Iziko Museums of Cape Town South African Museum home : resources online archaeology/anthropology : Search archaeology in southern africa In southern Africa, we can trace our history from the very beginnings of people, who lived over two million years ago , through Stone Age hunters and gatherers, culminating in the San hunter-gatherers (`Bushmen'), Khoikhoi hunter-gatherer-herders (`Hottentots') and Iron Age Bantu-speaking farmers and herders (`black' people) who have inhabited this the subcontinent for millennia. Finally, we can also trace the first visits of European explorers, their colonization of the country and its effects on the people who were already there. How do we find out what we think we know about past people? Luckily, like us, past people left the remains of their food and other discarded items in rubbish dumps near where they lived. These include waste from making tools and equipment, food and fires for cooking and warmth. They were probably also forgetful, lost tools, equipment and ornaments or simply discarded them if they were worn out or not required at the next place they chose to move to. These provide the pieces of the puzzle that archaeologists use to fit together a picture of how they think past people lived. Archaeological puzzles always have missing pieces, however, because many of the materials used disintegrate and disappear over time or, like some social and cultural activities, leave little or no tangible or physical evidence. This means that we cannot reconstruct a complete picture of peoples' activities and social systems. What we have to do is to use all the clues we can find to help us to understand the meaning of what is preserved in order to build up the best picture we can. Sometimes snippets of information from a number of old living areas (sites) can be combined to give a more-detailed picture.

Climate Change The Bonn Declaration Third International Forum of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities on Climate Change July 14 – 15, 2001 Bonn, Germany Preamble We, the delegates of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities and indigenous organisations in the Third International Forum of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities on Climate Change convened in Bonn on July 14th and 15th, 2001 for the second session of the sixth Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP6B); reaffirm the Alburquerque Delaration, Quito Declaration, the Lyon Declaration of the First International Forum of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities on Climate Change, and the Hague Declaration of the Second Forum. We have historically and continue to play a fundamental role in the conservation and protection of the forests, biological diversity and the maintenance of ecosystems crucial for the prevention of severe climatic change. Long ago, our elders and our sciences foretold of the severe impacts of Western "development" models based on indiscriminate logging, oil exploitation, mining, carbon-emitting industries, persistent organic pollutants and the insatiable consumption patterns of the industrialized countries. Today, these unsustainable models threaten the very life of Mother Earth and the lives of all of us who are her children. We denounce the fact that neither the UNFCCC nor the Kyoto Protocol recognizes the existence or the contributions of Indigenous Peoples. Furthermore, the debates under these instruments have not considered the suggestions and proposals of the Indigenous Peoples nor have the appropriate mechanisms to guarantee our participation in all the debates that directly concern the Indigenous Peoples been established.

Indigenous Rights Indigenous rights and reparations: an interview with Alberto Saldamando by Ethan Flad Alberto Saldamando (Zapoteca/Chicano) is General Counsel of the International Indian Treaties Council Ethan Flad: Alberto Saldamando: Ethan Flad: Alberto Saldamando: I think that on a political level, from the states’ perspective, it was doomed to fail. Because I don’t think that the North – that includes Europe, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand – has any willingness to really grapple with the problem of racism. What killed it, and what was bound to kill it, was what killed the first two world conferences on racism and two [UN] "decades to struggle against racism" – the references to Israel. From an NGO perspective, particularly for a human rights worker, as I am, it’s very difficult to say that condemnation of Israel for its human rights abuses is anti-Semitic. It really is very difficult to swallow. But that’s essentially the position that Europe and the U.S. took: that any condemnation of the state of Israel was anti-Semitism. And that’s essentially the position that the Commissioner on Human Rights was taking. Ethan Flad: Mary Robinson?

We begin by examining the concept of a "Fourth World." Who are indigenous peoples and how have they been categorized in relation to "ethnic groups," colonization, and the international system of states? We examine current debates within the United Nations about indigenous peoples and human rights. We take a look at law and economics of colonialism and emerging issues of globalization. We explore the relationship of law and custom. Reading materials include fiction and non-fiction approaches to these themes.

