Extractions: SOCIAL STUDIES World History and Cultures Explore the Heritage of Indigenous Peoples The Inuit people survived the frozen Arctic north for centuries through a modest hunting and trapping lifestyle. Today, some Inuit writers have employed the most modern of technologies, the Internet, to tell about their culture and history. You can read about Nunavut, the lands inhabited by Inuit ancestors that in 1999 became a separate territory in Canada, and even see a map of it. Like the Inuit, the Sami people of Scandinavia have sought to regain land upon which their ancestors lived. In their Web site, these descendants of Europe's far north write of a history music From the far north, travel to sub-Saharan Africa to learn about the history and art of the Yoruba . These semi-independent peoples lived in highly complex kingdoms , but their way of life was vastly changed after many of their people were captured for the slave trade to the Western Hemisphere. By looking at their art and artifacts , you can see how the beliefs and ways of the Yoruba have been passed on until today.

A strategy, budget, and delegation of experts were adopted at this time. Saami have proven their merit at forming international partnerships and motivating politics for indigenous rights. The Saami have formed alliances with other aboriginal peoples through such organizations as the WCIP. Such initiatives have enabled the Nordic Saami to have their rights as an aboriginal people discussed in international fora.

We are deeply committed to fighting for the human rights of indigenous peoples collectively. This is demonstrated through our on-going and continuous work at the United Nations and other international fora. (Sami Council, 2001)

Contrary to the expressed desires of the Shoshone people, over 700 nuclear tests were detonated at the Nevada Test Site which is part of this land. The US Department of Energy has chosen Yucca Mountain, also in Nevada - which is on the land of the Paiute nation - as a burial ground for high level radioactive waste from US civilian nuclear power plants. The mountain has at least 35 active earthquake fault lines running through it. Native nations have been part of the story of nuclear contamination since the dawn of the atomic age. Indigenous peoples have been disportionately affected by the international nuclear weapons and power industries. The Marshall Islanders "My own health has suffered as a result of radiation poisoning. I cannot have children. I have had seven miscarriages. On one of these occasions, I miscarried after four months. The child I miscarried was severely deformed - it had only one eye. In 1978, I had thyroid surgery to remove nodules … I have lumps in my breasts, as well as kidney and stomach problems, for which I am receiving treatment. My eyesight is blurred, and everything looks foggy to me" (IPPNW

The volume's detailed case studies, broad overviews, and theoretical discussions are divided into three sections: the world, the sea, and the land. I did not find the division useful, however. Instead, the contributions cluster more naturally around the following themes: indigenous mobilization and identity; the continuing conflicts surrounding natural resource allocation and the practice of fishing, hunting, and herding; and the translation of societal values-biodiversity and sustainability-into international and national legal frameworks, such as treaties, laws, regulations, and co-management arrangements.

These efforts led to a number of important international conferences and heightened attention from scholars and international nongovernmental organizations. *** Top of Page 35 *** states.

Under the battle cries of human rights and self-determination, they have become recognized actors in the world constitutive process. This Article is designed to review the legacy of conquest in various arenas around the planet, and to arrive at a transnationally valid conclusion, if possible, on the status of indigenous peoples under domestic law (Part I); to describe the actors and trends in decision-making in international indigenous law (Part II); and to appraise these developments with particular focus on the issues of conceptualization of indigenous peoples, their claims to self-determination, unique collective rights, as well as innovative avenues of enforcement (Part III).
