Reaching Indigenous Youth with Reproductive Health Information and Services February 1999 The terms "indigenous peoples," "indigenous ethnic minorities," "tribal groups," and "scheduled tribes," describe social groups with a social and cultural identity distinct from the dominant society that makes them vulnerable to being disadvantaged in the development process. World Bank, 19911 Why Focus on the Indigenous? Indigenous people are found throughout the world. The United Nations estimates that more than 300 million indigenous people live in more than 70 countries. Most indigenous groups share the demographic profile of developing countries where youth, defined as those aged 10 to 24 years, comprise the largest segment of the population. In addition, these groups tend to be poor, rural, and left out of the process of economic development. Although there are vast differences among indigenous peoples, all have a traditional culture that is distinct from the national culture of their country; some may identify with an ethnic group with ties to an historical homeland. What Are the Special Challenges in Working with Indigenous Youth?

42. Brazilian Rainforests - An Action Toolkit From EARTHACTION Today the forests of the brazilian Amazon, and the indigenous peoples who have livedthere for thousands of years, face a new threat one of the most serious http://www.earthaction.org/en/archive/96-02-forbra/letters.html

BRAZILIAN RAINFORESTS - The New Threat Sample letters you can write SAMPLE LETTER TO PRESIDENT CARDOSO Your Excellency, I am writing to express my concern about the demarcation of indigenous lands in Brazil, following your recent signing of Decree 1775. This new Decree, by allowing for challenges to demarcations, could represent the biggest single threat to Brazil's indigenous peoples, and their forest homes, for decades. Brazil's indigenous peoples are appealing for international help to protect their raditional lands. I urge you to immediately revoke Decree 1775, and to honor your constitutional commitment to demarcation. I know that you have publicly committed yourself to the demarcation process. I wish to express the strongest support for this commitment, and I very much hope that you will endeavor to complete the process by the end of your Presidential term in 1998. At the same time, I urge you to take whatever steps are necessary to protect all identified and demarcated indigenous lands from invaders, and to expel any loggers, miners or ranchers who are illegally occupying indigenous lands at the present time. By safeguarding the future of Brazil's indigenous people and their lands, you will be making a historic contribution to protecting cultural diversity, human rights and the natural environment, things which are of value not only to Brazil but to the whole orld. In doing so, you will have the support of concerned people everywhere.

43. Brazil - BRAZZIL - Brazilian Indians Ask For Help - May 2001 communities held demonstrations and drafted documents expressing their discontentover the health care model adopted for indigenous peoples in Brazil. http://www.brazzil.com/p10may01.htm

Brazzil May 2001 Indians Careless The Xerente Indians have already reported deficiencies in the provision of health care services to the Federal Prosecution Service, Funai and the National Health Foundation (Fundasa), but nothing has been done to resolve their concerns. Throughout the first three months of this year, indigenous communities held demonstrations and drafted documents expressing their discontent over the health care model adopted for indigenous peoples in Brazil. The facts reveal a growing dissatisfaction with the outsourced model implemented by the federal government. In January, the indigenous peoples from the states of Alagoas and Sergipe occupied the National Health Foundation building in Maceió, Alagoas, to protest against efforts being made by the state to privatize the system. They spent fifteen days camped in the building until they secured a decree from the Federal Justice system suspending the outsourcing initiative and forcing the Federal Government to continue to provide health care services. At the 3 rd National Indigenous Health Conference held on May 14-18 in Brasilia, the current health care model was assessed.

