Social and Humanitarian Committee: Rights of Indigenous Peoples Nehal Raj, Social and Humanitarian Committee chair In many parts of the world, the dominant ethnic group is different from the native ethnic group of that area. Indigenous (native) peoples often struggle to maintain traditional lifestyles amid a foreign culture, and are frequently subjected to condescension, exploitation and discrimination by the dominant group. The committee will examine ways to increase the voice of indigenous groups in governing their own affairs. We will also attempt to strike a balance between improving indigenous people's standards of living and facilitating interaction with modern society for those who wish it, and preserving traditional ways of life. Recent attempts have been made to precisely define the term "Indigenous Peoples." A report presented to a United Nations body has even proposed a definition of this term that has been used by a United Nations group in its work. In 1982, the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UNESCO), Commission on Human Rights adopted the following definition: Indigenous Populations are composed of the existing descendants of the peoples who inhabited the present territory of a country wholly or partially at the time when persons of a different culture or ethnic origin arrived therefrom other parts of the world, overcame them, and, by conquest, settlement, or other means, reduced them to a non-dominant or colonial situation; who today live more in conformity with their particular social, economic, and cultural customs and traditions then the institutions of the country of which they now form a part, under a state structure that incorporates mainly the national, social, and cultural characteristics of other segments of the population that are predominant.

A s the lights dimmed, the last members of the audience scurried to find their seats in the darkened ballroom The importance of indigenous peoples to conservation was explicitly recognized in the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD). Article 8j requires the signatory nations to a) respect, preserve, and maintain traditional knowledge, b) promote wide application of traditional knowledge, and c) encourage equitable sharing of benefits from traditional knowledge. Other than that brief mention, however, indigenous peoples and the importance of indigenous knowledge were largely ignored by the CBD, a situation which perhaps might be redressed in Rio +10. Yet the prospects for international recognition of indigenous peoples as stewards of threatened biodiversity are not good. Many otherwise progressive countries who have ratified the CBD remain reluctant to discuss indigenous issues, which sometimes bring up unpleasant memories of poor relationships with indigenous peoples in their own lands. Indigenous knowledge systems are imperilled perhaps even more than threatened plants. Linguists estimate that over half of all indigenous languages disappeared in the 20th century. Of those that remain, 80% are spoken only by elderly individuals. A tongue that is no longer spoken by little children is the linguistic equivalent of an endangered species. As these indigenous languages disappear the important cultural insights they contain in conservation also disappear.

Statement on behalf of the Nordic Countries by Ms. Viola Furubjelke, Chairperson, Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs of Sweden, in the 54th Session of the General Assembly, Third Committee, 1 November 1999. (Agenda item 113:Indigenous People) Mr./Ms. Chairman/Chairperson, Speaking on behalf of the Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland and my own country Sweden, I am pleased to address the issue of the International Decade of Indigenous Peoples. Almost 5 years has passed since the General Assembly in 1994 proclaimed the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People. Many activities related to the Decade have since taken place but much remains in terms of goals to be fulfilled. The theme of the Decade is "Indigenous People: Partnership in Action". This theme reflects the very idea of what we believe that the Decade is all about. The aim is to increase and strengthen, based on the idea of true partnership, international co-operation between states and indigenous peoples and between the indigenous peoples in order to find solutions to the problems facing indigenous peoples world-wide. To achieve this aim good relationships between the states and their indigenous peoples should be promoted and co-operation amongst the indigenous peoples themselves have to be encouraged. These relationships must be based on mutual respect and understanding for each other's cultural identity as well as respect for human rights.

