Her; Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN) July 4, 2002, Thursday As a boy, Daniel Cheng Yang would ask his father to tell him stories about life in Laos. The 8-year-old would sit across from his father and listen to what it was like to live in the jungle, running and hiding from the Laotian government after the Vietnam War. Like many Hmong, Daniel's father had fought for U.S. forces against Communists in Laos during the war. William Yang eventually made his way to a refugee camp in Thailand. "In the camp, you have no hope, you have no future," his father told him. The stories stayed with Daniel, of St. Paul, and they shaped him into an 18-year-old who's so committed to shedding light on the plight of refugees and other struggling people that he traveled to Africa several times by himself, even taking some time off school, to document their conditions. Such is the focus of his book, "Kakuma Turkana Dueling Struggles: Africa's Forgotten Peoples," which will be published in August. The book is a compilation of 75 black-and-white photos of the Turkana people of remote northwestern Kenya and of refugees who live nearby in the Kakuma Refugee Camp. In each photo, Daniel shows how the Turkanas' way of life is surviving despite the influx of more than 81,000 refugees from war-torn Sudan and Uganda. The camp, which was opened in 1992, is bringing in people whose cultures clash with the Turkana and who are competing for scarce resources, such as water and land.

East Africa enjoys an extraordinary degree of social and cultural diversity, with representatives of all four of the major cultures families of the continent occurring in the region. How did this cultural variety arise, how does it relate to environmental diversity we find in East Africa? Amidst diversity how has the region evolved a high degree of social commonality and cohesion? This course will provide academic context for pursuing field study in East Africa. Including team teaching it will offer background to the history, politics, languages, and cultures of the region, and will focus on study of those societies visited during the program. These will include representatives of the major cultures of the region: Bantu, Nilotic and Cushitic-speakers. The course will includes an introductory overview of the peopling of East Africa, the emergence of ethic groups and evolution of the human use of natural resources, drawing on recent work in genetics archaeology, historical linguistic, and pre-colonial history. We will examine reports written by early explorers, who describe peoples encountered and their own responses to them, and will ask whether these documents reflect accurate accounts of East African societies, and in what ways might they be biased? We will investigate the structure and function of some major social institutions that characterize East Africa s culture groups, among them: local forms of agrarian economy, indigenous environmental knowledge; environmental adaptations, territory and political organization; kinship, age-organization, family, and domestic life; and cultural traditions ; oral literature, ritual, religion and music.

Extractions: "Indigenous people" is a concept we now often encounter in discussions on human rights, democracy, political development and civil society. This has followed from the continuing and deepening crisis if human suffering on a larger scale I the political, social, economic and cultural field as well as human rights abuses. At the same time, there have been political responses to colonial and post colonial pressures and political alienation of indigenous peoples. In many parts of Africa people are looking for new perceptions and new solutions to old problems and difficulties and taking part in the global discussion on indigenous rights has become one of the strategies in the struggle for a just development. This brief overview on indigenous peoples of Kenya is supposed to serve as a guideline in defining, planning and prioritizing assistance to the poor, marginalised indigenous peoples of Kenya. It was requested as a further elaboration of MS's development assistance to Kenya. It begins by recalling definitions used to identify indigenous peoples in the world and in Africa, then it assesses the "indigenousness" of those groups of people who have been identified as indigenous in Kenya and their struggle for recognition and demands for fairness and justice. There is also a brief discussion on the relevance of MS's policy on indigenous peoples and a few points on strategies to be followed by potential donors in order to alleviate the suffering of indigenous peoples in the region.

Extractions: AFRICA LUCHAS LOCALES Y NOTICIAS - Ghana: los "promisorios" planes de reforestación terminan en desempleo Las plantaciones de árboles se caracterizan por la provisión de incentivos perversos por parte de los gobiernos. Ghana, por ejemplo, ha promovido la creación de un fondo para el establecimiento de plantaciones de árboles por parte de individuos y empresas, haciendo llamamientos a los pequeños propietarios de tierras para que las mismas sean destinadas a ese objetivo. La FAO ha apoyado estos incentivos a las plantaciones. El programa de forestación y reforestación que abarca una variedad reducida de especies y que está siendo llevado a cabo por el Departamento de Manejo de Bosques de Ghana y algunos aserraderos ha sido promovido como un importante "proyecto de desarrollo" que proporcionará empleo a una población empobrecida.

Extractions: 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. NAIROBI,9/7/2001 (IRIN) - Forest dwellers from seven African countries this week appealed for compensation for livelihoods compromised by government activities, and for vindication of their human rights, AFP news agency reported. Meeting in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, from 3-6 September, representatives of the Twa of Rwanda, the DRC and Uganda; the Ogieks of Kenya, the Maasai of Tanzania; the Bushmen of South Africa; and the Baka Bagyeli of Cameroon, paid particular attention to the plight of indigenous peoples living in, or displaced from, protected areas in their countries.

Extractions: Globalization Poses Threat to World's Cultural, Linguistic And Biological Diversity The United Nations Environment Program has released this warning. Nature's secrets, locked away in the songs, stories, art and handicrafts of indigenous people, may be lost forever as a result of growing globalization, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is warning. Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of UNEP, said yesterday: "The freeing up of markets around the world may well be the key to economic growth in rich and poor countries alike. But this must not happen at the expense of the thousands of indigenous cultures and their traditions." "Indigenous peoples not only have a right to preserve their way of life. But they also hold vital knowledge on the animals and plants with which they live. Enshrined in their cultures and customs are also secrets of how to manage habitats and the land in environmentally friendly, sustainable, ways", he said. Much of this knowledge is passed down from generation to generation orally, in art works or in the designs of handicrafts such as baskets, rather than being written down. So losing a language and its cultural context is like burning a unique reference book of the natural world. "If these cultures disappear they and their intimate relationship with nature will be lost forever. We must do all we can to protect these people. If they disappear the world will be a poorer place", Mr Toepfer said during the 21st session of UNEP's Governing Council which is taking place in Nairobi, Kenya, this week.
