Gucumatz, Cóndor, Padre Sol, Aguila, Anahuac, Madre Tierra INVOCANDO a nuestros antepasados que fm:jaronnuestra tradición de resistencia en defensa de la Madre Tierra REAFIRMANDO nuestros fundamentales e históricos derechos RECORDANDO a los miles de hermanos y hermanas indígenas que han sacrificado sus vidas en defensa de nuestra cultura milenaria RECONOCIENDO el esfuerzo de los Indígenas y de las organizaciones que han trabajado por la aceptación de los derechos de las Naciones Indígenas en el sistema de Derecho Internacional y en nombre de más de 300 millones de Indígenas que habitan la tierra, nosotros, los miembros de las Naciones Indígenas y organizaciones, reunidos en NuevaYork, del S all2 de diciembre de 1992, CONSIDERAMOS: l. Que todos los pueblos Indígenas tienen derecho a la autodeterminación como lo expone la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Indígenas. De acuerdo a esto, los Indígenas tenemos derecho a determinar todo lo concerniente a nuestros asuntos políticos, sociales, económicos, espirituales y culturales. 2. Que pese a las continuas declaraciones internacionales, es común a todos los pueblos Indígenas la lucha por la tierra, derecho persistentemente negado por los gobiernos y sociedades dominantes. 3. Que las políticas de desarrollo económico de los Estados Nacionales, están destruyendo los recursos naturales protegidos en los territorios Indígenas. Como consecuencia la supervivencia de las especies está siendo amenazada. Que la contribución de los Pueblos Indígenas a la diversidad social, intelectual y cultural del mundo y particularmente a la armonía con la tierra y el desarrollo ecológico, debe ser valorada y apoyada por los Estados Nacionales y las organizaciones internacionales. 5. Que los Derechos Humanos de los Pueblos Indígenas sobre su cultura, identidad, religión y lengua son inalienables. Estos derechos continúan siendo sacrificados en programas, políticasypresupuestos de los Estados Nacionales y de las organizaciones internacionales. 6. Que mientras la democracia es pregonada en las sociedades dominantes, esta significa para los Indígenas represión, genocidio y miseria, tanto en América como en el resto del mundo. Ejemplo de esto, es la ausencia de organizaciones indígenas en los procesos y diálogos de paz que están tomando lugar en Centro y Sur América cuando se sabe que los Indígenas están directamente afectados por la violencia. 7. Que los Gobiernos continuan profanando y apropiándose de los lugares y objetos sagrados de los Indígenas, privándolos de sus manifestaciones espirituales propias e irrespetando los valores sagrados de sus antepasados. PORWTANTO: El "Año Internacional de los Pueblos Indígenas del Mundo" 1993, no puede sersola..rnente una celebración protocolaria o una declaración 4.

Lo que incluye su recuperación y demarcación. Reconocer, respetar y documentar bajo la ley internacional todos los tratados, convenios, acuerdos y pactos formales establecidos con los Pueblos Indígenas del mundo. Además, la ONU y sus estados miembros deben dar atención prioritaria al estudio de los tratados Indígenas que fueron delegados a la Comisión de Derechos Humanos. Reconocer y respetar las formas de gobierno Indígena cuando tales prácticas estén de acuerdo con las leyes y costumbres tradicionales. Promover y fortalecer los derechos intelectuales y culturales propios de los Indígenas. compromiso que fue asumido con carácter prioritario por la Comisión de Derechos Humanos de la ONU. 5. 6. Consultar con las organizaciones y Naciones Indígenas lo concerniente a la ratificación del Convenio 169 de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo.

