In ecuador they have also some variants. The original flag is the striped whipala, which was the coat of armor of the Inca, long before they started to think of having a own gay flag, rainbow warrior or other rainbow using flags in this world. Concering the flags which are used in the original Whipala, as the images at this page EMBLEMA NACIONAL del PUSIN-SUYU = TAWANTINSUYU- Huipala/wiphala, where and when did the rainbow flag originate from? The Indigenous banner is called " huipala" with the seven colors of the rainbow (symbolizing the unity of indigenous peoples before the conquest) and the black flags of Ruminahui (legendary leader of the autonomous movement) and Atahualpa La bandera indígena se llama : " huipala " con los siete colores del arco iris (que simboliza la unidad de la gente indígena antes de la conquista) y de los banderas negros de Ruminahui (arranque de cinta legendario del movimiento autónomo) y Atahualpa The Rainbow flag (Wipahla) belong to the Native Andean people of Tahuantinsuyu for more than 500 years. Each color and its place in the flag as the rainbow, have an own indigenous significance.

25. Chapter 8 So, before turning to the question of the potential for indigenous peoples and their brieflyoutline some of the background to these recent events in ecuador. http://www.uoguelph.ca/~terisatu/chapter_8.htm

Chapter 8 Playing out a full hand: Indigenous people s movements and the vulnerability of transnational energy corporations A paper written for the seminar A Indigenous People: The Way Forward, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, November 1993 The authors, Craig S. Benjamin and Terisa E. Turner are members of the International Oil Working Group, P.O. Box 1410, Cathedral Station, New York, New York, 10025 USA ABSTRACT The authors challenge the assumption, prevalent among many Northern environmental and indigenous advocacy groups, that grassroots movements are powerless to stop large-scale development projects initiated by transnational energy corporations. The authors begin by examining the compromise position which the U.S. National Resources Defence Council (NRDC) advocated in the struggle against oil development in the Ecuadorian Amazon. They then present a multi-level structural analysis of the power of popular alliances in Ecuador and internationally to thwart development programs pursued by transnational energy corporations and their national allies. In a survey of the political economy of energy production and sale in the present century the authors identify three critical factors pertaining to the present vulnerability of the international energy industry. The first is the transnationals fear of direct confrontation with movements of energy workers and their communities. The second factor is the ongoing effort by energy transnationals to promote intermediary social actors, including state energy corporations, that can serve as buffers against popular movements. The third is the weakening of the power and legitimacy of these intermediaries under the pressure of global economic restructuring in the period 1973 to the present. Key historical events referred to in this analysis include the 1973 oil embargo and the 1978 uprising by Iranian oil communities.

After repeated delays, the government will auction off large areas of the eastern part of the country to oil companies for oil exploration and exploitation. The process is known as 'block leasing,' and this will be the ninth round since it was introduced. As this series of On the Record goes out, it is still unclear how much land will be leased. For most of 2001 it had been assumed that 13 new 'blocks' would be auctioned, 11 of which would be in the Amazon. Just before Christmas came word that the area would be reduced, and the number of new blocks could be as few as four, perhaps with another four offshore. The final decision is expected soon. If the past is any indication, any new exploitation will be too much. Certainly, it will bring large amounts of foreign investment to Ecuador, but the benefits will likely be offset by the destruction of natural resources, the loss of Ecuador's indigenous culture, and the increased impoverishment of its people.

Introduction Troubled History Poisoning the Amazon Risky Business ... profile: OPIP Defending the Amazon INTRODUCTION: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSAULT AND GRASSROOTS RESISTANCE By Peter Lippman oil waste pond For thirty years, one of the richest bioregions on the planet has been under assault from international oil companies. In the Amazonian region that makes up the eastern half of Ecuador, catastrophic damage has already taken place. Not only have rivers, jungles, and wildlife been despoiled, but the health and culture of the indigenous and Mestizo communities of the Amazon are in critical danger. The grassroots human rights organizations of the Oriente (Ecuador’s Amazon) have resisted the destruction of their land by the oil companies. But in 2002 they face a heightened threat. The Ecuadorian government is preparing to lease off huge new tracts of pristine rain forest, for a new round of oil exploration. And construction of a new pipeline is underway across the country and through a dozen environmentally "protected zones." A new chapter is unfolding in the continuing corporate onslaught against the Amazon. This campaign section tells the story of the poisoning of the jungle at the hands of Texaco and other oil companies; of the contamination of the waters; and of the resulting sickness in indigenous communities. Some of these communities are even threatened with cultural extinction.

