" Como indígenas que somos, entendemos claramente la necesidad de autonomía que tienen nuestros pueblos. Como pueblos tenemos nuestra propia cultura, nuestras tradiciones y nuestras formas de organización con raíces muy profundas que están desapareciendo. Los Pueblos Indígenas deben tener la libertad y la oportunidad de dirigirse y buscar su propio destino. Tenemos claro que los Pueblos Indígenas saben dirigirse, saben organizarse y también saben defenderse cuando es necesario. Los indígenas, como seres humanos tenemos el deber, la obligación y ASESINADO CANDIDATO PRI el derecho de hablar y ser escuchados. Así es que pido a todos mis hermanos indígenas que se esfuercen por ser escuchados. Sabemos que los uis Donaldo Colosio,candidato indígenas del mundo somos los más despreciados, los más marginados y del Partido Revolucionario los más olvidados. ha llegado el momento de unir nuestras voces para que Institucional, PRI, fue asesinado nos escuche el mundo entero". mientras cumplía con una gira Corralito y San José de Baños. Allí mismo, de acuerdo con algunos testigos de la zona, muchos soldados del ejército y Zapatistas murieron en los enfrentamientos. Los civiles que no fueron alcanzados por el fuego cruzado, fueron secuestrados por el ejército. La delegación visitó también varia Fincas, (grandes extensiones de tierra ocupadas por los latifundistas en donde los indígenas tienen que trabajar como peones por un salario de entre 8 a 1Omil pesos -alrededor de 3 dólares-). Mientras tanto el Ejército Zapatista se replegó ala SelvaLacandona donde tiene establecido su Cuartel General. Días más tarde, la delegación se trasladó a los lugares donde se encuentran los casi 21 mil refugiados, 98% de los cuales son indígenas. Sus condiciones son precarias y carecen de los elementos escenciales como alimentos, ropa y medicamentos, estos últimos necesarios para los muchos indígenas enfermos. La 7 No. 3 &4 mayor parte de los refugiados se encuentran en Escuelas, Centros Culturales, Hospitales, Iglesias y también en los albergues del Instituto Indigenista de Mexico, en San Cristóbal. Delll all4 de enero, se reunieron en San Cristóbal de las Casas en una mobilización sin precedentes, alrededor de 520 delegados de 280 Organizaciones Indígenas y Campesinas de todo el Estado de Chiapas para proponer soluciones a este grave conflicto y demandar justicia. Los principales acuerdos fueron la formación del Consejo Indígena y Campesino del Estado de Chiapas, CEOI, el apoyo a los zapatistas en sus demandas y la búsqueda de soluciones pacíficas mediante la negociación. Se consideró además necesaria la formación una nueva relación entre el Estado y los pueblos Indígenas, a través del cambio de la Carta proselitista en Tijuana (frontera con Estados Unidos). Al parecer fue asesinado por un individuo dentro de la multitud que lo acompañaba, sin embargo, existe la opinión generalizada de que su asesinato fue parte de un complot organizado por opositores a su candidatura dentro del mismo PRI. Existe el temor, entre los indígenas, de que el Gobierno Mexicano tratará de utilizar este asesinato como justificación para no ceder en las negociaciones y repnmlf violentamente a los líderes indígenas y alEZLN. Durante los últimos días, tropas del ejército se han trasladado a la región en la que están localizados los Zapatistas, para prepar una ofensiva. El EZLN condenó el asesinato, calificándolo de cobarde, y señaló a la política de línea dura del PRI como responsable. También anunció que el ejército ha desplegado gran cantidad de tropas tratando de rodear al EZLN sobre todo en Las Margaritas, Ocosingo y Altamirano. 15 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ambos eran líderes del pueblo Xicaque y Vicente Matute era presidente de la Federación de la Tribu Xicaque (FE1RIXI), presidente del Consejo Hondureño para el Desarrollo de Grupos Etnicos y Autóctonos (CAHDEA), y el Coordinador General de la Comisión para la Confederación del Pueblos Etnicos de Honduras . La comunidad ha presentado reclamos legales al gobierno y a terratenientes, que siguen invadiendo tierras Indígenas para cortar maderas. Los pleitos tuvieron éxito en cuanto a que se produjeron reglamentos legales y se sentaron precedentes para la retención del control de Indígenas sobre sus tierras. El30 de septiembre de 1991, a eso de las 5:00AM en el poblado de Plan Grande en el Departamento de Y oro,! os dos líderes de los Pueblos Indígenas de Tolupan (Xicaque) fueron ejecutados mientras viajaban en un camión. Ambos fueron "acribillados cuando desaceleraron para cruzar un paso angosto. Los perpetradores escaparon a la cercanía, en los matorrales del camino." Evidentemente los asesinatos son el resultado de las declaraciones hechas por los dos líderes, en una conferencia de prensa el pasado 18 de septiembre; en la cual llamaron atención sobre las amenazas de muerte efectuadas por los terratenientes, en contra de 130 familias de la tribu Pech localizada en Vol 6 Números 1 y 2 la Municipalidad de Dulce Nombre del Culmi, en la Provincia de Olancho. En esta conferencia de prensa Matute declaró que la tribu Xicaque del Departamento de Yoro enfrenta problemas similares, añadiendo que uno de los miembros deFE1RlX1, Marcelino Po lance fue herido por dos hombres vestidos de civil.

