Excerpt
Excerpt: Madam Chairperson, fellow representatives and friends in the struggles of indigenous peoples rights, first, I convey from Africa the message of unity and resolute determination to consolidate the strive for our common course. I have learnt that this is the first time that representatives of any community in Africa have been able to attend this very important forum. This is a historic moment for us. We are only two in attendance, both from Tanzania, of the Hadza and Maasai communities. I take this opportunity to express our very profound appreciation of the generosity of the U.N. Voluntary Fund and the NGO Human Rights Fund for Indigenous Peoples which have helped to sponsor our trip to Geneva. We look forward to the future when more delegates from Africa will be able to make use of this valuable forum. Also would you please accept my wish for your attention and time to introduce our plight and to provide you with some basic information about the situation in Africa which has not been aired in this forum before.
