| ‘Governance by Indigenous Peoples: |
|
the Right to Autonomy and Management of Natural Environments’
|
Rapid expansion of globalization has had a profound influence on the indigenous peoples of the world. There are quite a few examples of the destruction of indigenous peoples’ culture and natural resources, such as resource control by multinational corporations and the intrusion in great numbers of visitors from developed countries under the name of ‘eco-tourism’. However, on the other hand, widespread use of the internet has brought with it the possibility for indigenous peoples to work together and assert their common rights and values more effectively.
This symposium will focus on the state of the right to autonomy and the right to management of the natural environment for each of five indigenous peoples from around the world, and how these have been changed by globalization. Following the talks, there will be a panel discussion with comments from Hokkaido Ainu. |
