General Info section for Progress Report #3

Emily Metallic- I am assigned to the general information segment of the presentation. Essentially, I am responsible for introducing the presentation and topic to the class. Because this is a broad and relatively cursory assignment, I will also compile the presentation and take on a sort of project manager role. So far I have made my portion of the presentation, beginning with laying out the organization of the presentation in the following order: introduction; case studies; roles of corporations, governments and individuals; and solutions. In the introduction section, I have defined the terms: corporation, environmental destruction and indigenous communities. I also explain why the topic is important. I found a video that links consumer dollars with government corruption and  community benefits. I am looking for better videos and graphics to accompany my portion of the presentation. Below are the links I've used with brief annotations.

• most cited descriptions of the concept of the indigenous was given by Jose R. Martinez Cobo, the Special Rapporteur of the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities, in his famous Study on the Problem of Discrimination against Indigenous Populations
