 * Indigenous peoples** are ethnic groups native to a land or region, especially before the arrival and intrusion of a foreign and possibly dominating culture. They are a group of people whose members share a cultural identity that has been shaped by their geographical region. Each group of Indigenous people are unique, some following similar beliefs and values, but holding onto different history and different spiritual perspectives.

Essay
Indigenous people have fallen victim to many degradations including political threats and those against the very cultural aspects and traditions that keep them grounded. Global concern has grown and with that being said so has the interest to protect such cultures and the indigenous communities throughout the world. Tourism aspects have allowed for this increased fascination to benefit local community and the indigenous people. It brings forth both positive and negative aspects, pushing for the protection of the environment and encouraging revival of cultural features to increase visitors. Thus there is the question of whether the opportunities outweigh the threats which will be deliberated through many topics listed throughout articles and information below.

Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

Spotlight http://unsr.jamesanaya.org <span style="background-image: url(">[|Annual Report to General Assembly highlights need to harmonize activities within the United Nations that affect indigenous Peoples]

In his fourth annual report to the General Assembly, which will be presented to the Assembly's Third Committee on 22 October 2012 in New York, the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples provides a summary of his activities over the past year. The report also discusses the need to harmonize the myriad of activities within the United Nations system that affect indigenous peoples and provides a review of specific UN processes and programs. The Special Rapporteur notes that the United Nations has done important work to promote the rights of indigenous peoples but that greater effort is needed to ensure that all actions within the UN system that affect indigenous peoples are in harmony with international standards, particularly those standards articulated in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. See the <span style="background-image: url(">[|report to the General Assembly here].

UNESCO
At its tenth session, the UN Permanent Forum on indigenous issues (UNPFII) made several recommendations relating to UNESCO, its World Heritage Committee and the advisory bodies ICOMOS, ICCROM and IUCN. At the 34th (Brasilia, 2010), 35th (UNESCO, 2011) and 36th (St Petersburg, 2012) sessions of the World Heritage Committee, representatives of the UN Permanent Forum were present as observers and provided statements.

The World Heritage Committee developed a vision and strategic action plan for the 40th Anniversary of the World Heritage Convention and noted that UNESCO is in the process of preparing a policy with regard to its programmes on indigenous peoples and encouraged these considerations to be included in the theme of the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention in 2012 on “World Heritage and Sustainable Development: the Role of Local Communities”.

A specific issue on World Heritage and indigenous peoples has been published as World Heritage Review No.62 to draw the attention of the international community to this important topic. It is available online in English, French and Spanish.

Quotes
Building genuine partnerships with Aboriginal people isn't just about benefiting indigenous Australians. Perhaps non-Aboriginal Australia can learn from a people who have survived 60,000 years on this harsh continent. We will then be on the way to developing an equal partnership that makes Aboriginal health 'everyone's business'. Don't be put off if you are unsure how to proceed. Those ten women showed me, in a way I'll never forget, that you don't have to know the answers. You don't even have to know the questions. What you need to do for successful consultation is to know how to build trust, show respect, listen and not be hurried. - Anthony Hillin, <span style="background-image: url(">[|Walking the path together]

The measure by which we should test our laws and our institutions is to ask how they work for the poor, the marginalized and the culturally distinct. It's never enough that they work well for the rich, well-educated members of the dominant culture. Larissa Behrendt, <span style="background-image: url(">[|Perils, Real or Imagined] (2005)

Kakadu has sort of fallen between the cracks. Even with the abundance of publicity derived from films like Crocodile Dundee and countless wildlife documentaries, the significance of the indigenous peoples is rarely properly acknowledged. - John Morse, cited in <span style="background-image: url(">[|Kakadu or Don't]

Too long we have been brainwashed into believing that our own indigenous languages of the world are not compatible with the modern world. We no longer succumb to the colonisations of our minds forcing us to believe that we must give away our indigenous languages in order to be part of our global community. We know that is rubbish and it’s time to say it loudly around the world. - <span style="background-image: url(">[|Sir Tamati Reedy] delivered at the World Indigenous Peoples Conference in Education (WIPCE) in 1990 held at <span style="background-image: url(">[|Turangawaewae Marae, Hamilton], cited in <span style="background-image: url(">[|Te Ahi Kaa]

Reflection
How do we listen to marginalized voices without making others feel like they are 'marginalized people.' The key lies in respecting the tradition and culture and often the locality -- what makes a place special for a particular group of people. The stories indigenous peoples can share will always have a different depth than what non indigenous peoples bring to the table. There will be a seachange in tourism when enough locals and visitors embrace the local travel movement and what is hyperlocal.

Successful web presence attracts additional visitors to an area which in turn create a positive economic impact for the local economies.

Misc
There is no clear definition internationally agreed upon on the meaning of Indigenous peoples. There is a variation of people among the world that some classify as indigenous and others no. Many terms that fall under the scope of Indigenous people include the First Nations, Aboriginals, Tribes and Tribal People.

