Along these lines, we have not only had a bearing on the restructuring of the national scene, but have also infuenced the formulation of political parties' programs, and national governments. On the other hand, efforts by indigenous peoples, along with the political projections of their organizations, have been fundamental factors in defining the diverse historical and cultural identities of the peoples comprising American society. Along the same lines, the establishment of a Plurinational State presupposes the recovery of our true historic and cultural roots, and of our identities as peoples with a history and a future. 1992 marks 500 years of the Spanish invasion. On this occasion, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAlE), representating the indigenous peoples, exercises its right to reflect and protest the official celebrations of national governments. We call on the various social sectors of our country to unite in one front and generate a mass movement in Ecuador and throughout the continent. The basic objective of this mobilization is to recover the dignity of our peoples and reject all forms of submission, colonial practices and neo-colonialism. The actions we have planned are part of a broad opposition movement, reaching both continental and international proportions. This movement was created in response to the 500 years since the 'discovery' of America celebrations, or so-called 'Meeting of Two Worlds.' This is the context from which CONAlE has organized a program of activities for the next four years." Letter of Solidarity from Nicaraguan Indian Leaders about the So-called "Discovery of America" The following is a letter SAIIC received from Kisan Par laPaz insummer, 1990. "Dear Compafieros and Compafieras, We want to express our solidarity with all Amerindian Peoples. This is a very special occassion to raise our Peoples' consciousness �about the SOOth anniversary of the invasion. Invasion is the only word that applies. The Atlantic coast of Nicaragua was exploited by the British, while the Spanish conquest took place on the Pacific coast. Of course we owe our People's exploitation by the British to the Spanish Crown. Today in many Indo-Afro-Latin-American countries, the heritage of Neo-Colonialism continues: governments continue denying or refusing to recognize our cultures. For this reason we stand in solidarity with all those who are against the misnamed 'Encounter of Two Worlds.' We are working on a Continental Conference to be held before 1992. For us, as People of the Caribbean, the mere word 'Indian' can be summed up as an ideological, political concept and a slogan of our struggle. We condemn attempts to limit Indian mobility within their territories, the destruction of our cultures, and the fact that our fate is determined in World Congresses. We especially condemn the horrible 12th of October, 1492. We propose to celebrate October 11 as the last day of freedom for the American Indian. October 12 could be called 'The American Tragedy.' We are assuming the responsibility of raising conscioussness among all Indian Peoples about the Counter-Celebration of the 500 year anniversary. We'll do outreach through radio programs, community visits, school conferences, etc. The 500 year anniversary brings us degradation, ethnocide and genocide. All one needs is to be a clear-minded Indian to see who divided us, who tore us to pieces and who submitted us to what is in their elite minds 'Third World' status." In Solidarity, Kisan por la Paz LPDC Responds to Call to Action The following is from a letter SAIIC received from Yvonne Bushyhead of the International Office of the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee (LPDC). "My concern is that for the past 500 years, Native people have battled a political ideology as a result of cultural genocide. Many Native people have suffered at the hands of the dominant society. Many more are imprisoned, as a result of being falsely accused and convicted, when in reality, their only defense is their concern for rights of their people and lands. As Native Americans, and more importantly, as human beings, we each have a responsibility to fight for justice for those victimized by a prejudicial system. There are none more victimized than those imprisoned for their political and cultural beliefs. Specifically, we are challenging you to address this issue of indigenous political prisoners in the [First Continental Meeting] in [June], 1990. Most specifically, we urge that an hour of time at this meeting be reserved to discuss the plight of America's political prisoner, Leonard Peltier.

