"Tropical Jungle"
Casilda Pinche Sanchez

a young artist and teacher at the Amazon Project Author's note As a very young child growing up in western Michigan, my knowledge of South America began with a terror of the huge snakes in her vast jungles I often had nightmares of being crushed by an enormous boa constrictor. I would awake, barely able to breathe. South America terrified me. Yet in the 8th grade I read Hudson's Green Mansions and fell in love with Rima, the bird-girl, who moved with such grace and beauty through the trees. After that, South America was equally nightmare and ecstatic wonder, snake and magical bird, death and life, breath-stopping constriction and utter freedom. As a young adult, I slowly made my peace with the great snakes in my psyche, as well as in the rain forests. But the nightmare didn't end. From the 1960's onward, I became painfully aware that the habitat of those snakes and birds was being destroyed, mile by mile, inch by inch, as the rain forests vanished along with rare flowers, herbs, trees, and countless species. Today, as a crone, when I think of South America, I think first of the Rain Forests and my heart constricts exactly as if an anaconda were crushing me, but there's no anaconda now, there's something far worse an awareness of the fragile beauty being destroyed. If we, as a species, destroy the jungle's medicinal plants that might cure our worst diseases, a cynic might argue that that's

    Introduction Today, talking about Indigenous peoples in Brazil means to recognize basically that: (1) in the lands colonized by the Portuguese, where later a country called Brazil would exist, there were already human populations; (3) certain groups of people who live in present-day Brazil are historically connected to these early peoples; (5) like any other human group, Indigenous peoples have cultures that result from the history of the relationships among themselves and between them and the environment; a history that, in their case, has been (and continues to be) dramatically altered by the reality of colonization;
    Indians, Amerindians
    Generically, the Indigenous peoples that live not only in Brazil but also in the entire American continent are called Indians. This name is the result of a historical mistake made by the first Europeans who arrived in America, who thought they had reached India. The continuous use of the word, even by the Indians themselves, has made it a synonym of an Indigenous person in Brazil.

    General Essay on the Religions of Latin America
    The first contingent of humans arrived in North America from Asia during the glacial age which began some 40 thousand years ago. From North America they entered Central America sometime between 13 000 BCE and 7500 BCE spreading from there to South America. Relatively little is known about the inhabitants of Latin America during this period since our knowledge about them is based solely on excavations. However, despite the early arrival of people in Central and South America it was not until 2000 BCE that the first permanent villages showing some kind of social organisation appeared, leading to the formation of high civilisations and social stratification such as the Olmecs that flourished around 1300 BCE or the Mayas that appeared in the first millenium BCE. The settlements in Latin America varied immensely from one place to another. While societies such as the Inca of the Andes and the Maya, Olmec and Aztec of Central America developed a high level of culture, others kept a rather tribal structure. Generalisation about these cultures is, therefore, problematic. In spite of these differences it is possible to identify certain common characteristics in both high civilizations and tribal societies such as animism, a cult of ancestors and continuity between religion and political power. In some societies the mediation between the supernatural and the natural was done through a hierarchically organized body of priests, in other societies a more democratic kind of shamanistic practice was stronger.

    10 October 2001
    Dear Sir/Madam;
    We, the undersigned Indigenous peoples and organizations, would like to draw the attention of the General Assembly to questions related to the budget for the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
    Allow us to also draw your attention to the fact that Indigenous peoples worldwide (1) want the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues to have a Separate Secretariat; and (2) want the Secretariat of the Permanent Forum to be staffed by qualified Indigenous persons.
    Financing of the activities of the Permanent Forum:
    The success of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues depends very much on the financial arrangements for its activities. We hold the view, that it is crucial that the General Assembly, through the Regular Budget of the UN, provide the necessary financial resources for the functioning of the Forum, including the establishment of a separate secretariat. Moreover, we strongly encourage governments to support the functioning of the Permanent Forum through voluntary financial contributions.

