[|Planeta.com] - We are pleased to share with the world a recap of the **2016 Indigenous Peoples Week.**

This was our sixth annual celebration of social web storytelling about Indigenous peoples and tourism around the four corners of the world - **Indigenous Peoples Week** took place August 8-14. The objective is to help raise awareness of Indigenous tourism options around the world and improve digital literacy skills among Indigenous friends. Partners in this endeavor are [|Nutti Sámi Siida], [|TIME Unlimited], [|Madidi Jungle Ecolodge] and [|The Travel Word].

J ust because the week is over does not mean our conversation has concluded. (El hecho de que se termine la semana no significa que nuestra conversación ha concluido.)

Reminder: Keep an eye on the [|Facebook event page]

And think of what should be shared during the next Indigenous Peoples Week -- August 8-13, 2017.

Canada has recently taken direct action towards reconciliation with First Nations communities. As a part of the Truth and Reconciliation commission organizations across the country committed to involving First Nations communities directly in events, such as the Pan Am Games, as host communities -- offering First Nations direct participation in showcasing indigenous cultural traditions of their traditional territories. Six Nations was host to the 2015 Pan Am Games and as a result delegates and athletes from around the world were able to experience the culture and history of the Haudenosaunee/Iroquois people in an authentic way. Six Nations Tourism was a strong partner in organizing those authentic experiences. Six Nations was also host this year to the Two Row on the Grand experience bringing awareness to the treaty relationship between the Haudenosaunee and European settlers and the history of the Grand River Tract where the Six Nations now reside. This was educational and helped foster positive relationships between indigenous and non-indigenous people in the new atmosphere of truth and reconciliation between First Nations and Canadians. It is difficult to attract students to the program, which offers specialized business training, as tourism continues to be seen as a service industry with low paying jobs.

How This Works
Everyone's invited to Indigenous Peoples Week. Our circle of conversation includes Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples around the world.

Talking points include biodiversity conservation, crafts, cultural heritage, food and literacy (traditional reading and writing and digital literacy -- the emerging read write culture).

Become social web literate by registering and participating on a few social web channels or apps. Be creative and make something. Be generous and encourage someone else. Applaud the work of others who inspire and be generous. Strive toward empathy - consider someone else's point of view. All of this may sound like a lot, but if you take the deep dive this week, you're to be surprised by what you learn and what you contribute.

Indigenous Peoples Week takes place everywhere at once, so consider the Planeta Wiki page — http://planeta.wikispaces.com/indiweek2016 — the conference hub before, during and after the week. We'll be making updates, adding links, embedding videos.

Preparing for a non-traditional conference, aka an unconference, can be challenging. Afterall, what happens now depends on you and others. Participants are asked to actively use the social web a way to create and share stories relevant to Indigenous travel and tourism. If you cannot create, curate! Highlights are featured on this wiki page as well as Storify — https://storify.com/ronmader/ipw — and Slideshare — http://www.slideshare.net/planeta/indiweek2016

Other venues for conversations during the week are the Facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/1635740993418517 and Twitter (you don't have to be registered to see the hashtag)

#IndigenousDay
The week focuses attention on August 9, the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. [|#IndigenousDay]

One day does not seem sufficient. How about a week?

Origins
We launched Indigenous Peoples Week in 2011 as a direct outcome of the Indigenous Tourism and Biodiversity Website Award. ITBW Award Winner [|Nutti Sámi Siida] and [|Planeta.com] joined forces to hold a week-long discussion of Indigenous tourism to coincide with August 9 -- the United Nations’ [|International Day of the World's Indigenous People]. We've had additional support [|Time Unlimited Tours] and Madidi Jungle Ecolodge and Local Travel. We welcome other partners as this event evolves.

We have no direct links with the UN Day or the [|UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues]. That said, one of the outcomes of holding Indigenous Peoples Week is to monitor how Indigenous Peoples and tourism are or are not embedded in official meetings. Our hope is that our continuing dialogue can bring attention to what is happening at the UN, the IUCN and the CBD.

We would love to have more contact with the UN, the Permanent Forum and the [|Convention on Biological Diversity]. Indigenous Peoples Week owes a lot to the CBD for developing the IBTW Award.

Other factors in developing Indigenous Peoples Week were now 20+ year discussions with Deborah McLaren, a judge for the ITBW Award and author of the book [|Rethinking Tourism]. In the 1990s I had long discussions with Deborah about the pros and cons of tourism as it impacted Indigenous communities. Deborah and Ron Mader have both collaborated with the US magazine/website Transitions Abroad and as a result of this work, we've always tried to embed the knowledge and tips from indigenous leaders into travel features I've written and/or published on Planeta.com.

