The Khany fall into three ethnic groups (northern, southern and eastern), which differ in the dialects, native names, features of economy and culture, and also endogamy. In their turn, each of them divides into territorial subgroups, distinguished by the names of the rivers in whose basins they live. Before the early 20 th century, the Russian called the Khanty Ostyaki . Jointly with the Mansi and Hungarians, the Khanty language comprises the Ugric groups of the Finno-Ugric languages. The Khanty language has three dialect groups: the northern, southern, and eastern. The Khanty vocabulary reflects its close links with the neighbors: the Nenets, Tatars and Komi-Zyran.

143. Little Progress In The Recognition And Demarcation Of Indigenous Lands In Guyana Information Update from the Forest peoples Programme. http://abyayala.nativeweb.org/guyana/guyana2.html

FOREST PEOPLES PROGRAMME INFORMATION UPDATE 19 February 1997 Little progress in the recognition and demarcation of Indigenous lands in Guyana The Government of Guyana recently approved its budget for 1997. Included therein is 50 million Guyana Dollars (approximately 365,000 US Dollars) for the demaraction of titled Indigenous territory. This amount may be sufficent to demarcate 2 or 3 titled areas, assuming that non-essential overhead costs are minimized. The World Bank has offered a further US200,000 for demarcation and is prepared to make aditional financing available. However, the Government of Guyana has failed to respond to the offer, raising serious questions about their willingness to legally recognize and demarcate Amerindian lands. Land titling began in Guyana with the passage of the 1977 Amerindian Act. Certain communities that did not receive titles in 1977, received recognition in a 1991 Amendment, particularly the Akawaio of the Upper Mazaruni region whose land was slated for a hydroelectric project at that time. The 1991 Amendments came during Guyanas last general election. 1997 is also a general election year and Government rhetoric about Amerindian rights is increasing. The Government views Amerindians, who comprise about 8% of the population, as an important voting block with the potential to influence the outcome. Meanwhile, a substantial number of communities remain without titles to their ancestral territories and many more complain that the titles that they do have are inadequate. The latter state that titled areas do not include all of their ancestral lands and do not correspond to their traditional territory. Once contiguous Amerindian territories have been divided up by the Government so that they are now intersected with so-called 'State-owned' land. Coupled with Government claims to sole ownership of subsurface minerals, this has faciliatated the entrance of multinational mining and logging companies and small-scale miners from the coast and Brazil.

146. Mansi Overview article from RAIPON (Russian Association of indigenous peoples of the North). http://www.raipon.org/Web_Database/mansi.html

General Information Mansi (self-name - man) is a people in Western Siberia, the indigenous population of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. (6.6 thousand). The Mansi are mostly distributed there over the right tributaries of the Ob River (Fig. 1) Fig. 1. The area of the distribution and economic activities of the Mansi A small group lives in the Sverdlovsk Region in the Ivdel River near Tagil. The Mansi number in the Russian Federation is 8.3 thousand. Scientific literature treats the Mansi together with the Khanty as Ob Ugrians. Before the beginning of the 20 th century, the Russians called the Mansi the Vogul or Ostyak . Anthropologically, the Mansi are the Sub-Uralic or Uralic proper types of the Uralic transition race. The Mansi language belongs to the Ugric subgroup of Finno-Ugric languages of the Uralic family. There are seven dialects, whose divergence is so great as to prevent mutual understanding. Since 1930, the writing has been based on the Middle-Sosva dialect and the Russian alphabet. The following ethnic groups are distinguished: the northern (Sosva and Upper-Lozva dialects), southern or Tavda, eastern (Kondinsky dialect), Western (Kondinsky dialect), Western (Pelym, Vagil, Lower Lozva and Upper Lozva dialects). The Mansi was claimed to their native language by 3.1 thousand people. Ethnogenesis As ethnos, the Mansi evolved as a result of the merger of the tribes of the Uralic Neolithic culture with Ugric and Indo-Iranian tribes, which migrated in the 2 - 1 millennia B. C. from the south to the steppes and forest-steppes, of Western Siberia and Northern Kazakhstan. The combination of the cultures of taiga hunters and fishermen and steppe nomadic pastoralists in the Mansi culture has been retained. It is most vividly manifested in the cult of the horse and the celestial horseman

Carbet-List_the Discussion Group Of The CAC This is the page for instructions on how to join CarbetList, a discussion list that brings together scholars, activists and anyone interested in discussing or asking questions about the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. http://www.centrelink.org/Carbet.html

