Press Release SG/SM/8332 OBV/283 CONSENSUS TRADITION CAN CONTRIBUTE TO CONFLICT RESOLUTION, SECRETARY-GENERAL SAYS IN INDIGENOUS PEOPLE'S DAY MESSAGE Following is the message by Secretary-General Kofi Annan for the International Day of the World's Indigenous People, today, 9 August: We celebrate this year's International Day of the World's Indigenous People in the wake of the first historic session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.  Thanks to the Permanent Forum, indigenous peoples now have a home at the United Nations, a space where they can make their voices heard and their issues known before the world.  Just as importantly, it offers Forum members, most of whom are indigenous persons, an opportunity to help the Economic and Social Council find solutions to the problems indigenous communities face all over the globe. We have much to learn from indigenous peoples.  The tradition of consensus found among many of them can contribute to conflict resolution and good governance.  Medicinal knowledge discovered, developed and passed from generation to generation by indigenous peoples is of enormous value.  Likewise, indigenous peoples can teach us a great deal in managing complex ecosystems, promoting biodiversity, increasing crop productivity and conserving land. On this International Day of the World's Indigenous People, let us pay tribute to the effort and hard work that went into creating the Forum, thus ushering in a new era in the history of indigenous peoples at the United Nations.

CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY THE DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL ADDRESS TO THE FIRST SESSION OF THE PERMANENT FORUM ON INDIGENOUS ISSUES New York, 13 May 2002 Mr. President, [of ECOSOC] [Mr. Malloch Brown,] [Ms. Tibaijuka,] [Ms. Robinson,] Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen, It is a great pleasure to join you on a truly historic day for the world’s indigenous peoples and for the United Nations. I would like to thank Mr. Sid Hill for that beautiful and very moving traditional welcome. Mr. Hill is the Tadodaho, or spiritual leader – a title believed to date back 1,000 years of the six nations that make up the Haudenosaunee People [of North America]. The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues is a milestone in the struggle of thousands of indigenous peoples to win recognition of their rights and identities. We should give credit first and foremost to indigenous peoples themselves for coming together behind the idea of a Forum. Next, the Economic and Social Council – and in particular those members that long argued for greater participation of indigenous peoples in the United Nations deserves congratulations for its visionary decision to establish the Forum. And last but not least, the High Commissioner for Human Rights and her staff deserve praise for their hard work. This moment has been a long time coming. In the 1920s, Native Americans approached the League of Nations, but were met with indifference. Early efforts within the UN system achieved similarly little result until the 1950s, when the International Labour Organization became one of the most staunch defenders of indigenous rights. For far too long, indigenous peoples were justified in saying that their voices were smothered by the darkness of intolerance and neglect. From now on, this Forum will be there to bring their concerns to light.

28. The Anglican Council Of Indigenous Peoples -- June 21 - National Aboriginal Day In July of 2001, the general Synod of the Anglican Church of Church of Canada toa new relationship with the indigenous (or Aboriginal) peoples of Canada http://www.anglican.ca/acip/dayofprayer.html

About the day Resources About National Aboriginal Day of Prayer - June 21 In 1971 the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada adopted a resolution declaring June 21 as a "National Indian Day of Prayer" and requesting all dioceses to commend this day to parishes and congregations throughout Canada. In 1995, participants of the Sacred Assembly in Hull, Quebec - a national meeting of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people - revived an earlier campaign to observe June 21 as a national day to recognize the contributions of Aboriginal peoples to Canada. The summer solstice, the longest day of the year, falls on June 21 For generations, this was a sacred day for many Aboriginal people on which they celebrated their culture and heritage. On June 13, 1996, Governor General Romeo Leblanc declared June 21 National Aboriginal Day. In Winnipeg in 1994, representatives of the Indigenous people gathered and made a covenant to build a truly Anglican Indigenous Church in Canada, claiming their place and responsibility "as equal partners in a new shared journey of healing, moving towards wholeness and justice." In July of 2001, the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada commended for study and implementation the working document

