The Issue 2. Description Historical Perspective: The Traditional Lifestyle of the Khanty Culture The Khanty culture dates back to the second half of the first Millenium A.D. For thousands of years, the Khanty have lived along the Ob river adapting to the forest-swamp ecosystem in now what is known as the Khanty-Mansi Okrug in the Tyumen Oblast of Russia long before the arrival of the Russians in the 17 th century. Although the southern Khanty no longer live the traditional lifestyle, the eastern and northern Khanty continue to maintain their traditional activities as hunters, fisherman, and reindeer herders in a quickly industrializing region. Khanty who live along the river traditionally have been the fisherman while Khanty living on the upper reaches of the river devote their time primarily to hunting. (Levin and Potapov, 518). The economy of the Khanty is supported by a combination of fishing, hunting and reindeer herding. From September to December, Khanty hunters hunt elk, wildfowl, fox, and squirrels then move to their winter settlements which are huts made of thin beams or thick boards with no ceiling and a two-sided roofs. (Levin and Potapov, 525) Fire is the only form of lighting and heat during the winter months. In mid-January, the hunters emerge from these winter homes and travel to market to sell furs, deerskins, and barter with other tribes for fish and wooden products. Hunting continues from January until mid-April when the rivers open up after the winter thaw and the hunters move towards the rivers for summer fishing. Although Khanty have used guns since their introduction in the 20

Takomaq, an Iglulik Eskimo woman spontaneously created this song to greet the Danish ethnographer Knud Rasmussen, who visited her deep in winter and contributed tea to her table, adding to the meal she prepared for him. A Folklorist's Journey My interest in the cultural heritage of Native America began to take shape in my first years in graduate school with a philological interest in the literary character of Native American oral texts. As I learned more of indigenous aesthetics and understood the dynamics of oral literature as performance, it became clear to me that I must move from the study of recorded texts to the study of living performances and do substantive fieldwork. New Mexico provided me the opportunity to put my knowledge and skills as a professional folklorist at the service of traditional cultures in general and Indian communities in particular. Working with living traditions and understanding how expressive forms emerge from the complex social, historical and environmental forces that shape culture called me into an even deeper, interdisciplinary engagement with these communities. Documentation was clearly an inadequate response for me as a responsible scholar. Like others, I began to evaluate how my skills and knowledge could benefit traditional communities by helping them to preserve traditions in situ, and my work evolved into yet another dimension.

Their right to decide the fate of their traditional lands has been largely ignored and the compensation provided to them has been insufficient. This has sparked several protest actions, closing roads to oil and gas projects on Sakhalin, by the indigenous peoples and their allies in January and June 2005. Residents of the Korsakov region in the south of the island have also made numerous serious grievances against Sakhalin II's project operator and its contractors, with little satisfaction, and continued lack of transparency in the project's development.

Contrary to the expressed desires of the Shoshone people, over 700 nuclear tests were detonated at the Nevada Test Site which is part of this land. The US Department of Energy has chosen Yucca Mountain, also in Nevada - which is on the land of the Paiute nation - as a burial ground for high level radioactive waste from US civilian nuclear power plants. The mountain has at least 35 active earthquake fault lines running through it. Native nations have been part of the story of nuclear contamination since the dawn of the atomic age. Indigenous peoples have been disportionately affected by the international nuclear weapons and power industries. The Marshall Islanders "My own health has suffered as a result of radiation poisoning.

70. The "Indigenous Peoples" Category In Russian Legislation Definitions of indigenous peoples in russian legal discourse, Many identifiedby russian law as indigenous smallnumbered peoples (see those listed in http://home.wlu.edu/~goluboffs/260/indigenous.html

Anthropology News, December 2003 (pp. 6-7) SERGEI SOKOLOVSKI INSTITUTE OF ETHNOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY, MOSCOW Russian Topology Continuities between contemporary thinking and discussion about indigenous peoples in Russia and historic perceptions of these peoples include: This topology in perceiving indigenous peoples allows me to reconstruct what it means to be categorically different in the standard thinking of an average Russian industrial center inhabitant. It means to be born and to live in remote rural areas; speak a different (non-Russian) language; to be a member of a different (non-Orthodox) confession; to have other values, lifestyles, cultures, professions (that are not typical for urban areas); to be poorly educated and to have different needs and interests. This distorted perception makes it possible for Russian elites to decide destinies of others categorically different than themselves and effectively nullifies the rationality of projects aimed at improving the life of indigenous peoples. Russian Legislation This definition contradicts the established international approach to delineating an indigenous peoples category (as outlined in the International Labour Organisation Convention 169) since it is based primarily on political and numerical criteria rather than the special needs and interests of such groups and their denial to be integrated into mainstream culture. Many identified by Russian law as indigenous small-numbered peoples (see those listed in the table) are actually well integrated and settled groups with market-oriented economies and other characteristics very similar to mainstream Russian culture.