Doclamción #141 de los Pueblos Indígenas del Mundo (7 de jwrlo, 1992) Nosotros, los indígenas del mundo, manifestamos nuestra preocupación en este momento en que en la Conferencia de Rio se discute el destino de nuestras vidas, nuestro planeta, la Madre Tierra y el futuro de nuestros hijos y nietos. Manifestamos nuestra preocupación por que nuestras voces, las voces de los pueblos originarios no son escuchadas. En este momento los gobiernos de las naciones ricas rewrldas como potencias del Primer, Segundo y Tercer mundo, discuten el modo de ejercer un control aúnmayorsobrelasnacionesmáspobres.LasNaciones Indígenas son consideradas fundamentalmente Cuarto Mundo y por lo tanto excluidas de este evento. El objetivodelaCumbredelaTierraesplantearlanecesidad de desarrollar acuerdos y políticas intergubemamentales que establezcan una nueva relación de crecimiento sustentable de la comwrldad internacional con los recursos naturales de la tierra y las biósferas. No obstante, a lo largo de este proceso las naciones indígenas han sido totalmente excluidas de los procedimientosoficiales,exceptoencontadasocasiones en que su presencia no fue más que simbólica . Lasnaciooesindígenaseslán elaborando sus propios acuerdos. Nuestra exclusión es la expresión del racismo colonial en sus diversas formas institucionales. Los gobiernos estatales coloniales son quienes controlan las tierras indígenas, sus recursos naturales, territorios y poblaciones. Por medio de la exclusión de las naciones indígenas aseguran el control estatal de los denominados "asuntos internos". Nuestra destrucción es el resrutado .de sus políticas internas, programas y relaciones con los indígenas. Las injusticias que los gobiernos estatales y las sociedades enriquecidas han cometido contra los pueblos indígenas se reflejan en nuestras altísimas tasas de mortalidad infantil,nuestra corta esperanza de vida. nuestras precarias condiciones de salud, increibles índices de pobreza, etc. Los pueblos indígenas exigimos: •que se protejan nuestras tierras de la invasión y explotación foráneas; • que nuestro aire, agua y tierra permanezcan libres de toda contaminación • que se protejan nuestros derechos humanos y libertades; • que se garantice nuestro derecho al autogobierno y a la autodeterminación; • nuestra soberanía tradicional, ceremonial y espiritual; • nuestra soberanía sobre nuestro idioma y cwtura; • nuestro control soberano sobre todo futuro económico de nuestra tierra, recursos, territorio y pueblo; • la protección de todos nuestros lugares y objetos sagrados(...) •que se protejan nuestros bosques(...) los animales que cazamos, nuestros peces y nuestras montañas (...) • que los tratados, que nuestros pueblos han pagado con sus tierras y sus vidas, reciban el merecido reconocimiento de aquellas naciones que prosperaron gracias a ellos. NO OBSTAN1E, LO PRIMORDIAL es el deseo de nuestros pueblos indígenas queserespet.elaintegridad de nuestra soberanía. El Gran Espíritu ha dotado a las Naciones Indígenas con los mismos derechos que a otras sociedades miembros de la comunidad internacional. El trato que han recibido los pueblos indígenas no sólo se ha limitado a unaatención simbólica, sinoqueademásmuchoslíderesdelasNacionesUnidas han puesto en marcha, deliberadamente, influencias externas para dividimos. Pedimos respeto por nuestro planeta tierra, hogar de los espíritus poderosos que garantizan la protección de todas las personas, las plantas y animales de este planeta. Sabemos que en esta Cumbre de la Tierra se fumarán los principios fundamentales que gobernaran el destino de los días futuros (Agenda 21 ). Nosotros, los pueblos indígenas del.mundo, deseamos que este documento sea decisivo para garantizar el respeto a la vida de todo los pueblos de la selva · y los pueblos indígenas del mundo.

