Extractions: To create an Indigenous-controlled international organization that advocates for Indigenous self-governance and assists in the delivery of culturally appropriate economic development. Summary The United Nations estimates that Indigenous peoples number approximately 300 million in more than 70 countries. For example, it is now generally accepted that there are Indigenous peoples in the Americas, Asia, Africa, the South Pacific (including Australia and New Zealand) and parts of Europe. Many of these Indigenous peoples remain isolated from the dominant societies of their own nation states. Many continue to be discriminated against solely as a result of their Indigenous status and unique world view. Many communities are just beginning the long, arduous journey toward self-governance and meaningful economic development and are looking for lessons and models from other Indigenous groups. In the last several years, First Nations Development Institute, a Native American grantmaker and technical assistance organization, has received numerous requests for financial and technical assistance from Indigenous groups in Africa, Australia, Russia and Latin America. These groups want to design and implement their own development projects and programs. They are interested in how "we made it work" and in what we have learned in more than 18 years of trial and error. In response, First Nations Development Institute has developed an international program called First Peoples Worldwide which will eventually spin off into a separate international organization. The goals of FPW are:

Extractions: Introduction: Muir summarizes an account of the traditional Aboriginal world view as follows: The Aboriginal universe is basically one in which physical, scientific qualities are irrelevant and the world takes on meaning through the qualities, relationships and laws laid down in the dreaming. The Aboriginal world is not constrained by time and space - the land is still inhabited by the same beings which were involved in its creation. The spirits of the dead are constantly present. Ceremonies not only re-enact the activities of ancient heroes but also recreate them. English words are inadequate to describe this historic and contemporary world.

Extractions: CULTURAL POLICIES Launched in 1996, this regional project is based in Dakar at the UN Institute for Economic Development and Planning (IDEP). It is intended to strengthen African national capacities in terms of planning, monitoring and evaluating development strategies, programmes and projects with a cultural angle. Since being inaugurated it has provided eight subregional training and awareness-building courses and conducted three regional research projects on various aspects of the interaction between culture and development. A donors' meeting was organized on 17 and 18 February 1999 in Dakar (Senegal) under the aegis of IDEP and UNESCO. Among the 65 participants were representatives from international, regional and subregional organizations, specialized agencies, governments, regional offices and partner countries of United Nations agencies. In 2000-2001 the project has been expanded in keeping with the conclusions of the 1998-1999 assessment of the experimental phase and consultations with potential donors. Partnership with national commissions, NGOs, academic institutions, development organizations and international funding agencies will be developed. The aim is to make some 200 decision-makers, planners and development agents aware of the interaction between culture and various development issues such as HIV/AIDS prevention.

Registered UK Charity No. 1082158 Indigenous Peoples and Protected Areas in Africa: From Principles to Practice Conference held in Kigali, Rwanda, 4-7 September 2001 In Africa one million square kilometres have been designated as conservation areas. Under the classic model of conservation, in which human presence is deemed incompatible with wildlife, local communities have been forcibly removed from conservation areas, resulting in loss of self-respect, culture and access to vital resources, and in social and economic marginalisation as well as impoverishment and destruction of age-old mechanisms for managing natural resources. New internationally-agreed conservation principles have been developed recognising the rights of indigenous peoples to the use, ownership and control of their traditional territories. However, implementation of this approach is lagging behind. The majority of communities affected by conservation continue to suffer impoverishment, lack of access to resources and cultural collapse. As part of a two-year project, funded by the UKs Community Fund, to support a dialogue between African indigenous peoples and conservation bodies, FPP in conjuction with CAURWA (Communauté des Autochtones Rwandais) held an international conference in Kigali in September 2001. This event brought together for the first time representatives of indigenous communities, African conservation managers and staff, and members of indigenous peoples support organisations. The conference provided a forum in which indigenous peoples from seven African countries presented their own case studies documenting the impacts of conservation projects on their lands and livelihoods. The discussion of each of these situations generated new insights into the issues and provided a constructive basis for much-needed future collaboration between affected communities and conservation agencies.

Extractions: Summary of case study presented at the CAURWA/FPP conference: Indigenous Peoples and Protected Areas in Africa: From Principles to Practice held in Kigali, Rwanda, September 2001 Workshop Presentation by The =Khomani San of South Afri ca by Roger Chennells The San peoples of South Africa have over the past century been decimated to the point of virtual extinction. Those that survived were driven off their traditional land, and forced to exist alongside the more powerful and dominant cultures of pastoralists and colonial landowners. Fewer and fewer San practiced their ancient culture, and as a group they and lifestyle became a thing of memory, as the San lost touch with the Kalahari wilderness. A group of San peoples, representing a number of language groups and known as the =Khomani San, decided in 1994 to launch a land claim under the new constitution. They claimed return of their ancient rights in and to their traditional land in the Southern Kalahari, most of which lay within the present Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. In March 1999 the first phase of the land claim was completed, as the government returned 40,000 hectares of farmland outside the Park to the San. This land, six farms in all, is to be used for the benefit and development of the approximately 1,000 San that are now members of the Trust and thus registered co-owners of this land. The intention is to use the land for game-farming, eco-tourism, and other related activities.