    Colombia is the only country in south america to have Colombia, dividing the countryfrom north to south. indigenous peoples own 24% of the national territory.
    http://www.colombiaemb.org/colombia/
    Colombia
    Colombia is:
    Colombia is the size of Texas and California combined. Its 42 million people make it the third most populous country in Latin America. More than 70% of Colombians live in just 10 cities. Colombia is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the Western Hemisphere. The country has 85 different ethnic groups, creating a true melting pot of European, indigenous and Afro-Caribbean populations. Indigenous peoples own 24% of the national territory. Colombia has vast mineral and energy resources, which are being explored and developed for economic benefit. Colombia has over 37 billion barrels of oil potential and is currently the largest foreign provider of coal to the United States. Colombia is the fifth largest supplier of foreign oil to the United States.
    Why are most of the things you hear about Colombia so negative?
    The truth is that Colombia has "two faces." One is a country of extraordinary natural beauty and hard-working, warm and industrious people – people who succeed at growing some of the world’s finest coffee and fresh flowers, who are renowned artists, writers and musicians. Colombians have created a stable democracy and a strong, growing economy. They have courageously stood up to the violence and terrorism of guerrilla groups and drug traffickers. But Colombia is also a country with problems stemming from a complex and difficult history of violence. Colombia’s troubles can begin to be explained by the vast, underpopulated "frontier land" that characterizes the eastern and southern regions of the country. These are difficult to access and historically there has existed very little, if any, State presence in the form of public institutions, roads, schools and utilities. This creates a breeding ground for the international illegal drug trade that fuels Colombia’s situation today.

    196 people attacked and later displaced to Puerto Inirida. A tradicional medicine man dead and numerous other people afecte. Dwellings and indigenous cultural elements destroyed. The National Organization of Indigenous People of Colombia denounces the serious attack against the Puinave Nation presumably conducted by warplanes of the Colombian Air Force. The Puinave community occupies in the "resguardo" (reserve) of Laguna Cacao located in the departments of Guainia and Vichada. The community and the Guainia Regional Indigenous Council denounce the attack against 196 people (46 families). On February 12, at 6:15 pm, when men women and children were communally building a canoe in a beach of the Guaviare River, a warplane descended firing indiscriminately to people, dwellings, and belongings while another warplane served as an escort. The attack was repeated 9 times and ended at 7:05 pm. People in the community dove into the river to escape the attack and later dispersed into the jungle where they spent the night. While trying to hide in the river, medicine man SAMUEL BAUTISTA died and LORENZO PEREZ, CARLOS JULIO BAUTISTA, MIGUEL BAUTISTA y FABIOLA BAUTISTA were seriously injured.

    VOICE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
    Native People Address the United Nations
    Edited by Alexander Ewen
    Clear Light Publishers, 1994, 176 pages In their own way, each of the book's sections shed light on the global nature of the plight facing indigenous people: the disappearance of diversity and traditional ways of life, ecological degradation, repression of native rights movements, and the loss of vital knowledge about how to live in harmony with the environment. The statements made by the nineteen indigenous representatives describe these issues with examples drawn from their own cultures. Anderson Muutang Urud of the Kelabit tribe of Sarawak, Malaysia, points out that his people have lost their native forest lands to logging companies. "Our lives are threatened by company goons," he says. "Our women are being raped by loggers who invade our villages. While the companies get rich from our forests, we are condemned to live in poverty and eventual genocide." Davi Yanomami of the Yanomami tribe of the Amazon Valley describes the invasion of garimpeiros (gold miners) who not only ravage their lands but exploit his people and spread disease. Thomas Banyacya, a Native American Hopi elder, talks about the costs to his people of the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974 which mandated the removal of Navajos and Hopis from their native lands, ostensibly to resolve conflicting claims to land between the two groups, but largely as a result of pressure by mining and energy industries.

    Steve Cisler
    Board Member, Association for Community Networking Abstract:
    In the past, the Internet has been focused on North American written English, but this is changing rapidly. The spread of low cost equipment, cheaper connectivity, and new software tools has allowed ethnic groups, minority cultures, and institutions that support diverse populations and languages to use the Internet to link diaspora groups far from home, support language preservation efforts with online web sites, multilingual databases, and experiment with digital story-telling techniques that combine traditional methods with unusual uses of new media. The social organization needed to make use of this technology is a key concern for libraries that wish to play a supporting role in these innovative efforts.