En la provincia de Chimborazo los indígenas se reunieron en sus comunidades para dirigirse a la cabecera cantonal de Alausi, la víspera del "Día de la Raza", viernes 11 de 1991. Mujeres, hombres, jóvenes, ancianos y niños se r:2t:r1 ieron para expresar sus reclamos y su rechazo a ; J fecha que significa "bien venida" para los españoles ~'<.:ro para los indígenas, fecha sangrienta, dolorosa. "No hemos venido a desfilar por el 'Día de la ~',hemos venido a reclamar nuestros derechos. Bstamos aquí para pedir a los periodistas que, a nivel nacional e internacional, hagan conocer nuestm protesta contra las 'celebraciones' que se quieren hacer sobre la primera invasión y despojo de nuestra tierra en octubre de 1492". Aquí estamos presentes. Todavía existimos," fueron las palabras de un dirigente. Miles de indígenas, con sus ponchos rojos, sus bocinas y sus danzas, miles de mujeres con sus hijos a la espalda, caminaron tres y cuatro horas por los montes tortuosos, en una cita de unidad y de protesta. El aire ven toso y frio se contagió de la música de la multitud de bandas que acompañaba a los comuneros. Las cuatro federaciones del cantón de Alausi dieron un festival multicolor cargado de dignidad y de entusiasmo a través de los cuatro costados: Totoras, Tixan, Ach upallas y Sibambe, para llegar al encuentro de protesta, denuncia, reclamo y rabia ante el siniestro acontecimiento de una historia distorsionada en las escuelas de Ecuador. En su recorrido por el campo y la ciudad, denunciaron los engaños que han sufrido a través de 500 años, denunciaron la negligencia de las autoridades, y la prepotencia de los grandes, y la avaricia de los terratenientes que se dicen propietarios de una tierra que es de los indígenas. Levantaron su voz fmne y clara contra la explotación de. comerciantes, transportistas y "patrones" y expusieron sus reclamos por la falta de atención de las instituciones públicas y la elevación de las tasas de interés del Banco Nacional de Fomento. Colombia Veinte indígenas fueron asesinados el lunes 16 de diciembre a las 8:30p.m. durante una reunión de trabajo en Caloto, Colombia. La masacre ocurrió cuando un grupo de 70 miembros de la comunidad estaban en una reunión de rutina para planear el horario del siguiente día de trabajo, en el predio "El NILO", resguardo de Huellas Municipio de Caloto. Dos civiles gritaron a los indígenas de tirarse al suelo antes de ser asesinados. La mayor parte de la gente salió corriendo (huyendo), pero aquellos que se quedaron atrás (20 en total) fueron asesinados a balazos y luego mutilados con un hacha La cifra total de muertos fue de 20, 11 hombres, 5 mujeres y 4 niños. Los testigos creen que los asesinatos fueron patrocinados por los terratenientes, quieries el 7 de diciembre habían enviado el abogado Gilberto Márquez a declarar abiertamente una guerra a la comunidad de El NILO. El Predio "El NILO" había sido recuperado por la comunidad indígena hace ya cuatro años. Desde el pasado julio se dieron a conocer por medio de denuncias dirigidas a la procuraduría regional, a la alcaldía municipal de Caloto, a las entidades regionales y en general a la opinión pública, una serie de amenazas, intimidaciones, y hechos violentos perpetrados contra la comunidad indígena. :-r TE S El siguiente informe proviene de: Consejo Regionallndfgena del Cauca- CRIC, Calle la, 