Extractions: This regional sub-category is intended for articles on particular indigenous peoples of this (sub-)region, and related topics. See the discussion on the parent category talk page at Category talk:indigenous peoples for suggested criteria to be used in determining whether or not any particular group should be placed in this sub-category. The term indigenous peoples used here has a particular, modern analytical sense. As such, not every ethnic grouping of this region will warrant inclusion here. Reference sources should be cited, particularly if the identification as indigenous may be controversial or contested. Note that some particular group may be eligible for inclusion in more than one regional sub-category, either because the regional boundaries overlap, or the group is distributed across more than one region. A given group should be placed in its appropriate regional sub-category(ies), and optionally perhaps also its main regional category, rather than the overall parent category indigenous peoples

Another 40 speakers had the floor today to make their statements. Again, the principle issues treated related to the general effects of globalization on Indigenous Population and the different initiative the concerned governments and especially the International Community should take to encounter these effects. The major accusations against the phenomenon of globalization are its effect on the environment and indigenous cultures. The indigenous populations do not have enough possibilities to participate in the globalization process. In addition to that, they are asked to apply the programs of financial institutions such as the World Bank and the IMF, which are not well adapted to their needs. Related to the environmental issue, speakers stated that sustained development and minimum environmental standards are the main conditions for the survival of Indigenous Populations as stated by Mr. Mohamed Handoine of the Association Amachires du Maroc. Mr. Handoine added that it is also a condition for the cultural survival of indigenous populations.

Extractions: Indigenous peoples There are thousands of distinct groups, measured by their local language, and hundreds of millions people belonging to them. Different interpretations of the term "indigenous" exist and there is even resistance among such groups to being so called. However, we shall abide here by the definition given in Article I of ILO Convention number 169 concerning indigenous and tribal peoples in independent countries. In some cases, extreme climatic conditions (in Australia, Greenland or the Sahara) have led to the development of highly specialized ways of life which are incompatible with those of the consumer society surrounding these people. More generally, however, indigenous peoples have been, and continue to be, forced off their lands, formerly by conquest, now by the processes of planned development (hydroelectric and irrigation projects, mining, military installations, roads and railways, sanctuaries, parks and urban growth), or denied adequate political representation in matters which concern them directly. The cultures of the indigenous and tribal peoples have been historically marginalized and continue to face an unequal conflict with powerful external political and economic forces. In an overwhelming number of cases, there is a loss of cultural symbols in which lives are enmeshed. To compound this loss, the newer cultural symbols to which they are exposed television, advertising, consumerism, and so forth give rise to a structure of meanings and values that further undermines social and cultural security.
Extractions: The Tuareg belong to the large Berber (Imazighen) community, which stretches from the Canary Islands to Egypt and from the Mediterranean Sea to the Niger River. They are the only Berber speaking community, to have preserved and used the Tifinagh writing. Nomads of vast arid lands, the common denominator of the dispersed Tuareg are the language, Tamasheq. Consequently, they identify themselves as Kel Tamasheq (people of Tamasheq). Although the origin and early history of the Tuaregs are cloudy, these tribal nomads appear to have travelled down from North Africa in a series of migrations as early as the 7th century. By the end of the 14th century, Tuareg tribes had established themselves as far south as the Nigerian border. As they advanced, the Tuareg met the Songhay and the Hausa, who were forced to acknowledge their regime. Raids against sedentary settlements and caravans were central to their ethos and hierarchy, and increased their herds of cattle. Because of their swift camels and superior weapons, the Tuareg generally had the better of their enemies. The Tuareg also conquered the Harratine, who were a farming people of Negroid stock. These people were not trained for war and gave in without a struggle. In return for protection from other desert marauders, they agreed to give the Tuareg half their garden produces. Thereafter they continued to farm their land as serfs.