Que no estamos de acuerdo con la imagen de los pueblos indios presentada por los medios masivos de comunicación. Normalmente esta imagen no corresponde a la cotidianeidad del mundo indígena ya que está elaborada por comunicadores no indios, quienes desconocenlosproblemasespecíficos queenfrentannuestros pueblos así como por la visión etnocentrista con la que se interpreta la forma de actuar y pensar de las diferentes comunidades indias del Continente. Estas actilndes centralistas y la falta de :información adecuada, refuerzan los estereotipos que los medios de comunicación de masas proyectan a la sqciedad en general con respecto a la vida e historia de los pueblos indios. 2. Que la prensa india es el instrumento legítimo de los pueblos indios para transformar las imágenes tergiversadas de las cullnraS indígenas contemporáneas. 3. Que la prensa india es el medio para :informar, abiertamente y sin compromisos con instancias gubernamentales y privadas, sobre los despojos, injusticias y atropellos que sufre la población india del Continente. Además,· por este medio, las voces indias pueden alertar a la comunidad internacional sobre los daños irreversibles causados por las compañías transnacionales a los ecosistemas existentes en nuestros territorios; lo mismo, en cuanto a las violaciones a los derechos individuales y colectivos de los pueblos indios. 4. Que rechazamos el carácter festivo de la celebración del llamado "V Centenario del Descubrimiento de América" o "Encuentro de Dos Mundos", porque además. de recordar las masacres que se han cometido con nuestros ancestros, presupone reafirmar los lazos de dependencia económica. social y culinral de los pueblos indios y de las sociedades nacionales en general con respecto a la hegemonía de los países económica y militarmente poderosos. 5. Así mismo, rechazamos la utilización de fondos destinados a estas festividades porque sólo sirven como justificación de las políticas indigenistas y neocoloniales de los gobiernos de América y no contribuyen a solucionar de fondo los añejos problemas estructurales que viven los pueblos indios yotros sectores necesitados de los distintos países del Continente. 6. Que manifestamos nuestra más ante el Gobierno Méxicano por la obstaculización del de visas a delegados periodistas indios asistentes a este PrimerEncuentro Internacional de Prensa India Este hecho fue protagonizado por los consulados y embajadas de México en el Continente Americano, particularmente en las sedes diplomáticas de Centro y Sud América, así como por la falta de confianza de las autoridades migratorias en Ciudad de México con respecto a la legitimidad de los documentos portados por dichos delegados indios. Por todo lo anterior, ·DEMANDAMOS l. Que los medios masivos de comunicación concedan espacios para la libre expresión de la prensa india, en tanto vocera legítima de los pueblos indios. Estos espacios deberán ser coordinados por periodistas y comunicadores indios de organizaciones periodísticas indígenas. 2. Trato igualitario a periodistas indios y no indios durante el ejercicio de sus labores. 3. Libre tránsito a periodistas y comunicadores indios por los diferentes países de América y del Mundo durante el desempeño de sus labores de información. 4. Respeto a la integridad física de los y comunicadores indios en los diferentes países del continente. Dada en la Ciudad de México a los 30 días del mes de abril de 1992. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Indians present at the Earth Summet were forced to express their views in this alternative Global Forum, as they were not allowed to completely participate in the official conference. #141 Declaration offudigenous Peoplesofthe World (June 7, 1992) We the Indigenous Peoples of the world, manifest our concern at this moment, when people from the whole planet are gathered here in Rio to discuss the direction of our lives, our planet Mother Earth and the future of our children and grandchildren. We manifest our concern because our voices, the voices of traditional peoples, are not being heard. At this moment, the governments ofthe rich nations are discussing how to exert even more control over the less favored nations. The global community of colonial states has been meeting with each other as First, Second and Third World powers. All are recognized members of the United Natious. The Indigenous Nations are primarily considered Fourth World and are excluded. The intent of the Earth Summit is to address the necessity of developing intergovernmental agreements and policies that shall move the global community of states into a sustainableyield relationship with the natural earth's