North America MEXICO: Indigenous People Are Pariahs in Capital, Say Officials By Diego Cevallos MEXICO CITY, Jun 23 (IPS) - Indigenous Mexicans living in Mexico City suffer from extreme poverty, racism and other difficult living conditions associated with a capital city that now boasts 20 million residents. They live in precarious conditions without any chance of securing a happier future, said Francisco Lopez, assistant director of the Office of Indigenous Migrants of the capital's federal district government. For many experts, the poor treatment of indigenous peoples in the capital - where one-fifth of all Mexicans live - is a sign of the country's racial problems. ''We are not exempt from racism in Mexico,'' affirmed Rodolfo Stavenhagen, a researcher at the College of Mexico. ''While we praise the achievements of ancient pre-Hispanic civilisations, we continue to discriminate against and exclude the native population, as well as Chinese and black people.'' One out of every 20 Mexico City residents is indigenous - that is, descended from Mexico's original inhabitants. The majority live ''in utter marginalisation, without services and with low levels of education,'' warned the state National Indigenous Institute (INI).

North America HUMAN RIGHTS: Mexico's Isolated Indigenous Prisoners by Diego Cevallos MEXICO CITY, Nov 18 (IPS) - More than 5,500 native people are behind bars in Mexico, a figure showing seven-years of programmes to improve this have been up against a tough challenge. For marginalisation and discrimination work against efforts to reduce the number of native inmates, declared the National Indigenist Institute (INI) Tuesday. These prisoners are all poor, speak little Spanish and have small hopes of getting a fair trial. Many of them have no previous criminal record and do not understand what they are charged with. Despite the monitoring of cases, legal advice and prevention campaigns, indigenous people still represent around six percent of those detained in the 438 national penitentiaries - a percentage similar to that of 1990. The constitutional clauses on indigenous rights and the secondary regulations in the legal field - including the right to be tried and defended in their own language - are effectively non- existent, said the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH).

Although this imposition was not completely effective, Spaniards either eliminated or incorporated the indigenous elite into the new colonial system, leaving the Maya-speaking population a relatively undifferentiated mass of rural peasants. Administrative centers, inhabited largely by Spaniards, were established in the 16th cent. at For the most part, the Maya region was peripheral to the Spanish American colonies because the lack of mineral wealth, the relatively sparse population, and the lack of land suitable for the cultivation of export crops. Taxes were collected through church tithes and through the encomienda system. Only in a few coastal regions of Guatemala and Chiapas were plantations established for the cultivation of coffee and sugar. But even these were difficult to maintain, owing to the prevalence of malaria and other tropical diseases in lowland areas and the difficulties involved in extracting labor from adjacent highland areas, where slowly increasing numbers of Maya led relatively autonomous lives.

Home Washington Office Issue Networks Update on Mexico: Indigenous Law Denounced The Mexican Congress recently approved a modified version of the Law on Indigenous Rights and Culture. It was proposed over five years ago as a result of peace talks between the Mexican government and the Zapatistas, but was never submitted to Congress for approval under former President Zedillo. President Fox made submission of the proposal to Congress one of his first acts upon taking office in December 2000. The law is intended as a constitutional amendment. The indigenous rights law was substantially modified from its original form, and indigenous rights groups across the country who had lobbied for passage of the original proposal have vehemently denounced the version approved by Congress, citing its failure to fulfill the basic rights of Mexico's 23 million indigenous people, the majority of whom live in severe poverty and lack adequate representation in the government. For hundreds of years, Mexico's indigenous peoples have been marginalized and isolated from the rest of society. The Zapatista rebellion in 1994, launched the issue onto the international stage.

Indigenous people: Challenges facing the international community Growing public interest in indigenous people and a long process of international negotiations involving indigenous organizations prompted the international community to proclaim 1993 as the International Year of the World's Indigenous People, and then the period 1995-2004 as the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People, to focus on issues of concern to indigenous people. In addition, 9 August has since 1995 been celebrated as the International Day of the World's Indigenous People. Each of these steps has been important in the struggle for the recognition of the rights of indigenous people. These steps are all the more meaningful with the forthcoming anniversary of a landmark human rights document adopted by the United Nations 50 years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration recognizes the inherent dignity of every human being and sets forth in detail the rights to be enjoyed by all "without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status". Within the framework of the World Public Information Campaign, launched by the United Nations in 1988, the Universal Declaration has been translated into more than 40 indigenous languages and widely disseminated among indigenous communities. The United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004) also focuses attention on the importance of human rights education for all, including indigenous people, in view of the problems encountered by indigenous communities.

Mexico's Indigenous poverty weapon mass destruction By Brenda Norrell Navajo Times July 10, 2003 OBREGON, Mexico Mexico's Indigenous are urging the international community to apply pressure to the government of Mexico to alleviate the suffering of its 10 million Indigenous people. "Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction," said Jose Garcia, Tohono O'odham from Mexico, after meeting with a United Nations representative. "The lack of education takes away the incentive of the people, they have no means to move forward," Garcia said. Rodolfo Stavenhagen, an Indian rights envoy for the United Nations, met with Indian governors and community leaders of the Yoreme (Mayo,) Yoeme (Yaqui,) O'op (Pima,) Makuray (Guarijios) and O'odham, in Obregon during his 16-day tour in June. The Indigenous leaders from the state of Sonora told the United Nations that there is corruption in the state and federal agencies, particularly in Mexico's Attorney General's office and Land Administration and Claims offices, which results in their loss of land and violence. Garcia said most Indian people in Mexico live without decent housing, clean drinking water or sufficient food in homes made of found items. Indians in villages seldom have the opportunity to attend school beyond the primary grades.

[Sustainers/content/articleleftcolumn.htm] June 11 Mexico's 'Modern Right' By Justin Podur In March, while they were on the March of Indigenous Dignity, on their way to Mexico City to press for the passage of the law on indigenous rights and culture, the Zapatistas berated the 'hardliners' in the government who called them terrorists and threatened to imprison them. They weren't cowed: they were already in prison, they said, so why fear jail? They were already dead, so why fear death? But they weren't impressed, either: 'Why are they so afraid of an unarmed march?' they asked. 'Haven't they noticed, we no longer call ourselves 'comrade', but 'brother' and 'sister'? If they want a modern left, they should learn to be a modern right.' It was too much to ask, of course. They had to threaten to leave before they got the chance, but the Zapatistas had their say in front of the Congress in the end. They argued for the cocopa indigenous law, crafted over years of negotiations and completed in 1996. The law features autonomy and free determination, indigenous peoples as 'subjects of public right', the free use of natural resources, election of municipal authorities, the right to regional association and organization, and autonomy in matters of justice. Those who argued against the law said it would 'balkanize' Mexico. It would institutionalize the exclusion of indigenous people.
