Central America and Mexico Report Home Indigenous protesters attacked (Sept. 2000) On September 7 nearly 200 Honduran police officers and soldiers violently attacked hundreds of Chorti indigenous people blocking the entrance to the Copan Maya Ruins archaeological park in a two-day protest aimed at getting attention to issues affecting their communities. Click here to receive a FREE copy of the current issue or subscribe to the Report with our Subscription Form Scores of people were injured in the confrontation and at least 17 people received injuries serious enough to require hospitalization. Police and soldiers attacked the Chorti with batons and teargas, while protesters reportedly responded with stones and sticks. Twenty indigenous leaders were arrested. The Chorti protesters, whose numbers were estimated at nearly 1,000, had taken the action to try to force the government's attention to their need for land, as well as its reneging on past agreements reached with Honduras' indigenous peoples. The protest was the latest in a series of actions from indigenous groups over the past five years seeking to draw attention to the problems and needs in their communities.

close Indigenous Peoples and Poverty: The Cases of Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua Executive summary This paper addresses some of the most pressing issues for indigenous peoples in Latin America. It looks at the poverty situation of indigenous peoples in four poor countries in Latin America - Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Despite there being little or no disaggregated data for indigenous women and men in Latin America, it can easily be concluded that indigenous peoples are disproportionately represented among the poor. Governments and donors, however, have judged indigenous peoples to be poor without asking indigenous peoples themselves how they see their situation. It may be that measured within the economic parameters of mainstream society, indigenous peoples are among the poorest but the official Poverty Maps do not necessarily reflect the real poverty situation as perceived by indigenous peoples. In some cases, poverty indicators may even reflect a discriminatory disregard for indigenous values as such, whereby expressions of indigenous identity become an indicator of poverty. Due to the current political marginalization, indigenous peoples are largely absent from the planning, design and implementation of development policies and programmes that directly affect their lives and territories. This study explains some of the impacts of this marginalization and offers a path towards an inclusive system of development.

12. Indigenous Peoples And Poverty: The Cases Of Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras And Ni the MRG consultation in Guatemala also confirmed that many indigenous peoples' experiences are similar poverty levels in the border areas of El Salvador, honduras and Nicaragua http://www.minorityrights.org/Dev/mrg_dev_title12_LatinAmerica/mrg_dev_title12_L

printer friendly version General aspects of indigenous peoples' perception of poverty Apart from providing country-specific information, the MRG consultation in Guatemala also confirmed that many indigenous peoples' experiences are similar. The same concerns are consistently raised by indigenous organizations in international processes, for example, concerning sustainable development. These issues to some extent constitute general aspects of indigenous peoples' perception of poverty in Latin America, and are discussed below: Governance and development Conflict, democracy, governance and indigenous rights Indigenous models of governance, justice and democracy were never taken into account in the construction of Latin American states, which are built on a model of citizenship that has until recently excluded indigenous peoples. All of the four countries discussed in this study have recent experiences of armed struggle, militarization or violence. In addition, the Contra War facilitated the distribution of drugs and alcohol. This had a negative impact as these communities tried to raise money to satisfy these new needs through diving for lobsters, via fisheries and the exploitation of natural resources, etc., setting aside the production of basic food items for consumption. The climate of war in Central America in the 1970s and 1980s also seriously raised poverty levels in the border areas of El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua.

Other Indigenous Groups Honduras Table of Contents Following the period of Mayan dominance, the area that would eventually comprise Honduras was occupied by a multiplicity of indigenous peoples. Indigenous groups related to the Toltec of central Mexico migrated from the northwest into parts of what became western and southern Honduras. Most notable were the Toltecspeaking Chorotega, who established themselves near the present-day city of Choluteca. Later enclaves of Nahua-speaking peoples, such as the Pipil, whose language was related to that of the Aztec, established themselves at various locations from the Caribbean coast to the Golfo de Fonseca on the Pacific coast. While groups related to indigenous peoples of Mexico moved into western and southern Honduras, other peoples with languages related to those of the Chibcha of Colombia were establishing themselves in areas that became northeastern Honduras. Most prominent among these were the Ulva and Paya speakers. Along the Caribbean coast, a variety of groups settled. Most important were the Sumu, who were also located in Nicaragua, and the Jicaque, whose language family has been a source of debate among scholars. Finally, in parts of what is now west-central Honduras were the Lenca, who also were believed to have migrated north from Colombia but whose language shows little relation to any other indigenous group.

