Solidarity and Support for political prisoners from the Mapuche Nation Europe, December 2003 Recently, the "Chilean Commission on Truth and New Deal" released a report in which it acknowledges the extinction of Indigenous Peoples by ethnocide. The Report also notes the risk of extinction of the Kawesqar and Yagan people which proves that the threat of extinction of the entire Indigenous population of Chile is still feasible. After nearly three decades of successful economic growth in Chile, it is possible to conclude that the social project and in particular the so-called "progress" proclaimed by the economic and political elite produces neither social welfare nor democracy. The free market and democratisation it seems are incompatible. Neoliberal structural adjustment has given new life to the uneven distribution of income and wealth, and indigenous people fare worst of all. Hydro-electric dams, landfill sites and roads have been built across sacred areas of Mapuche land, logging rights to native forests have been granted, and Mapuche land has been given away to forestry companies and salmon farms, all of which proves that the Chilean state does not intend to guarantee the integrity of Mapuche ancestral lands nor the defence of Indigenous people's rights.

87. Chile - History chile s population is composed predominantly of mestizos, who are descendedfrom marriage between the Spanish colonizers and the indigenous people. http://www.geographia.com/chile/chilehistory.htm

CHILE S urrounded on three sides by virtually impassable barriers, Chile's rich central valley remained largely unknown to the outside world until the middle of the fifteenth century, when the Incas began their great conquests of much of the continent. Under Tupac Yupanqui, an Inca army succeeded in crossing the six hundred mile string of salt basins that are the Atacama Desert, moving from oasis to oasis in a region so dry that some parts of it show no evidence of ever having been rained upon. After coming at last into the central valley, the Incas encountered the Mapuche, one of the three Araucanian peoples who occupied the region. The invading army seemed at first to be enjoying the same success that the Incas were experiencing all over South America, and they advanced about half way down the valley's five hundred mile length. However, the Incas soon found that they had met their match in the Mapuche, who decisively defeated the Incan attempt to cross over the Rio Maule into the Lake District. The Incas established a stable presence in the territory they had gained, but they did not see fit to pursue the redoubtable Mapuche any further. Less than a century later, a Spanish army attempted to do just that. In 1541, Pedro de Valdavia crossed into the central valley, having followed the Inca road south from Peru. He founded Santiago in February, and soon afterward crossed into Mapuche domains and established strongholds there. In 1553, in a gesture no doubt familiar to the Spaniard Valdavia, they bound him to a tree and beheaded him.

Indigenous People in Chile Population: 621,000 (4.2% of total population 14,787,000) Click here to view General Chronology Risk Assessment Analytic Summary The Mapuche have a warrior tradition dating back to their battles against Incans in the 12th Century. During that period, they established settlements along the Bío-Bío River, some of which remain to this day. When Spanish conquistadors expanded into Chile in the late 1500s, they called the Mapuches "Araucans." During ongoing conflicts with the Spaniards, some Mapuche migrated to what is now Argentina. Large-scale conflict between the Mapuche and the Spanish was ended by a 1641 treaty that recognized land from the Bío-Bío River to the Archipelago de los Chonos as Mapuche territory. When Chile won independence in 1817, it attempted to renegotiate the extent of the Mapuche lands. By 1845, the government was promoting policies to populate land south of the Bío-Bío with European immigrants. The government awarded these Europeans land grants without Mapuche consent, selling large portions of their territory. When the Mapuche began to attack those encroaching on their lands in the late 1850s, the military responded with violent force. In 1866, the Chilean government passed a law allowing the sale of Mapuche lands, on the premise that it was considered "public." Within a decade, the government had assumed control of all "Araucanian" territory. When the Mapuche were militarily defeated in 1883, they lost even more land. Following 1884, Mapuche were placed on various reservations or given employment as tenant farmers or share-croppers on large estates owned by European immigrants.

