Responses in Support of First Nations Activities at Burnt Church (E-mail responses taken and adapted from the CBC site Indepth: Fishing Fury /Your Space I am a Indian Brook band member and I am writing to comment on the fishing dispute that has been going on the past few months. I have gone to Digby to the wharf that the band members from Indian Brook have been fishing off for the past two years and I sat back and watched the DFO boats out in the water watching every move of the fishermen. I feel that my people should be able to fish when they want and where they want. The government signed over treaties and they didn't have a problem with it then, but now we are fighting for the right that is ours and we shouldn't have to fight for it. The natives were the first ones here in Canada and we should be telling the non-native fishermen where to fish and when to fish not them telling us when and where to fish. I feel that is not right. Why can't everyone get along? Racism has been going on for the past few hundred years and it probably will go for the next hundread years. Jolene Marr Indian Brook If the governments of Canada would only respect the treaties and deals that had been made, there wouldn't ALWAYS have to be a conflict to fight over what is legally ours.

There are few who care enough to do the research involved in varifying a sites "validity". I write this in hopes that people will see you are making this attempt but are only human and too, will then have to rely upon thier help in maintaining the integrity of your site. I hope all who enter here will remember that it is as easy to find and offer solution as it is to complain. You have a large and life-long task in front of you with this responsibility you have chosen for yourself. I commend you as so many are always waiting to find that which they are responsible for while others seek that which become as their children. You must have broad shoulders for this project.

Saskatchewan: University of Saskatchewan Native Law Centre. ANNOTATIONS Alfredsson, Gudmundur. "International Law, International Organizations and Indigenous Peoples." (1982), 36 Journal of International Affairs The author analyzes the remedies and avenues for redress available in international law and organizations for human rights violations against indigenous peoples. He also examines specific provisions in the Charter of the United Nations relating to the domestic jurisdiction rule and argues that most states could not successfully invoke this rule because, as parties to international agreements, they have consented to the competence of others to discuss state performance in areas covered by the agreements. The author also examines the principle of the right to self-determination and puts forth five possible meanings and potential beneficiaries. He concludes that most indigenous peoples are excluded from the exercise of external self-determination partly because of the territorial and sovereignty arguments advanced by metropolitan states. He asserts, however, that this does not mean that internal self-determination does not apply. American Indian Law Centre. "Special Issue." (1974), 7

UNCTAD; WIPO EDITORIAL The establishment of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues on 29 July 2000 represents a great step forward for the world’s indigenous peoples: they have succeeded, within the framework of the United Nations, in placing the promotion of and respect for their rights at a level seldom reached by organizations not directly reporting to States. It is also a legitimate advance towards the recognition of their holistic approach of their rights as expressed by the right to self-determination. This right includes the various issues specifically dealt with by the organizations of the UN system, which in most cases report directly to the ECOSOC. Two reports on the work undertaken by the indigenous delegates in New York have been distributed by e-mail. As soon as we received the first one, we asked the author to

The lectures borrowed their title from a classic essay by Walt Whitman, in which he suggested that the dignity and potential of the individual is well worth the sense of chaos at times associated with democracy. Six of the original fifteen lectures in this series will be presented again today for the Tercentennial weekend.* The second part of this symposium, "Global Perspectives," draws on the September anniversary program organized by the Yale Center for International and Area Studies. Ernesto Zedillo, '81 Ph.D., former President of Mexico, will initiate the discussions with a keynote lecture on "Envisioning the World in the Next Century: Challenges to a Global University." Participants have the opportunity to join some of our most prominent internationalist faculty in discussing the key challenges we face entering the next century.

NEW ENGLAND INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW ANNUAL WAR DRUMS WAITING: WHY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY SHOULD CONCERN ITSELF WITH THE RIGHTS OF BORDER TRIBES Jonty Lea Kasku-Jackson Indigenous Nations have the right of self-determination, in accordance with international law, and by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development without external interference I. Introduction Since the 1980s indigenous peoples have asserted their rights more frequently and more vigorously, and have gained increasing domestic and international recognition. As a result they are becoming increasingly sophisticated, are developing networks and alliances in support and aid of each other, and are better able to assert their claims. The indigenous peoples of North America are quite politically sophisticated. The Aboriginals of Canada and the Indians of the United States are among the best organized and assertive indigenous peoples of the world. These peoples enjoy a unique status under the domestic laws of their surrounding states and claim the right of self-determination. Some of the tribes are bifurcated by the Canadian-United States border and exist in both countries. Each State is responsible not only for its treatment of the indigenous groups within its border, but must also concern itself to some degree with its neighbor's indigenous groups. Thus, claims to self-determination by those peoples have repercussions for North America as a whole, as well as for Canada and the United States individually. More importantly, the way that each State treats its indigenous peoples may also have international consequences.

The Mediterranean Journal of Human Rights United Nations Human Rights Apparatus for the Protection of Indigenous Peoples JOE L WASHINGTON 1. Definition and characteristics of indigenous peoples in light of U.N. documents and practice 1.1. Introduction By most accounts, the number of indigenous peoples in the world today number between 250 to 300 million, or upwards to 600 million if the distinct peoples of Africa are included. Taking these figures into consideration, indigenous peoples comprise between 5% - 10% of the world’s population and can be found on every continent. Common threats concerning the plight of indigenous peoples include: environmental degradation, deforestation, tourism, weapons testing, militarization, cultural breakdown, colonization, invasion, mining projects, and a host of others ills. Although for many years victimized, indigenous peoples are increasingly raising their voices to draw attention to their situation on a national and international level. A significant United Nations (U.N.) action towards examining the plight of indigenous peoples occurred in May 1982 with the formation of the U.N. Working Group on Indigenous Populations (WGIP). The WGIP was formed pursuant to Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) resolution 1982/34, of May 7, 1982 which authorized the group composed of five members from the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. The WGIP’s dual mandate is to: 1) review developments pertaining to the promotion and protection of the human rights of indigenous populations; and 2) develop standards concerning the rights of indigenous populations. The WGIP has met annually since its inception in 1982.
