    Extractions: The South American country of Argentina is home to a variety of musical styles and traditions. Many of them are the result of a blending of indigenous and immigrant cultures. Spanish colonists arrived in the 1500s, and another big wave of immigrants (mostly Spaniards and Italians, and some people from France, Germany, Great Britain, and Poland) came from the 1870s to the 1940s. Africans were brought to Argentina by Spanish colonists to work as slaves, but their numbers were greatly diminished during a yellow fever epidemic in 1871. Descendents of immigrants make up about 85% of the population of Argentina today. As a result, art music in Argentina has followed patterns similar to those in Europe since the 1500s. There are two main kinds of folk music heard almost everywhere in Argentina. One is music that comes from original indigenous cultures (there are many), and the other is creole music that has evolved from the culture of the Spanish colonists and their descendants, often mixing with local original traditions. European dances, popular songs, religious music, instruments, and festivals such as Carnival were brought to Argentina by immigrants, and have evolved into the creole music enjoyed today. Argentina is divided into different regions according to geography and climate, and each of these areas has cultural characteristics of its own. Patagonia, which is in the south, has not had as many visitors or colonists over the centuries as other areas (the weather can be daunting), so much of the folk music is still basically the same indigenous music that it has been for centuries. It is grounded in a spiritual tradition involving life events: birth, childhood, puberty, healing, marriage, hunting, herding flocks to grazing land, expressing gratitude, and death.

    Extractions: By Anne Deruyttere (4/97, IND97-101, E, S) see also Indigenous Peoples and Community Development This document focuses on the role of the Inter-American Development Bank in the socioeconomic development of the indigenous peoples of Latin America. Following a brief description of who the region's indigenous peoples are, and of the issues and concerns that face them, this paper presents the broad outlines of a more detailed strategy document that is currently being prepared. Some examples are provided of what the IDB has been doing to respond to its mandate to address the needs of indigenous peoples. It also mentions some of the major challenges that the Bank faces in order to be more effective in fostering the sustainable socioeconomic development of indigenous people. The Bank's thrust in this area emphasizes the positive relationship between economic development, participation and strengthening cultural heritage within a framework that recognizes the rights of indigenous peoples.

    Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Indigenous people is a term applied to what explorers and anthropologists, especially from Europe, used to call "primitive tribes". The latter term has fallen into disfavor as being demeaning and, according to anthropologists, inaccurate (see tribe cultural evolution ). Generally, the term refers to the people living in an area prior to European colonization, and to their descendants. It may also apply to people living in an area prior to the formation of a nation-state, but who do not belong to the dominant nation of a nation-state. By the 17th century, indigenous peoples were commonly labeled "uncivilized". Critics of civilization , such as J.J. Rousseau , considered them to be "noble savages"; proponents of civilization, like T. Hobbes , considered them merely savages. Such proponents of civilization believed themselves to have a duty to civilize and modernize them. After World War I, however, many Europeans came to doubt the value of civilization. At the same time, the anti-colonial movement, and advocates of indigenous peoples, argued that words such as " civilized " and "savage" were products and tools of colonialism , and argued that colonialism itself was savagely destructive.

    Extractions: A long with numerous nomadic tribespeople, two main indigenous groups existed in Argentina before the European arrival. In the northwest, near Bolivia and the Andes, was a people known as the Diaguita, while further south and to the east were the Guarani. Together the Diaguita and the Guarani constitute the origins of permanent agricultural civilization in Argentina, both developing the cultivation of maize. The Diaguita are also remembered for having successfully prevented the powerful Inca from expanding their empire into Argentina from what is now Bolivia. It was perhaps a legacy of this successful resistance that enabled the native peoples of Argentina to carry on a prolonged campaign against colonization and rule by the Spanish. The first Spaniard to land in Argentina, Juan de Solis, was killed in 1516, and several attempts to found Buenos Aires were stymied by the local inhabitants. Inland cities were more successful, and it wasn't until the late 16th century that Buenos Aires was securely established. Despite its military success, indigenous resistance was inexorably weakened by the introduction of diseases from Europe. Even after the native threat became minimal, however, Argentina was still mostly neglected by Spain, which was more interested in developing Lima and the riches of Peru. Buenos Aires was forbidden to trade with foreign countries, and the city became a smuggler's haunt. The restrictive trade

    Extractions: Argentine indigenous groups have periodically protested their condition, though rarely directly confronting authorities, or in significant numbers (PROT90X = 2, PROT98X = 3). Only one instance was found 1999-2000, when protesters in the city of General Mosconi burned City Hall and destroyed stores and a bank, after National Guardsmen attacked their barricade. There are 16 to 20 indigenous groups in Argentina which dwell primarily in the North of the country, bordering Bolivia and Paraguay. The larger groups are the Collas (35,000), the Chiriguanos (15,000), the Tobas (15,000), the Mapudungun (40,000) of the Chaco, the Guaranies (10,500) of Misiones, and the Wichi (25,000). Further South, about 36,000 Mapuches live in the province of Nequen and Tehuelches, bordering on Chile (GROUPCON = 3). There are also varying estimates of Quechua and Quichua speakers in Argentina depending upon seasonal employment. In the Tierra del Fuego, there are also some Selk'namgon people. Shamans are a very important part of indigenous religion throughout the country and traditional ceremonies and mysticism are practiced. There have been attempts to Christianize these populations and some missions for indigenous people exist, but their religious practices are a combination of traditional mystic ceremonies and Christian traditions.

