We can’t go back in time, yet — like something out of Star Trek  do you watch it?” The question drops from the clear blue sky like an unexpected bolt of lightning. Science fiction was not what I anticipated an acclaimed South African historian would bring up as a first topic of discussion. Having recently returned from The Netherlands — where he has been promoting the Dutch translation of Eilande , his well-received historical novel (already translated into English by André Brink) — Sleigh looks every bit the way you would expect a devoted historian to look.

Anthropology 133 Native Peoples and the Environment Spring 2002 PROFESSOR: Dr. Clark Erickson 435 University Museum cerickso@sas.upenn.edu DESCRIPTION: Native Peoples and the Environment The relationship between the activities of native peoples and the environment is a complex and contentious issue. One perspective argues that native peoples had little impact on the environments because of their low population densities, limited technology, and conservation ethic and worldview. At other extreme, biodiversity, and Nature itself, is considered the product of a long history of human activities. This seminar will examine the Myth of the Ecologically Noble Savage, the Myth of the Pristine Environment, the alliance between native peoples and Green Politics, and the contribution of native peoples to appropriate technology, sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity.

When dominant ethnic groups ignore the socio-economic and cultural identity needs and rights of other peoples within the same state, demands for self-determination arise. Wars that threaten the stability of whole regions often result. within the context of just demands by those to whom it means the most.

INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN STUDIES Professor Patricia Hunt-Perry Ramapo College of New Jersey COURSE DESCRIPTION In the field of American Studies there is currently a debate among scholars who represent two different orientations. One "wing" of this debate stresses the Anglo=Saxon roots of American culture and the other "wing" stresses the literature arising from the indigenous ("Indian") peoples and newer-cultural concerns. In this course we will consider both the Anglo-Saxon cultural roots and the cultural forces (both ancient and contemporary) that have interacted with , and in the process transformed, those traditions. Among the faculty members who convene the American Studies major at Rampo College there is some general agreement on the early Anglo-Saxon roots, however diverse and however strongly effected by contact with indigenous peoples. African-American traditions, and ethnic subcultures. However, there is a vibrant and intellectually challenging disagreement among this faculty (as among other faculties at other institutions) over whether the American culture that has evolved became a rootless culture, or a multirooted culture. You, as the student, are the "winner" in this debate because you will have the opportunity to explore these questions for yourself, to develop your own intellectual craftsmanship, and to come to your own informed conclusions. In the process you stand to "win" much more than a debate or a grade, you will be expected to go further than the mere accumulation of facts and thoeries (although some of these will be the necessary building blocks for your study.) You will be expected to use this material to come to your own conclusions ans to be able to support them with intellectual integrity. The readings, lectures, films, papers, and discussions are an essential part of your work this semester, but alone they are not enough. You will be expected to work with what you learn, and to go beyond knowledge to wisdom. Kindly remember that you must do the assigned readings and writing this semester but that

ACTION ALERT FOREST CONSERVATION NEWS TODAY Kenya’s Ecosystems on the Edge Forest Networking a Project of Forests.org, Inc. http://forests.org/ Forest Conservation Portal http://forests.org/web/ Discuss Forest Conservation Kenya’s ecosystems are on the edge – unable to continue providing water, plant materials and other basic human needs to its burgeoning population. Forests remain on less than two percent of Kenya’s land, under protected status as a national resource. In a country plagued by drought, the forests are critical for water conservation. They are also home to indigenous peoples that live by hunting game and gathering food plants, herbs, and honey within the forests. In a bid for votes, the Kenyan government has rescinded protected status from 4 percent of the remaining forests, claiming that the territory is needed to open settlements for the country’s many landless people. It is critical that Kenya’s forests be preserved and restored if continued and recurrent droughts are to be averted, and the country is to have a future.

Chandler Crossing Color Lines and Fulfilling Dreams, Black History Month February 22, 2005 Liberia Independence for Liberia - July 26, 1847 A young African American man from Virginia named Joseph Jenkins Roberts declared the colony of Liberia in West Africa an independent republic on July 26, 1847. The following year he became the first elected president of the new country. Roberts had moved there in 1829 at the age of twenty from Petersburg, Virginia. At that time, Liberia was a colony owned by a group of people in the United States. Who were they, and what did they plan to do with Liberia? Americans opposed to slavery back in the early 1800s were divided over the issue of colonization (forming separate colonies) for African Americans instead of integrating them into the United States. It was a very controversial notion among both blacks and whites. A group called the American Colonization Society was formed in 1816, with members such as James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Daniel Webster, and Francis Scott Key. They knew the nation would face many difficulties in becoming a truly integrated country, so they bought a colony on the West Coast of Africa and named it Liberia. How did this little colony become an independent country?

Directory NGO sites Choike About Board About Objectives I Outcomes I The institution I Board In January 2002 the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) convened a World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in order to improve access by all countries to information, knowledge and communication technologies to promote development. The first stage of the summit took place in Geneva, from 10-12 December 2003, and the second will take place in Tunis next November 16-18, 2005. Key issues of particular interest to developing countries were largely postponed to the second part of the Summit. The process also exposed the difficulty that Southern countries and civil society actors have in ensuring that their proposals are taken into account and reflected in the text of the documents being drafted. The general goal of the project is to contribute to the WSIS II decision-making process by conducting a number of researchs in key issues of interest to developing countries, disseminating the results and, based on them, advise Southern negotiators, the conference secretariat and working groups on the policy implications of the different proposals they will be considering during the summit process (at global and regional levels, including ad-hoc groups created during the process). The general objective of the project is to contribute to the WSIS II decision-making process by researching key issues of interest to developing countries.
