Thank You For Your Help!

Many people have offered advice and suggestions. Suggestions have come by mail, e-mail, the interactive web site, personal interviews and international workshops. All of these comments have been very helpful and welcome. Almost all have been incorporated into the handbook.

"Indigenous peoples embody knowledge, even wisdom, that we may have lost, or never had. Their loss would impoverish us for, just as the world needs genetic diversity of species, it needs diversity of knowledge systems."
Huguette Labelle, President,
Canadian International Development Agency,
at the Plenary Session on
Global Knowledge and Local Culture of the
International Global Knowledge '97 Conference
in Toronto, 1997
This handbook is intended for project development officers in the Canadian International Development Agency to help guide them in planning projects that interact with indigenous people.
