NEW YORK -- Maōri urged an investigation into COVID-19 vaccines, during the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues on Tuesday, during its second week at U.N. Headquarters in New York.

The Russian Federation denied human rights abuses, which brought a strong response from those in exile and those recalling the genocide of Crimean Tartars.

Indigenous youths called out for support for children and youths who are victims of foster care systems, boarding schools and displacement around the world.


Catherine Murupaenga-Ikenn (Ngāti Kuri, Te Rarawa) Maori, from New Zealand, called for an investigation into COVID-19 vaccines, began by addressing the issues of health and supporting the World Health Organization's Global Action Plan for the health of Indigenous Peoples.

There is a need to eliminate institutional racism and discrimination and stop the  criminalization of indigenous peoples who seek to exercise traditional health practices.

Murupaenga-Ikenn recommended that the United Nations Forum and other agencies ensure Indigenous peoples concerns, arising from the COVID-19 response, are meaningfully incorporated into WHO's action plan development.

This includes concerns that governments exploited the pandemic to justify sacrificing Indigenous Peoples rights to land, territories and resources, often in the name of protecting national economic security.

She recommended a transparent interrogation of the safety and effectiveness of Big Pharma's medical treatments, as increasing claims of significant events are arising from COVID injections.

Speaking on the climate crisis, she said the compelling evidence, including Congressional whistleblowers' testimony, reveals that certain intelligence and military agencies and private entities have hidden knowledge of non-human alien technology.

"This is profoundly significant because many Indigenous Peoples' origin stories, prophesies and other ancestral knowledge mentions our cosmic and inter-dimensional relatives, therefore these revelations implicate us."

"The so-called green solutions, false solutions, to the climate seriously erode Indigenous Peoples self determination, environmental and other and human rights."

 Non-human solutions that are truly clean and renewable, can help eliminate poverty, disease and much more, she said.

Murupaenga-Ikenn called for the United Nations to facilitate an urgent global disclosure of non-human knowledge and technology, pointing out that this would be reactivating an attempt to do the same in 1978.

United Nations Corrupt

Murupaenga-Ikenn spoke on the violation of Maori rights by the New Zealand government, during an interview with Cultural Survival at the U.N. Permanent Forum. She said the United Nations system is becoming more corrupt and Indigenous Peoples need to form their own United Nations. She said the U.N. is doing Indigenous Peoples a "great dis-service." Listen:

Murupaenga-Ikenn describes her struggle to get her attorney's degree, in a second interview with Cultural Survival. She discusses Indigenous youths and their role as leaders. "Boycott the U.N." She said the big U.N. agencies are controlling the dialogues, "It's corrupt."
"The highest sovereign is the spiritual sovereign."

Before the U.N. Permanent Forum, Murupaenga-Ikenn described her human rights work in an interview withe New Zealand Herald.

"The Whangārei grandmother was previously appointed senior indigenous and minorities fellow for the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in its Pacific regional office.

"She currently does contract work for human rights, environmental defence and social justice, and is a trustee of Climate Change Taitokerau Northland Trust.

"At the New York forum, Murupaenga-Ikenn will bring up inequities and discrimination faced by Maōri, which she said has come to a crescendo under the Coalition Government."

Alejandra Gomez, First Nations Ojibwe Cree, said Indigenous youths endure the violence of the foster care system in the U.S., the loss of their families, culture and languages by boarding schools and residential schools in the U.S. and Canada.

Assimilation, displacement and colonization are leading to the loss of the precious resource of Indigenous youths around the world, including those in Palestine and Africa, an Indigenous youth told the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

Gomez urged the United States to ratify the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child to ensure the rights of children and youths, before the next Permanent Forum.

The Russian Federation said the colonization of Indigenous Peoples is a concept of western governments, not Russia. Russia was never a part of the idea of a supreme people, Russia's government representative told the U.N. Forum.

"It is a western concept."

The Russian Federation cited a report from the U.S. Interior Department in 2022 regarding boarding schools in Alaska. It says that Russia left behind an Indigenous population in Alaska that was nearly universally literate and participated very actively in all tiers of social and economic life, which was the same in Siberia and in the Far East, where Russia introduced literacy, Russia told the U.N., as it defended its treatment of Indigenous Peoples.

However, an Indigenous forced into exile said Indigenous Peoples in Russia are facing genocide. Describing forced removal, he told the Permanent Forum that Indigenous Peoples in Russia are viewed as an obstacle to get at their natural resources for extraction.

Reading from a letter from Siberia on the desperate conditions of Indigenous Peoples in Russia, he said, "Indigenous People are put on the brink of destruction."

Suleiman Mamutov from the Ukraine, a member of the United Nations Permanent Forum, described the brutal ethnic cleansing of his people, the Crimean Tartar people, by Russia.

Responding to the comments by the Russian Federation to the Forum, Mamutov said the European colonization carried out throughout the world is no different from what Russia has done.

Mamutov said his people too were put into boarding schools, similar to those in other countries, and it was aimed to strip away their language and culture.

With his voice filled with grief, he said his people were denied their right to live in their ancestral homeland and were forcibly removed more than 2,000 miles away, costing  100,000 lives.

"It is the reality of genocide and colonization," Mamutov said, calling for global solidarity for those who suffer from this colonial legacy.

COVID-19 vaccines and adverse events of special interest

A multinational Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) cohort study of 99 million vaccinated individuals

U.S. National Library of Medicine

Abstract
Background: The Global COVID Vaccine Safety (GCoVS) Project, established in 2021 under the multinational Global Vaccine Data Network™ (GVDN®), facilitates comprehensive assessment of vaccine safety. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of adverse events of special interest (AESI) following COVID-19 vaccination from 10 sites across eight countries.

Conclusion: This multi-country analysis confirmed pre-established safety signals for myocarditis, pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Other potential safety signals that require further investigation were identified.

Permanent Forum of the Indigenous Peoples: Estonia and Crimea Tartars

Statement by the Republic of Estonia, April 19, 2024, New York

Estonia remains dedicated to the promotion of the rights of the Finno-Ugric peoples, the language family which Estonia itself belongs to. In this regard, we witness with deep regret that the rights of indigenous peoples, including Finno-Ugric peoples, are continually violated in the Russian Federation. The indigenous peoples seeking self-determination in Russia are risking their life and freedom. Human rights defenders as well as their families are persecuted and jailed ...

We also draw attention to the fate of the Crimean Tatars. Reports of illegal conscription of Crimean Tatars to the Russian Armed Forces are of great concern, as this practice is in clear violation of the International Humanitarian Law. Under the occupying authorities of Russian Federation, human rights of Crimean Tatars, in particular freedom of expression and freedom of religion are seriously curtailed among others.
