Educating Indigenous Girls in Latin America: Closing the Gap Information Bulletin, October 1997 A Publication of USAID's Office of Women in Development USAID: Office of Women in Development Publications Extending the Benefits of Education An estimated 40 million people in Latin America, or 10 percent of the total population, are indigenous, including Mayan peoples in Guatemala and the Quechua and Aymara in Bolivia and Peru. Indigenous people live throughout the region but constitute a majority of the total population in Bolivia and significant minorities in Ecuador, Guatemala, and Peru. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is working with Latin American governments and indigenous leaders to improve the standard of living for all indigenous people. Increasing educational opportunities represents an important contribution toward that goal. In most Latin American countries, gender parity in education has been achieved for children (United Nations, 1995). The education of indigenous girls, however, lags behind the rate for indigenous boys and still further behind the rate for non- indigenous boys and girls. As a group, indigenous females have the lowest literacy rate in Latin America. Given the documented benefits of girls' education in improving the economic and health status of families, it is important to extend education to girls who have been marginalized for cultural, economic, linguistic, or other reasons.

Country Info Guatemala Introduction Guatemala General Data Guatemala Maps Guatemala Culture ... Guatemala Time and Date Guatemala People Back to Top Guatemala’s population, the largest of any Central American country, is 12,974,361 (2001 estimate). It is almost evenly divided between Native Americans and ladinos, but also includes small groups descended from African and European immigrants. Within the population are widely varied ways of life, differing between ladinos and indigenous people, between urban and rural residents, between the more affluent and the very poor. On the basis of cultural traits, the population is divided into two main ethnic groups—Ladinos and Amerindians. The Ladinos comprise those of mixed Hispanic-Amerindian origin in addition to those Amerindians who have adopted Western ways of life. While Amerindians account for some 45 percent of the nation's total population, they make up 75 percent of the population in the western highland provinces. The Ladinos are the more commercially and politically influential group, and they make up most of the urban population. Most of the small number of blacks, called Black Caribs, inhabit the Caribbean lowlands. More than half of Guatemalans are descendants of indigenous Mayan peoples. Westernized Mayans and mestizos (mixed European and indigenous ancestry) are known as Ladinos. Most of Guatemala's population is rural, though urbanization is accelerating. The predominant religion is Roman Catholicism, into which many indigenous Guatemalans have incorporated traditional forms of worship. Protestantism and traditional Mayan religions are practiced by an estimated 40% and 1% of the population, respectively. Though the official language is Spanish, it is not universally understood among the indigenous population. However, the peace accords signed in December 1996 provide for the translation of some official documents and voting materials into several indigenous languages (see summary of main substantive accords).

NLThomas Indigenous Peoples' Rights by Chief Abel Bosum Ouje-Bougoumou Cree Nation Speech given on December 10th, 1994 at the Kennedy Library Boston, Massachusettes We like to think of the UN as a world government that is responsible for a kind of "universal sovereignty" laws that transcend the jurisdictions of individual States, or perhaps, law that cannot be entrusted to the single responsibility of individual States. In fact, if we examine the history of the UN, it is obvious that it was founded to establish and enforce a higher standard of ethical and moral behavior than individual States may practice. We all know that the establishment of the UN in San Francisco directly at the end of the Second World War, was in reaction to the horrors of the Nazi regime. The founding principle of the UN is that States do not have ultimate sovereignty with regard to the basic human rights and fundamental freedoms of their inhabitants; that this ultimate sovereignty is surrendered to the world body, and that although each State retains the responsibility to uphold and enforce human rights law, all States are subject to international oversight in this regard, and if necessary, international intervention. The speeches that were made at the founding of the UN note that the need for the world to act in solidarity against Hitler's Germany was this same principle of world solidarity that was applied to the apartheid regime in South Africa, resulting in the very positive developments that have occurred there recently. Of course there was no UN when Columbus landed in the so-called "New World," and from the look of things now, I would say that the Indians, the indigenous peoples of the Americans, could certainly have used a UN.

THE INTERNATIONAL CANCUN DECLARATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES th WTO Ministerial Conference - Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico, 12 September 2003 We, the international representatives of Indigenous Peoples gathered here during the 5 th WTO Ministerial Conference in Cancun, Mexico from 10-14 September 2003 wish to extend our thanks to the Indigenous Peoples of Mexico, particularly the Mayan Indigenous Peoples of Quintana Roo, for welcoming us. We share the concerns of our Indigenous brothers and sisters, as expressed in the Congreso Nacional Indigena Declaration of Cancun. We join our voices to this CNI Declaration and its conclusions and recommendations. We wish to especially recognize and honor the sacrifice of our Korean brother, Mr. Lee-Kyung-Hae, made here in Cancun. His act of self-immolation was a dignified cultural expression profoundly reflecting the daily reality of the effects of Globalization and liberalized trade on peasants and Indigenous Peoples throughout the world. We have come to Cancun to address critical issues and negative impacts of the WTO Trade Negotiations on our families, communities and nations. With the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and with the continuing imposition of the structural adjustment policies of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, our situation, as Indigenous Peoples, has turned from bad to worse. Corporations are given more rights and privileges at the expense of our rights. Our right to self-determination, which is to freely determine our political status and pursue our own economic, social and cultural development, and our rights to our territories and resources, to our indigenous knowledge, cultures and identities are grossly violated. Some of the prime examples of the adverse impacts of the WTO Agreements on us are the following:

Jus Realfag Medisin Marine fag ... Gammen STRATEGIMIDLER 2003 Prosject 200300843-19 Financial support to the project "Guatemala:The peace process and its relationship to indigenous peoples" we have decided to write our thesis on Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala. More specifically, what we have decided to research is the perceptions of civil society organizations in Guatemala about the role of MINUGUA (United Nations mission of verification of Human Rights for Guatemala) regarding Indigenous Peoples specifically. The Saami Center has provided us with funding to do the field work in Guatemala, which took place between June and September, 2003. The experience has been a very fulfilling process of coming closer to a nation that has been trying to rebuild itself after 36 years of Civil War. During this conflict, Indigenous Peoples have suffered very much from direct and structural violence. Tens of thousands died, and even more were displaced from their lands and even from their country, forced to cross the border with Mexico in search of better living conditions. Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala make up a very high percentage of the population. There are claims as high as 70%, and as low as 30%, which means that there are between 3 and 7 million Indigenous Peoples in this Central American country. The number depends basically on who provides them, and how Indigenous Peoples are counted. Besides, there are more than 20 different ethnic groups among them, which provides a very wide variety of cultural diversity in a country.