Workshops
Sustainable tourism presents an important opportunity to protect and conserve not only biodiversity, but also cultural diversity and traditional knowledge. In light of this, the Conference of the Parties of the CBD adopted the Guidelines on Biodiversity and Tourism Development and the Secretariat developed a User’s Manual based on these Guidelines. These Guidelines and User’s Manual are particularly useful to indigenous peoples as a blueprint and hands on guide to protect and conserve biological and cultural diversity and traditional knowledge.

Indigenous people and traditional communities around the world, particularly those managing areas with significant biodiversity for livelihood and cultural reasons, have long realized that tourists are interested in visiting their surrounding areas and experiencing their ways of life and cultural roots. This has led to the development of various tourism products (tours, accommodation services, transportation and interpretation offers) designed, managed and operated by indigenous communities and leaders.

We presented the winners of the Indigenous Tourism and Biodiversity Website Award at the September 2010 Ecotourism Conference in Portland, Oregon. TIME Unlimited tours is a luxury tour operator located in New Zealand, promoting sustainable tourism. They take you across New Zealand promoting the beautiful scenic areas and interesting history on New Zealand and Maori culture. In 2010 they were presented with this award. http://www.newzealandtours.travel/ http://www.newzealandtours.travel/en-gb/auckland-tours/cultural-experiences

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">//**Who are indigenous peoples?**// <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">- It is estimated that there are more than 370 million indigenous people spread across 70 countries worldwide. Practicing unique traditions, they retain social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Spread across the world from the Arctic to the South Pacific, they are the descendants - according to a common definition - of those who inhabited a country or a geographical region at the time when people of different cultures or ethnic origins arrived. The new arrivals later became dominant through conquest, occupation, settlement or other means. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">Among the indigenous peoples are those of the Americas (for example, the Lakota in the USA, the Maya<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;"> in Mexico and Central America or the Aymaras in Bolivia), the Inuit and Aleutians of the circumpolar region, the Sámi of northern Europe, the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia and the Maori of New Zealand. These and most other indigenous peoples have retained distinct characteristics which are clearly different from those of other segments of the national populations.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">Considering the diversity of indigenous peoples, an official definition of “indigenous” has not been adopted by any UN-system body. Instead the system has developed a modern understanding of this term based on the following: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Self- identification as indigenous peoples at the individual level and accepted by the community as their member. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Historical continuity with pre-colonial and/or pre-settler societies <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Strong link to territories and surrounding natural resources <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Distinct social, economic or political systems <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Distinct language, culture and beliefs <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Form non-dominant groups of society <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Resolve to maintain and reproduce their ancestral environments and systems as distinctive peoples and communities.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">//Understanding the term 'indigenous'// **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">//A question of identity// <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• According to the UN the most fruitful approach is to identify, rather than define indigenous peoples. This is based on the fundamental criterion of self-identification as underlined in a number of human rights documents. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• The term “indigenous” has prevailed as a generic term for many years. In some countries, there may be preference for other terms including tribes, first peoples/nations, aboriginals, ethnic groups, adivasi, janajati. Occupational and geographical terms like hunter-gatherers, nomads, peasants, hill people, etc., also exist and for all practical purposes can be used interchangeably with “indigenous peoples”. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">• In many cases, the notion of being termed “indigenous” has negative connotations and some people may choose not to reveal or define their origin. Others must respect such choices, while at the same time working against the discrimination of indigenous peoples. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">//Culture and Knowledge// <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">Indigenous peoples are the holders of unique languages, knowledge systems and beliefs and possess invaluable knowledge of practices for the sustainable management of natural resources. They have a special relation to and use of their traditional land. Their ancestral land has a fundamental importance for their collective physical and cultural survival as peoples. Indigenous peoples hold their own diverse concepts of development, based on their traditional values, visions, needs and priorities.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">//Political participation// <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">Indigenous peoples often have much in common with other neglected segments of societies, i.e. lack of political representation and participation, economic marginalization and poverty, lack of access to social services and discrimination. Despite their cultural differences, the diverse indigenous peoples share common problems also related to the protection of their rights. They strive for recognition of their identities, their ways of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resources.

World Indigenous Tourism Forum (WINTA)
__winta__ Sustainable tourism presents an important opportunity to protect and conserve not only biodiversity, but also cultural diversity and traditional knowledge. In light of this, the Conference of the Parties of the CBD adopted the Guidelines on Biodiversity and Tourism Development and the Secretariat developed a User’s Manual based on these Guidelines. These Guidelines and User’s Manual are particularly useful to indigenous peoples as a blueprint and hands on guide to protect and conserve biological and cultural diversity and traditional knowledge.

Indigenous people and traditional communities around the world, particularly those managing areas with significant biodiversity for livelihood and cultural reasons, have long realized that tourists are interested in visiting their surrounding areas and experiencing their ways of life and cultural roots. This has led to the development of various tourism products (tours, accommodation services, transportation and interpretation offers) designed, managed and operated by indigenous communities and leaders. @IISUNAM
