Best Practices on Indigenous Knowledge MOST CIRAN HONDURAS BP.26 TITLE Participatory Research Mapping (PRM). Using maps of indigenous land-use patterns to help indigenous peoples claim land rights. DESCRIPTION The practice helps indigenous hunter-gatherers draw their own maps of the lands and resources required for their subsistence. The aim is to help indigenous people communicate their need for land to government authorities through their spatial knowledge of the landscapes and ecosystems they inhabit. We encourage people to draw progressively more complex maps of the sites and areas used for their subsistence. Projects in Honduras and Paraguay are described in this report. In Honduras, the project was co-ordinated by MOPAWI, a local NGO, and several indigenous organisations. The project aimed at developing a clearer understanding of indigenous land-use patterns so that an appropriate strategy could be designed to legally reclaim historic land rights. The project was funded by Cultural Survival. Indian 'surveyors' designed a questionnaire, which they then administered to all villages in the eastern Honduras region (population 40,000). The data was gathered through public meetings, and included oral and graphical descriptions of the sites and areas used by villages for their subsistence. The surveyors gathered the information, and professional researchers used the information to draw up 1:50,000 scale maps of the region. Circles were drawn around the sites identified to show the approximate extent of lands used. Village-level data was grouped into zones, and the resulting map was published at a scale of 1:500,000. The researchers included a vegetation overlay on the map to highlight the relationship between land-use and the landscape’s ecology.

Homepage About PAHO Data Topics ... Search Health of indigenous people: a challenge for public health Washington, DC, August 15, 2002 (PAHO) Although the term indigenous people in the Americas is widely used, that generalization encompasses more than 400 different ethnic groups, with different beliefs and different health practices. This diversity presents a challenge for public health in the Americas, where indigenous peoples are among the most excluded. The response of the Pan American Health Organization is its Health of Indigenous Peoples Initiative, started in 1993, which signifies a commitment by PAHO and its Member States to work with indigenous peoples to improve their health and well being. It is also a recognition of the value and need to conserve indigenous cultural heritage and knowledge. Photos available. Click here Serious health and social problems still exist for the estimated forty-three million indigenous peoples living in the Americas. Recent studies have indicated that these peoples are among the most poor and disadvantaged, and each of the more than 400 ethnic groups "has its own beliefs and practices with regard to health, as well as their own community resources for health promotion, disease prevention or cure of common ills," explains Dr. Sandra Land, PAHO's regional adviser in local health services. The initiative for health of indigenous peoples was launched due to the inequalities that existed in health status and in access to basic services between those communities and other social groups. Indigenous communities have higher rates of avoidable mortality and morbidity and lower life expectancy at birth, and many of them do not have regular access to essential health care due to economic, geographical, or cultural barriers.

Indigenous People of Honduras Population (1998 est.): 410,000, which is 7% of Honduras=s total population of 5.862 million. (Group and country populations compiled from various sources.) Click here to view General Chronology Risk Assessment Analytic Summary The majority of indigenous people in Honduras are Miskito Indians, who live in the southeastern section of Honduras (GROUPCON = 3). Other groups include the Xicaques, Torrupan, Lenca, Chorti, and the Indians of El Paraiso, which reside in the higher elevations of western Honduras. The Paya and Sumu live in the same region as the Miskitos; some of their tribes have integrated with the Miskitos. Major Miskito, Sumu, and Paya settlements are located on the Caribbean coast from Rio Platono to Gracias a Dios. These groups have experienced the most isolation of all the indigenous groups in Honduras. Miskito Indians speak the Miskito language (LANG = 1) and English (due to the influence of British settlers); they are predominantly Protestant (RELIGS1 = 3). Miskitos often work as migratory or agricultural laborers; Miskito men generally travel away from home for seasonal work. Residing along the coast, Miskitos also fish as a form of employment. The Miskitos are the poorest sector of society (ECDIS00 = 3) and still rely upon inadequate health care and educational facilities (DEMSTR99 = 12). While other Indians have integrated into urban sectors of Honduras, the Miskitos have remained primarily coastal and rural, lacking an urban center in Gracias a Dios, majority indigenous department founded in 1957.

86. AllRefer Reference - Honduras - Other Non-Ladino Groups | Honduran Information R In the northern coasts of honduras and Nicaragua, unions of indigenous people andthe African and British immigrants produced a racially mixed group known as http://reference.allrefer.com/country-guide-study/honduras/honduras64.html

