This is where the Aymara Indians of western Bolivia come to live and work when their farms can no longer feed them. For the past week, the hardscrabble order of El Alto gave way to a fervor of rebellion. Armed with the traditional weapons of the Aymara people - sticks, slingshots and muscle - its residents fought the army, built barricades and derailed a train, cutting off and shutting down the capital below them. "We are not going to allow ourselves to be pushed around anymore," said Bernaldo Castillo Mollo, a 37-year-old Aymara bricklayer and jack-of-all-trades who was shot in the foot during the protests. "So that our children have a better life than us, we are willing to die." The Indian-led movement that brought down Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada last week was only the most recent and startling expression of a growing militancy and political assertiveness among the native peoples of the Americas.

Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, State Sovereignty and the Convention on Biological Diversity February 2004 It is often stated that attention to and respect for indigenous peoples’ rights in connection with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is barred by the principle of state sovereignty. This assertion is incorrect in light of contemporary international law. State sovereignty does not and cannot preclude attention to and respect for indigenous peoples’ internationally guaranteed rights. As one scholar puts it, the principle of sovereignty over natural resources in international law “ includes the duty to respect the rights and interests of indigenous peoples and not to compromise the rights of future generations This also applies to implementation of the CBD. This legal briefing explains why. Sovereignty is not Absolute: Sovereignty is a principle of international law that in essence provides that a state may, subject to any limitations prescribed by international law, freely determine and apply laws and policies governing the people and territory under its jurisdiction. This principle is repeated in a modified form in Article 3 of the CBD, which, in pertinent part, reads that, “ States have, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, the sovereign right to exploit their own resources pursuant to their own environmental policies

Indigenous Assembly Condemns FTAA By Kintto Lucas Nov. 1, 2002 QUITO, Nov 1 (IPS) - The Continental Assembly of Peoples of the Americas, meeting Friday in the Ecuadorian capital, exhorted the region's governments to reject the Free Trade Area of the Americas, saying it will harm their cultures and the environment and deplete natural resources. In the final declaration of the indigenous meet, titled "Mandate from the Peoples", the delegates set new dates for "cultural-territorial resistance and affirmation" to fight the hemisphere-wide FTAA. The indigenous activists see the economic approach of the FTAA as the same that "was implemented in 1492, when the pillaging of our wealth and of our natural resources began," said Evo Morales, who was a presidential candidate in Bolivia's elections in June. "What they are seeking now is simply to deepen that model, which is based on free imports and is a policy aimed at concentrating wealth in the hands of a few," the Indian leader told IPS. The Continental Assembly of Peoples was held in Quito in parallel to the seventh FTAA ministerial-level conference, which drew foreign affairs and trade ministers from the 34 countries that are involved in creating the free trade zone all nations of North and South America and the Caribbean, except Cuba. The preparatory meetings that took place this week were surrounded by massive street protests, with violent police crackdowns dispersing some of the demonstrations.

The United Nations (UN) established the date in 1995 as part of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples (1994-2004). The goal is to strengthen steps taken towards resolving indigenous people's problems in areas such as human rights, environment, education and health. Peru is a multi-ethnic nation of 25 million - 49 percent are mestizo (mixed race), 14 percent are of European, African or Asian descent, and 36 percent are indigenous peoples who speak their native languages. But Peru's large indigenous population suffers a serious situation of social, economic and cultural marginalisation. The government abolished ''the legal mechanisms for the protection'' of indigenous people because it believes their problems ''are an issue that must be resolved within the liberal economic model,'' stated sociologist Flavio Solorzano, of Population and Development, a non-governmental organisation. The 1993 Constitution, which president Alberto Fujimori actively promoted, was a step backwards as far as indigenous rights are concerned, said jurists Ana Maria Tamayo of Peru and Roque Roldan from Colombia.

This historical event was a joint effort of the Saami Church Council and the Council on Ecumenical and International Relations in Church of Norway, together with the World Council of Churches. This is the first time the Saami People hosts an international indigenous church conference, and it is the first global consultation on land and spirituality ever held. We came to share our experiences related to land and spirituality and found strength through our interaction with each other. We are deeply conscious of our relationship with our Mother, the Earth, and the sacredness of our land and territories. We reaffirmed that our identity, cultures, languages, philosophy of life, and our spirituality are linked to the balanced relationship with all of creation. This relationship has ensured our continued existence in spite of oppression, exploitation and attempted assimilation by dominant socio-economic-politico-cultural and religious entities. We realize that our lives and spiritualities as distinct Peoples are faced with continuing and emerging threats. We are threatened by mining, wildlife conservation, logging, hydro-electric dams, militarization, eco-tourism and other projects. Equally threatened by these developments are our languages. Additionaly, the colonially drawn up political boundaries in the process of creating modern states has fragmented and interferred with the way of life of our peoples. Even our sacred sites have not been exempted from desecration. These threats are caused and reinforced by models of development imposed by the rich industrialized nations that seeks to exploit the natural resources without regard for future generations.
