    Extractions: Washington, DC Re: Proposal for Consultation Dear President Iglesias: We are very pleased that you will soon begin consultations regarding the indigenous peoples’ policy profile and strategic framework. As indigenous leaders of the Americas we congratulate you for initiating policy consultations rather than limiting the discussion to a strategic framework as originally planned.  We wish you every success in this important endeavor. We would like to state at the outset, however, that the consultation plan should be developed in agreement with representative indigenous peoples. In that spirit, please accept the attached proposal for the consultation process. Based on careful analysis of past consultations and of the methodology you have proposed we suggest an alternative methodology. Although it might take longer than you originally proposed, we believe that if you carefully plan this process from the beginning with indigenous participation at all stages you will obtain the best results. We estimate fifteen months minimum for the entire process.

    Extractions: printer friendly version General aspects of indigenous peoples' perception of poverty Apart from providing country-specific information, the MRG consultation in Guatemala also confirmed that many indigenous peoples' experiences are similar. The same concerns are consistently raised by indigenous organizations in international processes, for example, concerning sustainable development. These issues to some extent constitute general aspects of indigenous peoples' perception of poverty in Latin America, and are discussed below: Governance and development Conflict, democracy, governance and indigenous rights Indigenous models of governance, justice and democracy were never taken into account in the construction of Latin American states, which are built on a model of citizenship that has until recently excluded indigenous peoples. All of the four countries discussed in this study have recent experiences of armed struggle, militarization or violence. In addition, the Contra War facilitated the distribution of drugs and alcohol. This had a negative impact as these communities tried to raise money to satisfy these new needs through diving for lobsters, via fisheries and the exploitation of natural resources, etc., setting aside the production of basic food items for consumption. The climate of war in Central America in the 1970s and 1980s also seriously raised poverty levels in the border areas of El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua.

    Extractions: CENTRAL AMERICA Among some other indigenous cultures of Central America though, everybody was their own healer and the institution of 'medicine man' or healer did not exist. Sometimes a person acquired special knowledge about a particular disease (usually through direct experience) and would be more than happy to help others with the same affliction. Certain types of illnesses believed to be caused by 'supernatural' forces demanded a more magical treatment for which specialists known as shamans were usually called in. The gathering of medicinal herbs, as well as the healing ceremonies themselves are usually accompanied by a more or less elaborate ritual. Copious amounts of Copal or Pine resin are burned as offerings to the Gods. Mayan healers place a great deal of importance on administering their herbs in doses that are based on magically important numbers such as 3, 9 or 13, often given in pairs to establish a balance of male and female energies. They also often classify herbs as either 'male' or 'female', though the corresponding parts of a given pair frequently belong to botanically quite unrelated families and the actual gender of the plants in question bears no relevance on this system of classification. Surprising though it may seem, enemas are also an Indian invention for administering herbal medicines. The Spaniards learned this method from the Aztecs, who used it not just for healing purposes, but also to administer powerful hallucinogenic drugs as part of their religious practices. Enemas have found their way into western herbal medicine and about 100 years ago were considered to be of foremost importance for 'inner cleanliness'. Though they have since fallen out of fashion, one should not underestimate their effectiveness and therapeutic value.

    Extractions: NATIONAL PROFILE OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF MEXICO INTRODUCTION 1. The discovery of the Americas in the sixteenth century revealed to the European invaders two great civilizations: the Inca in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Mesoamerican in the Northern Hemisphere. The latter was characterized, until colonization began, by all the elements commonly associated with "advanced civilizations." These included a great concentration of sedentary populations; sophisticated political organization of hierarchical states; intensive agriculture; monumental constructions including temples, and civil structures; a great tradition of sculpture and pictorial art; hieroglyphic writing; the use of sophisticated calendars, and; mathematical computation. It also included a variety of social classes, centralized religious systems with priestly castes. 2. To the north of this Mesoamerican civilization, was the zone of hunters and gatherers, known as arid-America. In this zone, with desert ecology, its inhabitants successfully adapted to the limited resource base and harsh environment through a primarily nomadic economy, with a low demographic density and limited sedentarized settlements. In contrast to the Mesoamerican civilizations, they had a relatively simple social and political structure; a low level of technological development and simple knowledge of architecture as well as relatively unsophisticated artistic, religious and intellectual expressions.