We want to give special recognition and honour to our Korean brother, Mr. Lee-Kyung-Hae for his sacrifice carried out here in Cancun.  His act of self-immolation was an expression of cultural dignity which deeply reflects the daily reality of campesinos, peasants and the Indigenous peoples throughout the world, and the results of globalization and the free market.  We have come to Cancun to direct ourselves to the critical themes and the negative impacts of the WTO on our families, communities and nations.

Bushmen are fighting to remain in their Kalahari reserve Botswana is indeed one of the most pleasant and successful countries in Africa. But two important cases which will come before the courts in the capital, Gaborone, next week will hint at the direction Botswana is taking. And many people around the world may feel anxious as a result. Read John Simpson's previous columns The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) in Botswana is a vast, arid, yet immensely rich area, which for tens of thousands of years has been one of the chief hunting-grounds in southern Africa for the Bushmen. They are small, hardy, intelligent and gentle people, who have eked out a life for themselves while the rest of humanity developed along completely different lines.

91. Defining 'Indigenous People' David MayburyLewis, indigenous peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State (1997), p. 9. Some African peoples are conventionally considered to be tribal http://www.nativeweb.org/info/indigenousdefined.html

Defining 'Indigenous Peoples' "There is no hard and fast distinction between indigenous peoples and other kinds of localized ethnic groups. Who then are the peoples generally considered as 'indigenous'?" David Maybury-Lewis, Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State NativeWeb strives to provide quality content by and about indigenous peoples around the world. This means that we examine suggested site links to determine whether and how they relate to indigenous peoples. The difference between 'indigenous peoples' and 'ethnic groups' or 'minority groups' is sometimes difficult to determine. NativeWeb generally tries to err on the side of inclusion in deciding whether a suggested site is suitable for the database. Nevertheless, NativeWeb must respect some limits to maintain integrity and coherence. We have found that there is a spectrum ranging from sites directly related to peoples who have the distinction of living in their own lands since 'time immemorial' [indigenous peoples] to sites that relate to groups whose only distinction is that they are marginalized in the countries where they live [minority groups]. The former we generally include; the latter we generally reject. In the middle of this spectrum are a variety of sites that require careful analysis to decide whether they are proper to include in NativeWeb. The fact that a site relates to people who are ethnically or culturally different from the 'mainstream' of the country where they live does not necessarily mean the site relates to 'indigenous peoples.'

Indigenous Knowledge and Development Monitor July 1999 Contents IK Monitor (7-2) IKDM Homepage ikdm@nuffic.nl Calls Calls for research co-operation Calls for information Calls for research co-operation Indigenous aged care -some international comparisons This is a call to expand the available knowledge on the provision of aged care among the indigenous people of the South Pacific region. Dialogue is sought with people who could make available existing papers or establish a new research project in this field. This research direction, which comes from a non-indigenous perpective, rests on the assumption that there is an interface between indigenous and non-indigenous people. Contributors would be encouraged to join a network through which to share information on this topic, with a view to gaining a better understanding of such aspects as: - the effect of non-indigenous colonization on the current degree of power experienced by indigenous people - the perception of non-indigenous services by indigenous people - the level of exclusion experienced by linguistic minorities as a result of a lack of resources - the effect of economic development on the provision of aged care to indigenous people - the health care issues most relevant to local communities of indigenous people.

