BOULDER, CO, October 24, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- A databank, community resource, and information portal sponsored by the Bauu Institute and Press located in Boulder, Colorado, Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources (http://indigenouspeoplesissues.com) has quickly become a leader in providing articles, news, and information on indigenous peoples from around the world. Not only is the resource being hailed by the scientific community, it is also fast becoming a go-to portal for various indigenous peoples around the world.
On the occasion, Dr. Jones remarked, "Indigenous people today face numerous challenges, in some cases more than any previous generation. Large multi-national companies are extracting natural resources from indigenous people's traditional homelands. Ecotourism is having an adverse effect on traditional indigenous cultural values. The establishment of large preserves of wildlife management has caused detrimental impacts to traditional subsistence lifeways by indigenous peoples throughout the world. In order to help mitigate these ongoing and constant impacts, the Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources site was established to help empower indigenous peoples and provide information for mitigating these impacts."
The Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources site is a resource and information portal that acts as a form of social outreach for those who want to find out what is happening to the world's indigenous peoples, as well as a means of providing information to the public about one of today's central human rights issues.
A contributing organization for the Development Gateway Foundation, the site not only covers news stories from around the world, but also academic projects, case studies, and special articles. Shedding more light on the nature of the site, Dr. Jones said, "Although there are a number of sites that cover a particular topic or indigenous group, this site is the first to attempt a holistic, global, multidisciplinary perspective. As a result, a larger understanding is developed as to the problems facing indigenous peoples around the world."
Always seeking contributors, news articles, academic papers, and the like, the Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources site has ambitious plans for continued growth. Several collaborative projects are in development, and with the Indigenous Issues Today news blog, it is hoped that a positive impact can be made.