The conquest of the Amazon today is very clear. This land is under assault in order to exploit its mineral resources, its reserves of valuable timber and its great hydro-electric potential. The Indigenous people of the Amazon are confronting this conquest, and this is 1989. The Yanomami, the most numerous of the Indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest, are facing the loss of their lands and are being killed because they are viewed as a barrier to the exploitation of natural resources in Brazil. Thus October 12, 1992 presents a great opportunity not to celebrate, nor to cry about our bad luck, but rather to reflect upon 500 years of the European invasion and to formulate alternatives for a better life, in harmony with Nature and with human dignity. Our peoples are developing forms of political, religious, cultural and economic interchange and interrelationship - a continental cultural identity; a civilization. Nevertheless, with the European invasion and subsequent process of colonization, we became isolated and out of communication, breaking a form of development we had attained. So, it is necessary to re-establish these lines of communication, to present an indigenous voice, not only against the celebration of the "SOOth Anniversary," but to face up to the innumerable common problems that we have and work for a worthy future for our people. Therefore, we invite all Indigenous peoples of our continent to reflect upon the real meaning of the "conquest" and to participate in the First Continental Meeting of Indigenous Peoples- 500 Years of Resistance" to be held at For further information about the conference, you can contact SAIIC or write to: CONAIE Los Granados 2553 Batan Quito, Ecuador A Historical Look at Native Resistance in South America The following is excerpted from a position paper written by CONAIE for their National Program: "On October 12, 1492 a group of adventurers backed by the Kings of Castille and Aragon, and lead by Christopher Columbus, landed on our continent. Their arrival inaugurated the so-called 'discoveries' of territories in America. As is well-known, the Spanish conquest originated out of an extremely high demand for precious metals. This demand was �generated by a crisis among feudal European regimes, particularly in Spain. The 'conquistadors' income generating plan was also fomented by a singular understanding and manner of practicing the Catholic faith. With respect to this perception of Catholicism, in 1606, Simon de Villalobos, a colonial authority, asserted, 'when we kill or wound, we must be careful to do so in defense of the faith of our father, Jesus Christ. In his name and defense we can win the heavens, employing_the spear and the knife.' oppression. The official religion served the function of appeasing the 'conquistadors' consciences while becoming a tool for controlling the indigenous people. This was the case, despite the fact that only 45 years after the 'discovery' of America, the Catholic Church recognized indigenous people as human beings. The true role of the Church during this period, however, was questioned by Bartolome de las Casas, precursor of the Church committed to the fate of the poor ...

All focused on the same objective how- �ever; the end of colonial rule. In this manner, the numerous peoples existing in the Americas at the time of its conquest were able to strengthen their commitment to unity while confronting the foreign 'conquistadors.' Within this ethnic and hierarchical order, the African peoples brought to the Americas during the slave trade, as well as certain sectors of the white/mestizo society, were included in the system of exploitation installed by the agrarian, neo-colonial regime. The fact that they are also victims of an exploitative system prompted many to join in the diverse forms of resistance initiated by the indigenous peoples. This understanding of the need for unity has brought about permanent conspiracies and uprisings against the colonial regimes, constituting the most definitive expression of the relative autonomy of the indigenous world with respect to colonial society.

The land holds a fundamental place in our daily life, in our sacred vision of the world and the heavens. Thus, the peoples who have inherited the traditions of the high, agrarian, Indoamerican civilizations of North, Central and South America, along with the various people with whom they coexist, and who coexist with them, are comitted to protecting and glorifying our long trajectory of resistance to regimes characterized by economic exploitation and political domination ... l \\ Due to the fact that Ecuadorian, and Latin American society in general, have promoted modernization and development processes, their colonial heritage has not been overcome. Indians, Blacks and Mestizos are still subjected to exploitation and oppression. Economic and social differences, as well as racial discrimination, continue to be the norm in some countries. In many cases these practices have reached ethnocidal and genocidal proportions. The concept of 'Indian,' originating during colonial times, characterizes the Indian as different and inferior to the white European. This concept has endured to date. The indigenist practices advocate for the 'redemption of the Indian' via his integration into the national society. This policy has failed to solve the fundamental problems confronting our peoples. Despite certain predictions to the effect that industrial society would necessarily lead to the extinction of the Indians, the indigenous peoples have risen again. We have become stronger in our struggle to recover what is legitimately ours and formulate an alternative political project aimed at building a new society. In this manner, indigenous nationalities have comprised the most important nucleus of the future society, as well as of a Plurinational State. The political proposal for a Plurinational State does not seek to build 'separate states' as insinuated by some sectors of society in the hopes of engendering fear within the population. To the contrary, the idea is to reflect the reality of the country in terms of cultural and national diversity, recognizing these differences and establishing social, political and economic equality ... From this perspective, we have moved forward in our organizational and political activities to such an extent that at present we �are one of the most representative organized social forces. Along these lines, we have not only had a bearing on the restructuring of the national scene, but have also infuenced the formulation of political parties' programs, and national governments. On the other hand, efforts by indigenous peoples, along with the political projections of their organizations, have been fundamental factors in defining the diverse historical and cultural identities of the peoples comprising American society. Along the same lines, the establishment of a Plurinational State presupposes the recovery of our true historic and cultural roots, and of our identities as peoples with a history and a future. 1992 marks 500 years of the Spanish invasion.