4-50-AA. 516,Popayan, Cauca, Colombia 10 El día de la gran concentración se cerró con intervenciones de varios dirigentes de las federaciones de Achupallas, IncaAtahualpa, General Rurniñahui y Atamzich, afmnando su determinación de caminar unidos, luchar y triunfar con una política propia: "Nosotros somos trabajadores autónomos de la tierra. Con los productos del campo mantenemos al pueblo. Pedimos a los trabajadores del campo y la ciudad que se unan a nuestros justos reclamos". "Como organizaciones, seguimos los trámites correspondientes en esta dura lucha por la tierra", dijo otro dirigente. Y añadió: "A pesar de nuestra actuación correcta en los tramites legales, las autoridades no nos escuchan, no nos atienden. Siempre están al lado de los ricos. Nosotros estamos siempre dispuestos a negociar la adquisición de las tierras. No pedimos tierras gratis. El problema grande está en que los hacendados exageran de manera bárbara sus precios. Por tierras secas, estériles, improductivas piden un millón de sucres la hectárea. Eso es injusto. Cuando hacemos nuestro reclamo y nuestro trámite legal, los jueces, como es de costumbre en la mayoría de los casos, se inclinan al lado de la injusticia y la opresión. Y sostienen precios inhumanos. Y persiguen a los dirigentes. Entonces, ¿qué nos queda? Nada más que unimos. Ser firmes y luchar contra los abusos, contra las injusticias. Y defender nuestros derechos. Y a eso hemos venido hoy. No hemos venido a desfilar por el 'Día de la Raza'. Estamos aquí en esta gran concentración, para decir que protestamos por las celebraciones que se planean por la primera invasión a nuestra tierra Estamos aquí para decir a nivel nacional e internacional que unidos y fmnes defenderemos nuestros derechos arrebatados hace 500 años. Pero existimos todavía. Aquí estamos presentes. Queremos que el mundo entero nos contemple.

The Inter-Ethnic Association for the Development of the Peruvian Amazon (AIDESEP) held its Thirteenth Assembly in September, 1988, and called for changes in Peruvian government policy to include Indian participation in designing Amazon development policies. Among the themes discussed were those of land, natural resources and ecology, production and commercialization, social services, and organization. Consensus emerged on several key points: •"to demand changes in the government's economic policies for the Amazon, so that development benefits our comm~nities, and not the bosses and business interests" -to develop an urgent program for nutrition and medicine, with the funding for this project controlled by Indian representatives in order to avoid corruption; •to develop a national plan for land titling for Indian communities, with AIDESEP coordinating the self-demarcation of Indian lands. •that international funds from development agencies be prioritized to "recognize, title, and increase the size of" Indian lands, "because we are the ancestral owners and the best caretakers of the Amazon''. Representatives of the 19 regional organiza-tions attending the meeting in Villa la Paz, Chosica elected a new Board, consisting of : President, Miqueas Mishari, Ashaninka Vice-President, Roman Shajiam Sakejat, Aguaruna-Huambisa Vocals, Eli Sanchez Rodriguez, Shipibo and Raul Casanto, Shingari Treasurer, Oswaldo Manihuari Muray~ Cocama; and Secretary, Santos Adan Atsua, Aguaruna.

