Hope through action for change: Youth Summit August 27, 2001, 16:45 by Annicia Reddiar In line with developing the positions of young people which will be finalised for submission to the World Conference Against Racism to begin later this week, representatives at the Youth Summit today addressed issues of contemporary manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. The youth organisations' representatives highlighted the need for education to eliminate indifference, as well as the dangers of persistent forms of subtle racism. Despite descriptions of harsh realities facing Dalits (untouchables) due to the caste system and the magnitude of the marginalisation of indigenous people, the representatives also maintained that a youth vision has always been capable of transformation as seen through youth and student organisations in Apartheid South Africa. Sithembile Kholwa, a Grade 11 pupil at Reasoma High School in Soweto, spoke of the difference between extreme cases of racism which are contemptible, but able to be addressed through the judicial system, and those forms of subtle racism which insinuates itself into daily life.

Strength of language concerns minority groups September 06, 2001, 16:45 Minority rights groups have expressed grave concern at the strength of the language used in the draft declaration and programme of action of the World Conference Against Racism in Durban. Mark Lattimer, director of the international Minority Rights Group, said certain paragraphs of the two documents of the conference, on which officials were currently working, would undermine the rights of minorities if accepted. He said paragraph 27 of the draft declaration of the conference which declared that the use of the term indigenous peoples "cannot be construed as having any implications to rights" would undermine the rights of minorities if it was accepted. "In one stroke, that removes the legal force of all action in the document with regards to indigenous peoples," he said. Paragraph 51 of the declaration document required states to respect their existing domestic laws on land rights "wherever possible" when it applied to indigenous people while the same paragraph in the programme of action declared that governments only need to prevent racial discrimination "where applicable" when it

Musokotwane Environment Resource Centre for Southern Africa I M E R C S A Factsheet 9: Indigenous Knowledge Systems Factsheet No#9: Indigenous Knowledge Systems The traditional history of southern African societies is manifested in the hills, mountains, valleys, burial grounds and in specific sacred and historical sites. Quite often outsiders do not recognise the importance of such sites and superimpose different values on the local people. It is believed that people's contact with nature has never been direct, it has always been mediated through knowledge structures. Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) refers to a body of knowledge and beliefs built by a group of people, and handed down generations through oral tradition, about the relationship between living beings and their environment. It includes a system of organisation, a set of empirical observations about the local environment, and a system of self-management that governs resource use. Most IKS are oral-based and often revealed through stories and legends. It is therefore, difficult to transmit ideas and concepts to those who do not share the language, tradition and cultural experience. Hence when a language is threatened or diminished in importance, there is a direct impact on the ability to express knowledge acquired through generations of experience.

With that background and, a long career at UNESCO, the major Specialised Agency of the United Nations system, entrusted with a mandate for Culture, I can attest to the value of being grounded into, and taking pride, in one's indigenous culture. Therefore, I greatly appreciate, with thanks, the opportunity given to me by the organizers of this meeting to address this important gathering, in this academic environment, of this great city of New York, endowed with a unique and beautiful cultural diversity.

68. Ten Myths About Africa difference among themselves than those among peoples of any In addition to indigenousAfricans (ie those whose Persians and Arabs among the swahili of East http://jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu/~plarson/myths.html

Ten Myths About Africa, Africans, and African History In the American and European world, and perhaps in the world at large (outside of Africa), Africa is probably the most devalued and misunderstood of all continents. The reasons for this are embedded in modern world history. Beginning in the 15 th century Africa became a source of slaves for the Western world. African slaves had crossed the Sahara into what we now know as the Middle East for centuries before that. In order to dishonor, subordinate, and demean Africans, Europeans and others generated fundamental myths about Africa, Africans and African history. Many of these remain key components of modern racism. Although the era of slavery is itself gone, many of those fundamental myths remain strong in our society today. This is a list and discussion of ten myths that still abound in our Union of States. Myth #1: Africa has no ancient cultures, histories or civilizations and has therefore made no meaningful contributions to world history. Subsidiary to this, the values which we hold dear today like political freedom and democracy have no history in Africa.

