SABER AZAM
United Nations Peacekeeping Operations O ne of the oldest civilizations on Earth, the indigenous peoples of Turkana have lived isolated in Kenya’s remote northwest for thousands of years. Existing in the tormented, civil war-torn heart of the continent, their way of life is now threatened by the added pressure of Kakuma Refugee Camp. Families from Sudan and East Africa, fleeing violence in their homelands, have sought sanctuary here since 1992. The dueling struggles for the sparse resources of this unforgiving region touched author and photographer Daniel Cheng Yang. With passion, dedication and compassion, he conveys the harsh reality of refugee life in his imagery—the plight of the over 40 million refugees in the world today—and the conflict between ancient traditional and contemporary civilizations. A powerful, moving documentary of forgotten peoples, Daniel’s work has gained international attention for its depth of human expression and been shown in Paris at the Louvre, as well as in New York and Yokohama. At the author’s request, a portion of book proceeds will go to fund food and supplies for the more than 81,000 refugees at Kakuma.

Shedding light on the plight of refugees, indigenous people
by Lucy Y. Her, StarTribune staff reporter As a boy, Daniel Cheng Yang would ask his father to tell him stories about life in Laos. The 8-year-old would sit across from his father and listen to what it was like to live in the jungle, running and hiding from the Laotian government after the Vietnam War. Like many Hmong, Daniel's father had fought for U.S. forces against Communists in Laos during the war. William Yang eventually made his way to a refugee camp in Thailand. "In the camp, you have no hope, you have no future," his father told him. The stories stayed with Daniel, of St. Paul, and they shaped him into an 18-year-old who's so committed to shedding light on the plight of refugees and other struggling people that he traveled to Africa several times by himself, even taking some time off school, to document their conditions. Such is the focus of his book, "Kakuma Turkana Dueling Struggles: Africa's Forgotten Peoples," which will be published in August. The book is a compilation of 75 black-and-white photos of the Turkana people of remote northwestern Kenya and of refugees who live nearby in the Kakuma Refugee Camp. In each photo, Daniel shows how the Turkanas' way of life is surviving despite the influx of more than 81,000 refugees from war-torn Sudan and Uganda. The camp, which was opened in 1992, is bringing in people whose cultures clash with the Turkana and who are competing for scarce resources, such as water and land.

The Indigenous Information Network
Founded in 1996, the Indigenous Information Network (IIN) works to develop connections between Indigenous groups in Kenya, strengthen Indigenous demands for human rights and enhance the political participation of Indigenous Peoples. Its goal is to help Indigenous Peoples become more effective in making demands of the government and securing their human rights. The Indigenous Information Network organizes trainings in Maasai, Samburu, Rendille, Turkana and other Indigenous communities. Trainings focus on human rights, HIV/AIDS and forced female genital mutilation among Indigenous Peoples. Through their Breaking the Silence program, IIN offers trainings to thousands of people in eight districts throughout Kenya, focusing on communities with high rates of HIV infection. In order to reach as many people as possible, IIN offers trainings in schools and in homes. Special workshops for health workers focus on proper care for HIV/AIDS patients. The impact of the trainings reaches far beyond the thousands of direct participants, since workshop attendees are trained to bring information to and continue discussions with friends and families.

Country Overview
In Kenya, Indigenous Peoples are fighting to retain their human rights, including collective control of their ancestral lands. Much of these lands have been seized for game parks, forest preserves, tourism, agribusiness and military bases. In the Samburu district, for example, 80 percent of land is “protected” by the state, leaving the Samburu people only 20 percent, which they manage using sustainable methods. Use of any “protected” area in Samburu district during difficult drought conditions must be negotiated with state authorities. Illegal arrests by wildlife park and forest officials are common and those arrested usually do not speak English (the language of the law) well enough to defend themselves.

General discussion on indigenous category
I don't feel comfortable about categories that seem to be motivated by misconceptions (re: there has been a misconception that these peoples... ). I also think this category has POV problems (read Maasai and Mukogodo-Maasai to see one obvious problem). In North America and Australia, this seems to be a term that is commonly used. In Africa however it isn't. Let's stick to using it only where is is in common use — I don't see why we would need to add almost every single ethno-stub to this category. — mark 12:53, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) edit
Validity, usefulness and what should be included?
I should like to further explore in some detail the notions on whether or not this Category is a valid, useful, or desirable one. In my view, I believe that it is (or can be made so- at present, it has only a few, almost random entries, and as such is deficient). In response to some likely questions:
  • Is there a valid and recognised sense in which the term or label indigenous peoples is applied to a variety of cultural groups in some "unifying" way - given their obviously great diversity of experience, culture and history? Yes. Apart from its "everyday" meaning, the term has a real and specific usage found in national and international law, political, historical and anthropological academia, and specialised organisational and representational literature. Contemporary usage or identification as indigenous is an often quite explicit, even political act, made by the communities themselves or other organisations. The current main

    Indigenous Peoples In Kenya - An Overview

    NAIROBI, KENYA
    A. Introduction
    "Indigenous people" is a concept we now often encounter in discussions on human rights, democracy, political development and civil society. This has followed from the continuing and deepening crisis if human suffering on a larger scale I the political, social, economic and cultural field as well as human rights abuses. At the same time, there have been political responses to colonial and post colonial pressures and political alienation of indigenous peoples. In many parts of Africa people are looking for new perceptions and new solutions to old problems and difficulties and taking part in the global discussion on indigenous rights has become one of the strategies in the struggle for a just development.
    This brief overview on indigenous peoples of Kenya is supposed to serve as a guideline in defining, planning and prioritizing assistance to the poor, marginalised indigenous peoples of Kenya. It was requested as a further elaboration of MS's development assistance to Kenya. It begins by recalling definitions used to identify indigenous peoples in the world and in Africa, then it assesses the "indigenousness" of those groups of people who have been identified as indigenous in Kenya and their struggle for recognition and demands for fairness and justice. There is also a brief discussion on the relevance of MS's policy on indigenous peoples and a few points on strategies to be followed by potential donors in order to alleviate the suffering of indigenous peoples in the region.

    Toward a Low End Theory
    January 25 - March 2, 2003
    Opening Reception: Saturday, January 25, 6-9pm
    New York-based curators Matthew Bakkom (a native of Minneapolis) and Stephen Apicella Hitchcock have assembled 18 artists and art collectives to address the causes of cataclysmic change in the exhibition Toward a Low End Theory. The curators explain,
    "Taking as its point of departure the notions of trajectory, fidelity and resonance, Low End Theory is marked most significantly by localized, individually oriented points of emergence. This theory may be considered the descriptive term for a time period during the initial stages of a building arc, a qualifier for describing a method of do-it-yourself fabrication or the ripple effect of an event or work of art beyond its immediate or surface meaning."
