ADOPTION OF THE DRAFT UNITED NATIONS DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES

Indigenous Peoples would like the Declaration, to be adopted without any changes as a standard setting instrument to be respected by all peoples and all nations.

This program is a memorial to the vision of Ingrid Washinawatok, a prominent Native American who was murdered in Colombia in 1999. Her vision and work in the international arena on Indigenous concerns sets the stage for understanding the creation of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

Journey to the Summit
Indigenous Peoples and the Third Summit of the Americas




The Third Summit of the Americas, in Quebec City, also in 2001, provided an opportunity for Matthew Coon Come, National Director, Assembly of First Nations of Canada, to bring the documentation of the Indigenous Peoples Summit of the Americas to the attention of member states of the OAS.

Official Summit programs and topics are explored in depth in interviews with special guests from two concurrent locations, the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue, Simon Fraser University, in Vancouver, Canada hosted by Haida lawyer Woodrow Morrison and the International Media Centre in Quebec City, during the Summit, co-hosted by Kenneth Deer, Mohawk, and publisher of the Eastern Door newspaper and Oscar Gonzales, Director, Mexican Academy of Human Rights.

From Kari-Oca to Kimberley

We reaffirm the vital role of the Indigenous
Peoples in sustainable development

Reafirmamos que los Pueblos Indígenas
tienen un papel vital en el desarrollo sostenible

Over the past ten years, Indigenous representatives from around the world have lobbied for their rights at United Nations mega-conferences such as the UN Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) in Brazil in 1992 and the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002. This programming focuses on the Declarations created in the pre-conferences of Indigenous Peoples in Kari-Oca, Brazil (1992) and Kimberley, South Africa (2002) and the initiatives of the Indigenous caucus in the context of the development of concrete global policies. We will be providing links to Indigenous Peoples Declarations and agendas at the most recent conferences and Summits, leading to the COP15 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Copenhagen 2009.

Dialogue in Wendat, English, Aymara and Spanish

A global exchange: read or listen to the voices of Indigenous leaders, lawyers, Elders, and other role models, as well as their non-Indigenous counterparts, through audio and video clips recorded over the past ten years at conferences and international gatherings on several continents.

This pilot program features dialogue excerpts from a larger documentary program currently in post-production. These testimonies from Konrad Sioui, an Indigenous leader from Canada and Bolivian Elder, Antonio Espinoza Huayllas, were recorded during a spontaneous encounter at the UN World Conference on Environment and Development in Rio, Brazil, 1992.