IWGIA Updates News Archives IWGIA Updates IWGIA Updates are published in our quarterly publication Indigenous Affairs and provides an insight into events and developments relevant to indigenous peoples worldwide. Note that not all Indigenous Affairs contain an IWGIA Update and therefore some issues are not included here. Maasai in urban Tanzania Photo: Johnson Ole Kaunga In December 2004, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution establishing a second Decade devoted to the rights of indigenous peoples. IWGIA welcomes this decision. As we said in the last issue of this magazine, a proactive approach must be taken to the second Decade in which the main challenge for indigenous peoples will be to put the international achievements gained during the first Decade into practice in order to protect the rights of indigenous peoples in national and regional contexts. In December, the UN Working Group dealing with drafting a declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples met in an extraordinary session in Geneva. As usual, IWGIA took active part and facilitated indigenous participation. Unfortunately, the working group was unable to make substantial progress and now, 10 years on, there is still no outline of a declaration and its future is completely uncertain. It is now up to the UN Commission on Human Rights to decide if the working group's mandate should possibly be extended for one or two years. However, the future of the declaration is uncertain not least because a number of governments are completely unwilling to accept even the most basic demands of indigenous peoples, such as rights to lands and territories. It has been sad to observe how some governments' rhetoric remains firmly rooted in a colonial history.

Weskus Stories West Coast R27 Route 27 West Coast Towns Off the Beaten Track From Crayfish to Iron The Forgotten People of the West Coast: Who were the GuriQua? The coastal regions of the south-western Cape were densely occupied by pastoralists, or herders, known as the Khoikhoi. The West Coast region was the land of the CochoQua, which included Saldanha Bay to Vredenburg. The ChariGuriQua or GuriQua occupied the lower Berg River area, St Helena Bay and points around Piketberg. Archaeological sites on the West Coast, like Kasteelberg, show occupation by herders between 1800 and 1600 years ago. Places where whales often strand themselves along the shore are known as 'cetacean traps', which are areas where minima in the earth's magnetic field cross the shoreline, and where there are offshore reefs. St Helena Bay, or more specifically, Slipper Bay appears to be one of these 'cetacean traps', approximately 12km from Kasteelberg. It is well recorded that whale meat was used by the Khoikhoi. The GuriQua and the SonQua (Bushmen) are forgotten in the history of the West Coast. They were here to witness the arrival and departure of Vasco da Gama. He stayed a mere 8 days in St Helena Bay and is revered as one of the greatest navigators and explorers. The history of the Khoikhoi and the SonQua after 1652 is well documented and it would be impossible to summarise it in this short review, except to mention the 1713 small-pox epidemic, which was one of the main causes for the virtual disappearance of the Khoikhoi from the south-western Cape.

News 2005 Indigenous people resist DNA-project Genographic research as neo-colonial attitude Medical News Briefs By Marietta Gross The ambitious DNA profiling "Genographic project" (See.. http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic ) which seeks to retrace the path of human settlement on Earth has been encountering resistance among indigenous people. After a boycott-appeal by the US-American Indigenous Peoples Council on Biocolonialism http://www.ipcb.org , now some Maori and African First Nations have also announced concerns over the project . The project which seeks to find the settlement of the Blue Planet beginning from Africa by means of genetic samples of several 100,000 inhabitants was started in April by IBM and the science magazine National Geographic. The main point of criticism by native people is the argument, that the research is in effect a modern form of colonialism, explained Paul Reynolds from the Maori Research Centre at Auckland University. "Indigenous people already have a history of their origin which was communicated over generations by their ancestors. Further scientific proofs are thus decrepit."

Newsfront UNDP Administrator sees Mozambique's recovery from floods Wednesday, 5 September 2001: Mozambique's Gaza Province, hit hard by floods that drove 233,000 people from their homes last year and suffering more flood damage this year, is rebuilding with outside assistance, UNDP Administrator Mark Malloch Brown reported following a visit to the area last week. The Administrator, accompanied by Abdoulie Janneh, UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Regional Director for Africa, met with President Joaquim Chissano and other leaders during his visit on 27 - 29 August. The Administrator said that the "overwhelming impression" from his visit to Gaza "is that normal life has been restored and sensible improvements have been made." The recovery efforts have moved many villages from flood-prone areas to higher ground, rebuilt government infrastructure and improved water supply systems. Mr. Malloch Brown co-chaired the donor conference in Rome in May 2000, where donors promised over US$ 450 million to support flood recovery. Thus far, $360 million has been disbursed. The donors' response to the 2000 floods "was remarkable and showed confidence in the country," he said.