Among the most serious · violations of the human rights of Indian people in Peru is the enslavement of the Ashaninka people in the Ucayali, Tambo, and Urubamba River regions. At the recent Congress of the Regional Indian Organization of Atalaya (OIRA), delegates called for immediate action on the part of the Peruvian authorities to stop these violations. Delegates of the community of Diobamba stated that 'Beman Cagna, owner of the Fundo Nueva Luz has been exploiting more than 50 Ashaninka families for more than 30 years through slavery and hard labor without payment, and with threats of putting people in the private jail he has built. Cagna has about 60 men working in the extraction oflumber in the Tahuania Creek, forcing them to work from 6am to 6pm.". Florinda Arenas Campos denounced the patron Victor Merino for raping her 15-year old daughter in fron of her. Later, she said, Merino took the young woman to the Fundo Salvaje on the Ucayali River. In spite of Florinda's denunciations, no action has been taken by the authorities. She revealed that Merino has 20 Indian people working in his house as slaves. There may be thousands of Indian people in the Atalaya region who are being physically mistreated or held in slavery, whose lands have been stolen,. Some who protested have been murdered. According to OIRA, this is in clear violation of the Law of Native Communities and related government regulations. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

All Mapuche demands for the coming democracy in Chile shall be presented through the Assembly of Civil Organizations, the nationwide coalition of non-governmental organizations working for a democratic Chile. 2. The formation of a tripartite commission to formulate a document to unite the Mapuche people into one organization that carries forward their struggles and goals. The groups also agreed to the following proposals to the Assembly of Civil Organizations: 1. The immediate repeal of Laws 2568 and 2750, which eliminate communal land holdings of Indian people, and a return to Law 17,729, which supported the gains in landholding made before the military coup of 1973. 2. The reinstatement of all lands taken from Indian communities under Law 2568. 3. The reestablishment of the Indian Institute under Indian control. 4. The establishment of a new constitution giving rights of self-determination to Mapuche people. Legislation to conserve Mapuche land and natural resources.

Assault On Huilliche Described Carlos Orlando Lincomfm is a member of the Butahuillimapu, the central council which represents 137 organized communities of Huilliche people between Valdivia and Chiloe in southern Chile, and cacique (chief) of the province. In an article in Fortin Mapocho dated June 9, 1986, he states, "After the coup [in 1973] they destroyed the Indian communal laws. They divided our land, trying to do away with our organizations. They told us we would each be landowners. But individualism is alien to the Huilliches." Carlos says that Achala Island, which once belonged to Juan Bautista Inaicheo, another cacique and a relative of Carlos, now belongs to a hotel owner from Quell6n. "Nobody knows how he got a title of ownership." He adds, "The beaches that once were ours have been turned over to individuals. We (l.ren't allowed to gather shellfish or raise fish in the carrols." Carlos also talked about the company which is building roads in the area. They take down the Huilliches' fences and the animals roam away. Then the police come and give the Huilliches tickets for not keeping their animals fenced in. "One day I complained to the engineer. He told me he had expropriation orders. But later I found out that this wasn't true." For the Huilliches, the destruction of fences is a part of life. "I don't think that any future government will return our lands. The current policies are stacked against us. We had an opportunity with the Allende government, but then the coup came and nothing was left." Vol. 2, no. 4. Summer, 1986.

Como resultado de su exoneración de la justicia, se les permitió crecer a tal punto que comenzaron a cuestionar la validez de las estructuras de poder tradicional. Este conflicto produjo una serie de ataques contra la clase dominante en Colombia, incluyendo el asesinato, en setiembre pasado, del candidato a la presidencia, L. C. Galán. Poco tiempo después de este asesinato el gobierno detuvo a 10,000 personas y 'descubrió' el paradero de varias sedes del narcotráfico y en una semana fueron confiscados cientos de avionetas, automóviles, armas, propiedades y millones en efectivo. El clima de turbulencia social tradicional en Colombia se ha empeorado por la gran ola de violencia desatada por los narcotraficantes. Las últimas ediciones de los periódicos de los indios de Colombia 'Unidad Indígena' y'Alvaro Ulcue' informan que líderes y organizadores indígenas continúan siendo asesinados sistemáticamente. De hecho en cada edición de estos periódicos, desde hace 15 años atras, se viene informando sobre asesinatos de activistas indígenas. A pesar de ésto, ellos continúan fortaleciéndose y luchando por su vida, su tierra, autonomía y cultura. Ataque a la Oficina Central de CRIC identificación, luego la policía procedió a inspecionar las oficinas, supuestamente en busca de pistas acerca del atentado. Luego de producido el incidente, el Gobernador del Departamento del Cauca, anunció que otorgaría una restitución económica por los daños sufridos. Unos cuantos días después, cuando los miembros del CRIC solicitaron autorización para realizar una manifestación de protesta por el atentado, ésta les fue denegada y la oferta de ayuda económica fue retirada. El atentado y el consiguiente conflicto con el gobernador demuestra una vez más la vigencia de lo que la población indígena de Colombia llama "una tradición de violencia política y una opresión económica, social y cultural, generada por la clase dominante de Colombia, en contra del sector más pobre de la sociedad." Líderes Indígenas Asesinados SAIIC expresa sus condolencias a la familia de María Juana Camayo miembro del Cosejo de la Ciudad, del pueblo de Totoro, y Berta Cecilia de Jesús miembro del Comité Ejecutivo de la Federación de Campesinos del Cauca. Ellas fueron asesinadas y las evidencias no dejan dudas de que fueron ejecutadas por los escuadrones de la muerte de los narcoparamilitares.