In these past 20 years I've also led many internet workshops for local travel providers, artisans and cooks, many of whom are Indigenous. Indigenous Peoples Week thus allows a virtual reunion of sorts, encouraging continued conversations using various social web channels.

What's new in 2016?
Testing new software / social web channels including periscope and zoom

Speaking Kindly and Sweetly
One of our favorite Māori Proverbs (Whakataukī) is Kāore te kumara e kōrero ana mo tōna ake reka (The kūmara does not speak of its own sweetness.)

The take-away lesson is the need to speak (and tweet!) kindly and sweetly about Indigenous ambassadors -- artisans, guides and hosts. Indigenous Peoples Week encourages participants to speak up and tweet kudos and praise for others.

Language
Indigenous Peoples Week is open to posts in multiple languages. We encourage the use of audio and video to document the culture in the local vernacular. Record a conversation with an Indigenous friend and share the link.

Tips: Try something new.

Tips: Try reading information in a different language. We encourage the use of [|Google Translate]. It's not perfect but it will help expand your frame of reference.

Recognition of tourism issues in the Indigenous Peoples’ debate has found a place in many international guidelines. Many of these guidelines and codes have developed in response to powerful resistance by Indigenous groups to impacts of tourism development on their lives, cultures and regions and to carry out tourism development, when acceptable, on their own terms. The ILO Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Populations, 1957 (No. 107), recognizes Indigenous peoples’ ownership of the lands they occupy and the stronger ILO Convention No. 169 that is a comprehensive instrument covering a range of issues pertaining to Indigenous and tribal peoples, including land rights, access to natural resources, health, education, vocational training, conditions of employment and contacts across borders. Specifically on tourism, the most universally known set of guidelines for tourism development is the UNWTO Global Code of Ethics for Tourism that received official recognition by the UN General Assembly on 21 December 2001. Clause 1 of Article 1 of the Code ‘‘The understanding and promotion of the ethical values common to humanity, with an attitude of tolerance and respect for the diversity of religious, philosophical and moral beliefs, are both the foundation and the consequence of responsible tourism; stakeholders in tourism development and tourists themselves should observe the social and cultural traditions and practices of all peoples, including those of minorities and Indigenous peoples and to recognize their worth.” It further states in Article 2 “...tourism activities should respect...the individual rights of the most vulnerable groups, notably children, the elderly, the handicapped, ethnic minorities and Indigenous peoples.” The Oaxaca Declaration of the International Forum on Indigenous Tourism, adopted in 2002, is another landmark declaration recording the impacts of tourism on Indigenous communities. It asserts “primary among these is the need to recognize that Indigenous peoples are not ‘stakeholders’ and that Tourism is beneficial for Indigenous communities only when it is based on and enhances our self-determination.” In recognition of these and wider concerns, in 2007, the United Nations created the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. In 2012, the World Indigenous Tourism Alliance (WINTA) and the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) agreed to develop plans and programs to give practical expression, through tourism, to Indigenous rights. Guiding principles will be taken from the relevant portions of UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. This agreement follows their common focus in fostering tourism developments consistent with the principles of the Larrakia Declaration on the Development of Indigenous Tourism that were promulgated on March 30, 2012 at the Pacific Asia Indigenous Tourism Conference 2012 in Darwin, Australia. The United Nations World Tourism Organization has also supported the Larrakia Declaration. The United Nations (UN) General Assembly has approved the adoption of 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development. The resolution recognizes “the importance of international tourism, and particularly of the designation of an international year of sustainable tourism for development, in fostering better understanding among peoples everywhere, in leading to a greater awareness of the rich heritage of various civilizations and in bringing about a better appreciation of the inherent values of different cultures, thereby contributing to the strengthening of peace in the world.” “The declaration by the UN of 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development is a unique opportunity to advance the contribution of the tourism sector to the three pillars of sustainability – economic, social and environmental, while raising awareness of the true dimensions of a sector which is often undervalued” said UNWTO Secretary-General, Taleb Rifai.” This decision follows the recognition by global leaders at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) that “well-designed and well-managed tourism” can contribute to the three dimensions of sustainable development, to job creation and to trade. The decision to adopt 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development comes at a particularly important moment as the international community embraces the new Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), approved by the UN General Assembly last September 2015. Tourism is included as targets under three of the SDGs - SDG 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all; SDG 12: Sustainable Consumption and Production and SDG 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.

