Persona 1:
Sai che cos’è il diritto ad un consenso libero, precedente ed
informato?

Persona 2:
Certo! È il diritto che hanno le nostre comunità di essere
informate dal governo sull’attività mineraria, il petrolio, l’acqua
ed altri progetti che potrebbe realizzare nelle nostre comunità.
Per di più, il governo ha l’obbligo di ascoltare e valutare le
nostre opinioni così insieme possiamo arrivare ad un accordo
prima che il progetto sia eseguito.

Persona 1:
Dalla nascita, ogni essere umano ha certi diritti che non
possono essere sottratti, e come Persone Indigene, abbiamo
il diritto ad un consenso libero, precedente ed informarto.

Persona 2:
Non importa di quale paese sei, questo diritto riguarda tutti
noi e dovrebbe essere messo in atto quando il governo
intende sfruttare le risorse naturali all’interno delle nostre
comunità, specialmente quando questi progetti potrebbero
provocare cambiamenti dannosi alle nostre terre.

Persona 1:
Ogni stagione mi preoccupo della nostra mancanza di
raccolto; semplicemente non abbiamo abbastanza terra
da quando la compagnia si è trasferita nella nostra
comunità.

Persona 1:
Io sono un indigeno. Ho il diritto ad un consenso libero,
precedente ed informato, ma il governo usa delle strategie per
evitare di conformarsi a questo diritto. Una delle strategie è
quella d’identificare i capi locali nelle nostre comunità e
convincerli attraverso tangenti, offerte di lavoro, ed altre
promesse, a lavorare esclusivamente a nome del governo o di
una compagnia di sviluppo, invece di agire nel migliore
interesse della vasta comunità che rappresentano. Per questa
ragione, è molto importante che come Persone Indigene

Persona 1:
Per le comunità indigene, il diritto ad un consenso libero,
precedente, ed informato è sostenuto dall’articolo 10 della
Dichiarazione delle Nazioni Unite sui Diritti delle Persone
Indigene, che afferma che i governi non possono dislocare
forzatamente le comunità indigene dalle loro terre o territori
nè realizzare qualsiasi progetto contrattuale sulle terre delle
persone indigene senza il loro consenso libero, precedente ed
informato.

Persona 1:
L’articolo 19 della Dichiarazione dell’ONU sui diritti delle
Persone Indigene dichiara:

che gli stati devono ottenere un consenso libero, precedente,
ed informato dalle Persone Indigene prima di adottare e
applicare misure legislative ed amministrative che le
riguardano.

Come persone indigene noi abbiamo il diritto di vivere in
comunità sicure e quando cambiamenti sono attuati nelle
nostre terre dovremmo riferirci all’Articolo 29 della
Dichiarazione delle Nazioni Unite sui Diritti delle Persone
Indigene: Questo articolo afferma che le Persone Indigene
devono dare il loro consenso libero, precedente, ed informato
prima che materiali pericolosi possano essere immagazzinati
o eliminati sulla loro terra.

Nessun cambiamento può essere effettuato sulla nostra terra
prima di applicare l’Articolo 32 della Dichiarazione delle
Nazioni Unite sui diritti delle Persone Indigene che afferma
che gli stati dovono ottenere un consenso libero precedente
ed informato prima di approvare qualsiasi progetto di sviluppo
che interessi le terre e le risorse delle Persone Indigene,
“specialmente riguardo lo sviluppo, l’uso, o lo sfruttamento
di minerali, acqua, o altre risorse.”

Come persone indigene noi abbiamo il diritto di decidere
sui cambiamenti che possono essere attuati sulle nostre
terre, come stipulato nella Dichiarazione delle Nazioni Unite
sui Diritti delle Persone Indigene così come nella Convenzione
169 della Organizzazione Internazionale del Lavoro e altre
misure internazionali che riconoscono il diritto ad un consenso
libero, precedente, ed informato. Queste misure dichiarano i
diritti delle Persone Indigene e obbligano gli stati a rispettare
questo diritto.

Per le Persone Indigene, il diritto ad un consenso libero,
precedente, ed informato è un diritto fondamentale,
intrinseco, e inalienabile. Questo significa che è un elemento
essenziale e necessario di progetti in via di sviluppo che
influenzano la nostra gente e non ci può essere negato.
Secondo la legge internazionale, un consenso libero,
precedente, ed informato assicura che le comunità Indigene
decidano liberamente su progetti che possono beneficiare
noi e le generazioni future, in conformità con la nostra cultura,
visione del mondo, e valori.

This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
While countries all over the world are on lockdown, and panic is the order of the day, this is a time when Indigenous Peoples around the world are encouraged to stay calm, and be strong, in the face of severe adversity.
What is most important to note, is that our elderly are the most vulnerable. We need to take extra precaution to save the lives of the ones who are dear to us, and the ones who have shown us the way to go, who have guided our feet on the path that we all walk.

This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
While we adhere to the precautionary measures that prevent the spread of the coronavirus, it is important to strengthen the defenses in our body through responsible and healthy nourishment. Having a healthy immune system means that our bodies can fight the virus.
Within the community there are a great variety of foods that grow and are produced that can cover the needs of our families and of those elders who live alone.

This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
The Covid-19 Pandemic is upon us, and we all need to adhere to all the hygiene protocols.
While it is important to ensure the well-being of our elders in the time of this global pandemic, let us take care of our children too. If this is new for us, imagine the psychological impact it has on our young ones. Take the time to explain it to them, first hand, as opposed to what they see and hear on social media, television and radio.

Covid-19 is still a grave reality, now with a new strain of the virus spreading across the world. When the pandemic first began, we did not expect it to last this long, and no one expected that it would spread so widely and have such a disastrous impact. As we move into 2021, it continues to be crucial to maintain social distance, avoid large groups of people, wash or sanitize our hands and wear masks consistently to stop the spread of the virus.

After months of clinical trials by many companies in different countries, several vaccines, which are 94-95% effective, have finally been approved and are now making their way to hospitals, clinics and doctors rooms. Successful trials of the vaccines have taken place with medical professionals and the elderly. Vaccines against COVID-19 will be available to us soon.

Limited access to basic health services remains a big problem for Indigenous communities across all continents. Indigenous populations in many countries have experienced poorer health outcomes compared to non-Indigenous populations. Mainstream health services have not adequately met the health needs of Indigenous Peoples in both rural and urban settings.

With colonization and migration comes intercultural exchanges. Religions are often brought from one area to another, and with this, new traditions and ways of worship. Radio producer Mathias Kowayu Tooko explores the impact of Christianity on his people.

Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.
