Tauli-Corpus added, "It was hoped that with this historical advancement, this respect would be reflected in the implementation of the Plan of Action of the WSSD (which is still not ready). We expect governments, UN Agencies and corporations to give the respect that indigenous peoples deserve in all future consultations, relationships, partnerships and negotiations."

Extractions: The following appeared in Volume 98, Number 1 (Fall, 1998) of the APA Newsletters Newsletter on International Cooperation Report from the Committee on International Cooperation Members Introduction On July 1, 1998 I completed my three-year term as chair of the Committee on International Cooperation (CIC). I wish to thank four other CIC members, whose terms also ended on July 1: David Burrell (Notre Dame), Nancy Fraser (New School) Roy Martinez (Spelman), and Georges Rey (Maryland). David and Roy made valuable contributions to our planning meeting in 1996, and, like these two members, Georges organized one CIC session at a divisional meeting. Although he departed from the Committee in 1997, I also wish to give special recognition to Dan Garber for spearheading our efforts to further internationalize the APA. CIC Sessions at Divisional Meetings In 1998-99, the Committee will continue to offer sessions that address international topics and include overseas philosophers at divisional meetings.
Indigenous: To Capitalize Or Not In the US, we invariably capitalize African American and Hispanic, I m notsure that indigenous peoples of the Americas give offense, http://www.wame.org/indigenous.htm
Extractions: My 2 cents: if indigenous is being used in a generic sense (eg: ".... of Indigenous peoples when compared to immigrant populations...") then no capitalisation. If it being used as a shorthand or collective descriptor for a particular cultural group ("kidney disease in Indigenous Austalians is ...") then capitalisation as a mark of respect is appropriate. Indigenous people of different tribes or groupings often prefer to have that respect conferred via capitalisation. The same applies to "aboriginal" vs "Aboriginal". If anyone disagrees, then I invite them to consider not capitalising "greek" or "briton" or "japanese". Simon Chapman
From The November 2004 Anthropology News Michelle Bigenho And The year 2004 has marked the end of the UN Decade for indigenous People. This is not only an issue in places such as africa and Asia, where indigenous http://www.aaanet.org/apla/anewsnovember2004.html
Extractions: Agencies such as the UN and the International Labour Organization (ILO) as well as multilateral aid organizations such as the World Bank have affected the ways that people articulate their political aspirations. The ILOs declaration on indigenous rights (ILO 169) has been instrumental in allowing marginalized peoples to pressure national governments to recognize and address their concerns, often with some success. Within development aid initiatives, the World Bank focuses on indigenous people because in many countries these are the poorest and most marginalized populations; these initiatives have an impact on national governments recognition of indigenous peoples as the former seek to attract money for ethno-development. Indigeneity is definitely in, but who is indigenous? This is not only an issue in places such as Africa and Asia, where indigenous people may sometimes have a shorter historical presence in a given territory than their neighbors, but also in the Americas where indigeneity is seemingly less ambiguous. In the US the federal government recognizes and regulates indigenous identity through what is essentially a blood quantum criterion; Latin American governments make no such formal definition and may not even ask a question on ethnicity in their national censuses. The agencies mentioned above (and they are followed by many others) have broad definitions of indigeneity but all conclude that, ultimately, indigenous people are those who define themselves as indigenous people.

UNITED OUTCRY AGAINST MINING GREENWASH A global coalition of indigenous peoples organisations, mineaffected communitiesand civil African indigenous WomenÕs Organisation Lucy Mulenkei http://www.sacredland.org/resources/Greenwash.html
Extractions: UNITED OUTCRY AGAINST MINING GREENWASH I ndigenous peoples, mine-affected local communities and major organisations of civil society decried today the partnership forged by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) as a cynical greenwash of the mining industry. "ItÕs a contradiction for the ICMM, whose mining industry members have systematically engaged in the rape of the Mother Earth to have suddenly changed heart to implement best management practices to protect biodiversity. By nature of its technology, mining is unsustainable. The mining industry has a poor record of community accountability and in many parts of the world is socially unacceptable", said Tom Goldtooth of the Indigenous Environmental Network. Mining has left a legacy of impoverished communities and environmental despoliation. "Entering a partnership on Mining and Biodiversity with the World Conservation Union, while marginalizing indigenous peoples and local communities, who are most severely impacted, is a gross cynicism and non-accountability on the part of these global organisations" said Joji Carino of Tebtebba Foundation, the Indigenous Peoples International Centre for Policy-Research and Education.

