COICA Coordinating Body for the Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin The Coordinating Body for the Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA) is a group that brings more than four hundred indigenous people together. It was founded in Lima Peru in 1982 in order for native people to be able to defend their rights, fight for the survival of their culture, and to exchange experiences in to find solutions to their various problems. Since 1992 COICA has made its headquarters in Quito, Ecuador. They have a Congress that meets every four years in order to make up policies and find new authorities. It is this group that comes up with official goals such as the desire to promote and develop the interaction between indigenous peoples and COICA members. They also want to be able to defend territorial restoration, indigenous peoples self-determination and the human rights of its members. An additional goal is to strengthen the unity for the region's indigenous peoples; and finally, to promote the cultural comeback and recuperation of the Amazon indigenous peoples. Today the group has accomplished such feats as allowing indigenous peoples to be educated in their native languages. They have also founded an Amazon Indigenous University. Both of these things are part of the push for recuperation and revalorization of traditional cultures.

URGENT APPEAL: ECUADORIAN INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL BOYCOTT OF TEXACO >From July 5-9, 1993, a series of factfinding visits and public forums were held in Ecuador to draw attention to the cumulative impacts of Texaco's twenty years of operations in the Ecuadorian Amazon. During Texaco Week, Indigenous peoples' organizations, including the coordination of Indian organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA), the national Indian organization (CONAIE) and regional organizations including CONFENIAE and FCUNAE, joined with environmental groups forming part of the Amazonia for Life Campaign in charging Texaco with contaminating the Ecuadorian rainforest, and with irresponsibility in not taking actions to clean up their mess. The coalition has called for an international boycott of Texaco products, and they have initiated a study of the socio-environmental impacts of Texaco's work. These measures, and the call for actions in the campaign to pressure Texaco, are considered urgent, since a report commissioned by Texaco in collaboration with the Ecuadorian government will be released in September. The report is expected to whitewash the issue of Texaco's pollution. The following is a summary of the facts surrounding the Texaco case, including a call to action as part of the international campaign to pressure Texaco:

About Us Amazon Update Resources Contact Us ... About Us Forum Amazon Forum VI The Amazon Alliance for Indigenous and Traditional Peoples of the Amazon Basin held its sixth Amazon Forum on May 8-10, 2003 in Washington, DC. The Amazon Forum, which takes place every two years, is a unique opportunity for Amazonian leaders and environmental and human rights organizations to strategize together about how to protect the rights of indigenous and traditional peoples and the biological diversity of the Amazon Basin. This year, the Forum brought together over 85 participants representing 20 indigenous and traditional people's organizations of the Amazon Basin and 45 environmental, human rights, and support organizations from North America, South America and Europe. Leaders from indigenous and traditional peoples organizations as well as representatives of non-profit organizations from throughout the Americas worked side-by-side with a sense of urgency and a spirit of cooperation to develop strategic and collaborative work plans for the following two years. The environmental and support organizations selected new Steering Council members. The Steering Council met both before and after the Forum. We would like to take this opportunity to recognize and welcome new Alliance members: the Applied Studies Collective for Social Development (CEADES, Bolivia) and Global Response (US).