International Co-ordination During the period under review WIMSA received numerous invitations to international conferences and workshops. Some had to be declined as only a few San to date have acquired the organisational, administrative, linguistic and representational skills needed for participation in such international events. Almost all of these few representatives work full time for San organisations and are sorely missed in the day-to-day running of the office and field work while they are attending international gatherings. Careful consideration and regional co-ordination therefore determined whether or not participation in each international gathering was possible. FPW Advisors Meeting 19th UNWGIP Session While in Geneva the San discussed issues of mutual concern with other indigenous peoples, met representatives of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and attended the AGM of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-ordinating Committee (IPACC), in which WIMSA/Botswana Co-ordinator Mathambo Ngakaeaja was elected as IPACC Chairperson for the Southern African Region.

The Earth as Mother Education in the International Decade of Indigenous Peoples: Bringing education back into the mainstream of Indigenous Peoples' lives By Raymundo Rovillos They wanted us to go to school And to turn the pages of books... Why learn the language of books When the forest speaks to you? One cannot eat books, And pens and pencils are poor weapons To kill the deer of the mountains And the grunting boar... This poem aptly illustrates one of the issues raised by Indigenous Peoples against the system of education that was imposed on them by colonial and neo-colonial powers. It is a biting indictment of an educational system that is perceived as unsuitable to their needs. Indeed, Indigenous Peoples in many parts of the world identify education as a crucial factor in the historical process of their marginalization. The process started at the onset of western colonization and was carried over by nation-states after decolonization. A Handmaiden of Assimilation In their attempt to consolidate colonial power, and later, nation-states, the ruling elite imposed a policy of assimilation nay westernization. This policy was implemented by missionaries and schools that they set up in Indigenous communities. This resulted in the virtual obliteration of most of the Indigenous Peoples’ way of life their cultural practices, traditions, arts, languages. Some elements of their culture, those that were deemed acceptable to the "moral" (i.e., western, Christian and patriarchal) standards of the colonizers and ruling elite, were integrated into the dominant national culture.

justice, peace, creation tasks and concerns: Indigenous Peoplese Walking together towards tomorrow Introduction: The Indigenous Peoples Programme focus is the plight and status of Indigenous Peoples around the world. The programme attempts to clarify the past and present issues of denial, destruction and denigration of Indigenous spiritualities and ancestral values that were exercised by colonisation and continued by dominant cultures, the most critical of which is the dispossession of the land on which Indigenous Peoples build and develop their lives and their spiritualities. Indigenous Peoples are among the (if not the ) most oppressed peoples in the world. The Indigenous Peoples Programme calls on the WCC to be proactive in its support for Indigenous Peoples and their struggles by: ensuring that the issues and concerns of Indigenous Peoples are continuing to be addressed throughout the programmatic work of the WCC and by doing so; engaging and encouraging its member churches to work in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples; challenging wider society which continues imposing oppressive actions.

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.

CONFERENCE INVITATION The Sami Council and the Grand Council of the Crees hereby invite you to an interesting and rewarding conference. The Boreal forest is integral to the northern indigenous peoples´ way of life. Its natural integrity is linked to their survival as peoples. Modern forestry creates threats, but there are opportunities, like certification schemes, that can initiate a responsible development. The conference will focus on this, including land and resource rights and will highlight forest practices that are ecologically appropriate and that promote the social and economic development of Indigenous communities. The conference follows the intentions of the EU plan Northern Dimension and a joint statement by Canada and the EU on Northern Co-operation where high priority is given to sustainable management of natural resources, preserving biodiversity and issues of interest to the Arctic indigenous peoples affected by Northern Dimension policies. The conference will bring together international forest experts, deputies, representatives of indigenous peoples, environmental associations and officials. The conference is open to an international audience. The programme is structured to allow for a constructive multi-