printer friendly version Indigenous peoples' experiences with poverty This section is based mainly on the input from the indigenous participants at the MRG workshop in Guatemala, July 2002. Bolivia In Bolivia, official figures estimate that approximately 4.2 million Bolivians (50.6 per cent of the population) are indigenous, compising 37 different indigenous and aboriginal peoples.11 Of these, most live in the Andean highlands. The institutionalized racism in the Andean region has led many indigenous people to internalize this racism and negate their indigenous identity, by changing their indigenous surnames into more 'civilized' ones, or rejecting their indigenous language. This 'whitening' process is well known in Latin America and is synonymous with social and economic elevation. As for education, a separate curriculum was specified for rural populations, building on colonial concepts of the 'civilizing' mission of the state regarding indigenous peoples. Teachers generally reproduced these state concepts, reiterating the idea that indigenous children from the highlands were 'dirty' due to their colour, and that indigenous languages should be replaced with Spanish.12 Indigenous peoples in the history of Bolivia The colonization, which started in 1527, led to the end of the powerful indigenous states in the Andean region and a catastrophic decline in the indigenous population (up to 80 per cent of the population died, mainly due to disease, war and forced labour).13 In pre-colonial times, the

printer friendly version Poverty Since the UN World Social Summit in Copenhagen in 1995, poverty reduction has been recognized internationally as the main development goal. The importance of poverty reduction was reaffirmed in September 2000, when 191 nations adopted the UN Millennium Declaration. The Declaration's target regarding poverty is to reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day, by 2015. According to the World Development Indicators Database (2001) Nicaragua is a low-income country with an average Gross National Income (GNI) of less than US $745 per person, while Bolivia, Guatemala and Honduras are lower middle-income countries with a GNI per person ranging from US $746-2,975. Income poverty At the country level, poverty is normally based on income level. A person is considered poor if their income falls below the minimum necessary to meet basic needs. This minimum level is usually called the 'poverty line'. What is necessary to satisfy basic needs varies through time and across societies, and is country-specific. In order to measure poverty globally, the World Bank uses reference lines set at US $1 and $2 a day. In 1998, it was estimated that 1.2 billion people lived on less than US $1 a day and 2.8 billion lived on less than $2 a day.5

Native Planet Indigenous Cultures Garifuna Garifuna by Jean-Philippe Soule All the black communities living on the Caribbean coast of Central America are commonly called Garifuna or Black Carib, or as they refer to themselves, Garinagu. Over the last three centuries, in spite of many migrations, re-settlements and interactions with Indians, British, French and Spanish, they have preserved much of the culture from their two main branches of ancestry. The Garinagu are the descendants of Caribs Indians and Black African slaves. The Caribs were originally indigenous peoples from South America. They spoke the Arawak Indian language and are believed to have left the Orinoco jungles of Venezuela to settle in the Caribbean. They inhabited various Caribbean islands but were later pushed out by European colonists and were able to keep only two islands, Dominica and Saint Vincent. In 1635 two Spanish ships carrying slaves to the West Indies were ship-wrecked near St. Vincent. The slaves escaped and were welcomed and protected by the Carib Indians. Their intermarriage formed the Garinagu people (known as Garifuna today). The Garinagu still spoke Arawak. They remained on those two islands where they traded with the French. In 1795, the British took control of their islands to start sugar cane plantations. In 1797, British relocated all the Garinagu prisoners along with some black slaves to the island of Roatan in Honduras. From Roatan they moved to the Spanish fort of Trujillo and settled all along the coast from Belize through Honduras to Nicaragua.