The meeting will take place in Quito, Ecuador at the end of June, 1990. The meeting is being organized by the Confederation of Indian Nations of Ecuador (CONAIE). The decision to hold this meeting was based on various discussions between Indian organizations throughout the I �continent which culminated with a preparatory meeting held last April in Quito between CONAIE, the National Organization of Indian People of Colombia CONIC), SAIIC, and other national and international support organizations. The broad objectives of the conference are: 1) to promote unity and active participation of Indigenous peoples and organizations in the 500 Years Campaign and to coordinate counter-commemorations; 2) to promote a broad, unified front of participation by other sectors of society, including those groups committed to human rights, justice, equality, and protection of the natural world, on a national and international level; 3) to re-establish inter-cultural relations between Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The first three days of the five-day Quito conference will be meetings between Indian peoples. Non-Indian people are invited to participate as observers for this period. The fourth day will be an open meeting with all the non-Indian organizations to discuss alliances and strategies, and on the fifth day there will be a press conference, a visit to local Indian communities, and in the late afternoon, a cultural exchange with Indian music. Following is a statement which was drawn up at the preparatory meeting in Quito, April 9th, 1989: A Call to Indigenous People: There is an urgent need to organize an indigenous response to the celebration of the so-called "Discovery of America," now officially called by some governments "the Encounter of Two Worlds." Spain, the Vatican, the United States and European and Latin American governments are preparing many pompous events to celebrate the "Conquest of America." From our Indigenous perspective, there was no "encounter." The contact between the Europeans and Indians did not permit equal conditions and opportunities. On the contrary, it was an armed invasion motivated by the quest for resources and by the crisis of feudal European regimes. The most evident consequences of these violent acts were genocide, the rape of our women, torture, political/ ideological and cultural submission and death through diseases brought to the continent. Our land and our resources were plundered. Military and religious power were the instruments of domination in the conquest. The conquest and the mentality of "Manifest Destiny" still prevails in modern society, in the operation of the oligarchy, in the abuses of the military, in the plundering of natural resources by multinational and national companies. These activities affect a large portion of our society, and in particular Indigenous people. We are still witnessing colonial aggression. �the end of June, 1990. The conquest of the Amazon today is very clear. This land is under assault in order to exploit its mineral resources, its reserves of valuable timber and its great hydro-electric potential. The Indigenous people of the Amazon are confronting this conquest, and this is 1989.

CRIC Headquarters Bombed The Headquarters of the Indian Regional Council of Cauca (CRIC) where the CRIC Newspaper is published, was bombed in September. Although there were 30 Indian people sleeping in the building at the time, nobody was hurt. After the attack, the Indian people in the building were detained, questioned, and put through a rigorous identification process. Then the police proceeded to raid the office, supposedly searching for clues about the bombing. Following the incident, the governor of the state of Cauca appeared and expressed solidarity with CRIC.

A few days later, however, when CRIC organizers went to his office to request a permit to hold a demonstration in protest of the attack, they were denied the permit and the offer of economic aid was withdrawn. The attack and the ensuing debacle with the governor is in keeping with what Indian people in Colombia call, "a tradition of political violence and economic, social, and cultural oppression, generated by the dominant class in Colombia against the poorest sector of society." Indian Leaders Murdered SAIIC expresses condolences to the families of two female Indian leaders, Maria Juana Camayo, City Council member of the town of Totaro, and Berta Cecilia de Jesus, member of the Executive Committee of the Peasant Federation of Cauca. They were both murdered and evidence leaves no doubt that they were executed by narco-paramilitary death squads. As usual in these types of crimes, the bombing and the deaths, no suspects were detained and no in-depth investigations were conducted. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

