INVITASJON TIL SEMINAR OM KONFLIKTLØSNING VED BRUK AV PEACEMAKING CIRCLE I Kautokeino (LES-bygget), 8.-9. juni 2008
Indre Finnmark tingrett har over en tid arbeidet med planer om å prøve ut alternative former for konfliktløsning. Høsten 2007 ble det gjennomført et seminar om Peacemaking Circles - da spesielt med henblikk på Restorative Justice i straffesaksbehandlingen. Bruk av Peacemaking Circles er imidlertid en konfliktløsningsform som også kan benyttes i sivile tvister. I Finnmark står man overfor forholdsvis omfattende prosesser med å klarlegge rettstilstanden, særlig gjelder dette klarlegging av beiterettigheter inne reindrifta, landrettighetene og retten til fiske i sjø. Det vises til reindriftslovens kapittel 7 (beiterettigheter), Finnmarkslovens kapittel 5 (kartlegging av rettigheter) og NOU 2008:5 (Retten til fiske i havet utenfor Finnmark). Det er i forhold til disse prosesser fremhevet som ønskelig at partene kan finne frem til omforente løsninger, blant annet ved bruk av megling eller tradisjonell konfliktløsning. I samarbeid med Reindriftsforvaltningen inviteres det med dette til seminar om konfliktløsning ved bruk av Peacemaking Circle i Kautokeino den 8.-9. juni 2008. Seminaret vil bli gjennomført som en sirkel (Peacemaking Circle) under ledelse av brødrene Phillip og Harold Gatensby fra Tlingit stammen i Yukon. Hensikten vil være å på denne måte få kjennskap til de grunnleggende forutsetninger og verdier for å kunne gjennomføre slik konfliktløsning. Dette kan gi grunnlag for å videreutvikle våre egne tradisjonelle og institusjonaliserte konfliktløsningsmåter.

Informasjon om Brødrene Gatensby og Peacemaking Circles Concepts The proposed training is based on a Holistic Value based approach. Many “alternate dispute resolution” processes are beginning to be applied in the area of justice, education and social programs as a means of resolving disputes. The approach that we take is to incorporate in both the process as well as the technique, community and personal values, as the foundation to resolve disputes. When we examine the values from the traditional models and stories, that we use, it leads us to look at a spiritual foundation that respects the many different understandings of spirituality by different people. The circle is a good foundation to let the emotions of individuals and communities become a part of the solution. We also touch on some of the conceptual models or underlying principles to resolve these disputes. The focus is on the healing of the individual based on the traditional model of bringing the individual into balance (or healing) within the community in order to establish a foundation for the community to enhance its healing journey. The holistic or value based approach uses justice in the circle process as healing while the communities often see justice in a contemporary system as a process of punishment. It is important to note that often issues that are dealt with in the court process remain unresolved issues in the communities that only have to be dealt with when an offender returns to the community. This also applies to other formal systems operating in our communities such as education and social programs. It is important for the communities to be involved in a process that will directly affect them. It is also essential that they establish a working relationship and partnership with the formal systems. Our experiences show that when this partnership is established it forms a much stronger community. The underlying concept involved in a traditional peace making circle is based on what is referred to as a consensus approach while the contemporary systems tends to be based on adversarial approach. We cannot advocate that one approach is better than the other is but that each one needs the other to be in place within the community to be used as the community determines. Topics to be covered The content that we would encourage the group to cover within the workshop is as follows: spirituality and the importance of spirituality in healing individuals and communities values and importance of values in dealing with disputes especially within the communities, within the families and also within the self we will also discuss how to initiate a process that will begin to build community support and empowerment how to use this process to build better working relationships between the different systems within the community we suggest using scenarios that are meaningful to the community in mock circle's to gain a working knowledge of how the circle process feels the trainers will share the experiences that they've gained in their community based systems the trainers will use storytelling and traditional methods throughout the workshop
GATHERING POWER My name is Harold Gatensby. I live in a small Community called Carcross and am a man of Tlingit ancestry. Tlingit is one of the Indigenous peoples from the Northwest coastal area. I was born and raised in a time of unhealthy transition between two worlds. My Community was negatively impacted by being the location to one of the many Indian residential/boarding schools. I have been working for over twenty-five years in the peacemaking field. I have been recognized for my contribution many times. When asked what motivates me, I must say it is from a feeling of gratitude and the absolute understanding that we desperately need to create a healthy, more conscious world for the future of humanity. It is my understanding that we are all living examples of what it is that we believe. My brother Phillip, myself, and our families have dedicated our lives to helping to create a better world for the future of all those coming behind us. Over the years we have developed a unique process that creates an environment which promotes the healing of all aspects of a human being. This transformational process has taken us throughout North America in order to accommodate the requests for assistance in many areas struggling with life’s challenges. The success and effectiveness of this process has been spread virtually by word of mouth. While not being advertised, this process has taken us to work with individuals, with families, with communities, in prisons, churches, all levels of education, within street gangs, judges, police, ex-cons, Federal Justice management teams, and many tribes of Native Americans etc. We have developed a wilderness camp called Nares Mountain Wilderness Camp where we host trainings with participants from all walks of life, all ages, and all races. We have been operating our family based camp for the past sixteen years. Through the training at the camp we assist the participants in rediscovering the precious and sacred connection to all of life and the responsibility of stewardship for the benefit of all.
