The Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-ordinating Committee (IPACC) was founded in 1997. It is one of the main trans-national network organizations recognised as a representative of African indigenous peoples in dialogues with governments and bodies such as the UN. , IPACC was composed of 150 member organisations in 21 African countries. ==Indigenous characteristics in the African setting== IPACC identifies several key characteristics associated with indigenous claims in Africa: * ''political and economic marginalisation rooted in colonialism;'' * ''de facto discrimination based often on the dominance of agricultural peoples in the State system (e.g. lack of access to education and health care by hunters and herders);'' * ''the particularities of culture, identity, economy and territoriality that link hunting and herding peoples to their home environments in deserts and forests (e.g. nomadism, diet, knowledge systems);'' * ''some indigenous peoples, such as the San and Pygmy peoples are physically distinct, which makes them subject to specific forms of discrimination.'' With respect to concerns expressed that identifying some groups and not others as indigenous is in itself discriminatory, IPACC states that it: * ''"...recognises that all Africans should enjoy equal rights and respect. All of Africa’s diversity is to be valued. Particular communities, due to historical and environmental circumstances, have found themselves outside the state-system and underrepresented in governance...This is not to deny other Africans their status; it is to emphasise that affirmative recognition is necessary for hunter-gatherers and herding peoples to ensure their survival."'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-ordinating Committee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
