Extractions: SABER AZAM United Nations Peacekeeping Operations O ne of the oldest civilizations on Earth, the indigenous peoples of Turkana have lived isolated in Kenyas remote northwest for thousands of years. Existing in the tormented, civil war-torn heart of the continent, their way of life is now threatened by the added pressure of Kakuma Refugee Camp. Families from Sudan and East Africa, fleeing violence in their homelands, have sought sanctuary here since 1992. The dueling struggles for the sparse resources of this unforgiving region touched author and photographer Daniel Cheng Yang. With passion, dedication and compassion, he conveys the harsh reality of refugee life in his imagerythe plight of the over 40 million refugees in the world todayand the conflict between ancient traditional and contemporary civilizations. A powerful, moving documentary of forgotten peoples, Daniels work has gained international attention for its depth of human expression and been shown in Paris at the Louvre, as well as in New York and Yokohama. At the authors request, a portion of book proceeds will go to fund food and supplies for the more than 81,000 refugees at Kakuma.

Long-term treaties between Britain and the Maasai came to an end in 2004 sparking conflicts in parts of southern Kenya. In 2004, 22 people were killed in the conflict between pastoralists and encroaching agricultural communities in the Rift Valley. New violence in 2005 involved allegations of government troops killing herders. Indigenous peoples of Kenya, with IPACC support, were active in the process of constitutional review in 2003-2004. In 2004, the emphasis has been on the National Land Policy formulation. Indigenous peoples were not initially involved but following protests they have been included by the National Land Commission as a representative delegation of both hunter-gatherer and pastoralist peoples. Vice Chairperson of IPACC, Mary Simat was interviewed on television representing indigenous issues in discussion with the Permanent Secretary. Mrs Simat has emphasised that urban policy makers do not know the situation on the ground for rural indigenous peoples. Land tenure issues require sensitivity to indigenous cultures and sustainable economic strategies. Mrs Simat leads a working group of herders and hunters who have been invited to join a government reference group on land issues.

Kassena People "Kassena peoples belong to a larger subset of peoples in the area of southern Burkina Faso and northern Ghana collectively known as Gurunsi. This term is applied to these peoples, who share common histories, languages, and political structures, but it also carries pejorative overtones in local usage. Most of Gurunsi live in modern day Burkina Faso, and the degree to which recent Kassena history differs from their northerly neighbors, such as the Nuna, Bwa, and Winiama, is because they live in modern day Ghana."

Extractions: After the struggle for liberty in the American Revolution, free and enslaved African Americans faced continued hardship and inequality. A number of white Americans, for a variety of reasons, joined them in their efforts to resolve this complex problem. One possible solution (advocated at a time when the assimilation of free blacks into American society seemed out of the question) was the complete separation of white and black Americans. Some voices called for the return of African Americans to the land of their forebears. - African-American Quaker and maritime entrepreneur Paul Cuffee (or Cuffe) financed and captained a successful voyage to Sierra Leone where he helped a small group of African-American immigrants establish themselves. Cuffee believed that African Americans could more easily "rise to be a people" in Africa than in America with its system of slavery and its legislated limits on black freedom. Cuffee also envisioned a black trade network organized by Westernized blacks who would return to Africa to develop its resources while educating its people in the skills they had gained during captivity. Cuffee died in 1817 without fully realizing his dream. - The partial success of Paul Cuffee's African venture encouraged white proponents of colonization to form an organization to repatriate those free African Americans who would volunteer to settle in Africa. Prominent Americans such as Henry Clay, John Randolph of Roanoke, and Justice Bushrod Washington were members of the American Colonization Society (ACS) during its early years. Many free African-Americans, however, including those who had supported Paul Cuffee's efforts, were wary of this new organization. They were concerned that it was dominated by Southerners and slave holders and that it excluded blacks from membership. Most free African-Americans wanted to stay in the land they had helped to build. They planned to continue the struggle for equality and justice in the new nation. See African-American Mosaic:

Extractions: Maasai This conversation takes us on a journey which touches upon the issues of land, tradition and cultures, as well as their concerns confronting pastoralists within the confines of States who like people to be settled, as Ida reminds us. The problematic qualification of "who are Indigenous Peoples" also arises in this dialogue. Ida, in her role as a member of the Permanent Forum sees that there is a great willingness in the UN bodies to work on these issues. The need for a media strategy to move beyond the walls of the UN is also addressed. Real Audio Español/Spanish Marcos Terena

Extractions: A status report recently released by the World Bank reveals no substantial progress in poverty reduction over the last decade for indigenous groups living in Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru. Such findings for indigenous people, among the poorest and marginalized groups worldwide, are the basis of a recent call to more actively promote indigenous issues in country-level poverty reduction strategy programs (PRSP) aimed at meeting Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Several factors have been cited to increase indigenous participation in PRSPs. Because data for indigenous groups is typically not disaggregated from general country population studies, UNDP calls for the development of dedicated databases and mapping of indigenous peoples and their organizations; active inclusion of indigenous issues in project and programming cycles; and the establishment of indigenous support groups within a countryâs civil society sector. Resources cite Mexicoâs National Survey of Employment in Indigenous Areas in 1997, Venezuelaâs indigenous census in 2001 and the founding of UNIPACK, an indigenous support group in Kenya, in 2004. In all cases, responsibility for integrating indigenous issues into poverty reduction programs lies with national governments. One study concludes that governments often fail âto recognize the link between ethnicity and poverty,â while another states that engagement with indigenous peoples is a "political act ultimately subject to approval by Governments." Indigenous women are particularly marginalized because they are poor, women and indigenous.

Extractions: a university should condone this sort of portrayal, because not only is it insulting and degrading, but it's this sort of beliefs that laid the basis for manifest destiny, the belief that native peoples, indigenous tribal peoples were inherently inferior, that we had no right to live on this land, and that we should leave so that other people could live here who deserved it more. Shanna Estigoy People are perfectly comfortable putting on their blinders, not worrying about race issues, about cultural issues, about issues that are at the core of American democracy. That's the frightening aspect of it. Dan Wildcat There's a handful of us here tonight who got to view it (the skit)... even if I wasn't a Native American, I would feel offended because it's just in bad taste. Once again it shows that there's an elitist group of people who can take anybody's culture take intellectual theft, cultural theft they can take our spiritual ways and make fun of them.

GIS, Society, and Community The social theoretic critique of GIS is now well established and can be summarized as focusing on a number of issues including: the perceived positivism and hegemonic power relations embedded within GIS (Abler, 1993; Aitken and Michel, 1995; Lake, 1993; Openshaw, 1991, 1992; Pickles, 1995; Smith, 1992; Taylor, 1990, 1991; Taylor and Overton, 1991, 1992; Taylor and Johnston, 1995) the claimed value-neutral and objective nature of GIS (Openshaw, 1991, 1992) the apparent pre-eminence given to data and facts and the retreat from knowledge with resultant regional and data inequities (Goodchild, 1991; Taylor, 1990; Openshaw, 1991, 1992; Pickles, 1995). the (anti) democratic nature of GIS brought about by the existence of differential access to data and technology (McHaffie, 1995; Obermeyer, 1993; Pickles, 1991; Edney, 1991)
