The London Declaration 5) That surface and subsurface rights of indigenous peoples and all mining FOR ECOLOGICALJUSTICE IN INDONESIA (England) Xiong Chuhu, hmong UNITED LIBERATION http://www.minesandcommunities.org/Charter/londondec.htm
Extractions: We - twenty four representatives of communities and groups affected by mining from Asia-Pacific, Africa, India, South and North America - met in London from May 18-23rd 2001, to compare the impacts of mining on the lives of communities and ecosystems and to share strategies on how to confront the industry. London is the minerals capital of world, where a major proportion of global capital investment in mining is raised and the most active metals trading takes place. It is here that the international headquarters of some of the major mining companies are located, and that recent initiatives have been launched, seeking to persuade the "international community" that the minerals industry can continue many of its unacceptable practices. These initiatives include the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development programme (MMSD) which is supported by more than thirty leading mining companies, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the London-based International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). We have seen our peoples suffering for many years from mining in all stages and forms, and from exploration to development through to abandonment. Industrial mining has caused grievous pain and irreparable destruction to our culture, our identities and our very lives. Our traditional lands have been taken, and the wealth seized, without our consent or benefit.

Extractions: The United States' Attack on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples ...in practice, the US adamantly refuses to be held accountable to the terms of any of the instruments promulgated to protect human rights... State's plan is clearly intended to neutralize that document [Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples] and to sterilize the movement for recognition and protection of indigenous peoples' rights. More than any other state, at any time, the United States has used indigenous peoples as expendable instruments to achieve foreign policy objectives . Just a few of these peoples include the Kuna Indians of Panama, the Baltic peoples and Ukrainians and Georgians of the Soviet Union, the Hmong of Laos, the "Montagnards" of Vietnam, the Tibetans of China, the Ovimbundu of Angola, the Kurds of Iraq (in 1975, 1991, and currently), and the Miskito Indians of Nicaragua. Most of the time, these peoples have played the roles of proxies in covert operations of the CIA, and thus State has never had to account for them in the "official" foreign policy it represents.

Extractions: Kakuma-Turkana T his book has touched the hearts of many with divergent backgrounds from around the world and across social, political, religious and economic backgrounds. It is a tribute to those portrayed here, both the refugees at Kakuma Camp and the indigenous peoples of Turkana. FROM THE DUST JACKET Daniels photographs bring awareness to an enormous suffering, sustained in dignity by these amazing people. I pray his passion influences a new generation to demand social and political change. OLIVER STONE is an Academy Award-winning filmmaker who has garnered critical acclaim for his wide-ranging films of social commentary. He first met Dan in August 2000 at Kakuma Refugee Camp. From a personal level, I am drawn to Dannys work as our family lived in Kenya while I was a young girl and its people hold a special place in my heart. Dannys photographs stand alone, however, and tell an important story. His powerful images bridge us as humans. The depth of the pictures pushes us beyond the expected differences and transports us to the unexpected-to our very humanness.

Extractions: Jon Gjerde , senior consulting editor for Peoples , is an Associate Professor and chair of the Department of History at the University of California at Berkeley. His research interests include American immigration history since 1607. Among his publications are From Peasants to Farmers: The Migration from Balestrand Norway, to the Upper Middle West and Fertility, Marriage and Culture: Demographic Processes among Norwegian Immigrants to the Rural Middle West , co-authored with Anne McCants. In his essay on the significance of the frontier, Frederick Jackson Turner wrote that the Middle region [of the United States] was an open door to all Europe . It had a wide mixture of nationalities In short, it was a region mediating between New England and the South, and the East and the West. It represented that composite nationality which the contemporary United States exhibits, that juxtaposition of non-English groups, occupying a valley of a little settlement, and presenting reflections of the map of Europe in their variety. Some years later, when he was writing specifically on the Midwest, he noted again the diversity of the population in the region with its New England, Southern, and European heritages.