Certainly, in looking around or taking a drive through a * major city filled with millions of people, it is indeed hard to believe that them are human cultures in danger of extinction. However, as with endangered plants and animals, there are areas of the world that harbor aboriginal peoples who are in risk of losing centuries of evolved customs and even their ability to exist as a culture. After thousands of years of total isolation, these native bastions have managed to avoid the vagaries of the industrialized world. Nevertheless, this is rapidly changing as the plague of economic growth creeps into indigenous homelands and threatens their ability to support their human inhabitants. Deep within the Brazilian frontier, cattle ranchers, gold miners, and timber merchants wreak havoc on the forest and have pushed several native tribes to the brink of extinction. These tribes constitute some of the last intact aboriginal cultures left in the world. The primary reason for this phenomenon is the rapacious construction of roads built to accommodate economic exploitation of the rain forest. Once these roads are built, the trees cleared, and the soil excavated and paved over, what begins as a slow trickle soon turns into a steady stream of human traffic ready to begin its deadly conquest.

46. Policies To Protect Indigenous People In Brazil Land Rights and indigenous peoples. Cambridge, MA Cultural. Survival Inc. Ecologist,The. (1996, JanuaryFebruary). brazilian Decree Threatens Indian Lands. . http://lilt.ilstu.edu/psanders/litsearch/policies.htm

The Results of a Search of Scholarly Literature on Successful and Failed Policies Made To Protect Indigenous People in Brazil (Presented with permission by the student author in Paul Anderson's Latin America course in Spring 1999.) If you have not read the explanatory materials, this literature search is NOT a good place to start. Please go to the Literature Search Home Page This literature search received a grade in the middle "A" range. Many indigenous groups in Brazil have been experiencing a state of turmoil due to the many loggers, miners, settlers, and ranchers that have been invading their land. International environmental and indigenous rights organizations have over the last year played an important role in the defense of indigenous land rights in Brazil, by maintaining consistent pressure on the government of Brazil to honor its constitutional obligation to demarcate and defend indigenous territory (RAN, 1997). My objective in this literature search was to find all of the relevant sources on successful and failed policies towards indigenous peoples in Brazil and to evaluate how well the sources covered the topic. My search was conducted over a three to four month period, with over thirty hours spent searching for literature in the library. I believe that I have covered the topic fairly well accounting for perhaps 75% of all English speaking sources. I say this because I found many sources located at the University of Illinois at Chicago, but were unobtainable due to the time of the finding. There would not have been ample time to have ordered them through an inter-library loan. For future reference however, the University of Illinois at Chicago seemed to have extensive literature on the subject. Most of the sources found take the perspective of the indigenous people and show the government's responses along with their failures. For this literature search I found four major categories of sources that discuss policies to protect indigenous peoples of Brazil.

47. Indigenous People In The Brazilian Rainforest The brazilian rainforests not only provide a wealth of resources for biodiversity area necessary home land and resource for the indigenous peoples who live http://www.earlham.edu/~pols/globalprobs/deforest/earlsme.html

Indigenous People in the Brazilian Rainforest The Brazilian rainforests not only provide a wealth of resources for biodiversity among the animal kingdom, but they are a necessary home land and resource for the indigenous peoples who live there. Therefore, in the deforestation of these rainforests, there is more at stake than environmental issues. The ramped deforestation has brought to the surface a human rights element that can no longer be ignored. While Brazil suffers from steep population increase, economic decrease, and slightly unstable government, the rainforest and the native people are paying the price for the trying times. After several massacres carried out with impunity and the various unchecked invasion of lands, some representatives from Brazilian tribes, a presidential representative from Brazil, and enviromental experts met with the United States House of Representatives to investigate the problem. In his initial address, the chairperson of the meeting, Mr. Torrricelli, stated that ñ[the indigenous peopleÍs] survival and their capability to maintain their cultural integrity is intimately connected with their control of their natural resources.î After living off the land for generations, these tribes whose land has been reduced or downright taken from them are suffering greatly. Already, a tribe whose land was taken chose to committ suicide before they left their homes. Marta Guarani, the leader of the Guarani-Kaiwa community of Jaguapire, explained that their area had already been homolegated, and they were just waiting for full expulsion. But he says that before they leave the land, they, too, will commit suicide. The communities of Shaquada and Shaquadi have already been expelled, and are now starving without their forest land.

