The International Forum on Globalization (IFG) and the Tebtebba Foundation are pleased to announce a public Teach-In
celebrating major milestones in the rising resistance and political power of indigenous peoples against the invasions of corporate
globalization. The event will feature 30 indigenous and non-indigenous speakers and will celebrate three important developments:
- The passage of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by the United Nations General Assembly. This momentous achievement,
after 22 years of struggle, creates one of the most important political documents of our era, serving to protect the rights of indigenous
peoples, their crucial right of self-determination, their collective rights, and sovereignty. Indigenous speakers active in the Declaration
process will be present.
- The recent political gains of indigenous peoples, especially in South America. They have succeeded in influencing progressive political
outcomes in many countries, including election of indigenous leader Evo Morales, president of Bolivia. Speakers actively involved in these
struggles will join us.
- The publication of a new, expanded edition of “Paradigm Wars: Indigenous Peoples’ Resistance to Globalization,” edited by Jerry Mander
and Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, published by Sierra Club Books. The book contains 28 articles on the major issues facing indigenous communities
throughout the world, and highlights the many ways their resistance continues to counter corporate globalization’s drive to exploit the world’s
last remaining natural resources, much of which is on native lands.
