About Us INDIGENOUS PEOPLES: ISSUES OF DEFINITION Professor Douglas Sanders Faculty of Law, University of British Columbia January 26, 1999 The progress that has been made by "indigenous peoples" in international fora has been aided by the political perception that this category of claimants is limited and in some respects unique, and that such claims can properly and safely be treated as a special case. Although the imprecision of the category and the expanding array of groups involved in the "indigenous peoples movement" could eventually threaten this perception and provoke more sustained demands for precision, such a transformation has not yet occurred. For the last thirty years "indigenous peoples" have become more and more a focus of international attention. This attention began with a focus on the Americas, where the indigenous status of the Indian, Inuit and Aleut peoples could not be doubted. But western commentators, non-governmental organisations and intergovernmental bodies have applied the terminology far beyond the Americas. In reaction certain states, most notably China and India, have sought a definition which would make it clear that the populations they refer to as "tribals" or "minority nationalities" are not "indigenous peoples."

Educational levels among indigenous peoples around the world are generally low. This situation is a reflection of the general marginalization and exclusion from which indigenous peoples suffer. The goal of having all indigenous children attend and complete primary schooling is far from being universally achieved and the educational services open to indigenous children are generally below recommended minimum standards.

Indigenous Peoples of the Rainforest rainforest fact sheets printer-friendly version Spanish Portuguese German Q: Who are indigenous people? A: Tropical rainforests are bursting with life. Not only do millions of species of plants and animals live in rainforests, but people also call the rainforest their home. In fact, indigenous, or native, peoples have lived in rainforests for many thousands of years. Early accounts of these people by European explorers indicate a far denser population lived in the forest than today. Many of these original peoples, such as the Caribs (after whom the Caribbean Sea is named) have disappeared completely. Others are only scattered remnants of what they once were. However thousands of distinct ethnic groups with their own distinctive language and culture remain today in tropical rainforests around the world. Q: In general, how do they live? A: Although some indigenous people live much as we do, others still live much as did their ancestors thousands of years before them. These communities organize their daily lives differently than our culture. Their food, medicines and clothing come primarily from the forest. Q: Do the children go to school?

Links to UN Sites Links to NGOs Sites The United Nation General Assembly on 23 December 1994 designated 9 August to be observed as the " International Day of the World's Indigenous People " every year during the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People ( Resolution 49/214 ). The date marks the day of the first meeting in 1982 of the Working Group of Indigenous Populations of the Subcommission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities of the Commission on Human Rights. First observed in 1995, its commemoration offers the world community an opportunity to reiterate the principles of respect for human rights enshrined in the Charter and to find solutions to alleviate the plight of indigenous people. 1993 - The Year Seeking New Partnership Recognising the need for a new approach to the issue of indigenous peoples, the United Nation General Assembly on 18 December 1990 proclaimed 1993 the

The Head Heeb « From the gallery Main The party's children » September 05, 2003 Redefining indigenous peoples A group of Batwa (pygmies) from several east and central African countries are meeting in Kigali to fight discrimination in their respective homelands. The interesting part is that they are claiming rights as indigenous peoples under ILO Convention 169 as against the politically dominant Bantu majorities These rights have, until recently, been asserted almost exclusively against colonial settler populations rather than pre-colonial inhabitants. There now seems to be an increasing movement by the "first peoples" in various African regions to regard the ethnic groups who derive from the Bantu and Nilotic migrations as colonial settlers. The manifesto of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Coordinating Committee , for instance, makes clear that the "indigenous peoples" are the hunter-gatherers and pastoralists who inhabited eastern and southern Africa before the migrations. It also makes clear that the indigenous peoples' primary grievances are against the Bantu-dominated post-colonial state structures, which often do not recognize their land rights or customary laws. At times, as in the ongoing Congolese civil war, these peoples have been subjected to outright massacres; one little-recognized facet of the 1994 Rwanda genocide is that a third of the Batwa population were killed along with hundreds of thousands of Tutsis.