resources and biospheres. All states should bind themselves to these agreements to protect the natural environment. However, throughout this process, the Indigenous Nations have been totally excluded from the formal proceedings, except in very narrow occasions in which the appearances have been more window dressing than respect for the sovereignty of Indigenous Nations. Indigenous Nations are in agreement. Our exclusion is colonial racism in all its institutional forms. The "State" governments that are significant participants in the Earth Summit process are the most powerful colonial governments in possession of Indigenous Lands, natural resources, territories and populations. To exclude Indigenous Nations helps assure those States' control of what they mutually classify as "domestic affairs." Their domestic policies, programs and governmental relationships with Indigenous Peoples result in our destruction. Statistics of the highest infant mortality, shortest lifeexpectancy, poorest health, highest poverty and so on, are reflectionsofthe injustices againstindigenousPeoples by State governments and societies enriched by the illegal takings and thievery. 6 0 1 1 E E Indigenous Peoples demand: "' our territory and lands be protected from external invasion and exploitation; "'our air, water and lands must remain free from pollution, poison and other contaminants. "' our individual human rights and freedoms are protected; "' our rights to self-governance is guaranteed; "' our rights to self-determination protected; "' our traditional, ceremonial and spiritual sovereignty; "' our right to control and govern over all foreign persons that shall enter our territory; "' our sovereignty over our language and culture; "' our sovereign control over all economic development of our land, resources, territory and peoples; "' our protection of all our sacred sites and objects; "'the freedom from being downwind of environmentally damaging, or poisoning activities of foreign individuals or corporations that impact the quality of air, water and lands; * our forests be protected as we Indigenous Peoples have always protected our forests, theanimaiswehunt, our fish, our mountains and our P AJES (spiritual .leaders) who live in the sacred places amidst our forests. "' that treaties, paid for by our people in land and blood, be honored by those nations which have prospered by these agreements. HOWEVER, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, Indigenous Nations want the integrity of our sovereignty respected. The Great Spirit has endowed the Indigenous Nations with the same rights as other member societies of the global community. The world must hear us. Not only have Indigenous Peoples been treated in token ways, but deliberate external influences have operated to divide us form one another. This "divide and conquer" ploy has come form many United Nation leaders. We should like to tell you this moment that our Indigenous spiritual leaders are watching over and observing how your spirit moves. We ask respect for the depths of the earth, home of the fierce spirits which guarantee the protection of all the people and life forms of the planet. We know this Earth Summit will sign the Fundamental Principles governing the destiny for the future (Agenda 21). We, Indigenous Peoples of the world, desire that this document be decisive in respecting the life of all the forest and Indigenous Peoples of the world.

Brazil's Minister of justice, Nelson jobim has targeted 8 for alterations and possible reductions. The Indigenous areas slated 0 for alteration are: Kampa do Rio Envirn (Acre); Raposa/Serra do Sol, (Roraima): Sete Cerros, (Mato Grosso do Sui), Krikati (MaranhAo): Maxakali (Minas Gerais): Tapeba (Ceara); Apyterewa, and Bau (Para). There are now 90 days for FUNAl (the National Foundation for Indian Affairs) to study each of these individual ca5<'s and hand its recommendcuions to jobim who will n1ake the final decision. Decree 1775, wriuen by jobim, was signed into law by Brazilian PresidenL Fernando Henrique Cardoso on january 8. 1996. The Decree allows private interests and state and local gov· ernmcms to appeal the demarcation of those Indigenous reserves not alread)r demarcated. By the end of the April 8 contestation deadline, FUNAI had received over 500 appeals targeting 83 different Indian areas from miners. loggers, ranchers, and governrnent offi- cials. jobim will now have a chance to prove his good intentions when s.·\ying that Decree 1 775 was necessar)' to move on with the demarcation process.

