The fourth Session of the Permanent Forum 2005,
Thematic agenda: Millennium Development Goals and Indigenous Peoples
The
Millennium Development goals summarize the development goals agreed on
at international conferences and world summits during the 1990s. at the
end of the last century, world leaders distilled the key goals and
targets in the Millennium Declaration (September 2000). The Declaration
reaffirms universal values of human rights, equality, mutual respect
and shared responsibility for the conditions of all people and seeks to
redress globalization’s hugely unequal benefits and governments’ commit
themselves to fulfilling their obligations by 2015.
The
Millennium Declaration sighed by 147 Heads of State and Government has
helped to place a renewed focus on indigenous people’s in the
international development debate and the UN Permanent forum on
Indigenous Issues has strategically decided to choose Indigenous
peoples and the Millennium development Goals (MDGs) as the theme of the
forum 2005.
The
UNPFII will play an important role in facilitating and brokering
dialogue and advancing the concerns of Indigenous Peoples, who are
often the most marginalized populations in society, deprived of their
right to development, including access to equal education, healthcare,
employment, and participation in policy processes affecting their lives.
Within
this frame work the UNPFII directive towards a joint
campaign for having Indigenous peoples participation and their active
leadership role in the Millennium Campaign

- Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
- Achieve universal primary education

Rev.
RaDine Amen-ra also presented a side event to educate the indigenous
world community about the collective condition of the American
Indians racially identified as Negro or black Americans collective
deterioration as a people since the invasion and occupation of the U.S
This presentation is the first presentation given by a indigenous
American in UNPFII history.. The presentation was long over due and
exposed how over generations of colonialism systems of
assimilation has isolated and erased a race of people,
objectified a culture thru ethnic identity distortion and complete
elimination in primary education of the essentials knowledge need to
empower the indigenous people ability to cultural development and
viability. This presentation was needed to combat the horrible
attitudes and beliefs people all over the world have about the American
blacks and their blatant disrespect towards their own humanity. We have
not forgotten who we are and the American Indians have never mutated
and disappeared.
The challenge was meet, however more work in the future will be needed.
The
Papal Bulls from 1492-1512 have been discussed extensively with all
indigenous people of the Americas. Rev, RaDine strongly urges all
people to help with the fight at the international court to
reverse these mandates implemented by the Christian Church, which
removed the people who belong to the lands from their rights to be
recognized as sovereign Nation s instead of occupants to the land
with the same condition as the animals. All people of color in America
has a vested stake in the outcome of this historic case.
