BIBLIOGRAPHIES AND INDEXES A FEW WORDS ABOUT JOURNAL ARTICLES ... WORLD WIDE WEB RESOURCES GENERAL SOURCES One of the best places to start research is in the computerized Five-College Library Catalog (one segment lists books and journals in the Four Colleges, another lists UMass holdings). All books are listed by their AUTHORS, TITLES, and SUBJECTS, and you can also use the KEYWORD function to search. KEYWORD searching is not likely to yield a complete list of locally-owned books on any particular topic, but it's a good way to start; type in a common language characterization of your topic, say "South American Indians", select titles from the resulting list that interest you, note which official subject headings are assigned to those titles, then click on them to do a more thorough SUBJECT search. SUBJECT searching, as such, requires that you use the exact word or phrase libraries have chosen to describe your topic; for example, libraries list books generally about indigenous peoples of Latin America under "Indians of South America". Note that there are geographical and topical subdivisions to this main subject heading (i.e. "Indians of South America - Brazil" or "Indians of South America - Andes Region - Politics and Government"), that ethnic groups can be searched as subjects ("Incas"), and that country names are also usefully searchable ("Venezuela - History" for instance). Ask at the Reference Desk if you're not sure what words or phrases to use.

42. Science In The Rainforest: Native Peoples Of Tropical Rainforests Q IN general, HOW DO indigenous PEOPLE LIVE Similarly, the broad group, indigenouspeoples, includes many distinct culture groups, each with its own traditions http://www.pbs.org/tal/costa_rica/native.html

Answers to Questions on Native Peoples of Tropical Rainforests WHO ARE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE? IN GENERAL, HOW DO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE LIVE? FOOD EDUCATION ... GLOSSARY Q: WHO ARE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE? A: Tropical rainforests are bursting with life. Not only do millions of species of plants and animals live in rainforests, but many people also call the rainforest their home. In fact, Indigenous, or native, people have lived in rainforests for thousands of years. In North and South America they were mistakenly named Indians by Christopher Columbus, who thought that he had landed in Indonesia, then called the East Indies. Q: IN GENERAL, HOW DO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE LIVE? A: Although many Indigenous people live much like we do, some still live as their ancestors did many years before them. These groups organize their daily lives differently than our culture. Everything they need to survive, from food to medicines to clothing, comes from the forest. FOOD Besides hunting, gathering wild fruits and nuts and fishing, Indigenous people also plant small gardens for other sources of food, using a sustainable farming method called shifting cultivation. First they first clear a small area of land and burn it. Then they plant many types of plants, to be used for food and medicines. After a few years, the soil has become too poor to allow for more crops to grow and weeds start to take over. So they then move to a nearby uncleared area. This land is traditionally allowed to regrow for 10-50 years before it is farmed again.

The United Nations and Indigenous Peoples from 1969 to 1994 (note 1) Erica-Irene Daes, Professor, Dr., Chairperson/Rapporteur of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations, United Nations Today the United Nation and indigenous representatives look back on more than twenty years of joint efforts to promote the cause of indigenous peoples. This paper will give a brief overview of how this constructive co-operation evolved in the past and how it might develop in the future. The Martinez Cobo Study Before 1969 the problems of indigenous populations have not been on the agenda of the Commission on Human Rights or of the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities, although a number of studies undertaken by Special Rapporteurs of the Sub-Commission on various discrimination issues indirectly benefited indigenous peoples. (note 2) In 1969 the Sub-Commission had before it a report of the Special Rapporteur on the Study on Racial Discrimination in the Political, Economic, Social and Cultural Spheres. It included a chapter on measures taken in connection with the protection of indigenous peoples. (note 3) This started a process of discussion in the Sub-Commission and in the Commission on Human Rights. In 1970 the Sub-Commission recommended that a comprehensive study be made of the problem of discrimination against indigenous populations.

Eamiálbmotfierpmádat Indigenous Peoples' Research Network Sámegillii På norsk ] [In English] General background information As a step in the efforts to promote Sámi research and indigenous peoples’ research, the University of Tromsø the Sámi College and the Nordic Sámi Institute have joined forces to establish a research network. It will be possible to expand the network later to include other institutions. The Research Council of Norway is providing funding for the establishment and operation of the network. Initially, the collaboration will focus on Sámi research, but the idea is to expand the network to embrace research on, by and for the benefit of other indigenous peoples as well. The primary network framework will be research on the situation of the Sámi and/or other indigenous peoples, with particular emphasis on their efforts to safeguard their economic bases, their cultures and their integrity as a people. In time, it is hoped that it will be possible to develop this programme into a research programme for indigenous peoples. The network is a direct result of a seminar organised on 20 and 21 October 1997. The seminar report is available from the secretariat or the research manager upon request.