Responsable poi- la demarcación de tierras indígenas, j el proyecto personal del Ministro d~. justicia, Nelson jobim, el Decreto 1'775 provee un período de 90 días para que los "estados y municipalidadtts que contienen áreas en demarcación¡'y otros interesados" puedan ejercer e~ "contraditorio," o contestar legalmente el proceso. Hay unanimidad por parte de las fuerzas indígenas y ONGs indigenistas para protestar contra el Decreto 1775. Después de la aprobación del Decreto 22/91, que de hecho permitió la demarcación de varias áreas indígenas, muchas naciones indígenas lucharon para demarcar sus tierras. Los Macuxi de Raposa/Serra do Sol, por ejemplo, armaron una campaña internacional gena basada en Brasilia, está activamente luchando contra el Decreto, y destaca que el15 de agosto, 1995, el Presidente Cardoso les aseguró que no tomaría una decisión sin consultar los detalles a las organizaciones indígenas. Aún después de la firma del Decreto 1775, el Ministro jobim dijo de las ONGs del Brasil que encabezan la lucha internacional contra el Decreto, "Esos grupos no están interesados en resolver la cuestión indígena. Están interesados en crear problemas y no podemos dialogar con los que causan problemas." (Folha de Sao Paulo, 6 de febrero, 1995). También, propone la revisión de 344· de las 554 áreas indígenas en el Brasil porque todavía no han sido registrado en el cartorio imobiliário oficial. Armados de tal apoyo legal, los oponentes a las tierras indígenas ya han iniciado una ola de invasiones para reclamar su parte en las áreas. Organizaciones indígenas y ONGs (Organizaciones no-Gubernamentales) en Brasil, en solidaridad con una correlación de fuerzas internacionales, están presionando para que el gobierno para proteger su territorio de mineros y otros colonos. Ahora, con el Decreto 1775, estas reivindicaciones parecen haber sido en vano. Las organizaciones indígenas destacan que uno de los principales problemas del Decreto 1775 es que fue diseñado en ausencia de un debate abierto con las organizaciones Indígenas. Muchos pueblos Indígenas y entidades indigenistas había reclamado reuniones para poder hablar de los impactos del decreto. CAPOIB, una pan-organización indí- Sin que sea obvio, el Decreto 1775 paraliza efectivamente la demarcación de tierras indígenas sometiendo el proceso a la interminable burocracia legal de contestaciones sobre tierras. La FUNAI (Fundación Nacional del Indio), que históricamente careció de antropólogos y abogados especializados en tierras indígenas, ahora será responsable del trabajo legal, geográfico, y etnográfico antes de demarcación o revisión alguna. FUNAI, sin embargo, no está equipada para procesar la amenazante avalancha L 1 1 16 brasileño revoque el decreto. ¿Por qué está equivocado el Decreto 1775? Noticias de Abya Ya la �BRASil de contestaciones de tierras indígenas. La CAPOIB señala que el Decreto creará una "industria de indemnizaciones," ya que provee la indemnización de individuos que sostienen haber perdido tierras por el proceso de demarcación, y que tienen títulos oficiales. Todas las solicitudes de indemnización correspondientes a áreas indígenas todavia no registradas en el cartorio oficial son válidas. La compañía de agro Colonizadora Terranorte Ltda. ya solicitó compensación por tierras que apartenecen a los Enawene-Nawe en el estado de Mato Grosso; una suma de 7.6 millones de reais (US$7.9 millones). Solo en el estado de Pará, la suma de todas las contestaciones en áreas indígenas alcanzaría US$1.4 mil millones. Según el Ministro de justicia, Nelson jobim, el Decreto está en acuerdo con la Constitución (sección 55 del artículo 5) porque garantiza a un tercero el derecho de contestar un proceso judicial tras el contraditorio, un "elemento básico de la democracia," afirma jobim. Argumenta que los juicios contra áreas indígenas amontonados en el STF (Corte Suprema Federal) ya no tendrán una base legal; sin el nuevo Decreto, dice jobim, todas las áreas demarcadas bajo Decreto 22/91 hubieran podido ser declaradas inconstitucionales. Para jobim, la imagen del gobierno brasileño mejorará porque arreglaron un "error" legal, poniendo fin así a los interminables procesos de demarcación. Sin embargo, uno de los argumentos claves en contra del Decreto-adoptado por muchos indigenistas en Brasil-es que justamente no está en acuerdo con la Constitución nacional. La Constitución del Brasil declara, en cuanto a tierras indígenas tradicionales, que es deber de la "Unión de demarcarlas, protegerlas, y asegurar el respeto por todos sus recursos." Un argumento, entonces, es que el nuevo Decreto impide la realización este deber básico. "Nos asusta ver que el gobierno intenta revitalizar, con el nuevo Decreto, títulos de tierras que la misma Constitución declara 