His research and programmatic work for maintaining multilingualism in India naturally led to his interest in global language diversity and its relation to other diversities in the world. This interest is also reflected in his continuing work on the panel of the Documentation of Endangered Languages Project of the Rausing Foundation in London. He serves as a member of the National Council for the Promotion of Indian Languages chaired by the Prime Minister of India. He is also involved in the creation of databases and dictionaries of Indian languages, particularly Tamil, his mother tongue.

As an Indigenous man of the Wiradjuri Tribe of New South Wales in Australia, I have had considerable exposure to multimedia including the internet and its so called trappings over the last 9 years. But what concerns me most as an Indigenous person is the amount of Indigenous content on the Web and the lack of authenticity of these pages. History shows that over the last few centuries Indigenous cultures of the world have suffered injustices from ignorant, narrow minded society's and their lack of appreciation and understanding of anothers culture, society and spirituality. But what really gets my back up is the total absorbtion of Indigenous cultures, after the dismantling by the invading culture through either genocide, government policy, stealing children and disempowerment through the lack of currency and information sharing, we now have the invading culture immersing themselves within the culture that they have suppressed. I feel it is totally inadequite and rude that Universities, Public Broadcasters and archival structures sell this material for say $100 a second or if not portray themselves on the Net via the Web with large corporate looking pages with no input or consent from communities regarding the Intelectual Property of either the content or images.

Territoriality and State-Sami Relations Scott Forrest University of Northern British Columbia Abstract Introduction The Sami are the indigenous people of northern Fennoscandia and the Kola Peninsula. Although their origin is uncertain, there is little dispute that the Sami were the occupants, since time immemorial, of the northernmost region of Fennoscandia when 'neighbouring' states colonized the area. The practice of reindeer herding is central to the Sami way of life, often regarded as the defining feature of Sami culture. Although the Sami have not always been herders, their connection to reindeer extends for at least one thousand years. The development of herding over the past four hundred years resulted in a very different form of territorial organization than found in the nation-states of Europe. 'Western' or 'modern' views of territory are characterized by fixed, exclusive, geographically bounded space. Exact borders are defined which show where one territory ends and another begins. The Sami are a pastoral nomadic people, and these absolute notions of territory are not suitable for a lifestyle based on reindeer husbandry, which requires collective herding, seasonal migration, and flexible and adaptive land uses.

68. Arctic Council - Indigenous Peoples Involvement 7 The sami Council represented by Leif Halonen described the contribution ofindigenous peoples in the following way we the sami are able to agree and http://arcticcircle.uconn.edu/NatResources/Policy/tennberg.html

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' INVOLVEMENT IN THE ARCTIC COUNCIL [Reprinted with permission from Northern Notes , IV:21-32 (December, 1996)] Monica Tennberg The Arctic Council, which was established in September 1996, will take over the activities of the AEPS. The final AEPS ministerial meeting will be held next summer in Norway. During the negotiations to establish the Council the rules of participation developed under AEPS were renegotiated and the role of indigenous peoples' organizations in the cooperation was discussed. Olav Schram Stokke described the proposal to establish the Arctic Council as "an institutional knot tying together the various-level cooperative processes in the Arctic. The proposal aims to merge two parallel processes in the Arctic: internationalization and transnationalization." These transnational processes include cooperation between scientists (International Arctic Science Committee, IASC), among indigenous peoples (Arctic Leaders Summit) and within the organization of local and regional governments in the Circumpolar North (the Northern Forum). Institutions such as the Arctic Council are interesting because of the constitutive rules that are created through institutionalization. Michel Foucault situated institutions within "the thin but entangling web of power relations." Power is a name that is given to the complex strategic situation in a society. At some particular time, power relations may be crystallized into a certain institution. Institutions are "the most readily definable macro-objects, grosser instruments for the finer, more elemental workings of power." Thus, it is a question of analyzing institutions from the standpoint of power and not from a standpoint of institutions.

Indigenous Peoples in the Barents Region Cultures in the Northern parts of the Barents Region have remained vital and resilient, despite tremendous social, demographic, and technological changes during the twentieth century. The lives of indigenous and other Arctic peoples are closely linked to local resources, particularly by their dependence on wildlife harvesting, which form a basis for indigenous society, cultures, and economies. Spiritual ties to the environment are strong, and the diet is based on traditional foods. In addition to the general health problems in the north-west Russia, the Nenets population appears to have increased immune deficiency. Local medical experts connect this with the consequences of atmospheric nuclear tests carried out at the near-by Novaya Zemlya archipelago between 1955-62, as these heath problems are found to occur 1.6 times more frequently among the native population relative to newcomers. It should also be noted that from 1982-92, the average annual increase of cancer morbidity among the Nenets people was 9.8 %, relative to 2.4 % among the Russian population. The drinking water supply in Naryan-Mar is taken from the Pechora River. Accidents along the oil pipeline in the Komi Republic have led to the release of vast quantities of petroleum hydrocarbons. There is a fear that some of the petroleum may be transported with the Pechora River to the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

"It shows Sami are very strong, but not stupid, because if we were stupid, we would fight with weapons and lose." To do this Mathisen has chosen to enrich Sami language and culture through his series of maps that depict the world, as seen by Sami eyes. His maps are made to inform, please the eye, and catch attention, so if you look closely, you might find a joke written in tiny script around a border, or you can try to decipher a story written in mysterious mirror writing. Another map includes a small drawing of the moon with its geographical features, usually identified in Latin, that Mathisen re-named in Sami. First map a sensation "It made a sensation. This is one of the main objects that had an effect," Mathisen said.

Magga told Nunatsiaq News that he will work toward a binding UN convention to safeguard the rights of indigenous peoples to land, resources, culture and language. "It will also be important to have some kind of monitoring of the ongoing violation of basic human rights in all parts of the world where indigenous peoples live," Magga said.

Lies and disinformation To understand some of the issues of this page we might have to backpedal a bit with a set of definitions and examples. If you already are familiar with the term and concepts of "indigenous" and "Cultural property rights" feel free to scroll down. What does indigenous mean? A good definition can be found in the International Organization of Labor's [OIT] covenant Art 1b: "-To the indigenous peoples in independent countries, considered indigenous because they descend from populations which inhabited the country or a geographical region belonging to the country during the era of the conquest or colonization and the establishment of the actual borders of the present states and which, no matter their legal situation, still preserve all their appropriate social, economic, cultural institutions or remnants of them." UN and the European Union does recognize the Sami as an indigenous people and representatives from the Sami nation participates in the United Nations global indigenous peoples' projects and conferences. But Sweden and Finland who is members of these same organisations paradoxally does not recognize the Sami's as such instead referring to the Sami peoples as a minority within each country. This might seem to be a minor difference, yet it has far-reaching consequences for the Sami people in issues regarding landrights and the preservation of the culture.