" War on Drugs takes Spotlight off Continuing Violence against Indian People The latest public announcements from the drug lords of Colombia are offers of financial support to help the government in their longstanding battles against "subversive" movements. This is neither new nor bizarre to people in Colombia. What is new and bizarre is that the government is publicly refusing such offers. Contrary to what is portrayed by the international media, the narco-trafficking issue is not the only, nor the main problem in Colombia. The latest wave of killings mark a turning point in Colombia's violent history. The killers hired by narco-traffickers have moved away from just murdering grassroots organizers and opposition members to targeting banks, financial institutions, newspapers, and a wide spectrum of government officials. The reason for this new onslaught is to pressure the government to stop complying with the extradition treaty made with the U.S. government and to force negotiations that will eventually allow narco-dealers to remain safely in Colombia. Narco-trafficking grew to such enormous magnitude in the last 15 years in Colombia because of the lack of response to the situation by the government. There are two reasons for this: 1) the tremendous economic gain for the country, as well as for corrupt officials and military personnel, and 2) because the drug lords have faithfully contributed towards the oppression of "subversive" elements, especially in the rural areas where coca is grown. A quick review of Colombian newspapers from the last ten years shows clearly that the Colombian army and drug lords were behind most of the killings of political members of opposition parties, workers union activists, Indian and peasant leaders, educators, independent journalists and judges. This �strategic cooperation between the narcotics dealers and the military, along with the tremendous volume of money the former have invested in the country, demonstrates the fact that the drug lords acted with total impunity regarding their violent criminal activities. As a result of their exoneration from justice, the narco-network was allowed to grow to such an extent that they began to dispute with the government power structures. This conflict led to a series of attacks on Colombia's ruling class, including the assasination in last September of the leading presidential candidate, L.C. Galan. It was shortly after this murder that the government detained 10,000 people and "discovered" the whereabouts of the drug king-pins, and within a week had confiscated hundreds of planes, cars, weapons, properties and millions in cash. The already turbulent social climate of Colombia has been compounded since by the extraordinary wave of violence of the narco-traffickers retaliation. The latest issues of the Colombian Indian newspapers, "Unidad Indigena" and "Alvaro Ulcue" report that the killing of Indian leaders and organizers continues uninterrupted. In fact, every issue of these periodicals in the last 15 years has reported the killings of Indian activists. Even so, their cry for life, land, autonomy and respect for their cultures continues to grow strong.

" War on Drugs takes Spotlight off Continuing Violence against Indian People The latest public announcements from the drug lords of Colombia are offers of financial support to help the government in their longstanding battles against "subversive" movements. This is neither new nor bizarre to people in Colombia. What is new and bizarre is that the government is publicly refusing such offers. Contrary to what is portrayed by the international media, the narco-trafficking issue is not the only, nor the main problem in Colombia. The latest wave of killings mark a turning point in Colombia's violent history. The killers hired by narco-traffickers have moved away from just murdering grassroots organizers and opposition members to targeting banks, financial institutions, newspapers, and a wide spectrum of government officials. The reason for this new onslaught is to pressure the government to stop complying with the extradition treaty made with the U.S. government and to force negotiations that will eventually allow narco-dealers to remain safely in Colombia. Narco-trafficking grew to such enormous magnitude in the last 15 years in Colombia because of the lack of response to the situation by the government. There are two reasons for this: 1) the tremendous economic gain for the country, as well as for corrupt officials and military personnel, and 2) because the drug lords have faithfully contributed towards the oppression of "subversive" elements, especially in the rural areas where coca is grown. A quick review of Colombian newspapers from the last ten years shows clearly that the Colombian army and drug lords were behind most of the killings of political members of opposition parties, workers union activists, Indian and peasant leaders, educators, independent journalists and judges.

The PTI presented their candidates for offices in all eight regions of Chile where the majority of people are Indigenous. The following is an excerpt from a letter SAIIC received from Cornelio Chipana Hererra. Indian People of Chile form their own Political Party The PTI- Practicing Unity in Diversity In the beginning of 1989, an organizational meeting with representatives from 28 Indian organizations across Chile was held. Aymara, Atacamena, Mapuche and Rapanui Indians were present. They decided to form their own political party, the Party of the Earth and Identity (PTI). The goals of the PTI are to achieve 1) representation as ethnic peoples in the Parliament, 2) constitutional recognition as peoples, 3) the official recognition of their languages, 4) bilingual and intercultural education, 5) the effective protection of their lands, waters and natural resources, and 6) the respect for and self-development of Indigenous peoples. The PTI defends the right of Indigenous communities to maintain their social, economic, and cultural organizations and their ancestral way of occupying the Earth. Elections were held in Chile on December 17, 1989, the first elections held since the US- '12 "We write to invoke the defense and dignity of the people. We are a people beaten down since the Spanish conquest when we were evicted from our best lands and a different system was imposed on us ... we were enslaved as laborers for the mines. We remained enslaved for 150 years. Since the War of the Pacific in 1879, we have been subjected to a process of Chileanization. This further undermined the basis of our society and translates today to underdevelopment or extreme poverty for our majority, our own self-hatred identity, the loss of our cultural models, and what is even more serious, the desire to integrate ourselves into the national majority. "We are rejected and discriminated against, leaving us suspended in a void as nonpersons; we are neither one, nor the other, because we have been denied the knowledge of our own history. In the last 15 years of authoritarian government, we have lived under the militarization of our zones; laws have been mandated whereby the government denies our legal existence, the free market is robbing us of our llamas and alpacas. Schools are being shut down in the rural zones because of the massive migration to the cities. The most serious and pressing problem is the usurpation of our water by the mining companies in our communities. If the phenomenon continues, our lands and communities will probably be abandoned. �"Our party [the PTI] is built around the ideals of harmonic development between humans, nature and technology, and most importantly we aim to put an end to the great injustices that the minorities in Chile have had to endure.

