Tribal Link Launches New Online Blog

Dear Equator Net members,

The Equator Initiative partner Tribal Link has created a new online blog that may be of interest to your work. We invite you to visit this new information resource via the following link: http://triballinknewsonline.blogspot.com/.

Tribal Link is a communications network linking indigenous peoples to information, media, resources and relevant networks, with a special focus on the United Nations system. Tribal Link provides information to the public regarding indigenous peoples and their issues, emphasizing the significance of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. Since 1993, Tribal Link has been working to support the world's indigenous peoples by organizing events and forums where indigenous peoples can publicize their issues; ensuring that indigenous peoples are informed and included in major UN and other forums, conferences and dialogues; mobilizing media professionals to publicize issues critical to traditional peoples and their culture; arranging hospitality programs and providing enriching cross-cultural exchanges; coordinating capacity building workshops focusing on indigenous peoples' participation within the international system. Tribal Link also works to ensure that the vital contribution of indigenous spiritual knowledge is included in major UN conferences, commissions and other events.

For additional information, please visit the Tribal Link website or contact Pamela Kraft at tribal.link@lycos.com.

Warm regards,

Gaby
