Across the globe and across time, one of the most egregious historical dynamics has been the consistent denial of basic rights for indigenous peoples. While the context and specific forms such dynamics take vary immensely according to distinct national and local contexts, the basic problems do not.  The conference is intended to start a process for understanding this complexity more fully by bringing together indigenous peoples from Africa, Latin America and North America, along with key actors at the national and international levels actively involved in trying to find practical solutions to problems of poverty, exclusion and victimization faced by indigenous peoples everywhere.