'nulos' ya que fueron creados hace siglos cuando la Vol. 10 No. 1 El Decreto 1775 a última hora: Más de 500 áreas contestadas M ás de 531 territorios indígenas han sido contestadas como resultado del polémico Decreto 1775, firmado e institucionalizado por el Presidente Fernando Henrique Cardoso el pasado 8 de enero, 1996. El Decreto, que substituye el previo Decreto 22/91 con el fundamento de que era inconstitucional, amenaza severamente a los derechos indígenas en Brasil. Permite a intereses privados, y estados locales y regionales de protestar contra el proceso de demarcación de reservas indígenas. Hasta la fecha límite (el 8 de abril, 1996) establecida para quienes objetan las titulaciones indígenas (contestaciones), FUNAI (Fundación Nacional del Indio) recibió más de 500 contestaciones de mineros, hacendados, madereros, y oficiales gubernamentales, afectando 83 áreas indígenas diferentes. En Brasil, existen aproximadamente 150 mil indígenas de 215 naciones distintas, que hablan alrededor de 170 idiomas. Se ubican en 526 territorios a través de la nación, designando una área total de 77 millones de hectáreas, una superficie dos veces el tamaño de California. Existen también pruebas que unas 50 naciones, sin contacto con el mundo exterior, viven en las profundidades inmensas del bosque amazónico. La mayoría de estas tierras indígenas, cerca de 76 millones de hectáreas, se ubican en la Amazonía brasileña, lo que incluye los estados de Acre, Alnapá, Amazonas, Pará, Mato Grosso, Marañhao, Rondónia, Roraima, y Tocantins. Considerando que Brasil contiene cerca de 65% de la cuenca amazónica, y que de esto 76 millones hectáreas pertenecen a los indígenas, la demarcación de territorios indígenas es imperativo no solo para asegurar los derechos indígenas, también es una estrategia ambiental muy efectiva. Sin embargo, 51 millones de hectáreas permanecen sin títulos, y esperan ser demarcados, proceso que ahora peligra por el Decreto 1775. Aunque la figura inicial publicada por FUNAI fue de 1.020 contestaciones en contra de territorios indígenas, el número "oficial" final quedó en 531 . De los 83 territorios afectados, algunos no son aptos para una revisión puesto que sus procesos demarcatorios ya se habían completados al aprobar el Decreto 1775. Esto es el caso del territorio de los Yanomamis donde intereses mineros muy fuertes han apoyado una invasión prolongada, destruyendo y contaminando el bosque que necesitan para sobrevivir y causando epidemias de enfermedades y genocidio, como la masacre de 16 Yanomamis en 1995. Además de mineros, madereros, y hacendados, varios gobiernos regionales hicieron contestaciones. Los estados amazónicos de Rondónia y Pará contestaron todas las áreas indígenas comprendidas en su territorio con procesos demarcatorios en curso. El estado de Rondónia, que benefició de una donación de US$ 167 millones del Banco Mundial para zonificar y proteger tierras indígenas, está pidiendo la reducción de 4 de sus áreas.

Poco después de su aprobación, mandó cartas a varios gobernadores, principalmente en los estados amazónicos, enumerando para ellos áreas aptas para una revisión en sus respectivos estados. Por ejemplo, en una carta al gobernador del estado de Pará fechada 11 de enero, enumeró 14 áreas indígenas para ser revisadas, incluyendo dos que tienen una superficie total de solo 58 hectáreas. Reaccionan indígenas y ONGs Una poderosa fuerza articulada de pueblos indígenas y ONGs en Brasil, organizaciones de derechos humanos, ambientalistas, iglesia, e incluso algunos estados nacionales se formó en respuesta al cambio de política en cuanto a las tierras indígenas del Brasil. Varias estrategias para revocar el Decreto han sido empleadas, pero la mayor parte se concentra en presionar al estado brasileño con cartas, artículos de prensa, faxes, y otras formas de comunicación. CAPOIB, que representa más de 100 naciones indígenas en Brasil, escogió Henrique Cardoso adoptó deliberadamente una política de reducción de territorios indígenas." Las organizaciones indígenas también piden la cancelación de los fondos alemanes (US$ 22 millones) donados al Brasil después del Encuentro por la Tierra en Río dejaneiro en 1992 para la extensiones amazomcas y de otras regiones como lo demuestra el proyecto de Hidrovia (véase la página 28), y de progresivamente integrar la región entera en el sistema económico nacional.

Parte de estos fondos fueron destinados específicamente a la demarcación de áreas indígenas. Los pueblos indígenas destacan que el Decreto 1775 no cumple con los objetivos de la donación y temen que parte de los fondos alemanes podrían ser utilizados para revisar áreas existentes.
