email (or e-mail, which is shott for electronic mail) are
sent through computer networks . This con"espondence is
similar to the regular mail, faxes, and phone calls which
organil.ations such as SAIIC have t•·aditionally used to
communicate with board members, s upporters, and
other organizations. The advantage of email is that it
allows the sending of mail messages and computer files
vi.ttually instantaneously and often cheaper than other
means of communication.
A second broad category of infotmation on the
Internet is that which is disttibuted via listserv lists,
PeaceNet confer"ences, Usenet News Groups, etc. They
operate like newsletters to which people subscribe and
then t"eceive r"egUlar mailings. These subscli ption lists
ru"e useful for distributing news t-eports, wogent action
alerts, announcements and other infotmation which may
be of a dated natw·e. It is fot· these pw-poses that SAIIC
established the saiic.indio confet"ence on PeaceNet last
fall.
A final broad category ofinf01mation available on the
Internet is that found in electronic archives, including
ITP, Gophet; and World-Wide Web sites. Organizations
can use these archives to post an electronic copy of a
brochUl'e describing the group's work, manifestos and

Native American Radio
Talk Show Debuts

A me1ican Indian Radio on Satellite
r-1(AIROS), which started pt-og~-am­
ming for and about Native Ameri cans
last fall to Native-owned and public
radio statiorlS, began a daily Native
talk show on June 5.
George Tige1; Muscogee (Creek),
hosts Native America Calling, a live
call-in program that explor'eS the full
range of Native American life and culture, with topics such as hibal politics,
rut, music, humor, storytelling, gruning and religious freedom. The onehour daily progrrun can be heru-d on
tlibal.and public radio stations in the
United States each Monday through
F'liday at 1 p.m. Eastem time.
Native Ameri ca Calling is produced at public radio station KUNM
on the campus of the University of
New Mexico in Albuquerque. It is a
co-production of the Native American
Public Br-oadcasting Conso1
tium and
the Alaska Public Radio Network.

declarations, past issues of newsletters, and other information which may have on-going value for the organization, its suppo1
ters, and the public at large. For example,
SAIIC has placed a copy of its brochw-e on PeaceNet
where people desiring more information on the organization can access it via FTP, Gophe1; or the World-Wide
Web.
Often weak infrashu cture and the lack of basic services such as phone lines, pruticulru·ly in remote areas,
makes developing computer networks very difficult. In
Africa activists at-e beginning to hook up to low-earth
orbiting satellites in order to connect to computer network resources. For example, the NGO Volunteers in
Technical Assistance (VITA) has assisted organizations
in remote ru"eas ofTan7.ania wher-e there is no electl'icity
or phone service to communicate '~a email and the
Internet. F'l-om most anywhere in the world, a person
\vith the appropriate equipment can send and l"eceive
messages t\'~ce daily via a low orbit satellite. These lowearth orbiting sateUites have not been used extensively
in Mexico, Central and South Ametica. Using this technology, Indigenous people can create their own computer
networks in order to strengthen their otoganizations and
defend their way of life. 'flJ

                    <text>Ecuadorian Indigenous Nationalities to the nation and world:&#13;
&#13;
The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAlE) and the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of the Ecuadorian Amazon (CONFENIAE) met in an Encounter of Solidarity for Peace and Dignity in the city of Sucua, Ecuador, at the headquarters of the&#13;
Interprovincial Federation of Shuar-Achuar Centers (FICSHA), on February 21·22, 1995. After analyzing recent conflicts between Ecuador and Peru, we declare the following:&#13;
&#13;
In the countries of Latin America and around the world and, particularly among countries which are in conflict, we comprise a diversity of peoples and cultures which are historically located in our own territories.&#13;
The border conflicts that today lead to bloodshed in neighboring populations and destroy their harmony and lifestyles, are not in our interests. Rather, they have lead to a stalemate and a deepening poverty for the communities involved.&#13;
For these reasons, we Indigenous nationalities propose:&#13;
That Ecuador be constitutionally recognized as a pluri-national, multicultural, and plurilingual state, because the recognition of and respect for different peoples is not an obstacle to the unity of a diverse country, but rather a resource that will strengthen its cohesion.&#13;
In homage to the International Decade of Indigenous Peoples that the United Nations declared, we demand of International organizations and the guarantee nations of the Rio Protocol that Indigenous peoples in Ecuador and Peru be included in the peace negotiations as active participants in the search for a definitive solution to the conflict.&#13;
That the Ecuadorian State permanently suspend the colonization programs in the ancestral lands of the Indigenous nationalities of the Amazon Region.&#13;
The legalization of Indigenous territories in the border area and in the Amazon Region as a fundamental guarantee of the security and territorial integrity of the country.&#13;
That the National Parks, Protected Forests, and Forest Reserves be given to and administered directly by Indigenous organizations for the appropriate use and management of their natural resources,&#13;
That we be repaired for the socio-economic and environmental impacts caused by the war; a guarantee of the return of displaced peoples to their Indigenous communities; and the establishment of a fund for the relatives of civilians killed in the conflict.&#13;
That the budget for the Intercultural Bilingual Education program be augmented.&#13;
