Fourth World Documentation Project Update
The Center For World Indigenous Studies has recently
completed updating the Fourth World Documentation Project's
World Wide Web site to facilitate researching United
Nations involvement with Indigenous Peoples' issues. There
is now a special index page of all United Nations documents
and submissions contained in the FWDP Archives. Listed are
over 70 documents from the UN Working Group on Indigenous
Populations, the International Labour Organization and the
General Assembly. The documents have been arranged in
order of Working Group session and department.

The Fourth World Documentation Project was organized by the
Center For World Indigenous Studies in 1992. Its mission
is to make available to tribal governments, researchers and
organizations with an interest in the Fourth World, many of
the Center's documents and resources. The FWDP gathers
documents from nations and organizations around the world
and processes them into electronic text for distribution on
the Internet, Native Net and other computer networks.
These documents form an electronic archive of voices from
the Fourth World.
The FWDP archives contain over 300 documents on Fourth
World nations in the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe,
Melanesia and the Pacific. The documents include essays,
position papers, resolutions, organizational information,
treaties, UN documents, speeches and declarations. The
FWDP archives form a vital resource for tribal officials,
researchers, activists or anyone interested in Indigenous
Peoples and our past and present struggles to regain our
land and freedom.