Extractions: August 1998 UNCLASSIFIED NOTE: This document has been replicated word-for-word as printed by the US government. While benificial in bringing the Amazigh question to light, the paper does not include any documentation and has some errors. Therefore, it should not be used as "proof" for arguments, as that is not the intent of this paper. An additional note, this document describes FIS leader Abassi Madani as a Kabyle, which is incorrect. Madani was born in Sidi Okba in Biskra, in the south of Algeria. His family is from this area, which is not Kabylie territory. He is, therefore, not a Kabyle, nor has he ever identified himself as an Amazigh of any group. Blanca Madani WAAC The Issue Definitions The term "Amazigh" used in this study is the preferred term for the Berber people of North Africa. The still widely used ethnolinguistic word "Berber" is disliked because of its pejorative and demeaning characterit implies that the person so called is "barbarian" in every sense of the word. "Berber" derives from the Greek word "barbaroi," denoting one who did not speak Greek but babbled unintelligibly and was thus a barbarian. The Romans and Byzantines continued this use of the term. During and after the Arab invasions of the seventh century, the Arabs followed the Greco-Roman practice and referred to the indigenous peoples they encountered as "barbar." The French and English speakers adopted "Berber" and "Berber" coined the word "Barbary," implying that the inhabitants were indeed barbarians.

The United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies in Yokohama, Japan, sponsors a project called âThe Role of Traditional Knowledge in Public Health.â Dr Mihaela Serbulea, a postdoctoral fellow at UNU-IAS conducting research on bioethics and traditional medicines, recently returned from Senegal, Cote dâIvoire and Nigeria where she met with traditional healers and national health authorities. Of an estimated 50 million births per year that are unregistered, children born into indigenous families are at particular risk of being denied citizenship. Without citizenship, children do not have access to basic human rights such as health care, education, the right to residence and travel, access to justice, and safety and physical well-being. When these children grow to adulthood, they frequently live on the margins of society, since they face significant barriers to basic freedoms like marriage, land ownership, voting, or opening a bank account.

Week at a Glance Friday, 12 March, 2004, 15:30 GMT For centuries Berbers have fought to prevent their language and culture from being swamped by Arabs. Most numerous in Morocco, they are scattered across nine countries. Their voice has been most loudly heard, amidst outbreaks of violence, in Algeria. Q: Who are they? The Berbers are a non-Semitic people who since prehistoric times inhabited the Mediterranean coastline from Egypt to the Atlantic. They dominated North Africa until it was conquered by Arabs in the 7th century. Ethnically, a majority of Moroccans and Algerians are Arabicised Berbers. Today it is more language and culture that set Berbers apart. Berber speakers account for some 50% of Moroccans and 30% of Algerians. Q: Where does the name come from? One theory derives 'Berber' from Barbaros, ancient Greek for 'Outsiders'. Berbers call themselves 'Imazighen' (Free), plural of 'Amazigh'. They call the Maghreb 'Tamazgha', or Land of the Imazighen. Q: What do they speak?

Extractions: Courtesy Nadia Benchallal and Middle East Report The origins of the Berbers are unclear; a number of waves of people, some from Western Europe, some from sub-Saharan Africa, and others from Northeast Africa, eventually settled in North Africa and made up its indigenous population. Because present-day Berbers and the overwhelming majority of the Arabs largely descend from the same indigenous stock, physical distinctions carry little or no social connotation and are in most instances impossible to make. The term Berber is derived from the Greeks, who used it to refer to the people of North Africa. The term was retained by the Romans, Arabs, and other groups who occupied the region, but is not used by the people themselves. Identification with the Berber or Arab community is largely a matter of personal choice rather than of membership in discrete and bounded social entities. In addition to their own language, many adult Berbers also speak Arabic and French; for centuries Berbers have entered the general society and merged, within a generation or two, into the Arab group. This permeable boundary between the two major ethnic groups permits a good deal of movement and, along with other factors, prevents the development of rigid and exclusive ethnic blocs. It appears that whole groups slipped across the ethnic "boundary" in the pastand others may do so in the future. In areas of linguistic contiguity, bilingualism is common, and in most cases Arabic eventually comes to predominate.