 * UPDATE: A Framework for Indigenous Tourism: International Guidelines and Human Rights**
 * -Submitted by Deborah McLaren, Local Flavor Deborah@mnmicro.net**

Colombia “Today, I want to share from the elders’ stories that tourism has always been in our community without knowing and understand this concept. Now we know this concept –elders and young people- through education and media. The elders talk about the “visitor” arrival to our territory “wáman Lware”, our sacred place known as the Sibundoy Valley; they have come to know more about our ancestral medicine and our culture, and we always have welcomed them as one more part of our community. In this way, as a member of the Kamëntsá community, I consider that tourism could be an alternative to keep working as a community which can allow as to strengthen our culture and identity in this conjuncture, where globalization is absorbing and extinguishing our identity and our culture richness. But not everything is ok, tourism is an activity that is arriving to our communities without consultation and is imposed as a new alternative to improve our quality of life; but is something different from our vision of the world where the good living as a main thought is included. Today, tourism has come to our territory linked to individual interests, selling our culture, without taking us in account. In this fight for survival and recognition we are committed to take in our hands our history and to build from that thought the feeling and survival of our mother earth. We still remain in our territory, both Inga and Kamëntsá communities.” Doris Jacanamijoy
 * In the indigenous peoples week we want to share some ideas of Doris Jacanamijoy, tourism and hotel administration student at the Externado de Colombia University and member of the Kamëntsá Indigenous Community from Putumayo, Colombia.

Kamëntsá Indigenous Community. Putumayo, Colombia. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=991663310946238&id=562148993897674 || En la semana de los pueblos indígenas queremos compartir las ideas de Doris Jacanamijoy, estudiante de Administración Turística y Hotelera de la Universidad Externado de Colombia y miembro de la comunidad Kamëntsá de Putumayo, Colombia. "Hoy quiero compartirles desde las historias de los mayores, que el turismo siempre ha estado en mi comunidad sin saber y entender este término; hoy es más cercano y nuevo para los mayores y para los jóvenes debido a la educación y los medios de comunicación. Los mayores siempre nos han hablado de la llegada del "visitante" a nuestro territorio "wáman Lware", nuestro lugar sagrado hoy conocido como Valle de Sibundoy, por motivos de la medicina tradicional y por conocer nuestra cultura; acogiéndolo como uno más de nuestra comunidad.   En ese sentido como miembro de la comunidad Kamëntsá, considero que el turismo es una alternativa para trabajar en comunitariedad, y que nos permitirá fortalecernos como pueblo y trabajar nuestra cultural en tiempos coyunturales, donde la globalización nos absorbe y extingue nuestra identidad y toda la riqueza cultural. Pero no todo está bien, el turismo es una actividad que está llegando a los pueblos originarios con intereses particulares vendiendo nuestra cultura y sin una consulta previa, y se nos impone como el nuevo desarrollo para mejorar la calidad de vida; algo muy distinto a nuestras cosmovisiones donde conjugamos el pensamiento del buen vivir. En esa lucha de supervivencia y de reconocimiento estamos obligados a ser actores de nuestra propia historia y construir desde el pensamiento, el sentir y el vivir de la madre tierra. Nuestras comunidades permanecen aún en el territorio, aún perviven la Inga y la Kamëntsá." Doris Jacanamijoy

[|The Sweetness of the Kumara] - Kāore te kumara e kōrero ana mo tōna ake reka. The kumara does not brag about its own sweetness. This whakataukī has a number of interpretations. For some people it is a helpful reminder to be humble and to practise humility. For others arguably it is a hindrance, a reminder that you should not be seen as boastful, or bragging, perhaps taking the notion of humility to the extreme. In the first of this four-part series, Te Ahi Kaa looks at a few whakataukī (proverbs) that are often heard today explored further with a series of interviews to find out other people’s interpretations of these and their place in Māori society.

Talking Points: Guelaguetza and Te Matatini, Compare and Contrast
To better understand these events, we’re asking readers to compare and contrast the annual Guelaguetza celebration in Mexico to the biannual Te Matatini in New Zealand. One aspect of the Kiwi celebration we particularly like is that English-language translation service is broadcast on local radio and streamed online so that those who do not understand the Māori language have some interpretation, a service sorely lacking with Guelaguetza. During Indigenous Peoples Week we will be updating this section.