Lim Li Ching reports. Among the recommendations were the following. A sui generis legal system to protect indigenous knowledge, distinct from other laws protecting intellectual property rights, affirming collective ownership and rights and equitable benefit sharing and distribution from use of resources and knowledge. Participation of indigenous representatives in national and international decisions about biodiversity and traditional knowledge. Rejection of the imposed western science model, and recognition of traditional knowledge as science. Indigenous knowledge should be given equal status to western science. Policies and resources for protecting biological and social diversity in situ.

National Meeting of the Indigenous Peoples and Organisations of Brazil 25-30 April 2003 FINAL DOCUMENT We are profoundly concerned with the escalation in violence against our peoples which since the beginning of this year has resulted in the murder of seven Indians, as a result of the failure to guarantee our territories and as a result of prejudice. In the four months since the present government came to power, when hopes won out over fear, we are surprised that an indigenist policy has still not been defined and that the delays over the ratification of the Indigenous Territories continue. The National Security Council''s review of the demarcation process was flagrantly illegal. We state that the violence against our peoples is growing, owing to the government''s inability to guarantee our historical rights to the land which we have traditionally occupied. We do not accept the superimposition of Conservation Areas in indigenous lands, because they compromise our rights to the exclusive usufruct of ours land''s natural riches and create enormous difficulties for our communities. We hope that, after the long years of struggle, the government will finally guarantee public policies in the areas of education, health and sustainability which are specific and differentiated,permitting respect for ethnic and cultural diversity and the resources necessary for their implementation.

Brazil: Settlers Kidnap Missionaries and Attack Indigenous People Settlers have invaded a Catholic mission in an indigenous reserve in Roraima State, Brazil, in protest at government plans to guarantee the land to indigenous peoples. They held three missionaries hostage for three days, and reportedly subjected them to psychological torture and humiliation. Supporters of the settlers have threatened to kidnap and beat any other missionaries they see on the streets. The settlers, reportedly co-ordinated by local landowners, invaded the Surumu Catholic mission, in the Raposa Serra do Sol indigenous reserve, on 6 January 2004. Brother Joao Carlos Martinez from Spain, Father Cesar Avellaneda from Colombia and Brazilian Father Ronildo Franca were taken hostage. Settlers have also blocked roads to indigenous communities in the area, and violent protests are continuing in several towns. Federal Police have tried to control the violence, but apparently do not have sufficient forces in the area to protect the community of Raposa Serra do Sol against further attacks.

Volume 5, Number 5, March 31, 2000 project underground home INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF BRAZIL PLAN CONVERGENCE ON ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Nearly 2,000 indigenous peoples from all over Brazil are organizing a convergence on Santa Cruz da Cabralia in April 2000 to counter the governmentâs planned celebration of the "discovery" of Brazil. Caravans will leave from each part of the country and head toward Bahia on the east coast of Brazil where in 1549, Portuguese conquistador Pedro Alvar Cabral landed his ship in search of gold, slaves, and Christian converts. Indigenous March 2000 will culminate in the Conference of Indigenous Peoples and Organizations in Coroa Vermelha, Bahia, where proposals for "another 500 years" will be presented. Organizers say more than 70,000 non-Indian protesters, many from Brazilâs radical landless movement, will join in. The march symbolizes indigenous resistance and the struggle for the rights historically denied to them. Numerous committees have been formed across Brazil under the banner of "Brazil: 500 Years of Indigenous, Black and Popular Resistance," to mobilize the Brazilian public and reflect on the new forms of colonialism fed by the media. In Brazil alone, the estimated native population was 5,000,000, belonging to 1,000 tribes, before Cabral arrived. By 1560, 11 years after he landed on the shores of Bahia, 40,000 indigenous peoples were enslaved and working on plantations. Today, according to Survival, a UK-based human rights organization, there are only 330,000 native peoples divided into about 210 tribes, largely because of centuries of disease, slavery, violence, starvation and suicide.