Indigenous People in Argentina Population: 363,000 (1.0% of the total population 36,285,000) Click here to view General Chronology Risk Assessment Argentine indigenous groups have periodically protested their condition, though rarely directly confronting authorities, or in significant numbers (PROT90X = 2, PROT98X = 3). Only one instance was found 1999-2000, when protesters in the city of General Mosconi burned City Hall and destroyed stores and a bank, after National Guardsmen attacked their barricade. Analytic Summary There are 16 to 20 indigenous groups in Argentina which dwell primarily in the North of the country, bordering Bolivia and Paraguay. The larger groups are the Collas (35,000), the Chiriguanos (15,000), the Tobas (15,000), the Mapudungun (40,000) of the Chaco, the Guaranies (10,500) of Misiones, and the Wichi (25,000). Further South, about 36,000 Mapuches live in the province of Nequen and Tehuelches, bordering on Chile (GROUPCON = 3). There are also varying estimates of Quechua and Quichua speakers in Argentina depending upon seasonal employment. In the Tierra del Fuego, there are also some Selk'namgon people. Shamans are a very important part of indigenous religion throughout the country and traditional ceremonies and mysticism are practiced. There have been attempts to Christianize these populations and some missions for indigenous people exist, but their religious practices are a combination of traditional mystic ceremonies and Christian traditions.

91. Mapuches Oppose The Agreement Between The European Union And Chile My Two Beads the twelve years of socalled democracy in chile, the Government has refused toratify Convention 169 concerning indigenous and tribal people, introduced by http://mytwobeadsworth.com/Mapuche902.html

Press Release 3rd September, 2002 Mapuches oppose the Agreement between the European Union and Chile As the Earth Summit comes to a close, the Mapuche organisation questions the EU's ethics regarding sustainability in developing countries The Free-Trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and Chile is strongly opposed by the Mapuche people's organisations based in Holland, Belgium, Sweden and the UK. A campaign has been launched today to contest its ratification. Information has been sent to their respective Parliaments as well as to the EU Parliament, in which the Mapuche express their concerns, for what they see as a threat to the existence and development of the indigenous communities in Chile. The Mapuche state that the Chilean Government does not guarantee the implementation of sustainable development policies. They foresee that this agreement will lead to increased commercial activity in their ancestral territories. Multinational corporations and other investors will have access to uncontrolled exploitation of their natural resources. The lack of policies to protect native forests has already resulted in an alarming depletion of the eco-system and biodiversity. The Mapuche note that all infrastructure projects are currently introduced without the consent of the affected indigenous communities, drawing attention to the fact that most of what has already been implemented contravenes current Chilean legislation on the rights of indigenous peoples. The Mapuche highlight the fact that the proposed agreement infringes ethical principles affirmed by the EU, and forms the basis for unregulated commercial activity in developing countries. The document says: "We are most concerned about the total disregard in this agreement for sustainable development, the environment, and the human rights of indigenous peoples. This should be seen in the context of the norms and agreements established by the EU, the UN and other international organisations."

Winter 1998 Pinochet Case has Implications for Dictators Guyana's Native People File Historic Law Suit Over Lands Pinochet Case has Implications for Dictators By Craig Benjamin The Nuremberg Tribunal, which tried Nazi war criminals after World War II, established the principle that every country has the right and the obligation to prosecute genocide and crimes against humanity, no matter where in the world these crimes have taken place. This past October, the Spanish High Court ruled that this principle gives Spanish judges the right to bring General Augusto Pinochet, the former military dictator of Chile, to trial. This ruling was applauded by human rights organizations as a significant step toward ending the legal impunity of governments. Such impunity has been responsible for states escaping prosecuting for torture, political killings and genocidal assaults on Native peoples. The Spanish ruling came 25 years after Pinochet took power in a CIA-backed coup that overthrew the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. During 17 years of military rule, Pinochet reversed the social and economic reforms of Allende. In pioneering many of the policies of privatization and free trade that have since been widely adopted throughout the hemisphere, Pinochet's regime carried out what Amnesty International has called "a planned systematic, widespread policy of violation of fundamental human rights," directed against anyone who might oppose the changes.

Above all, we write to urge you to ensure that adequate time is allocated to foster an inclusive and wide-ranging public discussion on the next revised draft of this important policy. Having received numerous communications from the indigenous movement over the last few years on the matter of the revision of World Bank Operational Directive 4.20 (OD4.20), you will be fully aware of the importance we attach to this policy revision process, and of our serious outstanding concerns regarding the March 2001 draft revised policy, which failed to uphold our fundamental human rights as indigenous peoples. In October 2002, while attending a Roundtable discussion with Bank staff about the policy revision, indigenous representatives from Africa, Asia and Latin America received a public assurance from Vice-President Ian Johnson that the policy would be re-written and that the next draft of the policy would be placed in the public domain for further external scrutiny and comment.
