Résumé documentaire — langue originale

The trends of this century regarding the recognition of Indigenous peoples’ rights are being \nshaped by the 2007 Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Before this important \ndeclaration, Indigenous peoples worldwide were neglected in the international adoption of the \nhuman rights standards (with the exception of the International Labour Organization). This \nneglect was entrenched to international developments, including the Cold War and the modern \ndrive towards economic development and exploitation of Indigenous People, their lands and \nresources. this is because settler States, colonial and neo-colonial practices, and extractivism have \nnever been (and sometimes still are not!) at peace with Indigenous peoples. \nFor example, Canada promotes itself as a nation of peacemakers concerned with justice. \nHowever, in its dealing with Indigenous peoples the reality does not reflect the rhetoric. As an \ninstance, Canada opposed UNDRIP. When it finally signed in 2010 the government held that the \ndocument’s goals and recognitions are “aspirational” (and not legally binding). For peacebuilding \nto be real and meaningful, Canadian governments must transform rhetoric into reality and \nvigorously protect (rather than resist) Indigenous rights through law. Reconciliation with \nIndigenous peoples for the colonization and historical wrongdoing is then due to achieve \ninternal peace, respect of human rights and territorial recognition. \nAn example of reconciliation and Indigenous peoples’ peace tradition comes from New Zealand \n(Moriori of Rēkohu - Chatham Islands; Waitaha in the South Island; and Parihaka in the North \nIsland). Additionally, in Bolivia, there have been political upheavals which included the response \nof the Indigenous people to political change from the 1950s agrarian reforms. Indigenous \npeoples requested the fundamental citizen participation, redistribution of the land, reforming the \ncontrol of the State over the natural resources and the economy, universal suffrage and agrarian \nreform. although their requests were not originally met, Bolivia underwent a process of deep \npolitical transformation, until it become the Plurinational State of Bolivia with the president Evo \nMorales, the country’s first president to come from an Indigenous people. \nThese are just few examples on how settler States have undergone a process of peacebuilding \nand reconciliation with its Indigenous peoples. This presentation will argue that such \nreconciliation and peacebuilding process have a positive impact on the environment, intended as \nconservation of biodiversity, protection of forests and even promotion of Rights of Nature. In \nfact, when territorial and land rights of Indigenous peoples are recognized and protected, this has \na positive impact with the environment and natural resources, resulting in thriving biodiversity. \nThis is because Indigenous peoples share an intimate, holistic relationship with Sacred Nature, \nand this relationship has long (and it is still in some cases!) neglected by settler States.
