3. Defining 'Indigenous People' Defining 'indigenous peoples' "There is no hard and fast distinction between indigenous peoples and other kinds of localized ethnic groups. Who then are the peoples generally considered as 'indigenous'?" "In africa it is particularly difficult to distinguish between indigenous peoples and other ethnic minorities . countries, such as the san and related peoples (Bushmen) of the Kalahari http://www.nativeweb.org/info/indigenousdefined.html

Defining 'Indigenous Peoples' "There is no hard and fast distinction between indigenous peoples and other kinds of localized ethnic groups. Who then are the peoples generally considered as 'indigenous'?" David Maybury-Lewis, Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State NativeWeb strives to provide quality content by and about indigenous peoples around the world. This means that we examine suggested site links to determine whether and how they relate to indigenous peoples. The difference between 'indigenous peoples' and 'ethnic groups' or 'minority groups' is sometimes difficult to determine. NativeWeb generally tries to err on the side of inclusion in deciding whether a suggested site is suitable for the database. Nevertheless, NativeWeb must respect some limits to maintain integrity and coherence. We have found that there is a spectrum ranging from sites directly related to peoples who have the distinction of living in their own lands since 'time immemorial' [indigenous peoples] to sites that relate to groups whose only distinction is that they are marginalized in the countries where they live [minority groups]. The former we generally include; the latter we generally reject. In the middle of this spectrum are a variety of sites that require careful analysis to decide whether they are proper to include in NativeWeb. The fact that a site relates to people who are ethnically or culturally different from the 'mainstream' of the country where they live does not necessarily mean the site relates to 'indigenous peoples.'

This paper is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to information on indigenous people. It is meant to be a guide to researching international law and indigenous peoples rights.

We continue to pursue the committments made at Earth Summit as reflected in this political declaration and the accompanying plan of action. The commitments which were made to Indigenous Peoples in Agenda 21, including our full and effective participation, have not been implemented due to the lack of political will. As peoples, we reaffirm our rights to self-determination and to own, control and manage our ancestral lands and territories, waters and other resources. Our lands and territories are at the core of our existence - we are the land and the land is us; we have a distinct spiritual and material relationship with our lands and territories and they are inextricably linked to our survival and to the preservation and further development of our knowledge systems and cultures, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem management.

The Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa The regional non-governmental organization known as the Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa (WIMSA) was founded in January, 1996 at the request of the San of Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. WIMSA serves as a lobbying and advocacy organization which seeks to promote the rights of San. WIMSA has a head office in Windhoek, Namibia and a branch office in D’Kar, Botswana. It has a full-time coordinator, currently Axel Thoma. Joram /Useb is the assistant to the coordinator. WIMSA has a board of trustees consisting of 9 members from Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. Each represents a community-based organization or association, such as the Khwe Communal Property Association, the Nyae Nyae Conservancy, Maiteko Development Trust, and the Southern Kalahari San Association. Position on the board include the chairperson, currently Kxao Moses =Oma, a secretary, Chief Kipi George, and a treasurer, Petrus Valbooi. At the request of the San representatives participating in the D’Kar Conference in June, 1995, a project proposal for the establishment of the Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa was drawn up by Braam LeRoux and Axel Thoma.

International Co-ordination During the period under review WIMSA received numerous invitations to international conferences and workshops. Some had to be declined as only a few San to date have acquired the organisational, administrative, linguistic and representational skills needed for participation in such international events. Almost all of these few representatives work full time for San organisations and are sorely missed in the day-to-day running of the office and field work while they are attending international gatherings. Careful consideration and regional co-ordination therefore determined whether or not participation in each international gathering was possible. FPW Advisors Meeting 19th UNWGIP Session While in Geneva the San discussed issues of mutual concern with other indigenous peoples, met representatives of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and attended the AGM of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-ordinating Committee (IPACC), in which WIMSA/Botswana Co-ordinator Mathambo Ngakaeaja was elected as IPACC Chairperson for the Southern African Region.

Southern Africa: Program Description SYNOPSIS For these reasons, the overall (and continuing) goal of our work in southern Africa has been to assist the San (also known as the Khwe, Basarwa and Bushmen) groups in southern Africa to secure land tenure in their traditional territories. We have attempted to be both realistic as well as creative in working with our local partners to develop a comprehensive strategy to secure San land tenure. Southern Africa Legal Assistance Project Summary FPW's legal project in southern Africa is our longest standing international commitment and represents, to some extent, the genesis of FPW. We have been involved in the struggle to secure land tenure for the San since 1995 when Rebecca was first approached by John Hardbattle, then coordinator of the First Peoples of the Kalahari. The original request was for assistance in developing alternative income-generating and sustainable economic development projects for the Naro San community in western Botswana. However, while they were in the process of developing an overall economic development strategy, the government of Botswana began to pursue a policy of removing the residents of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve to settlements located outside the Game Reserve. This precipitated an official request for land rights assistance from the First Peoples of the Kalahari (FPK) to FNDI in February, 1996. Since that time, we have continued to work with local and regional organizations in Southern Africa in order to secure San control of their traditional territories. We have moved from a relatively limited relationship with the First Peoples of the Kalahari to a strong relationship with many San organizations in the region. In particular, we have an excellent relationship with the Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa (WIMSA) with whom we are jointly managing the land rights training program in Botswana and Namibia.