Barber Conable President of the World Bank Dear Sir, We are from the Ava-Guarani community in the Ocoi native area, in the municipality of Sao Miguel do Iguacu, state of Parana, BraziL We want to tell you about our suffering and our struggle. We used to live in an area of about 3,750 acres, .bounded on the west by the Parana. River, on the east by the Santa Helena/Sa11ia Terezinha road, on the north by the Ocoi River, and on the south by the Jacutinga River. Our area was all forest. In the Ocoi-Jacutinga area we were more than 100 families numbering oyer 500 people, since the families were very large. Our la11d w~s going to be flooded by the Itaipu dam. Then the Itaipu people told FUNAI [Brazil's.bureau of Indian affairs] that there wereindiap~ in the area that was to be flooded. FliNAic~ent an anthropologist, but he said that th~re were no Indians in the area, only mesti{ds'.[people of mixed blood] and Paraguayans. This was not true because we were certainly there.. . · Theyniade various offers of land to us. The first was 70 acres. The second proposal was 420 acres and the third was 560 acres. We did not accept any of these and we also refused the fourth and last offer, which was 625 acres. The Itaipu people gave us a deed for 625 acres, although on the map they made on July 31, .1982, only 575 acres are shown. We discovered this map two months ago. We did not agree to the 625 acres, but then the Itaipu people began to pressure us and frighten us. They gave us three days to leave. We did not want. to leave our land of 3, 750 acres for an area of 625 acres. · . Then the Itaipu reservoir began to fill up and there was nothing we could do but leave. We arrived:cmthis land in 1982, after a difficult struggle to obtain outrights. Now we are 35 families ¢()~~}sting of 14 7 people. We have never forgotten our. Jan<:l and we are always .· .. · · making clairris to the Itaipu people. Our ne\y)and is slowly being washed away. The strong winds are dJ:·iving the water from the new lake against the land and eroding it from below, and the trees are falling because their roots are being undermined. When we arrived in this new area, it was already being invaded by neighboring settlers. The settlers did not respect the Indians. They came in with their machines, tore down the forest and the survey markers, and took away everything that the Itaipu people had put here. The settlers said they did this because<the Itaipu people had not compensatedthem. We are peaceful Indians who don't want to fight with our neighbors. Along the edge of the Itaipu lake there is a lot of rotting wood which is infested with animals and insects, including mosquitos. We are not u~ed to living on the edge of a lake. In summertime the lake becomes very warm and bot}l. a&ults and children in the Ocoi native area have caught malaria because of the lake. At the beginning of May, 27 adults and 16 children between the ages of.nine months and 12 years old had malaria. We are not used to fakingwater from the lake. We are only used to taking water from the rivers that the Creator. put there for us to use. In this land there are now no pure rivers and our water is full of malaria and insects. All the water along the edge of the lake is full of Page6 Vol. 3, no. 2.Winter, 1987. �---------------------- poison because the settlers washed a tank of insecticide in the lake. When it rains the poison that the settlers use on their plantations passes across our land and goes into the lake, and this causes a lot of illness. We can't get away from the edge of the Itaipu lake because our land is very narrow. Next to our land are 420 acres that Itaipu owns. We want Itaipu to compensate us for the rest of the land they stole from us. We had about 3, 7 50 acres of land, with forest, fish, and game, instead of 575 acres with poison and malaria. God put us in the world to live in peace as brothers. The whites want to kill the Indians rather than be brothers with them, but we want to live in brotherhood with everyone. Now we have nothing and there are hardly any Indians left because in many parts "Are you aware you are an obstacle to progress?" of Brazil white men and foreigners have killed Indians with bombs and machine guns and have poisoned Indian areas. Can it be that you are not aware of this crime that must be resolved? You loaned money to the Itaipu people so that they could hurt us and the poor whites in the same situation as we are. Itaipu has done very great damage here, but you loaned money for this, and to