Pachakutik: Indigenous Political Movement Gaining Power in Ecuador By Ana Maria Carrera Ecuador's indigenous party, Pachakutik (a Quechua word meaning "Resurgence"), was instrumental in helping former-coup leader and president-elect Colonel Lucio Guitierrez reach the highest office in this Andean nation. Now it's looking for its reward: a number of indigenous leaders are poised to ascend to ministerial positions under the new government. Founded in 1996 with the goal of winning influence in presidential politics, the Resurgence is clearly ahead of schedule. Three elements embody Pachakutic symbolism and ideology: the scarf, the spring coil and the party's policy itself.

justice, peace and creation news TRIPS and its potential impacts on Indigenous Peoples by Victoria Tauli-Corpuz The imposition of western legal regimes on Indigenous Peoples is one of the root causes of the many problems they faced in the past and up to the present. These regimes either totally negate customary laws, or accommodate only those aspects which reinforce them. The intellectual property rights (IPRs) regime, particularly the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreements, is the latest example of this kind of imposition. The struggle to bring in IPRs into the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is a classic case of transnational corporations cooperating closely with the world's most powerful nation-states to ensure that their interests will be legally protected in international and national law. In the past, the colonial governments crafted national laws which facilitated their access and control over the natural resources of their colonies. They also forged unequal bilateral treaties with their colonies or ex-colonies which allowed for free trade or which gave them parity rights to exploit natural resources or set up businesses. At present, aside from bilateral treaties, there are already multilateral agreements like the GATT (now known as WTO) whose role is to ensure that national laws will be changed to conform to the international legal regimes. The harmonization of intellectual property rights laws to ensure that these are consistent with TRIPs could be disastrous for Indigenous Peoples. It is similar to how national laws and policies on land, forests, governance, etc. were imposed on Indigenous Peoples without any consideration whatsoever of customary laws on these same areas. In this case, however, it is an international body, the WTO, which is acting like national governments. In this case, diverse laws and policies regarding IPR protection have to be recast in the mould of TRIPS.

Indigenous people in South America - A political awakening New Message Reply About this list Date view ... Author view From: Berhane Habtemariam ( Berhane.Habtemariam@gmx.de Date: Fri Feb 20 2004 - 13:46:09 EST Indigenous people in South America A political awakening From The Economist print edition Reuters Poverty and a new ethnic politics have spawned radical Indian movements in the Andean countries. Are these a threat or a boost to democracy? LUCIO GUARACHI was born in a village on Bolivia's windswept Altiplano, some 4,000 metres (13,000 feet) above sea level. Of Andean Indian descent, he speaks Aymara as well as Spanish. Since he was ten, he has lived mainly in El Alto, an ever-expanding satellite city of 700,000 people whose self-built houses of bare brick or mud and corrugated iron straggle out into the Altiplano above Bolivia's capital, La Paz. He works, when there is work, in a small workshop making water pumps. Last October, he helped to overthrow an elected president. El Alto was the scene of battles between the army and well-organised protestors that ended with at least 59 dead and the resignation of President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, a pro-American mining magnate. The ostensible motive for the protests was a scheme by multinational companies to export liquefied natural gas from Bolivia to California via Chile. But was there another factor at work? Most of the protesters were of indigenous descent. The trigger for their action lay in an obscure incident in Pucarani, a small town near Lake Titicaca. Indian followers of Felipe Quispe, a militant peasant leader, had captured two cattle rustlers; invoking indigenous traditions of justice, they beat and killed them. When police arrested his lieutenant for the crime, Mr Quispe organised roadblocks. After protestors and police were killed, matters escalated.

HRS PHONE PERSONAL PAGE: jdanders@colby.edu Lovejoy 311 MF http://www.colby.edu/personal/jdanders/ COURSE DESCRIPTION: Throughout its history, anthropology has been committed to and active in maintaining the rights of indigenous peoples against the destructive global forces of nation-state power, racist ideologies, assimilation, and industrial resource appropriation. To develop an informed, up-to-date, and critical understanding of these issues, the course will offer an overview of the contemporary state of indigenous peoples and then guide students in pursuing on-line research of Internet sites established by indigenous peoples themselves, anthropological groups, international human rights organizations, world news services, national governments, and the United Nations. COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1. The course critically examines the cultural and political meanings of concepts used to talk about human rights, especially considering the universalist versus relativist debate.

The undeclared war has occured exclusively in Peruvian Aguaruna territory, in the highest part of the Cenepa river valley where 120 Auguaruna communities live. The 5,300 square kilometers have a total population of 35,000 people - 82 of the communities have legal ownership of the majority of their territory while the other 38 are in the process of gaining legal title to their land. The war has had a serious impact on the local communities, and president of the Aguaruna Huambisa Council Evaristo Nukuang reported that 28 local people have been killed by landmines during the conflict. No one has included them on the list of casualties, and their families will not receive compensation like the families of the soldiers and other dead