Noboa and Antonio Vargas, president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities (CONAIE), Ecuador's largest indigenous movement, signed a 23-point agreement on Wednesday at a Government Palace ceremony. Hundreds of Ecuador's native peoples celebrated in the streets near downtown Quito following the signing ceremony. "I think this is a very important step, especially since we are in a democracy," Vargas said. "Many people are confused and think that the indigenous groups want to disrupt democracy, and we have demonstrated to Ecuador and the world that we want democracy.

Ecuador Indigenous Peoples According to the official numbers of the Ecuadorian government, 25% of the Ecuadorian population is Indigenous. However, other sources consider that the percentage is closer to 45% . Indigenous peoples in Ecuador are divided into 15 Indigenous nationalities that speak 11 distinct languages in addition to Spanish. Background The Ecuadorian economy depends largely on the exploitation of petroleum. In 2000, crude exports represented 41.7% of the total income for the Ecuadorian government. Crude reserves in Ecuador are mostly located in the Amazonian region. The rights to exploit subsoil resources belong to the Ecuadorian State . Additional pressure for state and private reforms regarding extraction methods resulted from a class action suit brought by over 30,000 Amazonian Ecuadorians against the oil company Texaco in New York district court for its destructive activities in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon. Since then, Indigenous peoples have been pressing for the application of the various rights contained in the Constitution, among them the right to be consulted previous to government authorization of programs that will affect Indigenous peoples. The Amazonian Indigenous peoples have struggled to exercise this right principally in regards to the authorization of government plans for the extraction of subsoil resources. In November of 2001, in response to a claim presented by the Shuar people, the

Efrain Toapanta, Acción por la Vida (Action for Life), Mindo, March 27, 2002 The human rights situation in Ecuador continues to be a serious concern for environmentalists and Indigenous peoples. For over four decades, Indigenous communities have witnessed multinational oil companies cut through the Ecuadorian Amazon and their ancestral lands in search of the country's vast petroleum resources. These communities along with reports such as "Amazon Crude" have described how oil companies have left dead rivers, road-scarred forests, polluted air, and daily discharges of millions of gallons of toxic waste in their wake.

IV329 - March 2001 - Ecuador Ecuador - indigenous mobilization defeats neo-liberalism Ernesto Herrera The agreement signed between Ecuador's President Noboa and the powerful National Confederation of Indigenous peoples of Ecuador (Conaie) on February 7, 2000 represents a new victory. In the course of three years, the radical mobilization of the peasant-indigenous movement, alongside the popular urban sectors, has overthrown two neo-liberal governments, divided the Armed Forces, and won a popular plebiscite against dollarisation of the economy and the payment of the foreign debt. Today the struggle has prevented the implementation of the most anti-popular economic measures like the increase in gas tariffs and fuel prices. The Conaie has ensured the cancellation of the debt owed to the state by the body responsible for rural social security, together with the establishment of a policy of protection for Ecuadorian emigrants (in particular those going to the EU) and a credit mechanism for the poorest agricultural workers. They have also ensured the non-participation of Ecuador in "Plan Colombia", a political decision which is fundamental for the entire region. Conaie president Antonio Vargas stressed that this agreement was a victory that can be attributed "to our struggle, which is not only that of the indigenous peoples … it is one step more on the road that leads to the end of poverty and exclusion".

40. Ecuador: The Future Of The Chachi Indigenous People And Their Forests In ecuador successive governments have completely disregarded the protection ofthe and natural resources as well as the safeguard of indigenous peoples. http://www.wrm.org.uy/bulletin/29/Ecuador.html

Ecuador: the future of the Chachi indigenous people and their forests Mache-Chindul rainforests and mangroves, located in the Province of Esmeraldas in the Ecuadorian Pacific region hold high levels of biodiversity. Additionally, this province is a multicultural complex formed by different ethnic groups -indigenous, black and "mestizos", as the Chachi, the Emperas, the Awa, Afro-Esmeraldian population and landless peasants who arrived there as colonists expelled from other regions of the country. For about three decades the province has been suffering a deforestation and forest degradation process: in 1958 there were 2,750,000 hectares of forests and nowadays only 500,000 remain, having the rest been transformed into agricultural or pasture lands. The forests of Mache-Chindul are part of these relicts, most of which are located in the indigenous Chachi territory, occupying an area of some 18,000 hectares. The communities of San Salvador, Balzar and Chorrera Grande, together with more than 30 scattered colonists' settlements live there. When the first Chachi families arrived there, in the decade of 1930, the area was completely void. Until the end of the 60s the Chachi lived in relative isolation, using the rivers for transportation, and developing sustainable production practices based on shifting agriculture, hunting, fishing, handicraft production and the gathering of products from the forest.
