SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION TO HELP U ANSWER
Born in 1838, Queen Lili’uokalani was trained by missionaries in Western academic disciplines and the ways of proper American society. She was well-traveled and even attended Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887. A talented composer of more than 165 songs including the popular “Aloha Oe,” she never forgot her native language, was fiercely proud of Hawaiian traditions and was always loyal to her people.
Following her succession to the throne after her brother’s death in 1891, Lili’uokalani worked secretly to frame a new constitution that would restore power to native Hawaiians that had been usurped by wealthy American sugar growers. But two months into her reign, the US government effectively revoked Hawaii’s favored position on the American sugar market, leaving Lili’uokalani’s kingdom on the brink of economic collapse. Within two years, Lili’uokalani would lose her throne in an armed takeover by the US Marines and the Hawaiian people would lose their kingdom. Anna Deveare Smith narrates this

A Guide For NGOs and Women's Human Rights Activists at the UN and CSW 2016BPWI
Advocacy training booklet during CSW60 for Non-Governmental Organisations and Women's Human Rights Activists at the United Nations and Commission on the Status of Women
This Kit focuses on development and indigenous peoples, with emphasis on their full and effective participation in all development processes and the need for a genuine partnership in and ownership with them of these processes. More specifically, it is designed to provide UNCTs (United Nations Country Teams) with guidance as to how to engage indigenous peoples and include their perspectives in development processes, including monitoring and reporting processes related to the CCA/UNDAF, Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP), UNDP’s Human Development Reports and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Background The Resource Kit should be seen as one of many contributions to the wide-ranging reform programme initiated in 1997 by Secretary-General Kofi Annan and aimed at making the United Nations a more effective institution in terms of facing the challenges of the twenty-first century. This reform programme, which included the UN system’s development agenda in general and the MDG and PRSP processes in particular, stressed the need to strengthen the inter-linkages between peace and security, poverty reduction and sustainable human development and promotion of and respect for human rights. In response to the Secretary- General’s call to articulate a coherent vision and strategy for united approaches towards internationally agreed development goals and the Millennium Development Goals at the national level, the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) was formed in 1997 and the CCA (Country Common Assessment) and UNDAF (United Nations Development Assistance Framework) framework was adopted as a strategy planning tool for the UN system.
Together, these initiatives were designed to enhance the United Nations’ collective analysis and programming in sup-port of national goals and priorities in various development processes. At the same time, a growing awareness and recognition among Governments, the UN system and other development actors of the importance of engaging indigenous peoples in a human rights–based approach to development led to a resolution by the Economic and Social Council in 2000 to establish the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII).4
The mandate of the UNPFII includes, inter alia, “discuss[ing] indigenous issues within the ECOSOC’s mandate, including economic and social development, culture, environment, education, health and human rights; [and providing] expert advice and recommendations to the Council and to programmes, funds and agencies of the UN”. In 2002, an inter-agency mechanism the IASG (Inter-Agency Support Group)5 was established to support and promote the mandate of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues within the United Nations system. 4 ECOSOC resolution 2000/22 on the establishment of a Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. 5 The IASG is composed of 32 UN entities and other institutions including the Inter- American Development Bank, the European Commission, the