Indigenous Peoples CERD General recom. 23 General Comments Convention Abbreviation: CERD General Recommendation XXIII Indigenous Peoples Fifty-first session, 1997 1. In the practice of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, in particular in the examination of reports of States parties under article 9 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the situation of indigenous peoples has always been a matter of close attention and concern. In this respect, the Committee has consistently affirmed that discrimination against indigenous peoples falls under the scope of the Convention and that all appropriate means must be taken to combat and eliminate such discrimination. 2. The Committee, noting that the General Assembly proclaimed the International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples commencing on 10 December 1994, reaffirms that the provisions of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination apply to indigenous peoples. 3. The Committee is conscious of the fact that in many regions of the world indigenous peoples have been, and are still being, discriminated against and deprived of their human rights and fundamental freedoms and in particular that they have lost their land and resources to colonists, commercial companies and State enterprises. Consequently, the preservation of their culture and their historical identity has been and still is jeopardized.

Message by the Director-General of UNESCO on the occasion of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People 9 August 2002 The momentous first session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, which was held in New York in May 2002, and to which UNESCO contributed, was a historic step in the struggle to achieve recognition for the identity, diversity and wealth of indigenous peoples. The Forum’s work is of particular interest to UNESCO since its structure is conducive to a stronger partnership between the indigenous peoples and governments, and because its mandate, which goes beyond protecting human rights, creates a new forum where all the agencies of the United Nations family can address holistically fundamental questions concerning the future of indigenous peoples. UNESCO wished most especially on that occasion to underscore the importance of the links between “cultural diversity and development” by organizing a workshop for the exchange of ideas and experience on the subject.

37. General Information About The Tribes Of Siberia Who are they? The indigenous peoples of Siberia are collectively known as the 'northernindigenous peoples'. They live in an area that covers 58% of Russia. http://www.survival-international.org/tc siberia.htm

Country: Siberia, Russia Population: more than 200,000 in 30 tribes Who are they? The indigenous peoples of Siberia are collectively known as the 'northern indigenous peoples'. They live in an area that covers 58% of Russia. The 30 different tribal peoples range in number from under 200 (the Oroks) to as many as 34,000 (the Nenet). They are the Aleuts, Chukchee, Chuvans, Dolgans, Entsy, Evenks, Evens, Inuit, Itel'mens, Kets, Khanty , Koryaks, Kumandints, Mansi, Nanais, Negidals, Nenets, Nganasans, Nivkhi, Orochi, Oroks, Saami, Sel'kups, Shors, Teleuts, Tofalars, Tuvian-Todzhynts, Udege , Ul'chi and the Yukagirs. Some larger indigenous peoples, the Sakha (formerly called Yakuts) and Komi, have their own republics within the Russian state. How do they live? Some of these peoples are nomadic reindeer herders, living in the tundra (arctic plain); others, who live in the forest tundra or taiga (coniferous forest), rely on a mixture of reindeer herding and hunting and gathering, and often live in settlements. Today 10% of Siberia's tribal peoples live a nomadic or semi nomadic life, compared to 70% of them just 30 years ago. The languages the different tribes speak are from a range of linguistic families: some have no similarities to any other language, and none bear any relation to Russian.

40. Political Declaration Of Ecuador's Indigenous Peoples ethnocentrism fomented by the dominant sectors that impede the development of theindigenous peoples and nationalities and society in general, must disappear http://conaie.nativeweb.org/conaie4.html

Political Declaration of Ecuador's Indigenous Peoples The Fourth Congress of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) was held from December 15- 18, 1993. The following is the political declaration of the Congress. POLITICAL DECLARATION We, the indigenous nationalities and peoples, have built a solidly structured national political organization with a clear ideology based on our own historical and cultural activities, and we propose to construct the New Multinational Nation. Despite the marginalization, discrimination, oppression and exclusion to which we have been subjected by the dominant sectors that control political, economic and military power, we, the indigenous peoples and nationalities, have succeeded in recuperating the political space usurped in 1492 in order to question and expose the social injustice and economic exploitation, the inefficient and decrepit legal-political and administrative system, as well as the anti-democratic character of state power and its institutions. The political objectives of the indigenous peoples and nationalities aim to guarantee the fulfillment of our specific rights and propose the harmonic and balanced development of all of society in a context of peace and full democracy, for which we call upon all political and social sectors that coexist in the present territory of Ecuador to participate actively and creatively in the solution of the grave problems that have historically oppressed us.
