Sun, 09/30/2007 - Dear friends of West Papua, We, from fPcN Germany, the German Free West Papua Campaign, got the opportunity to present a video at the Biennale in Venice at September 6th 2007, 11.35 am under the theme: “The cultural Dimension of Sustainability – Towards an Ecology of Culture”. Afterwards, there is room for discussion with the filmmaker Steffen Keulig, the “jungle child” Sabine Kuegler, a famous writer from Germany as well as with Benny Wenda, the chairman of the Koteka Tribal Assembly and chair of the Free West Papua Campaign UK.

Here is a video about the Akha Intervention that I presented at New York for the 6th Session of the UNPFII.

The Thais have not responded to our concerns about the Queen taking the land of Hooh Yoh Akha, in more than two years.

The Queen of Thailand in fact has taken the land from adjacent villages including Pah Nmm Akha, in Ampur Mae Faluang, Chiangrai Province and other villages as well.

We need volunteers and lots of help to change this situation.

A short, German narrated, film about the life of the Hadzabe bushman, of East Africa.

This film can be bought from us, in DVD or PAL VHS, or high res MPEG. See our Media Order form under the Films section.

Being hunters and gatherers, the Hadzabe need an intact, natural area to live in, unlike nomads or farmers. Over hundreds of thousands of years, living in tribes, without the restraints of anonymous hierarchic societies or the laws of religion, has proven to be the
best way to live.