Lantern Forum > An Evening With Daniel Silau, A Maasai From Kenya In order for africa and other continents to realize peace and security and for the I think they think so; and yet other peoples have adapted to a new http://www.lanternbooks.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t17.html
Extractions: Daniel Silau writes: As the World resource base continue to shrink, it is becoming evident that most of resource-rich ecosystems exist in territories that belong to Indigenous Peoples' (IPs). Over centuries, these resources have withstood exploitation by colonialists as well as successive independent governments. Despite intimidation of all kinds, and demeaning IPs "primitive" or "barbaric," we maintain a proud sense that our livelihoods, lifestyles and existence are exactly the opposite. Our livelihood respects the natural world and allows every living their space on this earth. Our livelihood acknowledges the intricacy of nature's connections with human beings, spirituality with the environment, and an abundant nature with abundant culture. My people, the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania, are undergoing bitter times, threatened by dominant communities and governments around them who are especially eager for our land, and are diverting rivers, grabbing sacred forests and evicting us from our land for wildlife. In order for Africa and other continents to realize peace and security and for the planet to learn to use its resources sustainably, the rights and needs of Indigenous Peoples everywhere need to be respected.

When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people's dream died there. It was a beautiful dream... "The nation's hoop is broken and scattered. There is no center any longer, and the sacred tree is dead."

Extractions: Editorial Tim Whalen, Director of the Getty Conservation Institute and Mounir Bouchenaki Assistant Director General for Culture, UNESCO The principle of collective responsibility for the protection and conservation of cultural heritage forms the basis of international cooperative efforts to preserve that heritage. Partnerships among cultural heritage organizations, which have gained increasing legitimacy from a number of successful projects such as the recent reconstruction of the Mostar bridge in Bosnia, include a wide variety of participants and public-private collaborations. As heritage conservation becomes more complicatedsometimes involving development issues such as urban expansion and poverty reduction, as well as the preservation of identities, specifically for indigenous peoplesthe partnership concept becomes all the more appealing, as well as complex. It is in this context that partnerships have developed between UNESCO and its affiliated organizations and programs of the J. Paul Getty Trust. One project, Object ID, set up an international standard of information for the documentation and identification of objects in order to facilitate the rapid transfer of information in case of theft. Initiated by the Getty, it was established through the participation of the art trade, law enforcement, the insurance industry, and major heritage organizations, and is now managed by the International Council of Museums (ICOM), which was founded by UNESCO and remains affiliated with it (see icom.museum/objectid). Sharing information worldwide is a form of partnership that goes beyond selective actions and represents a change in the état-desprit: it builds a common ethical ground.

Black American Alabama native, 40s, 1999 In the 1780s, certain white Virginians began to agitate for the termination of the Gingaskin Indian Reservation in Northampton County... In 1812 it was argued that: 'the place is now inhabited by as many black men as Indians... the Indian women have many of them married black men, and a majority probably, of the inhabitants are blacks or have black-blood in them... the real Indians [are few].' The reserve was divided (allotted) in 1813 and by 1832 whites had acquired most of it.

Extractions: by Gerald Taiaiake Alfred and Jeff Corntassel Indigenous Peoples Research Chair Mon, 12 Jan 2004 Few people may realize that we are living in the United Nations' International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (1995-2004). As with other UN designated Decades - Women (1976-1985) and the Eradication of Colonialism (1990-2000) - the goal stated at the outset of the Indigenous Decade was ambitious: to strengthen international cooperation for the solution of problems faced by Indigenous peoples in the areas of human rights, culture, the environment, development, education and health. As the Decade comes to a close this year, it is apparent that the Decade has been remarkable only in the emptiness of the UN's rhetoric and in how so little has been done by states and international organizations to bring practical effect to their lofty rhetorical concern for Indigenous peoples. http://www.oneworld.ca/article/view/76589/1/983