FUNAI so that it could pay people to shoot the Indians, because we have enormous rights. Signed by the chief of the Ava-Guarani community, followed by the signatures and fingerprints of 58 others. Yanomami Land Claims Recognized f The Yanomami Indian people of northern Brazil have received official recognition of their claims to land through a presidential decree which establishes the Y anomami Indian Park near Brazil's border with Venezuela. The Yanomami, who number 10,000 to 12,000 people, are the largest Indian nation in Brazil still maintaining a traditional way of life. The decree was announced in the midst of controversy over a proposal by the Brazilian military to occupy the remote northern frontier of the Amazon region with military bases and air strips. According to the Union of Indian Nations (UNI), the project would directly affect 50,000 Indian people from 51 groups now living in the rainforest, including the Yanomami, Tukano, Baniwa, Uanano, and others. Reports indicate that the decree establishing the Yanomami Indian Park includes provisions for a strip 60 kilometers wide along the Venezuelan border which would be designated an "Area of Environmental Protection" and used to accommodate the military plan. Critics of the plan, which the military describes as "a joint project of economic development and national security," argue that its primary motivation is exploitation of the tin, aluminum, uranium, and other mineral resources thought to be buried beneath the dense Amazonian rainforests.

Aleman's administration has been unwilling to continue discussions regarding the management of natural resources and the rights of Indigenous communities in the coastal region of Nicaragua. It was the previous administration of Dona Violeta Chamorro that granted a land concession to lumber dealers which affected the Sumo's territory In March of 1996 the government of Dona Violeta Chamorro promised a concession to the timber company SOLCARSA, a subsidiary of the Korean company Kum Kyung, which granted the company a 30year contract to explore and exploit the 63,000 hectares of tropical rain forest in the territory of the Sumo community of Awastingni. This concession was made without consulting the Sumo community. For the Sumos, this concession signifies a grave threat to the security and survival of the 364 families who live in this region and have traditionally fished, hunted, cultivated and buried their dead on these lands. International pressure from financial institutions impelled the government of Violeta Chamorro to start privatizing state industries and to undertake development projects on a grand scale in order to attract foreign investment. The government alleged that, according to the Civil Code, the lands were not titled to private individuals but belonged to the government and could therefore be given in concessions. With this justification the government handed over great tracts of national land to transnational corporations like SOLCA~SA. This policy contraflllll"'"""'!ll'-,... diets the Law of Autonomy of the Atlantic Coast as well as the measures concerning traditional lands which were won in 1985. In September 1996, the Sumos presented a petition to the court of appeals in Managua against the Ministry of Natural Resources (MARENA) in an attempt to THAT, halt the concession. When their ACCORDING TO THE appeal was rejectCIVIL CODE, THE ed, the community took their NOT LANDS case to the TITLED TO Supreme Court. It in turn disINDIVIDUALS carded their TO THE case, claiming that the appeal was submitted 30 days after the BE GIVEN IN signing of the concession- in CONCESSIONS." other words, they acted too late. The Sumos considers these actions by the government to be in violation of international norms, the Constitution of the republic and the statute of the Autonomous government of the Atlantic Coast region. They have filed a petition of protest before the Inter American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and the Organization of American States (OAS). These organizations accused the Nicaraguan government of not complying with its obligation to guarantee the demarcation of the communal lands of Awastingni and of the other Indigenous communities of the Atlantic Coast. Particularly frustrating is the fact that the national government continues to make consequential decisions regarding the national resources of the Atlantic Coast region in complete disregard of the statutes of the Autonomous Government of the Atlantic Coast, which has