However, the group was resolved to do its best within the time constraints. The discussion began with an introduction of the members of the working group. The principles of the Oilwatch International were explained. It is a south-south network struggling against reckless oil exploration and production in the third world. The network does not take money from oil companies. Instead, its European branch does fund raising for southern non-governmental organisations (NGOs) involved in the activity. Other aspects of the work in Europe consist of lobbying and information dissemination. The general secretariat of the network is situated in Ecuador. After the round of introduction, some of the problems of oil exploration in the areas represented by the indigenous participants were discussed. It was generally agreed that indigenous peoples in different countries face different situations with different problems and solutions. Therefore it is difficult to find globally applicable solutions that fit all. However, it was noted that conflicts occur everywhere and affect all the peoples.

    Extractions: Project Cooperation Project Examples Global thinking - active solidarity in Ecuador The first topographical map has been drawn up: on a scale of 1:1,500, it shows the cadastral plan of the land situated at the confluence of the Rio Pindo Grande and the Rio Puyo at the eastern foot of the Ecuadorian Andes. Here, on a mountain spur above these two rainforest rivers close to the town of Puyo, extending over 33.5 hectares, is the seat of CONFENIAE, the Confederation of the indigenous peoples of the Ecuadorian Amazon basin, which represents nine indigenous peoples (a total of around 150,000 people). The map and the notarial authentications signify that this area has been recognized as the property of CONFENIAE, a small but significant step in the effort to protect the rainforest in Ecuador. The road to reach this point was a long one: in early 2001, after lengthy discussions and negotiations, the organization Action Solidarité Tiers Monde based in Luxembourg signed a contract with CONFENIAE to secure their land rights. This took place in close consultation with the association VAMOS, which coordinates Climate Alliance activities in the Münsterland region of North-Rhine/Westphalia. The peoples of the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest lay claim to approximately 50,000 square kilometres as indigenous territory; only just under half of this has been recognized and legalized by the government. The greatest threat to their territory is posed by the global demand (in other words, ours too) for timber, minerals and, increasingly, oil. As a result of this demand, a third of the rainforest has been destroyed in only one generation. As is the case with indigenous communities worldwide, securing traditional community land rights is their main demand. This gives indigenous village communities a legal means to prove their ownership of the land and mount resistance to the destruction of their homelands.

Deep down, government resistance to recognising the rights of indigenous peoples and to clearing the way for their development arises from racism and xenophobia, sentiments that are not wiped away by naming a world day in their honour, Menchº said in an interview with IPS. The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, proclaimed by the United Nations, is a time for reflection, rather than celebration, said the Guatemalan Indian leader, who was awarded the Nobel Peace prize in 1993. In some countries in the Americas, the day was commemorated Wednesday by cultural and academic events. But among the continent's indigenous peoples, the occasion went largely unnoticed.

    Extractions: Pachakutik, a new alliance of indigenous people with the urban and rural poor, is now part of the Government in Ecuador. Luis Angel Saavedra explains the background and the dilemmas an increasingly prominent indigenous movement now faces. ON 10 August 1979, after 10 years of military dictatorship, Jaime Rold6s was sworn in as Ecuador's elected President. He made his first speech to the National Congress in Kichwa, the main indigenous language. Politicians and landowners never forgave him, despite the use of indigenous icons such as Ruminahui, who led the fiercest resistance against the Spanish conquest for patriotic purposes. Rold6s died in suspicious circumstances an air crash in May 1981. In 1982 his successor, Oswaldo Hurtado, wore the presidential sash with words written in Shuar, another indigenous language, when he gave his end-of-year report to Congress and faced a political trial for doing so.

North America By Mario Gonzalez QUITO, Feb 25 (IPS) - An agreement between Ecuador's Achuar indigenous people and an Argentine oil firm has established the precedent that companies interested in operating in the country's Amazon region are to negotiate directly with indigenous groups living there. But the Achuar decided to apply a peculiar form of pressure against the company, kidnapping last week five experts of the U.S. firm Walsh, contracted by the San Jorge General Fuel Company (CGC) of Argentina to carry out studies on the environmental impact in the stage of seismic prospecting. The group is demanding a ransom - which they term an ''indemnisation'' - for the experts' release. ''We cannot talk about a kidnapping,'' said Marco Hinojosa, general commandant of the Ecuadorian police, who has offered to mediate. ''It is more like an illegal retention.'' The indigenous group sees the move as an act of ''justice,'' because the experts had entered their territory without permission, through the use of subterfuge. ''They told us they were tourists who wanted to carry out a study to keep the oil companies from entering our territory,'' said Santiago Kawarim, president of the Interprovincial Federation of the Achuar Nationality of Ecuador.

North America By Kintto Lucas QUITO, Sep 14 (IPS) - Ecuador's indigenous movement is protesting a Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) ruling that rejected the signatures collected in an attempt to call a plebiscite against privatisations and the leasing of the Manta military base to the United States. Indigenous people and small farmers set up roadblocks Thursday in the Andean mountain provinces of Azuay, Cañar, Loja, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo. The protests were called by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE), the National Coordinator of Peasant Farmers, and the Coordinator of Social Movements, which delivered more than one million signatures to the TSE in August. Ecuador's indigenous people who comprise an estimated 3.5 million of a total population of 11.5 million are well- organised and wield significant influence in the country. Last January, nationwide protests organised by indigenous and other social organisations and a group of armed forces officers led to the collapse of then-president Jamil Mahuad, who was replaced by President Gustavo Noboa. With a vote of six to one, the election authority rejected the petition that a plebiscite be held on the grounds of supposed irregularities and forged signatures.

In a letter delivered to Occidental's Quito office by a delegation of fifty indigenous rights and environmental activists, CONAIE promised nonviolent direct actions against the company's facilities in Ecuador if Occidental does not abandon its proposal to drill on the land of the U'wa people of northeastern Colombia. After delivering their demands to Occidental, the demonstratorsled by Blanca Chancoso of CONAIE and including representatives of the international Oilwatch networkpresented a letter from the Confederation to the Colombian Embassy calling for the suspension of Occidental's drilling plans and the release of protesters detained over the weekend. Today's protests, which also included a demonstration at the Colombian Embassy in Quito, were prompted by the Colombian government's latest round of violence against peaceful U'wa protesters. On Saturday, some 300 anti-riot police and soldiers participated in a surprise attack against 200 U'wa blockading a road in northeastern Colombia. The police and soldiers removed the protesters with tear gas and physical blows. U'wa spokespeople report that twenty-eight people were injured, with some requiring medical attention. At least one U'wa man was treated for bullet wounds. On Sunday, another protest was attacked and as many as 70 protesters have been detained. The attacks came just days after the US Congress approved over $1 billion in aid to Colombia's military.

In a letter delivered to Occidental's Quito office by a delegation of fifty indigenous rights and environmental activists, CONAIE promised nonviolent direct actions against the company's facilities in Ecuador if Occidental Petroleum (Oxy) does not abandon its proposal to drill on the land of the U'wa peoples of northeastern Colombia. Their demands came on the heels of a weekend of attacks on 200 U'wa peacefully blockading a road near the town of Cubara, Colombia. On June 24, some 300 Colombian anti-riot police and soldiers made a surprise, early morning attack using tear gas and physical force to break up the blockade. A local physician reports that one victim suffered bullet wounds and spokespeople for the U'wa say that 28 people were injured and some required medical attention. Another violent surprise sweep was made the next day and police detained 30 people. The United States government recently approved a US$1.3 billion military aid package to Colombia. CONAIE has a long history of effective mobilizations against the oil industry and for political change in Ecuador. In January they organized uprisings that brought Ecuadorian life to a halt and toppled the government of President Jamil Mahuad. Earlier mobilizations have prompted a rewrite of the constitution that increased recognition of indigenous rights.