Brazilian Indian Organization Wins Human Rights Award In September, Ailton Krenak, National Coordinator of Brazil's Union of Indigenous Nations (UNI), came to Washington, DC to accept the Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award of the Institute for Policy Studies on behalf of UNI. Later, Krenak joined other Third World activists in New York to deliver petitions totalling three million signatures to the United Nations, in calling for an emergency special session of the General Assembly to debate ways to halt the destruction of the rainforest and to discuss means of sustainable use Va5, Nos2&3 under the guidance of forest peoples. Krenak said, "All that has been done in the name of development has been disastrous to the majority of the people- economically, socially, and spiritually. It is necessary to question this logic, mainly as it threatens parts of our planet that are irreplaceable, such as the Amazon forest ... For us Indian people, being included in this process is like allowing a needle and tube to suck our blood as the wealth of our land is ripped off...

After discovering that the thieves who were mestizos from a nearby town, were part of a gang responsible for robberies in many Salasaca houses, a faction of Salasacas killed them. 8 Salasacas have lost land, lives and property through the mestizo legal system; community self-defense and enforcement of their own laws have been their only defenses. UNIS (the Union of Indigenous Salasacas) is handling the case. The President of UNIS, Jose Maria Masaquiza took the position that the Salasacas are not morally bound to obey laws and a legal system in which they had no hand in making, in which they continue to be exploited. In the subsistence economy that is pervasive among the Salasacas, to steal the sheep, tools, hand-made clothing and seed corn from a family is to rob them of years of labor, and to condemn them to years of hunger.

Invasion of Yanomami Lands Provokes International Outcry Brazilian Indian leaders travelled to Roraima to observe the effects on the Yanomami people of an invasion of 40,000 gold miners. The commission was composed of Ail- �ton Krenak and Marcos Terena of the Union of Indigenous Nations (UNI). Kayapo leader Paiakan, Yanomami leader, Davi Kiriana, and Otoriguete Txcummarae denounced a process of "extermination" being carried out against the Yanomami. The Native leaders revealed that 15 Yanomami have died in recent weeks at the government health post in Boa Vista run by FUN AI, the national Indian foundation.

Those were the oil companies like Webster and Shell. We were concerned, and when we asked the authorities about the exploration on our land, they said that it will only be in a few areas, that we don't have to worry. But throughout the years, more companies came and they extended the area of oil exploration. There is a French company, CGG which is exploring everywhere. They are using powerful detonators and many of the animals have run away, scared. In many cases the animals left their eggs and babies without protection and they died. For example, the other day we found some dead baby parrots in a nest abandoned by the parents. We have a sacred lagoon where we used to go to have ceremonies. But now, with all the explosions on the edges, all of our sacred spirits have been frightened away. Also, most of the fish are dead. There aren't so many wild animals left, the rivers are contaminated, and we often see dead fish floating down the rivers. About two years ago, the oil companies threw about 50 boxes of a chemical we call 'Rojo' into the river. This killed all the fish for a long time. Most of the Indian people here in the Pastaza Province are members of OPIP, the Organization of Indigenous People of Pastaza. Together with other Indian federations in the Ecuadorian Amazon, we are also members of CONFENIAE. There is no way for us to protect our lands from these companies without our organizations. In the past, non-Indian people would say that to be an Indian was to be ignorant and uncivilized, but today they are realizing that the Indian values are valid; that we need to learn from each other.