CARBET-LIST ANNOUNCING CARBET-LIST DISCUSSION LIST ON ABORIGINAL PEOPLES OF THE CARIBBEAN Sponsored by the CARIBBEAN AMERINDIAN CENTRELINK PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THOSE WHO SUBSCRIBED PRIOR TO DECEMBER 2001 WILL NEED TO RE-JOIN, FOLLOWING THE NEW GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BELOW. KINDLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBSCRIBING. You are invited to subscribe to this new discussion list, bringing together scholars and activists interested in the aboriginal peoples of the Caribbean. Aboriginal peoples of the Caribbean, past and present, are at the focus of this discussion list. A considerable amount of archaeological research has been conducted on the pre-colonial societies of the Caribbean and this list particularly welcomes archaeologists as well as those with an interest in the colonial history of indigenous populations of the Caribbean. Moreover, contemporary populations of aboriginal ancestry, which have long been neglected in the social science literature on the Caribbean, have been attracting the interest of scholars especially over the past ten to twenty years. A significant number of activists identifying with an aboriginal Caribbean heritage have also made their presence felt on the Internet over the past decade, another example of the ongoing revival and revitalization of Caribbean indigenous identities and communities. This is the only list of its kind that offers a central forum for bringing all these interests together in discussion with one another. The scope of CARBET-LIST includes populations that are now commonly referred to as Taino, Carib, Arawak, and Garifuna, stretching from Belize, through Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, down to Dominica, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Guyanas. CARBET-LIST seeks to fulfill the aims of the Caribbean Amerindian Centrelink in not just organizing and providing online content, but in also building a community with common discussion interests.

150. Indian1 History of indigenous peoples of south central Pennsylvania. http://www.motherbedford.com/Indian1.htm

The Indian Occupation Of Mother Bedford We are all sojourners in this land. In the earliest ages only animals laid claim to the hills and valleys of what is today south central Pennsylvania. Currently accepted anthropological opinion states that during the period between thirty and six thousand years B.C., peoples from the Asian Continent entered the North American Continent by way of the now submerged Bering Strait landbridge. It is noted in the book, Smithsonian Book of The North American Indian , that a number of Paleo-Indian sites have been excavated across the Northeast that date to the post-glacial period. One of those sites is the Meadowcroft Rockshelter near present-day Pittsburgh. The Meadowcroft site has been dated to between fourteen and eleven thousand B.C. As I just noted, on the North American Continent the period of the initial migration of peoples into and across the North American Continent is known as the Paleo-Indian era; that period was part of the Stone Age. Those peoples were not native to this continent; nonetheless they moved in and claimed the land for their own. Some regions of the continent were chosen by these peoples as more or less permanent homelands. Other regions remained undisturbed except for occassional hunting forays. Like their Asiatic ancestors, those peoples were generally nomadic and did not believe in "owning" the land as the later European sojourners would.

152. The Pre-Columbian History Of The Amerindians Of Trinidad And Tobago a brief overview of the archaeological history of Trinidad and Tobago's indigenous peoples. http://www.centrelink.org/fntt/PreColumbian.html

A Brief Overview of the Pre-Columbian History of the Indigenous Peoples of Trinidad and Tobago The following information was adapted from: Arie Boomert (1996) The Prehistoric Sites of Tobago: A Catalogue and Evaluation . Alkmaar, The Netherlands. Peter Harris (N.d.) "Culture-Histories of Trinidad and Tobago: The Amerindian Community", St. Augustine, Trinidad: UWI Archaeological Centre (unpublished mimeograph). The population of Tobago consisted of small-game hunters, fishers, collectors of wild vegetable foods, fruits and edible shells. Sites can be found around Southwest Tobago, dating to about 4875 years Before Present , or in the third millennium BC (Boomert, p. 23) In Trinidad , sites can be found which date as early as 6,000 BC . The earliest archaeological finds for both Trinidad and Tobago are pre-pottery and pre-agriculture (Boomert, p. 23). The people of this period are referred to in the archaeological literature as " Pre-Ceramic ", given that they apparently did not make pottery. Most of the tools for this period consisted of stone flakes with a cutting edge, and water-rolled stones used for grinding. In addition, their tools may have consisted of basketry, and items made from wood, reeds, and various fibres, but these would not have survived the climate and hence there are no such artefacts. Given the proximity of settlements to water, archaeologists surmise that the canoe may have been in use (Harris). There appears to have been continuous settlement between 6500 and 4000 BC, and some evidence in rising waters in areas and a concomittant move inland.