been awaiting ratification in the national congress since 1990. As a result of the meetings with the lACHR and the OAS, delegates from the Nicaraguan government and representatives from the Sumo and Miskitu communities formed a task force under the Dona Violeta administration to further study the issue. However, under the new administration of Dr. Arnoldo Aleman, new conflicts are surfacing. Delegates of the new government are accusing Sumo leaders of being separatists. It is evident that the new government has little desire to continue with the task force discussions. Meanwhile the Sumos continue to suffer from the repercussions of the mining exploitation project that operated on their lands from 1930 through the 1980s. They bitterly recount their personal experiences of the destruction of their environment, their rainforests and their entire way of life. They are demanding that this time their rights as an autonomous community be respected. For many years the rivers in their territory have been severely contaminated. The consequences of this contamination are evident: high infant mortality rates, chronic diarrhea, open sores on their skin and a host of other illnesses and infections. The Sumos demand respect for their community and improvements in their roads, their schools, their public health facilities and the care of their fragile forests. One of their highest priorities is ensuring the reforestation of their land. For the Sumos, the only alternative for the survival of their communities is the demarcation of their communal lands. In this way they can legally keep out forces like the Korean company Kum Kyung which continue to seek access to their lands and resources. ~ --~·--- 34 Abya Yala News � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Estos desechos han afectado a los residentes de Presidente Figueredo y a los habitantes delaReserva Waimiri-Atroari. El gobierno y las autoridades locales no han tomado nigún tipo de acción al respecto y la población local no ha sido aún informada sobre el contenido y peligro de estos desperdicios. Desde mediados de los ochenta, rumores acerca de la presencia de desechos radioactivos han circulado enPitinga. Estos se han reafirmado con la aparición, en la misma época, de síntomas en la población tales como pérdida de los dientes, debilidad, inexplicables enfermedades respiratorias, caída del cabello y leucemia. Aunque la Compañía Tabocca, otra firma que trabaja en la región, ha verificado la presencia de material radioactiva desde finales de la década de los ochenta en el área, esta compañía ha estado siempre protegida por los gobiernos federales, estatales y locales. Los residentes de Presidente Figueredo requieren del apoyo internacional para que el gobierno brasilero ponga freno a la devastación causada por éstas y otras compañías mineras en la región.

Bolivia es un país t:rilingue (Quechua, Aymara, Español), y tiene además decenas de grupos linguísticosmenores que continuan excluidos de la única forma reconocida de participar politicamente en ese país. Los "sindicatos campesinos" promovidos por el nacionalismo recalcitrante de los años 50 y 60, han claudicado. Varias comunidades indígenas los estan transformando en organismos de poder que responden a las necesidades de las mismas comunidades, antes que al esquema patrónpeón con que los sindicatos en el pasado fueron desvirtuados de su tarea de responder a la comunidad.

Esta es la primera vez que losAymaras proclaman abiertamente la reconstitución de sus formas tradicionales de organización tras alhaberre-establecido la autoridad delMallku y la Mama Taqlla. También estas autoridades tradicionales hacen un llamado en su lengua Aymara para que los Aymaras dejen de ser "anuqaras, "llunkus" y "sallkas", es decir aduladores de políticos que no responden a sus necesidades. Estos mismos representantes en su reunión de cuatrocientos cincuenta delegados decidieron romper relaciones con partidos políticos urbanos que solo utilizan a los Aymara en tiempos de elecciones. Los líderes tradicionales han llamado para reinstaurar el uso del Aymara así como también la práctica de las tradiciones que la comunidad crea funcionales a los tiempos. Este tipo de medida ratifica la debilidad del estado boliviano, y restaura el poder autosuficiente de la misma comunidad Indígena. Este es un interesante antecedente que habla de la auto-valorización de la comunidad y de su capacidad de autoregularse y auto-controlarse. 25 1 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
