http://www.indianlaw.org/body_oas_participation.htm
Go to Press Releases Page Indigenous Representatives Gain Access To OAS Experts Meeting February 23, 1999 Indigenous representatives recently gained unprecedented access to an important meeting of the Organization of American States. Thirty indigenous leaders, lawyers and indigenous rights activists from North, Central and South America secured permission to participate in a meeting of the Committee on Political and Juridical Affairs of the OAS Permanent Council, February 10- 13, 1999. The meeting was initially called for governmental experts only, to review the draft American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples . Indigenous representatives successfully argued that indigenous leaders and indigenous experts also should be permitted to participate in this important human rights activity. This opening of the doors of the OAS was a breakthrough for indigenous peoples and also for civil society representatives from environmental, human rights, and development groups who too have been insisting that the OAS permit regular democratic participation by non-governmental organizations. A plan to establish an OAS civil society accreditation system modeled on the United Nation's non-governmental system is being considered at this time. The precedent just set by indigenous representatives should help advance that process. Regular participation by non-governmental organizations in OAS activities would serve to broaden access of civil society to the multilateral development banks and other international institutions as well, and would be a good example of how all national governments should relate to civil society at home.

VOICE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
Native People Address the United Nations
Edited by Alexander Ewen
Clear Light Publishers, 1994, 176 pages In their own way, each of the book's sections shed light on the global nature of the plight facing indigenous people: the disappearance of diversity and traditional ways of life, ecological degradation, repression of native rights movements, and the loss of vital knowledge about how to live in harmony with the environment. The statements made by the nineteen indigenous representatives describe these issues with examples drawn from their own cultures. Anderson Muutang Urud of the Kelabit tribe of Sarawak, Malaysia, points out that his people have lost their native forest lands to logging companies. "Our lives are threatened by company goons," he says. "Our women are being raped by loggers who invade our villages. While the companies get rich from our forests, we are condemned to live in poverty and eventual genocide." Davi Yanomami of the Yanomami tribe of the Amazon Valley describes the invasion of garimpeiros (gold miners) who not only ravage their lands but exploit his people and spread disease. Thomas Banyacya, a Native American Hopi elder, talks about the costs to his people of the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974 which mandated the removal of Navajos and Hopis from their native lands, ostensibly to resolve conflicting claims to land between the two groups, but largely as a result of pressure by mining and energy industries.

Native American
Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Native Americans (also American Indians Amerindians Amerinds , or Red Indians ) are indigenous peoples Indigenous people are:
  • People living in an area prior to colonization by a state
  • People living in an area within a nation-state, prior to the formation of a nation-state, but who do not identify with the dominant nation.
  • The descendants of either of the above
Indigenous people are sometimes referred to as aborigines or as autochthonous , a Greek term that means "sprung from the earth," Greek authors of the classical period referred to the indigenous people of Greece, who had lived there since before any of the waves of Hellenic migration, as "Pelasgians." In antiquity, the Greek term for all non-Greek speaking peoples was "barbarians".

The term also usually includes the Caribbean, the islands in and around the Caribbean Sea, and Greenland, though not Iceland, for cultural and historical reasons. The isthmus of Central America is usually considered geographically part of North America. The Americas are often also described collectively as the Western Hemisphere or the New World.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES PUT THEMSELVES ON THE MAP
Chapin, Mac (1994)
Grassroots Development Thirty years ago, eastern Panama was largely intact forestland inhabited by three indigenous groups - the Embera, the Wounaan, and the Kuna - and small colonies descended from escaped slaves. Today it has become a battleground on which the native inhabitants are fighting to stem the incursions of loggers, cattle ranchers, and landless colonists from the country's interior provinces. Since construction of the Bayano Hydroelectric Dam and extension of the Pan American Highway to the town of Yaviza in the mid-1970s, the area's lush forests have been rapidly dwindling, together with the subsistence base of local peoples. Now a new threat looms with proposals to complete the last stretch of the Highway into Colombia. As a first step toward counteracting the threat, the congresses of the Embera, Wounaan, and Kuna peoples and the Centro de Estudios y Accion Social - Panamen~o (CEASPA) recently undertook a participatory exercise to map indigenous claims in Darien Province. From May to October 1993, a team of cartographers and indigenous encuestadores, or surveyors, from communities throughout the region produced maps detailing not only the geography of the area but also native people's land-use patterns. Each encuestador was responsible for a zone encompassing up to five or six communities, so that all of the territory inhabited and used by indigenous groups for subsistence was covered.

Update on Mexico: Indigenous Law Denounced The Mexican Congress recently approved a modified version of the Law on Indigenous Rights and Culture. It was proposed over five years ago as a result of peace talks between the Mexican government and the Zapatistas, but was never submitted to Congress for approval under former President Zedillo. President Fox made submission of the proposal to Congress one of his first acts upon taking office in December 2000. The law is intended as a constitutional amendment. The indigenous rights law was substantially modified from its original form, and indigenous rights groups across the country who had lobbied for passage of the original proposal have vehemently denounced the version approved by Congress, citing its failure to fulfill the basic rights of Mexico's 23 million indigenous people, the majority of whom live in severe poverty and lack adequate representation in the government. For hundreds of years, Mexico's indigenous peoples have been marginalized and isolated from the rest of society. The Zapatista rebellion in 1994, launched the issue onto the international stage.

THE STATE OF THE REGION SUMMARY State of the Region Synopsis General Assessment In spite of the advances cited, the economic and political achievements won are precarious and, in terms of social equity and environmental sustainability, negative for the region, though not necessarily for all of the countries. Central America is torn by regional fractures in its human development, with the following still in existence:
  • Gaps in human development achievements among countries; in the isthmus there are two (or three if Belize is included) countries who are leaders in Latin America, and four who hold the lowest positions in the hemisphere. Internal territorial divisions in all of the countries. Alongside modern enclaves in capitals and major cities lie vast zones of poverty and low productivity, usually in rural and border areas. Multiple and wide divisions exist among social groups: between rich and poor, between men and women, between indigenous, Afro-Caribbean, and nonindigenous peoples for example. These divisions in terms of equity have generated widespread poverty and excluded the majority of people from access to social services and the benefits of development. Divisions between economic performance, policies, and legal frameworks exist among the countries, which affect the business climate in the region. In addition, countries like El Salvador and Nicaragua, affected by war, are just now recovering the GNP that they had twenty and thirty years ago, respectively (MIDEPLAN, 1998).
