scientific, Educational and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) observed that millions of children continued to be taught in languages they did not use or even understand. She added that the participation of indigenous peoples in designing curricula was still limited, and education still fell short of eliminating prejudice and discrimination targeted at indigenous peoples. A representative of the Ainu Association of Hokkaido said Ainu children were at a much higher risk of dropping out of school due to the discrimination, which could be addressed by teaching Ainu culture and history in public schools to both Japanese and Ainu children. At present, Ainu children were deprived of the opportunity to take pride in their indigenous background, which hindered their identification with the Ainu culture and history.

The meeting in Bali in June ended in deadlock on a wide range of issues. As these analyses indicate, substantive agreement on these issues in Johannesburg would require new willingness on the part of the U.S. in particular to respond to the concerns of developing countries. Most observers therefore rate the chances of breakthroughs at the official summit at slim to none.

Extractions: In reflecting on the articles that comprise this special issue, I am struck by how this ensemble is indicative of a significant shift in anthropology. As recently as the mid-1980s, it would have been hard to imagine a special issue of Ethnohistory Whereas many early studies of tourism were predominantly concerned with evaluating the impact of foreign guests on indigenous hosts or with examining tourism as a possible passport to development, the studies presented here avoid what Robert Wood (1980) has characterized as simplistic "billiard ball" models of tourism, where tourism is conceptualized as an external force, striking and jostling stationary indigenous cultures. [End Page 567] Instead, many of the articles in this issue appear to share a more sophisticated view of these tourist-scrutinized cultures, a view...

Extractions: Kari-Oca Declaration, Brazil, 30 May 1992 We the Indigenous Peoples of the World assembled here reaffirm the Kari-Oca Declaration and the Indigenous Peoples' Earth Charter. We again reaffirm our previous declarations on human and environmental sustainability.* Since 1992 the ecosystems of the earth have been compounding in change. We are in crisis. We are in an accelerating spiral of climate change that will not abide unsustainable greed. Today we reaffirm our relationship to Mother Earth and our responsibility to coming generations to uphold peace, equity and justice. We continue to pursue the committments made at Earth Summit as reflected in this political declaration and the accompanying plan of action. The commitments which were made to Indigenous Peoples in Agenda 21, including our full and effective participation, have not been implemented due to the lack of political will. As peoples, we reaffirm our rights to self-determination and to own, control and manage our ancestral lands and territories, waters and other resources. Our lands and territories are at the core of our existence - we are the land and the land is us; we have a distinct spiritual and material relationship with our lands and territories and they are inextricably linked to our survival and to the preservation and further development of our knowledge systems and cultures, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem management.

Extractions: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES CAUCUS STATEMENT FOR THE MULTI-STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUE ON GOVERNANCE, PARTNERSHIPS AND CAPACITY-BUILDING PrepCom IV, WSSD, Bali, Indonesia 27 May 2002 The themes covered by our multi-stakeholder dialogue this week are those at the very heart of the social and ecological crisis, and the problems of sustainable development. So while I share with all of us here an appreciation of our beautiful surroundings, it is a deep contradiction to be making policy decisions about poverty and environmental degradation amidst the most luxurious of settings. This is a stark contrast to indigenous territories contaminated by mining, deforested landscapes and polluted environments which are the legacy of modern development to our peoples and the Earth. And yet, the Chairmans Paper, representing the negotiated agreements by governments, promises our peoples more of the same mining, energy-production and privatisation of water and social services, this time labelled as poverty eradication and sustainable development. Our efforts to prepare statements, engage in dialogue, and prepare text at the earlier preparatory meetings have not resulted in substantive commitments and language which will improve the lives and well-being of indigenous peoples. Indeed, the implementation plan before us today takes a few steps back from the commitments made in Rio Principle 22 and Chapter 26 of Agenda 21 on Recognizing and Strengthening the role of Indigenous People and their Communities.

Parks And People In africa millions of people have been displaced to create protected areas; The great majority of these are owned or claimed by indigenous peoples. http://www.fern.org/pubs/ngostats/parks.htm
Extractions: Saskia Ozinga World Rainforest Movement / FERN 3 September 2003 Based mainly on information from the Forest Peoples Programme ( www.forestpeoples.org ) and world rainforest movement (www.wrm.org.uy) Nobody knows how many people have been displaced for national parks or protected areas. In Africa millions of people have been displaced to create protected areas; statistics for Asia are lacking but one research estimates that as many as 600,000 tribal people in India alone have been displaced by protected areas; in Latin America an estimated 85% of parks is inhabited. "W e were chased out on the first day. I didn't know anything was happening until the police ran into my compound. They all had guns. They shouted at me, told me to run. I had no chance to say anything. They came at us and we ran, they came so violently. I was frightened for the children - I had eight children with me - but we just ran off in all directions. I took my way and the children took theirs. Other people were running, panicking, even picking up the wrong children in the confusion. I lost everything. I had 31 cows and some goats and hens. They were killed - 20 cows were killed and the rest taken. They burned everything, even the bed and furniture and the kitchen. We're poor now". This testimony was collected in Uganda by an Oxfam worker from Joy Ngoboka, who along with thousands of others was evicted from her home in order to provide a way for elephants to travel safely between national parks. The establishment of the so-called Kibale Game Corridor was supported by the European Union, NORAD and the World Bank.

Yet the big question among public interest participants here is not how to solve the world's woes, but rather whether they should participate at all. Try crossing these guards. Photo: IISD Cynicism is running high among nonprofit representatives. They arrived in Bali frustrated with the lack of progress in the 10 years since the World Summit's predecessor, the Rio Earth Summit of 1992. As the negotiations proceed, the distinction is blurring between the current meeting, dominated, they say, by the "environmental axis of evil" of the U.S., Canada, and Australia, and events such as the World Trade Organization meetings that bolster the interests of multinational corporations.

Extractions: SDIN NGO PRESS STATEMENT June 7, 2002 "WHAT ON EARTH IS MISSING?" Thank you for being here today. In this Summit process NGOs have organized themselves into several issue specific caucuses. Our collective statement gives an overview of the major issues that these caucuses are still deeply concerned about. Each subject will be introduced by the name of the caucus that has taken the responsibility for that issue. A common thread runs through our various concerns of the different caucuses. But Bali has failed glaringly in addressing any of these concerns. It is therefore puzzling to us why our governments have carelessly missed the obvious and hence the common thrust and theme of our statement "What on Earth is Missing Here?" Women's Caucus: Shame on the governments here for reversing the historical achievement towards sustainability, launched in Rio in 1992, We women came here to Bali to draw the world's attention to the poverty, environmental degradation, and unequal participation that women face. But the governments here have failed the women and children of the world. We came here to demand and challenge the WSSD to: Stop the corporate take-over of the UN;