Georgetown International Environmental Law Review Spring 2001 by Osherenko, Gail Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. I. INTRODUCTION The development of indigenous rights regarding land and resources in Russia diverges sharply from the development of indigenous land rights in the Canadian North and Alaska. Although indigenous leaders in Russia have occasionally asserted indigenous rights to land and resources, to date there has been no serious or sustained discussion of indigenous group rights to ownership of land. Russian law emphasizes rights to use lands for "traditional activities"-hunting, fishing, reindeer herding, trapping, small-scale gardening and plant gathering, handicrafts-and calls for protection of lands and resources where such activities occur; but the law does not anticipate transfer of unrestricted rights to indigenous peoples to use lands and resources as they might choose. Acknowledgement of indigenous title to land may not be politically feasible in the Russian Federation; and perhaps it is not even a preferable route to ensure cultural resilience.

Europa The European Union in the World Delegations the European Commission's Delegation to Russia [EN] - RU Recent Press Releases and Speeches 09 August 2005 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE WORLD’S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TO BE MARKED 9 AUGUST, 2005 On 9 August, on the occasion of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, European Commissioner in charge of External Relations and Neighbourhood Policy, has sent the following message of support and solidarity to indigenous people across the globe: “On behalf of the European Commission I wish to send a message of support and solidarity to indigenous people across the globe. The International Day of the World’s Indigenous People is a day for celebrating the cultural diversity and enormous contribution to humanity of the indigenous people of the world. It is also an opportunity for the European Commission to renew its commitment to promoting their rights. Unfortunately, discrimination against indigenous peoples and minorities continues. We have made progress in introducing legislative changes and affirmative action, but we must ensure that attitudes change too. Only by turning principles into practice can we guarantee effective protection of their rights. We also believe that active cooperation with indigenous peoples is essential for poverty elimination, sustainable development, human rights and democracy. We respect their cultural identities and choices in shaping the social, economic and cultural development of their communities. The European Commission strives to empower indigenous peoples and integrate their concerns into our policies, programmes and projects.

Tiempo Climate Newswatch A recent workshop held in Moscow bought together representatives of indigenous peoples to discuss the opportunities, constraints and the way ahead for an effective stewardship of the natural resources in the Russian North. Newswatch Editor Sarah Granich reports. A significant start toward addressing this need was made in Moscow at a workshop held in February 2005. The Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North and the Saami Council hosted the workshop, titled "Co-Management and Community-Based Natural Resource Management: World-wide Experiences and Perspectives Relevant to Challenges and Opportunities in the Russian North". GRID-Arendal offices in Norway and Sweden. Experts in the field of co-management and community-based natural resource management from Africa were also in attendance so that participants could benefit from their experience. Through these times of increased awareness as to the importance of nature conservation, there has also been a growing recognition that local stewardship and proper management linked with income-generation from wildlife, fish, forests, and rangelands is important. Devolution of resource tenure lies at the heart of what is commonly known as co-management and community-based natural resource management. In Africa, experiments of market-led conservation with a strong human dimension have also proved successful. A number of African countries started to transfer resource management responsibilities from governments to local communities in the 1980s, when conventional conservation practices often failed.

Former book of the month for July 2002 Page date: July 15, 2002 Review by Ethel Dunn After the collapse of the Soviet Union, indigenous peoples in Russia started to get organised and a movement emerged that has achieved many developments in the past more than 10 years. The indigenous umbrella organisation in Russia, the Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North (RAIPON), celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2000, an occasion for looking back at its work during its 10-year history and at the same time looking forward to the new millennium. Many leaders of indigenous peoples of the North gathered in Moscow for the anniversary celebration and met with people from all over the world, who were invited to join this special event. For this occasion, RAIPON produced a book with articles by indigenous leaders and politicians from all parts of Russia, who outlined the history, events and conditions of the recent decade. This book is the translation of the original Russian version and an attempt to strengthen the awareness outside the country of the struggle of indigenous peoples in Russia. The book can be directly ordered from IWGIA on the web: http://www.iwgia.org/order_book.phtml?id=17

Review of Ziker, John (2002) Peoples of the Tundra. Northern Siberians in the Post-Communist Transition . Prospect Heights, IL: Waveland Press. Page date: 1 May 2003 Gail Fondahl, University of Northern British Columbia Peoples of the Tundra provides an informative account of post-Soviet adaptations in the remote indigenous community of Ust-Avam on the Taymyr penisula. He suggests that, counter to global trends of even remote communities becoming increasingly linked with the world economy, in this region, isolation and independence is on the rise. Ziker pays specific attention to the evolution of property rights and land use, noting the significant disjunction between new legal provisions for land rights, and preferred property arrangements in situ Ziker ends his book with a bit of a potpourri: Chapter 7 deals with social/kinship organization of the Dolgans and Nganasans (including quantitative measures of relatedness); and a quick introduction to recent trends in the political organization of indigenous peoples across Russia. He notes rightly that while indigenous organization activities have expanded rapidly, as has international cooperation, the regions receive little benefit. This in fact is a predicament acknowledged by the top leaders of the Russian indigenous leaders. References Anderson, D.G. 2000. Identity and Ecology in Arctic Siberia.
