ILO
Convention 169 Concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples
in Independent Countries
http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/62.htm
Indigenous
Peoples are "Peoples in independent countries
who are regarded as indigenous on account of their
descent from the populations which inhabited the country,
or a geographical region to which the country belongs,
at the time of conquest or colonization or the establishment
of present State boundaries and who, irrespective
of their legal status, retain some or all of their
own social, economic, cultural and political institutions".
Tribal
Peoples are those "…whose social, cultural
and economic conditions distinguish them from other
sections of the national community, and whose status
is regulated wholly or partially by their own customs
or traditions or by special laws or regulations."
The
principle of self-identification is applied to both
"indigenous" and "tribal" peoples:
"Self-identification as indigenous or tribal
shall be regarded as a fundamental criterion for determining
the groups to which the provisions of this Convention
(ILO 169) apply."

Declaration

The
term mobile peoples (i.e. pastoralists, hunter-gatherers,
shifting agriculturalists and other peoples with dynamic
regular changing patterns of land use) refers to a
subset of indigenous and traditional peoples whose
livelihoods depend on extensive common property use
of natural resources over an area, who use mobility
as a management strategy for dealing with sustainable
use and conservation, and who possess a distinctive
cultural identity and natural resource management
system.
