   http://saiic.nativeweb.org/ayn/crilo.html
   
   Extractions: In Costa Rica, there exists a long tradition of violating the rights of the Indigneous communities which continues to this day. Like many of its neighbors, the Costa Rican government has repeatedly failed to comply with its own national, as well as international, laws that are in force to protect and promote Indigenous cultures. This lack of political implementation has led to a rapid disintegration of Indigenous identity and could lead to the total disappearance of these cultures. Article 2 of the Indigenous Act says that the transfer of land from non-Indigenous to Indigenous people will be free of charge. CONAI has the obligation to buy back the land to later give it to the Indigenous communities. However, CONAI has never received the necessary funding to perform this fundamental task. As a consequence, very little land is in the hands of Indigenous people. The ratification in 1993, and subsequent implementation in April 1994, of ILO Convention 169 has given Indigenous communities in Costa Rica a new instrument with which to fight for their rights. It is difficult for the customs and customary laws of Indigenous peoples to be recognized as applicable within the implementation of national law. One only need look at the way that the Indigenous communities are forced to organize to be able to advocate their rights. For any Indigenous organization to be recognized by the government, it has to be formed in accordance with the governmental Communal Development Associations. The government has set up these Associations on every reservation. The rules of these Associations require the Indigenous peoples to organize themselves in a way that is foreign to them. Organizations that refuse to comply with these procedures and try to operate independently of the Associations are not recognized by the government.

CR Handbook : One Article PRE-COLUMBIAN ERA COLONIAL ERA The First Arrivals When Columbus anchored his storm-damaged vessel in the Bay of Cariari on his fourth voyage to the New World, he was welcomed and treated with great hospitality. The coastal Indians sent out two girls, "the one about eight, the other about 14 years of age," Columbus's son Ferdinand recorded. "The girls . . . always looked cheerful and modest. So the Admiral gave them good usage. . ." In his Lettera Rarissima to the Spanish king, Columbus gave a different tale of events: "As soon as I got there they sent right out two girls, all dressed up; the elder was hardly eleven, the other seven, both behaving with such lack of modesty as to be no better than whores. As soon as they arrived, I gave orders that they be presented with some of our trading truck and sent them directly ashore." In 1506, Ferdinand of Spain sent a governor, Diego de Nicuesa, to colonize the Atlantic coast of Veragua. He got off to a bad start by running aground off the coast of Panama and was forced to march north, enduring a welcome that was less hospitable than that of Columbus. Antagonized Indian bands used guerrilla tactics to slay the strangers and willingly burnt their own crops to deny them food. Nicuesa set the tone for future expeditions by foreshortening his own cultural lessons with the musket ball. Things seemed more promising when an expedition under Gil Gonzalez Davila set off from Panama in 1522 to settle the region. It was Davila's expedition, given quantities of gold, that nicknamed the land Costa Rica, the "Rich Coast."

   Extractions: This Workshop will combine both Timber Framing and Natural Enclosure Systems Our community building workshop program in Costa Rica over the past three years has been extremely productive and rewarding. We have solidified a solid core group of talented timber framers and created deep friendships with community members. We look forward to returning in 2004. The Timber Framing workshop in 2004 will again take place in the shadows of the majestic Monteverde Cloud Forest, in San Luis, Costa Rica. While the design of the project is still unfolding (as usual until the time comes), we will be working with the Coope de Santa Elena and the cooperative farming community of finca la bella. The coope is made of farmers from 7 surrounding communities. Their primary cash crop is coffee, which has taken a nose dive on the world market of late due to globalization, but hope is on the horizon. While not long ago, most of the coffee produced was exported, today nearly all of it is sold locally. The project is part of our ongoing Indigenous Peoples Community Building Initiative, which is intended to train indigenous community members building skills that will help to make them more self sufficient.

COSTA RICA: PEOPLE The 2002 census recorded a population of 3.85 million, more than half of whom live in the Central Valley. Fifty-one percent of the nation's population is classed as urban. The most attractive areas of settlement in the past 35 years have been on the Nicoya lowlands on the drier part of the Pacific coast, on the northern lowlands, and on the alluvial soils of the Valle de El General in the south. The border between Panama and Costa Rica is now quite densely settled, with colonists from Italy as well as the Meseta Central grafted onto the local population. Though comparatively wealthy compared to most Latin American countries, by developed-world standards most Costa Ricans are poor (the average income is about US$3000 per annum). Costa Rica's black population has consistently attained higher educational standards than the national average and many blacks are now found in leading professions throughout the nation. They have also managed to retain much of their traditional culture, including religious practices rooted in African belief about transcendence through spiritual possession, their rich cuisine, the rhythmic lilt of their slightly antiquated English, and the deeply syncopated funk of their music.

    Extractions: Rising up between the Atlantic and the Pacific as a land bridge between North and South America, Costa Rica lies in a region unique in the world: no other area is both between two oceans and between two continents. What makes such a geographic location special? For Costa Rica, it means a rich biological and cultural mix. In a corridor between two continents, the land is home to plants and animals from both North and South America as well as to species native to Costa Rica. Indigenous peoples, though small in number compared with neighbors to the north and south, were influenced by the advanced civilizations of both Mesoamerica and South America. The rugged terrain of this small Central American country, wedged between Nicaragua on the north and Panama on the south, springs surprises on those who come expecting tropical temperatures to be always balmy. Believe it or not, ice forms at certain times of the year at the highest elevations. Location The People Climate Protected Wilderness Areas What to Bring?

The Committee recommended that the government, inter alia consider whether fines for racial discrimination reflect the gravity of the acts committed; continue to pay due attention to the specific needs of indigenous peoples; undertake the necessary measures to protect indigenous lands from being invaded and to enable the restitution of those lands that have been occupied by non-indigenous persons;
