Title A name given to the resource Vol. 4, No. 1 (12).pdf PDF Text Text It's important on the international level to have a permanent, strong coordination, because when the governments begin to work together on the level of the Amazon region, it's going to affect us all''. The main purpose of the Coordinadora is. to defend the economic, social, cultural, and land rights of the Indian peoples of Amazonia. In 1986, a delegation met with President Barber Conable of the World Bank in Washington, and discussed the impacts of World Bank lending policies on Indian people of the Amazon. At this year's meeting, representatives of each organization recounted the massacres and po~ti­ cal persecution taking place in their countnes, and problems in the areas of land, health, and education. There were also reports on small-scale, sustainable economic projects being developed by Indian communities. Five working commissions were formed. Among their resolutions were: to strengthen the mutual cooperation of the member organizations, including programs of bilingual education and the promotion of traditional medicine; to explore ways in which Indian organizations may communicate more effectively with remote communities in the Amazon as well as with Indian groups in other nations; to elaborate a proposal at an international level on the rights of Indian people to serve as a model for each country's laws; to search for indigenous models of ecodevelopment as an alternative to industrial development; to reject the militarization of Indian areas, whether in border areas or in the interior; to assist Indian groups in demarcating their own traditional lands; to demand royalties and indemnization from transnational and national companies that are already exploiting natural resources on Indian lands; and to earmark this money to create a fund to reforest damaged lands; to reject the entry of new companies; to form a team of Indian and non-Indian experts on Amazon ecology ~ orde~ to c?ml?ile information for use in defendmg therr terntones. The Coordinadora rejected unanimously the celebration of 500 Years of the Discovery of America to be held in 1992, and will be d~veloping its own alternative campaign. The 12th of October has been declared the "Day of Solidarity with Indian People." The Amazon Indians also stressed the importance of support from environmental organizations for the defense of Amazonia. The representatives elected a Council of Direc. tors for the period 1988-1990, comprised of: • Evaristo Nugkuag (AIDESEP, Peru), President (re-elected); • Cristobal Naikiai (CONFENIAE, Ecuador), Vice-President; • Josee Uranavi (CIDOB, Bolivia), Secretary; • George Pierre (TUNASARAPA, Surinam), Treasurer; • Javier Armato (ACIP~ Venezuela), Spokesperson.
