Extractions: "I did not know how much was ended. 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: 10 March 2004 Mr. James Wolfensohn President World Bank Group 1818 H Street NW Washington, DC 20433 Fax: + 1 202 522 7700 jholden1@worldbank.org Dear Mr. Wolfensohn: Follow up and implementation of Extractive Industries Review (EIR) recommendations on indigenous peoples We, the undersigned indigenous peoples organizations, welcome the final report of the EIR and are writing to you as President of the World Bank Group to lead in the World Banks implementation of its recommendations on indigenous peoples. We especially endorse the EIR recommendations that deal with indigenous peoples because these are largely consistent with our own demands for reforms in the World Bank and in the extractives industry. We commend the eminent person Dr. Emil Salim for recommending appropriate measures to ensure that World Bank policies and projects effectively address the negative impacts of extractive industries on our peoples. Positive aspects of the EIR report The findings of the independent EIR Report corroborate the concerns that indigenous peoples have raised about World Bank-assisted extractive industry projects and their negative impacts on our territories, well-being and livelihoods. The report confirms that these industries have violated our fundamental rights and have a devastating effect on our lives, our territories and our cultures. The UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, Dr. Rodolfo Stavenhagen, for instance, states that extractive industries are

Extractions: Lao PDR Lao PDR's Institue of Cultural Research classifies the ethnic minorities into 47 ethnolinguistic groups. These groups are found in each of the country's 18 provinces with the greatest density in the provinces of Phongsaly, Oudomsay, Bokeo, Khammuanne, Saravan, Sekong, Xaisomboun, and Attapeu. Ethnic minority's access to education varies, Phutai have the highest male and female literacy of 77 and 50 percent respectively. However, the Social Analysis indicates that female ethnic minority has disproportionately lower literacy rates compared with the majority population. Among the female Khmers, only 23% are literate, while among the female Hmong, only 8% are literate. Which is very low compared to the literacy rates among the Lao majority of 86% for the males and 65% for the females. The low literacy rates among the ethnic minority population is attributed to poverty, poor retention rates at the primary level, poor transition rates from primary to secondary level, and poor accessibility of schools. The social analysis also attributes existing cultural practice as a significant factor in the very low literacy level among the female ethnic minority.
Extractions: The main subject of the 19th Session of the U.N. Working Group today is "Indigenous Peoples and Their Right to Development." This is an important subject for the more than 12 million Hmong people in Laos, China, Vietnam, Burma, Thailand and other countries, and the more than 300 million indigenous peoples on the global level, because they need economic, social, cultural, education, political development, human rights, and peace. Many thousands of those people have and are dying of starvation, disease, oppression, genocide, human rights violations and ethnic cleansing warfare. Many thousands of Hmong people in Laos and other indigenous peoples on the global level are crying out for survival, peace, human rights, freedom and democracy.

Extractions: The Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP) is an unprecedented regional forum, composed of eighteen indigenous peoples organizations from ten countries, that works to build cooperation and solidarity among the threatened indigenous peoples of the region. AIPP has been actively contributing to international standard setting on indigenous rightsthe protection and revitalization of indigenous social and cultural institutions, control over ancestral homelands, and development of communitiesthrough its involvement in the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations (UNWGIP), the International Labor Organization, the United Nations Development Programme, and other international forums. After operating informally as a regional network since 1988, AIPP was officially founded in 1992. That year fifteen indigenous peoples organizations determined that a regional organization was needed to formulate common strategies to promote the collective rights and restore the self esteem of Asian indigenous peoples, and counter the assimilationist policies of many Asian governments. Today AIPP includes organizations representing the Igorot, Lumad, Aeta, and Moro peoples of the Philippines; the Ainu of Japan; the Aborigines of Taiwan; the Moluccan, Melayu, and Dayak of Indonesia; the Dusun, Murut, Orang Ulu, and Dayak of Malaysia; the Karen, Lisu, Akha, Hmong, Lahu, Khamu, Iltin, Lua, and Lawa of Thailand; the Arakham and Chin of Burma; the Jumma of Bangladesh; the Naga and Adivasi of India; and twenty-two nationalities in Nepal.