Committee: Commission on Human Rights Topic(s): The Rights of Indigenous Peoples Country The Kingdom of Sweden Delegation: Ryan R. Miller, Juniata College. I. General Statement The Kingdom of Sweden believes very strongly in human rights and protecting and respecting those of indigenous peoples, as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights applies to them as well. Sweden is home to approximately 20,000 Sami, natives of the area since the time of the Roman Empire. The rights of indigenous peoples have never been truly respected. First, it is appalling that the genocide of such peoples has been allowed to occur, even in this progressive century. Furthermore, governments must abolish the practice of proclaiming genetic cleansing operations to be merely the sad effects of war. Such crimes must be investigated, and perpetrators punished according to international law. The Kingdom of Sweden strongly believes that the genocide of indigenous peoples be the primary target of any human rights resolution produced by this committee. Second, Sweden is strongly concerned with worldwide health statistics of indigenous peoples, and supports the granting of basic living conditions to native populations. As a Christian country, Sweden condemns acts of genocide or the denying of basic living conditions to indigenous populations within the Kingdom’s borders as inhuman and against our values of national integrity.

THE SAMI SOCIETY The Sami have long lived in the northern parts of Scandinavia and the Kola Peninsula. A question that is often asked is: where do the Sami come from? The answer which can be given today is that the ancestors of the Sami are to be found among the hunting and trapping people who lived in the Arctic area of the Scandinavian countries during prehistoric times. Today the Sami live in four countries: Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia. The Sami are an ethnic minority and the indigenous people of these countries. The area the Sami inhabited, today called Sápmi, stretches from Idre in Dalarna in the south, to the Kola Peninsula in Russia to the northeast. Photo Gallery The estimated number of Sami is 50,000-75,000. Of these 15,000-20,000 live in Sweden, 30,000-50,000 in Norway, 4,000-5,000 in Finland and about 2,000 in Russia. During the last few decades there has been a significant emigration of Sami from the traditional Sami areas, which means that many Sami today live outside this area. About 20% of the Sami in Sweden live outside the districts of Norrbotten, Västerbotten and Jämtland. Originally the Sami made their living by fishing and hunting. It is likely that domesticated reindeer had been kept for a long time, as draught and pack animals as well as for milking and to entice wild reindeer when hunting them. During the 17th and 18th centuries reindeer husbandry was developed and the domesticated reindeer became the foundation of Sami livelihood.

Beyond the cultural sphere, indigenous peoples have reentered the arena of power. Under the battle cries of human rights and self-determination, they have become recognized actors in the world constitutive process. This Article is designed to review the legacy of conquest in various arenas around the planet, and to arrive at a transnationally valid conclusion, if possible, on the status of indigenous peoples under domestic law (Part I); to describe the actors and trends in decision-making in international indigenous law (Part II); and to appraise these developments with particular focus on the issues of conceptualization of indigenous peoples, their claims to self-determination, unique collective rights, as well as innovative avenues of enforcement (Part III).

80. Untitled to the real situation of indigenous peoples', given by experiences of its kind inindigenous America, and Ballovara, representative of the sami people, gave a http://www.unescoeh.org/unescoeh/indigenas/ingles/indi_cronicas_en.html

The 300 million or more indigenous people in the world today, who are distributed throughout approximately 4,000 different societies, represent 95% of mankind's cultural diversity. However, it is only recently that any serious attention has been paid to the existence, knowledge and possibilities offered by their cultures and languages, etc. In European countries, there is a strong tendency towards considering the cultural expressions of indigenous peoples (such as those of African origin, for example) as folklore, with certain derogatory undertones. Indigenous cultures are considered by some academics as popular cultures, simply because they are traditional. What this actually does is convert indigenous cultures into something exotic or picturesque, something less than culture, suitable for presentation in festivals or tourist spectacles, but very different from the major tendencies and movements of modern civilisation. Indigenous cultures, therefore, are seen as museum curiosities, recreational pastimes, the fossilised remains of societies incapable of obtaining so-called multiculturalism in their everyday lives. The term 'folklore' was coined during the middle of the 19th century, as a product of the nationalism and romanticism so prevalent during this era in Europe. Formed from the English words folk (people) and lore (wisdom), the word can be understood to mean the wisdom of the people. The dictionary definition is as follows:
