We share the concerns of our Indigenous brothers and sisters, as expressed in the Congreso Nacional Indigena Declaration of Cancun. We join our voices to this CNI Declaration and its conclusions and recommendations. We wish to especially recognize and honor the sacrifice of our Korean brother, Mr. Lee-Kyung-Hae, made here in Cancun. His act of self-immolation was a dignified cultural expression profoundly reflecting the daily reality of the effects of Globalization and liberalized trade on peasants and Indigenous Peoples throughout the world. We have come to Cancun to address critical issues and negative impacts of the WTO Trade Negotiations on our families, communities and nations. With the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and with the continuing imposition of the structural adjustment policies of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, our situation, as Indigenous Peoples, has turned from bad to worse. Corporations are given more rights and privileges at the expense of our rights. Our right to self-determination, which is to freely determine our political status and pursue our own economic, social and cultural development, and our rights to our territories and resources, to our indigenous knowledge, cultures and identities are grossly violated. Some of the prime examples of the adverse impacts of the WTO Agreements on us are the following:

    Extractions: Boston, Massachusettes We like to think of the UN as a world government that is responsible for a kind of "universal sovereignty" laws that transcend the jurisdictions of individual States, or perhaps, law that cannot be entrusted to the single responsibility of individual States. In fact, if we examine the history of the UN, it is obvious that it was founded to establish and enforce a higher standard of ethical and moral behavior than individual States may practice. We all know that the establishment of the UN in San Francisco directly at the end of the Second World War, was in reaction to the horrors of the Nazi regime. The founding principle of the UN is that States do not have ultimate sovereignty with regard to the basic human rights and fundamental freedoms of their inhabitants; that this ultimate sovereignty is surrendered to the world body, and that although each State retains the responsibility to uphold and enforce human rights law, all States are subject to international oversight in this regard, and if necessary, international intervention. The speeches that were made at the founding of the UN note that the need for the world to act in solidarity against Hitler's Germany was this same principle of world solidarity that was applied to the apartheid regime in South Africa, resulting in the very positive developments that have occurred there recently. Of course there was no UN when Columbus landed in the so-called "New World," and from the look of things now, I would say that the Indians, the indigenous peoples of the Americans, could certainly have used a UN.

    Extractions: we have decided to write our thesis on Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala. More specifically, what we have decided to research is the perceptions of civil society organizations in Guatemala about the role of MINUGUA (United Nations mission of verification of Human Rights for Guatemala) regarding Indigenous Peoples specifically. The Saami Center has provided us with funding to do the field work in Guatemala, which took place between June and September, 2003. The experience has been a very fulfilling process of coming closer to a nation that has been trying to rebuild itself after 36 years of Civil War. During this conflict, Indigenous Peoples have suffered very much from direct and structural violence. Tens of thousands died, and even more were displaced from their lands and even from their country, forced to cross the border with Mexico in search of better living conditions. Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala make up a very high percentage of the population. There are claims as high as 70%, and as low as 30%, which means that there are between 3 and 7 million Indigenous Peoples in this Central American country. The number depends basically on who provides them, and how Indigenous Peoples are counted. Besides, there are more than 20 different ethnic groups among them, which provides a very wide variety of cultural diversity in a country.

Once again the geopolitical map of the Americas is about to be redrawn in ways that violate the titles, treaties and basic human rights of the hemisphere's First Nations. The FTAA continues the genocidal tradition which began with the founding of New Spain, New England, New France, New Netherlands etc as jurisdictions based on the absorption of Indian lands, usually without Indian consent. The USA's notorious violations of its 400 or so treaties with Indigenous peoples shows that the world's only remaining Superpower has no respect for the sanctity of treaties and for the requirements of living within the framework of international law. The USA added to its notorious reputation in 1871, when the American Congress passed a law excluding the American government from the international juridical principles as they then existed. From that time forward the USA has been an outlaw state in terms of its failure to respect even the limited requirements of international law mandating the purchase through treaty of Aboriginal title before non- Aboriginal settlement can proceed. From April 19-21, the Huron Reserve in Quebec City, the current capital of Wendake, will be the site of an alternative summit to highlight the many issues in and around the relationships of Indigenous peoples throughout the Americas to the proposed FTAA. The meetings will take place at Salle Kondiaronk on the Huron reserve at Loretteville. This community is situated about eight miles from downtown Quebec City.

    Extractions: Governments throughout the Americas are failing to fulfil their commitments to the region's indigenous peoples, according to a new report. The human rights group Amnesty International says America's native peoples are still one of the most marginalised and poorest communities in the world, discriminated against and often exposed to grave abuses of their fundamental human rights. Many people are forced to sleep on the streets Amnesty published the report to coincide with Columbus or Native American Day, when several countries celebrate the continent's multicultural heritage and mark the arrival in the Americas of Christopher Columbus in 1492. "Basic rights of indigenous communities, including the right to land and to cultural identity in the use of language, education and the administration of justice are systematically violated," the report says. "Racism and discrimination entrenched in most societies make indigenous people more vulnerable to human rights violations including torture and ill-treatment, 'disappearance' and unlawful killings," Amnesty argues.

The original text can be seen in its entirety on the website http://www.treatycouncil.org In preparation for the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the World Food Summit: 5 Years Later, and the World Summit on Sustainable Development, all to take place during 2002, representatives and traditional authorities of Indigenous Peoples, Nations and organizations from 28 countries, gathered from all regions of the world in a meeting in Panajachel, Sololá, at Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, on April 17-18, 2002. The hosts for the meeting were the Maya Kaqchikel People. Objectives were to learn of the hardships faced by Indigenous Peoples with respect to food, to define common elements and strengthen ties of cooperation, and to prepare a strategy to overcome hardships related to food security and food sovereignty. It was recognized that Indigenous Peoples, as "the poorest of the poor" in many countries, face a higher risk of suffering and consequences of food insecurity, and that the situation appears to be worsening in many places.

The Consultative Commission on Educational Reform (composed of representatives of the government, indigenous groups, universities, teachers, private schools, churches, and the private sector) has taken up this Design and is putting together a National Educational Plan for the next 20 years.

    Extractions: Colonial Pirate Christopher Columbus As we enter the new Millennium on October 9 or 12, 2000, the settler governments and peoples of North, Central and South America, who occupy the lands of various Indigenous nations of peoples, will again celebrate with holiday parades and festivals the invasion of our sacred lands by the colonial pirate Christopher Columbus. Columbus was the beginning of the American holocaust, ethnic cleansing characterized by murder, torture, raping, pillaging, robbery, slavery, kidnapping, and forced removals of Indian people from their homelands. To our Italian American friends, we say that to celebrate the legacy of this murderer is an affront to all Indian peoples, and others who truly understand this history. It would be the same as if German people would celebrate and glorify Adolf Hitler and the rise of fascism, and the Nazi holocaust by holding parades through the Jewish communities of America and throughout the world. We unequivocally support the right of Indian peoples of all the Americas along with friends and supporters to peacefully hold demonstrations and vigils, and exercise firm and resolute civil disobedience against any groups, religious, other organizations, and governments who continue to insist on celebrating and glorifying the murderous Columbus with parades, festivals, and celebrations.
