Extractions: Special Report for Rio+5 Process The World Council of Indigenous Peoples - Conrado Jorge Valiente The following report on Indigenous Peoples and Global Governance has been put together with great effort. A literature search was done, as were consultations with Indigenous experts in different parts of the world. A primary aim was to highlight the process open to Indigenous Peoples to participate in different activities of the international arena and, especially, to call attention to those aspects that continue to be a priority for our Peoples. Towards this end, the intent is also to open discussion on ethical issues which are important to consider relating to the lands and territories of Indigenous Peoples. These include issues surrounding the exploration for and extraction of natural resources and, in particular, investment and development activities known as mega-projects. We consider this work part of the discussions which have been on-going among different sectors of civil society, Indigenous Peoples and Governments. The intent is that this work will help to increase comprehension and perception regarding the hopes and contributions of Indigenous Peoples and the global process to restore the health of the land.

Summer Seminars And Institutes Sample Projects and particularly african women, in apartheid South africa. university, in responseto NEH's we the People research holdings on the indigenous peoples of the http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/seminarsprojects.html
Extractions: Summer Seminars and Institutes In response to NEH's We the People initiative, an undergraduate college offers a four-week institute for twenty-five school teachers on the constitutional tradition in the American states. The project takes the viewpoint that state constitutions are changing reflections of a state's social and economic transformations and its political history. The institute's program addresses the concept of the "complete constitution," involving state, federal, and tribal levels; traditions of constitutional design; constitutional successes and failures; and the impact of state constitutions on public and private life. During the institute the participants read a variety of historical sources, including colonial charters, state constitutions from the 18th through the 20th centuries, national constitutional documents, influential commentaries like The Federalist , and important court cases, as well as works of current scholarship. In addition to the project director, a leading authority on American constitutionalism, the institute includes a visiting faculty of political scientists, historians, and legal scholars. The program features lecture and discussion sessions, field trips, and work by the participants on teaching projects relating to the own state constitutions; a master teacher assists the participants with their projects. The project uses a website for dissemination of teaching materials and post-institute communication. A scholar of medieval and Renaissance Italy conducts a six-week seminar for fifteen school teachers on St. Francis of Assisi, using the writings of Saint Francis himself as well as several early biographies including that by Saint Bonaventure. In addition to studying Franciscan legend and tradition as it was shaped by writers and artists of the thirteenth century, the participants study modern scholarship that seeks to define the influence of Saint Francis on European religious life and thought. The seminar is held in Rome, Siena, and Assisi, giving participants access to numerous churches where the saint and his legend were represented in murals and paintings. Participants' individual projects explore the many dimensions of the saint's legacy, including his view of nature, his early contribution to poetry in the Italian vernacular, his intellectual influence on major writers including Dante, and his redefinition of spirituality in Christian tradition.

Rights Of Indigenous Peoples Of The World South America, the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, africa, and Europe Norhave we heard in statements of indigenous peoples to the UN http://www.afsc.org/news/1998/stindrte.htm
Extractions: Regarding the Rights of Indigenous Peoples of the World Decade of Indigenous Peoples January 1995 marked the beginning of the United Nations' (UN) Decade of Indigenous Peoples. This act exemplifies the increased attention being given to indigenous peoples, their rights, and their concerns within our global community. However, this attention has not come easily. Many of the more than 300 million indigenous peoples in the world face social and economic disadvantages in the countries in which they live. Some of the world's worst violations of human rights have been and continue to be committed against indigenous peoples. They have struggled to retain their languages, civic structures, lands, and spiritual life. And, despite the tenacity of those struggles, many indigenous cultures have failed to survive. As Boutros Boutros-Ghali, former Secretary General of the UN has noted, "For centuries indigenous people have lived on the margins of national and international life." It is heartening that the voices of indigenous peoples are beginning to be heard in international forums. The Decade of Indigenous Peoples has grown out of years of efforts of these peoples to have their rights and aspirations recognized as a legitimate concern of all who value human rights. The cornerstone of the Decade will be the UN's adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Extractions: For many years, both Europeans and Africans taking Eboga have realised that the Bwiti religion, whether Mitsogho or Fang, deals with the healing of the spirit. And, as such, constantly re-adapts it's powers to the mythologies and archetypes of whatever culture uses it. And that in Europe we have lost this type of knowledge, to our great detriment, sometime during the years of the Inquisition, or perhaps at the hands of the Carthans. It's in this spirit that in 1995 we began to look at, with the help of the Cameroon Bwiti, the possibility of adapting the essence of the Eboga experience, that it might be brought into more widespread usage amongst the peoples of the West. In doing this, we drew heavily on the experience and knowledge of the artists and intellectuals of the Cameroon, to ensure our work would be free of ethnocentric limitations.