Office of the Director-General World Health Organization Organisation mondiale de la Santé UPDATED: Mon Feb 18 16:59:04 2002 Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland Director-General World Health Organization Geneva, 23 November 1999 International Consultation on the Health of Indigenous Peoples Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a great privilege and pleasure for me to be here today to welcome you to this International Consultation on the Health of Indigenous Peoples. WHO is firmly committed to the rights and the aspirations of indigenous peoples for long and healthy lives. So we take pride in hosting this consultation to move the agenda forward. Three years ago, when the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements observed the International Decade of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, world leaders decried the damage to the environment and land of indigenous peoples. Wally N'Dow, Secretary-General of that conference, reminded us that the harm is not only to the peoples who have for centuries and millenniums lived on those lands. The rest of the world suffers as well. When we marginalize indigenous peoples, we cut off a vast body of knowledge that is of great value to humanity. That is clear to those of us in the health field, who depend on the wisdom passed down through the generations, of plants and herbs and flowers that have the power to heal. But our debt to indigenous peoples is more than the knowledge they have endowed. As Mr N’Dow said, "They teach us how to live more correctly." Indigenous peoples teach us about the values that have permitted humankind to live on this planet for many thousands of years without desecrating it. They teach us about holistic approaches to health that seek to strengthen the social networks of individuals and communities, while connecting them to the environment in which they live. And they teach us about the importance of a spiritual dimension to the healing process.

Conclusions and recommendations Document prepared by Mr. Lars Anders Baer, Vice President, SAAMI Council, Jokkmokk, Sweden INITIATIVES FOR PROTECTION OF RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES Introduction My intervention will focus on the international policy process on intellectual property, and not so much on intellectual property rights per se. This is due to the fact that at this stage, I consider questions related to the policy process as crucial. I believe that in the absence of mechanisms for dialogue between indigenous peoples, governments, private business, WIPO and other UN agencies, we will not have much progress in the field of indigenous intellectual property rights. I often hear people saying that questions concerning intellectual property rights are technical in nature, and that therefore we should not politicize these questions. In my work as an indigenous activist for the last thirty years, and as a legal researcher, I have been met with this type of arguments in many cases of indigenous rights. I agree that to a certain extent they are technical legal matters, however, they are

Eesti keeles UNREPRESENTED NATIONS AND PEOPLES ORGANISATION (UNPO) "UNPO...Hope for a just and tolerant future" citation, Prize for Tolerance 1991 Summary Throughout the world, many nations and peoples struggle to regain their lost countries, maintain their cultural identity, and establish basic human rights. Some of these groups live under occupation or have been dispossessed of their countries, while others are ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples who exist as second-class citizens in the land of their ancestors. Most of these nations and peoples feel isolated in their struggle and have no international forum in which to be heard. Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation (UNPO) is an organisation of nations and peoples not adequately represented in the international community. It was set up by these nations and peoples themselves to promote their own aspirations through peaceful means. A non-aligned organisation dedicated to non-violent programs and solutions, UNPO offers an international forum as well as much needed services for those nations and peoples whose causes and needs are not adequately addressed in existing international bodies. UNPO believes that by providing professional assistance to its member nations and peoples to promote aspirations in legitimate forums and through nonviolent means, it can reduce the motivation for violence and improve chances of finding solutions. In addition, UNPO provides a community of support for those nations and peoples who have long felt alone in their struggle.

Indeed international human rights law and democratic institutions are currently being set aside and basic human rights compromised as national security laws are invoked. In addition to the growing preoccupation with national security and global terrorism, governments around the world continue to emphasize the liberalization of the world's economy and the search for greater profits, which have also had a negative impact on human rights. States are spending more time ensuring compliance with WTO rules than with human rights treaties. The primacy of international human rights law must govern the world's response to September 11, its approach to economic globalization, as well as to the pursuit for peace in the Middle East.

The spread of low cost equipment, cheaper connectivity, and new software tools has allowed ethnic groups, minority cultures, and institutions that support diverse populations and languages to use the Internet to link diaspora groups far from home, support language preservation efforts with online web sites, multilingual databases, and experiment with digital story-telling techniques that combine traditional methods with unusual uses of new media. The social organization needed to make use of this technology is a key concern for libraries that wish to play a supporting role in these innovative efforts.