Extractions: 10-12 September 2003, Gaborone, Botswana Introduction The cultures, lifestyles and general quality of life of the Indigenous peoples across the world have attracted the attention of researchers, development practitioners, government officials and non-governmental organizations all over the world. However, limited opportunities exists for interested parties to meet and exchange information on a variety of development issues the directly or indirectly affect the Khoe and San. Questions are increasingly being raised on the extent to which the Khoe and San are included in their own development and thus able to shape their destiny. We are pleased to announce plans for an international Khoe and San conference to be held in Botswana University of Botswana ) on the 10-12 September 2003. The conference entitled: Research for Khoe and San Development will provide a unique environment for academics, government officials, development practitioners and the Khoe and San to dialogue on pertinent issues of mutual concern. The timing of this conference is opportune, given the recent international negative publicity about the treatment of the San in Botswana. It will raise the profile of the problem and provide essential information for future development in the area of research, policy making and programme implementation. Additionally, it will provide and an important platform for the Khoesan representatives to express their understandings and desires for more appropriate development policies and programmes.

Extractions: The South African NGO Biowatch organized with financial support and advice of GTZ the 2nd South-South Biopiracy Summit (22./23.08.02) directly prior to the World Summit on Sustainable Development 2002 (WSSD) to discuss issues of access to genetic resources and related benefit-sharing (ABS), which have not been sufficiently covered in the official preparatory process of WSSD. About 150 representatives of indigenous peoples, national and international NGOs, the academe as well as industry and politics from 20 countries world-wide participated in the conference, which generated considerable media attention in South Africa. In his opening keynote Dr. Tewolde Berhan Egziabher (Ethiopia) outlined the development of the international discussion on biopiracy in the context of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) an d highlighted critical the diverging interests of market oriented research and local communities, striving for survival. During the following presentations and discussions in the two parallel sessions on ABS and intellectual property rights (IPR) a general disappointment was expressed that the expectations generated by the CBD of bioprospecting as a tool for generating funds for nature conservation and improvement of the livelihoods of indigenous and local communities could not be fulfilled until today. As reasons predominantly missing legal frameworks at the national level, unequal negotiating power between bioprospecting companies and resource countries, lacking recognition of indigenous peoples by national governments and missing protection of traditional knowledge were pinpointed.

Extractions: Conference Hall, Kimberley, South Africa As the world prepared for the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), Indigenous Peoples were called upon to provide their own assessment of the implementation of sustainable development over the last decade and to identify which priorities and partnerships are important for them in the coming years. In 1992, at the United Nations World Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), Indigenous peoples were recognized as a Major Group, and the United Nations' objectives concerning their role is specified in Chapter 26, of Agenda 21. Ten years later, before the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development convened, Indigenous Peoples came together for an Indigenous Peoples' International Summit on Sustainable Development that was held in Kimberley, South Africa on 20-24 August, 2002. The summit's objective was to develop the Indigenous Peoples' Agenda for Sustainable Development, present it to the WSSD and develop strategies for its implementation beyond the WSSD.

From the desert Amazigh (Berbers) of the north to the Forest Peoples (Pygmies) of central Africa and the southern San (Bushmen), African indigenous peoples recognize a common struggle for cultural recognition and protection. Several African countries have now begun real dialogue on indigenous issues.

Their efforts in every area are buoyed by landmark developments such as the African Commission on Human Rights' decision, two years ago, to take indigenous issues up for discussion.

We again reaffirm our previous declarations on human and environmental sustainability.* Since 1992 the ecosystems of the earth have been compounding in change. We are in crisis. We are in an accelerating spiral of climate change that will not abide unsustainable greed. Today we reaffirm our relationship to Mother Earth and our responsibility to coming generations to uphold peace, equity and justice. We continue to pursue the commitments made at Earth Summit as reflected in this political declaration and the accompanying plan of action. The commitments which were made to Indigenous Peoples in Agenda 21, including our full and effective participation, have not been implemented due to the lack of political will. As peoples, we reaffirm our rights to self-determination and to own, control and manage our ancestral lands and territories, waters and other resources. Our lands and territories are at the core of our existence we are the land and the land is us; we have a distinct spiritual and material relationship with our lands and territories and they are inextricably linked to our survival and to the preservation and further development of our knowledge systems and cultures, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem management.

Extractions: 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.
