ADOPTION OF THE DRAFT UNITED
NATIONS DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
This controversial Draft Declaration has
been under debate by States and the Indigenous People's caucus for
several years in the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations in

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. |

TIME IMMEMORIAL
The ancestors are alive and their vision lives through us.
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.

Indigenous Peoples and the Third Summit of the Americas

states of the OAS.

Peoples in sustainable development
Reafirmamos que los
Pueblos Indígenas

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.

DIALOGUES
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.
