Arabic June 10, 2004 Indigenous Women Convene Summit in Mexico Run Date: 12/02/02 By Laurence Pantin WEnews correspondent A first-of-its-kind meeting will ask indigenous women what obstacles are in their way of good health and educational opportunitiesand how they think governments should address their needs. MEXICO CITY (WOMENSENEWS)Silvia de Jesus Maya never had the chance to go to school. Maya, a Mazahua Indian, started working when she was a girl, married when she was 14, and had the first of her four children when she was 16. It was only after living through police repression, stone throwers who mocked her traditional dress and the unsolved murder of her father by thieves in 1996 that she decided to learn how to read and write so that she could defend herself, her family and her people from discrimination. By then, she was 37 years old. Maya founded el grupo Mansion Mazahua, A.C. (the Mazahua House Group) in Mexico City, where indigenous women study together and advocate for education and housing for their communities. This week, 260 indigenous women like her are in Oaxaca, Mexico, to brainstorm about how to increase the political representation of Latin America's 25 million indigenous women and improve their health, literacy and treatment on the job. Mexico has no national plan that specifically addresses the problems of its indigenous women, says Alfonso Alem, executive director of the Rigoberta Menchu Tum Foundation, which organized this first Indigenous Women Summit of the Americas from Nov. 30 to Dec. 4. Indigenous women are directed to programs for women living in poverty, as if "poor" and "indigenous" are synonyms, Alem says.

Now there's evidence that the scope of destruction depends on who uses the land and water. A new map shows that natural ecosystems have a better chance of survival when indigenous people inhabit them. Mapmakers working with the Center for the Support of Native Lands, in Arlington, Virginia, and the National Geographic Society, in Washington, D.C., gathered data for 15 months for the landmark project. They superimposed a map of indigenous territories on another one showing forest cover and marine ecosystems. The new map reveals a strong correlation between indigenous presence and the survival of natural ecosystems. This project was funded in part by the National Geographic Committee for Research and Exploration More News Kids News The Environment Travel National Geographic Channel Special Series Emerging Explorers TravelWatch National Geographic Out There Oceans ... Pulse of the Planet The new map is part of an effort to bring the tools of cartography to indigenous cultures. Activists hope it could empower Central America and southern Mexico's native peoples to preserve their cultures and ancestral lands.

54. MEXICO: Indigenous Mexican Indians actions will now bring even more enmity from the existing Mexican government whathappened to Paola when her family supported the rights of indigenous peoples. http://wais.stanford.edu/Mexico/mexico_indigenousmexicanindians81302.html

Back to Index MEXICO: Indigenous Mexican Indians Linda Nyquist says: "The Indians probably are being used. The inspiration for their sit-in, which undoubtedly comes from a source outside the Indian community, has in a way given them a false sense of hope. There is no possibility whatsoever that they would be admitted to the US, and their actions will now bring even more enmity from the existing Mexican government. Frankly, if they agitate too much, and there are not a lot of foreign observers and/or archbishops to take their cause to the international level, their very lives may be in jeopardy. Look what happened to Paola when her family supported the rights of indigenous peoples. The idea of referring to these desperate Indians as engaging in a stunt is uncaring and morally reprehensible. I'd like all of these people to have to live in one of these Indian villages for a few months, eating the disgusting food and drinking the filthy water. And going to the bathroom you-know-where. Getting hookworm in their feet because I won't give them any shoes. Well, you get the picture". My comment: "Stunt" referred not to the Indians but to the people who are using them to embarrass President Fox.

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:

What is the Human bean Company Human Bean Catalog Mut Vitz Interviews ... Photo Gallery ORIGIN AND INTENT The Human Bean Company is a commercial enterprise that was started at the suggestion of the leaders of the autonomous indigenous communities in resistence in Chiapas, Mexico . The purpose of the company is, simply put, to develop direct markets in the United States for the products from the autonomous indigenous communities in Chiapas. The business of the company is conducted with the advice, consent and participation of the indigenous producers. All of our products are from Zapatista cooper atives. On a deeper level the company is an attempt to develop an alternative model of international commerce that is more just than the unrestrained capitalistic model being imposed worldwide by the United States. Their motto is "maximum return to the investors". Their model is imposed by force of arms and without the informed consent of the people and has wreaked havoc on the indigenous peoples and the poor of the world and immensely benefited the rich. Our motto is "Putting Human Values Before Profit Values"
