We have entered a period of major changes. National identity is in crisis everywhere. And for the indigenous people, identity has too long been submerged by artificial borders. A lot of Berlin Walls are going to fall. (Rodrigo Contreras, World Council of Indigenous Peoples, cited in Chartrand 1991, 26-27) On 10 December 1992, United Nations Secretary General Boutros Boutros- Ghali welcomed over 200 indigenous peoples from across the world to New York City for inaugural ceremonies and meetings to mark 1993 as the "In- ternational Year of Indigenous Peoples." According to Bill Means of the International Indian Treaty Council, it was the first time that Indian peoples of the Americas were allowed to address the United Nations (UN). In connection with these meetings, a draft of a "Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People" was circulated for reviewing.1 If adopted by the UN General Assembly, this declaration would accord indigenous peoples world- wide the right of self-determination pursuant to international law, extend to them the set of human rights recognized in the Charter of the United Nations and in international human rights laws, and protect them from discrimination based on their indigenous identity. Coming shortly after the quincentenary of the Columbian voyages, these UN actions were both timely and long in delay. They are a response to demands by indigenous peoples of the world for representation within the system of nation-states, a system that has systematically denied their self-determination. Important as it is, adoption of the declaration represents only one among many tactics in the broader struggle for American Indian sovereignty