You are here allRefer Reference Honduras History ... Honduras Honduras Other Non-Ladino Groups The non-Hispanic (nonladino) groups in Honduras consist of the Black Carib, the Miskito, the black population in the Islas de la Bahía, and a sizeable number of Arab immigrants. The Black Carib (also known as Garifuna in Belize and Guatemala) settled in the early 1800s in coastal villages along the Caribbean. Originally descendants of freed black slaves and native Carib from the island of Saint Vincent in the Caribbean, they arrived in Honduras when they were deported from Saint Vincent by the British in 1797 and resettled in the Islas de la Bahía off the coast of Honduras. From there, they moved to the mainland coast of northern Honduras. Their language, which they continue to speak, is a Carib-based creole. Their cultural practices are similar to those of the Black Carib who live in Belize and Guatemala. Interestingly, although the Miskito and Black Carib peoples have similar racial origins, the Miskito are generally considered by Hondurans to be indigenous people, whereas the Black Carib are generally considered to be black. This difference in ethnic identification is probably a reflection of the different cultures of the two groups; Black Carib culture retains more African elements in its folklore, religion, and music than does the culture of the Miskito. The Miskito and Black Carib peoples have traditionally been economically self-sufficient through subsistence agriculture and fishing. In the early 1990s, the men, however, were often forced to seek supplementary income by working outside their own regions. Thus, Miskito and Black Carib men often spend long periods separated from their families.

URGENT ACTION NEEDED!! HONDURAN GOVERNMENT THREATENS TO IMPRISON INDIGENOUS LEADERS FOR ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST A STATUE OF COLUMBUS! On October 12, 1997, Dia de la Hispanidad (Columbus Day), 505 years after which Christopher Columbus discovered America, members of the Civic Counsel of Indigenous and Popular Organizations (COPIN) disfigured the statue of Columbus covering it with red paint, a symbolic amount of their own blood, painting messages deploring the genocide and ultimately pulled the statue off its base, breaking it as it fell. This date also commemorates six months since the assassination of Indigenous Chorti leader Candido Amador Recinos, whose assassins have never been brought to justice. While the Honduran government officials have launched a full fledged campaign in the press against the leaders of COPIN and threaten them with six years imprisonment, a hefty fine and restoration, the same officials have remained complicitly silent in the case of Candido Amador Recinos and the thirty seven (37) other indigenous and black activists who have been murdered in the past few years. The attack is clearly political. Jailing Indigenous leaders under the pretext of vandalism, poignantly illustrates their belief that a statue has more value than the life of a human being. Twenty-two hard fought government promises were won this year in May during the fifth pilgrimage, when thousands of Indigenous people occupied the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa. These include the promise to deliver 22,000 acres to the Chorti people, an investigation into the murder of Indigenous leaders and increased security. A permanent resistance was mounted in Tegugucigalpa during the months of July and August to press for recognition of their human rights and completion of the accord signed in May. Unfortunately, they were unable to obtain fulfillment of any of the promises. To this date, not one acre of land has been delivered, the assassins of Recinos enjoy amnimity and Indigenous leaders continue to receive death threats and intimidation by wealthy landowners and government officials.

by Ron Mader La Mosquitia Guide to La Mosquitia: A Guide to the Land of Savannas, Rain Forests and Turtle Hunters We are fortunate to be witnessing the start of a golden age in ecotourism publishing. No longer are readers seeking just the where-to-eat and where-to-sleep info. Travelers are demanding specific information on biosphere reserves and national parks. Canad ian authors are finding a special niche in this industry with the publication of two fabulous books on ecotourism in the Americas. La Mosquitia: A Guide to the Land of Savannas, Rain Forests and Turtle Hunters by Derek Parent, Intrepid Traveler Publications, 1995, $14.95 La Mosquitia provides the detailed information that is otherwise nowhere to be found in mainstream guidebooks on Central America. This beautiful region is also one of the most inaccessible in Honduras. That notwithstanding, tourism is shooting upwa rds, providing trekers and river enthusiasts with a destination beyond their wildest dreams. Parent has spent the last three years on this project and intends on continuing to document the natural resources and indigenous peoples of the area. His commitment to locally-controlled ecotourism and the protection of both land and people illuminate an often-mentioned but rarely described region in this exemplary book. Detailed maps provide travelers with information again found nowhere else. Printed in large scale, they are second to none. Suggested itineraries provide an array of routes into the region. Want to go by cargo boat? You might have to wait three weeks. Your options include hiking along the beach or arranging to fly into Palacios, where local Miskito Indians can arrange a tour into the famed Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve.

Munguia says a principal concern is the 62-mile road that would be built to the site of the first, 270-megawat dam. The fear is that the road will encourage land-hungry farmers to settle in the area, where they will slash and burn forests to plant subsistence crops.

In fact, Honduras makes more money exporting its people to work abroad than it does on traditional exports of bananas or coffee. The gross family remittances from Hondurans living abroad (mostly in the United States) rose 27 percent to $700 million in 2002, making family remittances the country's main source of foreign currency. One of the poorest countries in Latin America, Honduras has a per capita income of US$920 (2002). According to the World Bank, nearly two-thirds of Hondurans (63.3 percent) live in poverty, and close to half (45.2 percent) are extremely poor. In an effort to combat poverty and unemployment, Honduras has opened up its economy to the maquiladora sector (foreign-owned assembly plants for export), which is the third-largest in the world, employing 110,000 Hondurans (out of a total population of 6.5 million).
