Module 4- Post 3: The United Nations website a valuable resource for information on indigenous people.

As the ETEC 521 Journey is coming to an end I am getting quite good at sniffing out information about indigenous people. I went to the UN website and did a search for indigenous people and not surprisingly I got 3660 hits. These provided as wide a range of information as possible on indigenous people from general statistics to specific issues that are pertinent to my research. Here is a list of some of the ones that stood out to me:

  1. Let’s fight racism:
  2.  UNDERDEVELOPMENT, POVERTY OF LATIN AMERICA’S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES STEM FROM HISTORIC WRONGS
  3. INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ PARTICIPATION IN DECISIONS IMPACTING COMMUNITY, LAND, CULTURE CRITICAL TO THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS, SPEAKERS TELL PERMANENT FORUM
  4. Protecting the rights of indigenous peoples 

This is a gold mine if one is prepared to dig for it.