Issue 2: strategies for choosing among data-collection methods B. Defining minority groups 1. Disability 2. Indigenous peoples ... C. Measuring minority groups In the last decades, which have been characterized by the globalization of the economy, new issues have appeared that are difficult to capture in a conventional census. Therefore, the census is an inadequate tool to fully capture and to monitor the extent of some changes. This produces a true “hiatus” between social and statistical realities that can be solved only by redefining the census and adopting improved strategies to accompany the census. The pressure from minorities (indigenous and disabled people) to know their total number, characteristics and location in the territory in order to defend their fundamental rights leads to increasing requirements for information from censuses. For this reason, during the planning of the next census of population (October 2001), the national office of statistics (INDEC) in Argentina has undertaken diverse activities together with public and private users that intend to expand information on the topics mentioned above. On the one hand, strategies to improve the validity of the results and to make some aspects of the “social” reality more statistically “real” are being developed. On the other hand, methodologies to understand phenomena of a very complex nature that have not been properly captured in censuses are being studied and tested. Special groups include the disabled population, indigenous peoples and the population of international migrants, particularly those from neighbouring countries.

    Extractions: Argentina, Buenos Aires, Castellano October 1, 1997 On June 18, 1997, the Kolla people of Northern Argentina publicly denounced that since December of 1996, the Seaboard Corporation has continued to violate their rights and threaten their very existence. The Kollas are a semi-nomadic group of indigenous people who have inhabited an area of the Salta province since long before Argentina was a country. They are one of the last surviving groups of indigenous people in Argentina. In 1986, after a long civil rights battle with the government, the Kollas finally won legal rights to their ancestral lands. In 1996, the U.S. based Seaboard Corporation bought the bankrupt company of San Martin of Tabacal in the Salta province. The Seaboard Corporation refused to recognize the land donation belonging to the Kollas. Instead they viewed it as property of its former owners, the Tabacal Corporation. Almost immediately, Tabacal, under the auspices of the Seaboard Corporation, began to exploit the land through logging. Extensive plans have also been made to exploit the area through tourism. The Seaboard Corporation is based in Shawnee Mission, Kansas. They are a multinational agribusiness spanning the globe, with several operations in the United States as well as in Ecuador, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Zaire, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, and Mozambique to name a few. They deal primarily with the production and transport of grains, poultry and pork. They operate under such well-known brand names as Holsum Bakers, Country Hearth and Olympic Kids.

    Extractions: Patagonia is contrary. Not only in a North American relativist sense of being that other , that opposite temperate zone in the western hemisphere, but contrary in the way that it defies any kind of definition or description or history. Patagonians always have a different story or point of view. And if you don't agree, you can fight about it. The native people had the distinction of fiercely kicking the Spanish colonists out of the area in the early 1600s. Europeans were too afraid to push back in until the nineteenth century. At about the same time that the U.S. was conducting its war against the Plains Indians, the governments of Chile and Argentina were wiping out the indigenous people of Patagonia. They almost succeeded, and today, unlike most of the rest of South America, the culture and peoples are almost completely derived from Europe: Spain and Italy especially, with smatterings of German, Welsh, and others. Like the American west and Alaska, which Patagonia is often compared to, the people who live in Patagonia are known for their independence of spirit, eccentricity even. Sorta

    Extractions: NEW YORK, 30 October (UN Headquarters) Although the new Permanent Forum for Indigenous Peoples was a welcome addition to the United Nations structure that would ensure that indigenous populations had their views heard within the system, certain commitments were needed to make it work effectively, several countries with significant indigenous populations told the Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) this morning. It was imperative for the financing of the Forum, some speakers said, to come from a stable revenue stream, like the United Nations' regular budget, to assure the smooth operation of the Forum. The debate came as the Committee wrapped up two days of discussion surrounding the programme of activities of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People. The Forum was created by a resolution of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in 2000. Its first session is scheduled to take place from 6 to 17 May 2002.

Posting to Internet mailing list NATIVE-L, available from listserv@tamvm1.tamu.edu; INTERNET. Newsgroups: soc.culture.mexican From: NativeNet%gnosys.svle.ma.us@tamvm1.tamu.edu Subject: UN:Who are indigenous peoples? Reply-To: Multiple recipients of list NATIVE-L Lines: 215 /* Written 5:49 pm Nov 24, 1992 by unic@peg.apc.org in igc:unic.news */ People everywhere, often without realizing it, have been influenced by the cultures and achievements of indigenous peoples through the foods on our tables, the words in our languages and the medicines we use daily for everything from headaches to heart disease. Many of the world's staple foods, such as peppers, potatoes, lentils, peas, sugar cane, garlic and tomatoes, were first cultivated by indigenous peoples. From the various indigenous languages of the Americas come familiar words like canoe, barbecue, squash, powwow and moccasin. An estimated 75 per cent of the world's plant-based pharmaceuticals, including aspirin, digitalis and quinine, have been derived from medicinal plants found in tribal areas. Indeed, the contribution of indigenous peoples to modern civilization is pervasive. Indigenous peoples are descendants of the original inhabitants of many lands, strikingly varied in their cultures, religions and patterns of social and economic organization. At least 5,000 indigenous groups can be distinguished by linguistic and cultural differences and by geographical separation. Some are hunters and gatherers, while others live in cities and participate fully in the culture of their national society. But all indigenous peoples retain a strong sense of their distinct cultures, the most salient feature of which is a special relationship to the land.
