The majority of these people are the descendants of the great Aztec, Maya and Inca civilizations and today they comprise around 40 million people in the region. Recently, a new vision has emerged in Latin America that builds on the positive qualities of indigenous cultures and societies. The World Bank is working to promote the participation and inclusion of the LAC region's indigenous peoples in a sustainable development process. The main objectives are to: Reduce poverty and promote sustainable development; Build indigenous peoples' capacity for self-development; Strengthen and improve policy and institutional frameworks; Demonstrate the important role indigenous peoples play in the management of fragile ecosystems and biodiversity conservation;

Latin America Go Back to Page 1 Latin America Honduras: The Situation of the Indigenous Peoples By Carlos Quintanilla The indigenous peoples of Honduras have always been the first to be repressed and kicked out by force from their lands, especially when someone things that oil should be explored in those places, or any other wealth producing material smells of profits. This is not new of course. Colonizers killed Indians because they wanted their land and their gold. And there is an ongoing campaign for European Nations to at least forgive the debts Latin American countries owe in partial payment for all the gold that was stolen. Unfortunately, in all cases, no attention has been paid to the complaints and accusation coming from the aborigines, who are, first and foremost, the legitimate owners of the territory, where they are and from where they were violently uprooted from. Recently, the Honduran press published the claims of these groups that they are being persecuted and threatened with death by the military, ranchers and landowners whom they also accuse of stealing their land, which were inherited by family rights. The Indians also claim that the paramilitaries and civil authorities are acting as accomplices with the landowners, and that the current government does not protect them in their struggles for land and better living conditions.

ORGANIZACION INTERNACIONAL DEL TRABAJO Equipo Técnico Multidisciplinario (ETM) UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLE October 1994 The United Nations Development Programme UNDP and Indigenous Peoples Although UNDP has long been associated with concerns and issues of indigenous peoples, recent developments, in particular general acceptance of the concept of sustainability and renewed emphasis on basic needs and participatory approaches, have influenced and changed the direction of support. Of special importance in this context is the adoption by UNDP of the concept of sustainable human development. This is an approach to development that gives "the highest priority to poverty reduction, productive employment, social integration and environmental regeneration. It brings human members into balance with the coping capacities of societies and the carrying capacities of nature. It accelerates economic growth and translates it into improvements in human lives, without destroying the natural capital needed to protect the opportunities of future generations. It also recognizes that not much can be achieved without a dramatic improvement in the status of women and the opening of all economic opportunities to women. And sustainable human development empowers people-enabling them to design and participate in the processes and events that shape their lives." UN General Assembly resolution A/45/164 (1990), which proclaimed 1993 as the International Year of the World's Indigenous People and activities in preparation of the International Year further encouraged and shaped UNDP's assistance for indigenous peoples. In pursuance of this resolution and of resolution A/46/128, adopted on 17 December 1992 and the recommendations of the inter-Agency Technical Consultation Meetings on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples prior to the International Year and of the Specialized Agency Consultation with Indigenous Representatives on the occasion of the opening of the International Year for the World's Indigenous People on 11 December 1992, UNDP undertook various efforts to streamline its support for indigenous peoples and to involve them in the identification and implementation of projects that affect them:

History Honduras Written by: The Republic of Honduras is a comparatively large country in Central America. Its area is at 112,088 km2, and has about 13,000,000 people in which about 60% are literate. Honduras is the 2ed largest country in Central America. Their national holiday is their Independence Day and they celebrate this on the 15th of September, although it is not the only time they gained their independence, it is the only time they celebrate. The nation also escaped from the United Provinces of Central America. The capitol of this mainly Spanish and English speaking nation is Tegucigalpa. The history of the country begins when Columbus saw the country, but he generally stayed farther north. Spain began to settle the country in 1524. The two men in charge of the colony were Davila and Orid. The country was largely unprosperous until 1536 when Gold was discovered in the city of Gracias. The discovery of gold got new settlers to come and also created more demand for miners to mine the gold. The indigenous peoples were forced into this job. One year later in 1537 an uprising occurred and it was led by Lempira, who the national currency would be later named after. His base was on a hill known as Pe»ol de Cerqu¡n and successfully defeated all efforts to subdue him until the year 1538. In 1538 other native groups began following his example and started small uprisings. Lempira was ultimately killed while negotiating with the Spaniards. The fighting was greatly weakened but continued for 3 more years.

Contact Us You are in: Home News Stories News Stories Americas: Indigenous peoples Second-class citizens in the lands of their ancestors 11 October 2002 Ten years ago, on the 500th anniversary of the arrival of the first Europeans in the American continent, the descendants of the continent's indigenous peoples vocally reclaimed their rights and identity. Today, they remain among the most marginalised and poorest communities, discriminated against and often exposed to grave abuses of their fundamental rights, Amnesty International said today. The statement came on the eve of the day known as Columbus Day, Día de la Raza or Native American Day in which several countries in the Americas celebrate the continent's multicultural heritage. "More than half the countries on the continent recognize the multicultural character of the state and guarantee indigenous rights in their constitutions and legislation. However, this is in stark contrast with the reality faced by the vast majority of indigenous people from Canada, through Central America, down to the very tip of Chile and Argentina, who are often treated as second-class citizens," Amnesty International said. "Basic rights of indigenous communities, including the right to land and to cultural identity in the use of language, education and the administration of justice are systematically violated in a variety of countries," the organization added.

We are now in the Decade of Indigenous Peoples, and as the governments must assume not only respect for the human rights of indigenous peoples, but also help them to attain peace and consult them on every activity, the government of Honduras should act in a different way - if not it will not only be repudiated by the indigenous and black peoples of Honduras, but all the world. We therefore request you to intercede immediately and directly for the restitution and legal recognition of the territorial rights of the indigenous people of Maya-Chorti of Honduras, as well as the immediate liberation of our brother Isauro Acevedo who has been detained in prison on the instructions of the landowners of COPAN, Ruinas.

Although most of Mexico is geographically considered part of North America and although there have been cultural contacts between Mexican groups and the Pueblo of the SW United States, the cultural development of most of Mexico belongs, in fact, to that of Middle America. In the southern portion of the valley of Mexico and in the jungle region of YucatAn, ancient Mexico reached its highest cultural achievements. The Maya had links with the Chorotega of Nicaragua and Honduras, and these in turn had contacts with the Chibcha of Colombia, thus establishing a Central American cultural chain between the civilizations of Mexico and those of the Andean region. Highly developed civilizations flourished in Mexico after the domestication of corn and the rise of agricultural communities; the Olmec , the Maya, and the cultures of the central plateau, TeotihuacAn, Toltec Mixtec Zapotec and Aztec , developed architecture, agriculture, the use of stone : and sometimes of metal : to a high, often remarkable, degree.

Defenders of the forests AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Press Release Americas: Indigenous people at high risk of human rights violations AI Index: AMR 01/008/2001 Publish date: 09/08/2001 As the world marks the International Day of the World's Indigenous People, native peoples continue to be the victims of human rights violations including killings and "disappearances" in many parts of the Americas, Amnesty International said today. "Intimidation, harassment and violent attacks against indigenous communities are frequent occurrences in countries including Honduras, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico and Venezuela," the organization added, calling on governments throughout the region to ensure the rights of indigenous people are fully respected. In Colombia, indigenous communities find themselves increasingly caught up in the spiralling civil conflict and are targeted for attacks and killings both by army-backed paramilitaries and armed opposition groups accusing them in turns of collaborating with the other side. Violence and threats against indigenous populations often take place in the context of disputes relating to the lands they live on and to the exploitation, by national and multinational companies, of natural resources on indigenous territories.
