Fourth session of
the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues
The
fourth session of the Permanent Forum took place
from 16 to 27 May 2005
at the United Nations Headquarters, in New York.
During the Forum, the Oblate Justice and Peace/ Integrity of Creation Office sponsored a successful viewing of the documentary "Behind the Green" about the situation of the Khasi and Garo peoples in Bangladesh.
A downloadable copy of the flyer for this gathering can be found here, and is included
at the bottom of this page.
Fr. Joseph
Gomes, OMI and Sanjeeb Drong, a close collaborator of the Oblates, attended his gathering along with Fr. Seamus Finn,
OMI and Moloya Chisim. Sanjeeb and Moloya are both
indigenous leaders from Bangladesh who work closely with Oblates
there.
The theme of
the fourth session of the Permanent Forum is: “Millennium Development Goals and indigenous peoples”, with special emphasis
on Goal 1: “Eradicate extreme poverty and Hunger” and Goal 2:
“Achieve universal primary education”.