Would The Status Of Being Indigenous Giv So, among the peoples of the world, Polynesians have may trace their geneologies,learn swahili, and celebrate Polynesians may be indigenous in various Pacific http://www.angelfire.com/hi2/hawaiiansovereignty/indigenous.html

Are kanaka maoli indigenous to Hawai'i? Would the status of being indigenous give them special rights? Are kanaka maoli indigenous to Hawai'i? Do they have a special relationship to the land of Hawai'i that is different from any actual or possible relationship which non-kanaka maoli might have with the land? Anthropological research suggests that the Polynesian islands were settled by people originating from Asia, spreading through the south Pacific, and arriving in Hawai'i very late in the process. Clearly Marquesas and Tahiti were settled long before Hawai'i. But China, Africa, and even the Americas had indigenous peoples living in those places for many thousands of years before anyone ventured into any of the Polynesian islands. So, among the peoples of the world, Polynesians have one of the shortest tenures in their so-called indigenous area. And within the Polynesian triangle, Hawai'i is one of the most recently settled island groups. Kanaka maoli have ancestors whose bones have been in the land of Hawai'i for hundreds of years. But millions of Americans have ancestors whose bones have been in the land of England for many centuries, and that does not give those Americans political rights in England. Indeed, some kanaka maoli have more English blood than they have kanaka maoli blood, and more ancestral English bones in the land of England for more centuries than they have ancestral kanaka maoili bones in the land of Hawai'i. Where the bones are does not determine either indigenous status or political rights.

Tanzania: History MAINLAND: According to the archaeologists, Louis and Mary Leakey, Tanzania may be the site of origin for the world's oldest human beings. The first ancestors of man to walk erect inhabited this region nearly three million years ago[1] obtaining food by hunting and gathering. Early rock paintings have also been found in central Tanzania that lend support to the Leakey's theories. THE COAST: Although Tanzania's interior has a number of important prehistoric sites, including the Olduvai Gorge, evidence of the history of Tanganyika before the 19th century is primarily found in the coastal area, where contact with outsiders was more frequent. Trade between Arabia and the East African coast dates to the first century AD; there is also evidence of early connections with India. According to ninth century Arabic sources, the indigenous peoples of the coast were Cushitic language speakers, though some evidence of Bantu language speakers has also been found. The earliest outsiders, according to these sources, arrived at the coast in the ninth and tenth centuries A.D.; by the twelfth century, a number of trading posts and settlements were functioning on the coast and the offshore islands. At the end of the twelfth century, Kilwa had become an important town for commerce. Its development coincided with the arrival of the Shiraz people from the coast of southern Somalia coast, who established themselves as dynastic rulers both at Kilwa and on Mafia Island [2]. In the middle of the thirteenth century, a power struggle erupted between the Shiraz dynasty and the Shanga people from the Island of Shanje Ya Kati to the south of Kilwa. In the end, the Shiraz prevailed. By the end of the thirteenth century, Kilwa had gained control of the Sofala gold trade

CONTACT US Africa: Environment a matter of survival - World Bank These goals and priorities were set against "a backdrop of powerful trends in Africa, such as rapid and uncontrolled urbanisation, decentralisation and democratisation, the growing role of the private sector and regional integration, and globalisation," according to Binswanger. Those trends presented challenges and opportunities, as their impact on populations and their environment depended on how they were managed - technically, socially and politically, he said. In this context, it was important to strengthen the capacity of states and regions to make the environment and social equity fundamental features of economic development, he added.

The Tamu Safaris Experience Katherine Muir wanted to go on a wildlife safari to Africa and was about to sign up with a well-known tour company when she decided to call Tamu Safaris on a word-of-mouth recommendation. With that single phone call, she decided to switch over to Tamu Safaris. Two months later, she was in Kenya, a single mother with three children, counting elephants at the edge of the alkaline plains in Amboseli National Park. There were 113 animals in total, one of the largest remaining elephant herds in East Africa. Before Amboseli, Mrs. Muir spent several nights in Masai Mara's little known Sekenani Valley, a place teeming with wildlife. Following Amboseli, she spent four days relaxing amid palm trees and the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean on Lamu Island, just a stone's throw off the coast of Kenya. On Lamu, the Muir family stayed in a private 800-year-old Swahili house recently declared one of Kenya's national historical monuments. From its whitewashed rooftop veranda, Mrs. Muir and her children took in the quiet sounds of Lamu town, Kenya's oldest living settlement. For a busy New Yorker from Manhattan, the absence of cars and crowds on Lamu Island provided a perfect holiday experience.

Post Civil War History Persian and Arab traders established business contacts with east Africans over 1,000 years ago. These relations, coupled with refugees who fled the turmoil in Arabia after the death of Muhammad in the 7 th century, resulted in a significant number of Arab immigrants residing on the coast of east Africa. The mixing of the coastal Bantu-speaking African peoples with these Arab immigrants led to the emergence of the Swahili people and language. The Swahili people lived and worked for the next seven centuries with the indigenous African population. During this time, the Swahili people expanded their trade and communication further inland and to the south with the other African groups, including ancestral tribes of the Somali Bantu. Colonial Period By the time the Portuguese arrived in the 15 th century, there existed a modern economy and advanced society on the east coast of Africa that some claim rivaled those in Europe. Portuguese colonial rule, however, disrupted the traditional local economic networks on the east African coast, resulting in a general breakdown of the once prosperous Swahili economy.