Digitized historical documents, maps, government reports (both historical and contemporary), legal cases, and specialized educational curriculum are accessible to researchers. Librarians in the field must perceive library resources in the broadest manner to be most effective to these researchers. Luckily, these efforts are facilitated through the hypertext and visual nature of the Internet. There are numerous quality Internet resources about indigenous peoples, individual communities, organizations, and particular topics. In addition to nonindigenous resources, strong effort has been made to include Internet resources created and maintained by indigenous peoples or nations. Increasingly, these groups have used the Internet to communicate and disseminate information about their communities and issues that affect their lives.

justice, peace, creation tasks and concerns: Indigenous Peoplese Walking together towards tomorrow Introduction: The Indigenous Peoples Programme focus is the plight and status of Indigenous Peoples around the world. The programme attempts to clarify the past and present issues of denial, destruction and denigration of Indigenous spiritualities and ancestral values that were exercised by colonisation and continued by dominant cultures, the most critical of which is the dispossession of the land on which Indigenous Peoples build and develop their lives and their spiritualities. Indigenous Peoples are among the (if not the ) most oppressed peoples in the world. The Indigenous Peoples Programme calls on the WCC to be proactive in its support for Indigenous Peoples and their struggles by: ensuring that the issues and concerns of Indigenous Peoples are continuing to be addressed throughout the programmatic work of the WCC and by doing so; engaging and encouraging its member churches to work in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples; challenging wider society which continues imposing oppressive actions.

The Earth as Mother Land and Spirituality in Africa Articles in this series: Land: Breaking bonds and cementing ties by Edmore Mufema Spirituality, land and land reform in South Africa ... Rev. Rupert Hambira In 1996, Indigenous People met during the Conference on World Mission and Evangelism held in Salvador Bahia Brazil. One year later, the World Council of Churches’ Indigenous Peoples’ Programme (WCC/IPP) in cooperation with the Botswana Christian Council also held a workshop under the theme "Spirituality, Land and the Role of the Churches in the Struggle for the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights" in Gabarone. From that meeting came a call to continue building spiritual,cultural and political identities within the churches in the countries where Indigenous Peoples are located. The areas of critical concern identified were land, protection of rights under international law, preservation/promotion of culture, decision making processes, advocacy, spirituality and networking. In February 1998, some Indigenous Peoples participants who had been at the Gabarone workshop and other representatives from Africa, attended a consultation on "Land and Spirituality" in Karasjok, Norway. Here the world-wide Indigenous Peoples community exchanged ways in which their spiritualities and lands were threatened. From this sharing, ideas of cooperation and responsibilities were discussed. The Indigenous meeting and the statement of Karasjok became a strong challenge to convene in Harare to identify the critical issues affecting African Indigenous Peoples in general. Before the WCC’s eighth Assembly in Harare, "Land and Spirituality: The African Context" was the theme chosen for the workshop the same theme used in Karasjok, Norway. It showed the connectedness between the spiritualities of the Indigenous Peoples and the land on which they originated.

WGIP 98 Report) B. Indigenous peoples - Education and language The Chairperson-Rapporteur, Ms. Erica-Irene A. Daes, declared open the fourth meeting of the 16th session of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations and introduced agenda Item 5 entitled "Principal theme: Indigenous peoples - education and language". She highlighted that indigenous education and language are matters of primary importance for indigenous peoples and referred to the difficulties of access to it that they often experience and the vulnerability of certain indigenous languages. She therefore encouraged the exchange of views and experiences between indigenous peoples and expressed her deep appreciation to educational experts and teachers and to UNESCO in particular for cooperation in this matter. The Chairperson-Rapporteur gave the floor to Mr. Hernan Crespo Toral, Assistant Director- General for Culture of UNESCO. Mr. Crespo recognized the brilliant task accomplished by the WGIP during the past fifteen years; reiterated UNESCO's commitment to the promotion and protection of the rights and cultures of indigenous peoples and particularly stressed the importance of appreciating cultural diversity. He referred to the Intergovernmental Conference on Cultural Policies for Development, held in Stockholm in April 1998 and, in particular, to the Forum on Cultural Rights, organized by the Government of Bolivia, and the seminar on Cultural Rights of lndigenous Peoples, organized by the Saami Council, which adopted a declaration calling upon UNESCO, in coordination with OHCHR, to organize an international conference on indigenous cultural rights in 1999, with a view to promoting
