It is a further refinement of the CogniScope and sometimes goes under different names, as the Indigenous Leadership Interactive System, for example, in adapting it to different circumstances. In these co-laboratories, people of diverse cultures, ideologies, and agendas engage in structured dialogue; focus on common concerns, decide on practical priorities; and craft consensual actions plans. [For a more extended explanation go to www.globalagoras.org and choose Co-Laboratories on the menu.] The following press release(s) describe a Wisdom of the People Forum (co-laboratory) involving a transnational collection of indigenous people.

The Royal Commission on Genetic Modification - submissions New Zealand Maori Congress Submission The New Zealand Maori Congress (the Congress) submitted that Te Tiriti o Waitangi is the only starting point for any recommendations concerning the possible move to permitting genetic modification (GM) technology in Aotearoa / New Zealand. They then called for a moratorium on all genetic modification (GM) technology until the regulatory framework is amended to recognise Maori as having a decisive role in the decision making process. Furthermore, the protection of Maori concerns in this field is paramount and needs to be actively promoted. Essential to achieving this is Maori having a continued and active input into developing and monitoring outcomes and processes for the utilization of these resources. This would involve education and communication about GM foods and products. The Congress also called for the development and facilitation of ongoing fora to facilitate exchange of information and views between tangata whenua and communities of interests, research institutes and funding agencies and researchers Submission Maori Congress urges the following amendments to legislation with connections to the control and development of GM technology in New Zealand: The provision of binding recommendatory powers to Nga Kaihautu Tikanga Taiao (Maori Advisory Group);

This claim is concerned with the recognition of Maori cultural and intellectual property rights and their political authority with respect to knowledge of native flora and fauna. According to the claimants, this knowledge was traditionally maintained by them and, as such, affirmed by the Treaty of Waitangi. The claimants argue that the New Zealand government has acted in breach with the Treaty of Waitangi in its legislation and policies, which have resulted in the denial of Maori exercising their political authority. The claim is focused on government policy which promotes the sale and export of the species under claim to overseas scientific and commercial companies arguing that it is in the best interests of all New Zealand citizens. Maori claimants, however, argue that by signing intergovernmental agreements regarding the liberalization of the world economy, such as WTO, Maori cultural values are denied and their intellectual property rights are endangered (Statement of Claim WAI 262 1991).

The Aboriginal flag has been in use sine July 1971 but it was in 1995 when it was been legal recognised by the Australian government as a ‘Flag of Australia” under section 5 of the Flags Act 1953. Harold Thomas, an Aboriginal artist designed the Aboriginal flag in 1971. The black represents the Aboriginal people, the red the earth and the spiritual relationship to the land, and the yellow the sun, the giver of life. The Aboriginal flag was first raised on National Aboriginal Day in 1971 in Victoria Square, Adelaide. But it wasn’t until 1972 when it was flown above the Aboriginal "Tent Embassy" outside of the old Parliament House, Canberra that it was adopted nationally by our community. Like the Aboriginal flag, the Torres Strait Islander flag was officially recognised by the Australian Government as an Australian flag in 1995 but for the Torres Strait Islander community their flag has been recognised by their community since 1992. The Torres Strait Islander flag was designed by the late Bernard Namok of Thursday Island. Namok’s design includes a white Dari (headdress) which is a symbol of Torres Strait Islanders. The white five-pointed star beneath it symbolises the five major island groups and the navigational importance of stars to these seafaring people. The green stripes represent the land, the black stripes represent the people, and the blue represents the sea.

The Health of Indigenous Peoples: A Concern for Nursing As we reach mid point in the Decade of the World’s Indigenous Peoples (1994 –2003), ICN takes this closer look at the health status of indigenous peoples. There are more than 300 million indigenous peoples in the world, on every continent and representing many cultures. However, indigenous peoples are over represented among the world’s vulnerable groups, suffering low incomes, living in poor conditions, and lacking adequate access to employment, education, safe water, food and health care services. Although epidemiological data is scanty, available morbidity and mortality data point to the following health impacts on indigenous peoples: Life expectancy at birth is 10 to 20 years less than for the overall population in a country Infant mortality rates are 1.5 to 3 times greater than the national average

Since then, WIPCE has been hosted in New Zealand, Australia, New Mexico and Hawaii. This year marked its return to Canada via the Morley Reserve, west of Calgary. Running from August 4 to 10, 2002, the Conference was hosted by the First Nations Adult and Higher Education Consortium (FNAHEC) based in Calgary. For many years, the Conference has been an international success, demonstrating that Indigenous education is alive and well. Indigenous educators are a dynamic group that revels in these types of gatherings as they provide an opportunity to feel connected to a worldwide family. The unique nature of the wisdom shared and a feeling of connectedness combined to make the Conference a phenomenal event. For further insight into the success of the Conference I have included the main tenets of the Conference philosophy: The Conference Philosophy "Celebrating success in the enhancement and perpetuation of our Indigenous languages and cultures.

This is part of a nation's wealth which all citizens need to be open to. Indigenous peoples and their cultures, including Maori, offer their treasures to all while opening themselves to the world's treasures. The inauguration of the United Nations International Year of Indigenous Peoples 1993, provides an opportunity for the international community to focus on and respond to some of the needs of indigenous peoples. Approximately 300 million indigenous peoples inhabited some seventy member states of the United Nations Maori of Aotearoa New Zealand are included in this number. The United Nations define the term "indigenous peoples" as the first to live on their land, beginning hundreds or even thousands of years ago. However, as the United Nations notes, it is a sad reality of the contemporary world that political, economic and social pressures are rapidly threatening the very survival of indigenous people. Their patterns of family and social structure have been disrupted, their lifestyles have been denigrated, their protection has not been a priority .2 In 1993 we took the opportunity of drawing attention to the tradition and teaching of the Church when we affirmed: that the right of the first occupants to land, and the social and political organization which would allow them to preserve their cultural identity, while remaining open to others, must be guaranteed .4

It highlights the danger of new technologies being used to re-colonise indigenous peoples, to re-impose the newer colonial geographies upon the ancient sovereign geographies, despite the ongoing process of political decolonisation. To understand the region one must move beyond a continental preoccupation with landmass, and learn to see it as a single oceanic region, inhabited by island-dwelling but ocean-going peoples for whom the oceans are as much a part of the landscape as the islands, for whom the ocean is the food basket, and also an infrastructure, a network of pathways. In western terms the ocean is "owned" by these peoples, and is an integral part of their many homelands. We are seafaring peoples, having traversed these waters for 17,000 years or more, and the seas are as much our homelands as the relatively tiny landforms.

We are looking forward to the first meeting of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in May as a substantive outcome of the International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People. It will be an important means for indigenous peoples to participate in the work of a United Nations body on the same basis as that of states. To demonstrate our support, we have provided financial and technical assistance towards its establishment and we encourage others to make similar contributions. It is vital, however, that the Permanent Forum is allocated adequate regular budget funding to enable it to fulfil its mandate. Concerning the draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, we were heartened by the goodwill and commitment shown by representatives of indigenous peoples at the Working Group’s seventh session.

To develop an informed, up-to-date, and critical understanding of these issues, the course will offer an overview of the contemporary state of indigenous peoples and then guide students in pursuing on-line research of Internet sites established by indigenous peoples themselves, anthropological groups, international human rights organizations, world news services, national governments, and the United Nations. COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1. The course critically examines the cultural and political meanings of concepts used to talk about human rights, especially considering the universalist versus relativist debate. 2. Equally important, discrimination, prejudice, genocide, coercive assimilation, and other patterns of domination will be placed in their cultural and global contexts of understanding.
