For that reason, the ardently populist Velasco regime attempted with some success to substitute the term peasant (campesino) to accompany the many far-reaching changes his government directed at improving the socioeconomic conditions in the highlands. Nevertheless, traditional usage has prevailed in many areas in reference to those who speak native languages, dress in native styles, and engage in activities defined as native.

The ingrained attitudes and stereotypes held by the mistikuna (the Quechua term for mestizo people) toward the runakuna (native peoplethe Quechua term for themselves) in most highland towns have led to a variety of discriminatory behaviors, from mocking references to "brute" or "savage" to obliging native Americans to step aside, sit in the back of vehicles, and in general humble themselves in the presence of persons of higher status. The pattern of ethnoracist denigration has continued despite all of the protests and reports, official policies, and compelling accounts of discrimination described in Peruvian novels published since the beginning of the twentieth century.

The pattern of ethnoracist denigration has continued despite all of the protests and reports, official policies, and compelling accounts of discrimination described in Peruvian novels published since the beginning of the twentieth century. The regions and departments with the largest populations of native peoples are construed to be the most backward, being the poorest, least educated, and less developed. They are also the ones with the highest percentages of Quechua and Aymara speakers. The reasons for the perpetuation of colonial values with respect to autochthonous peoples is complex, being more than a simple perseverance of custom. The social condition of the population owes its form to the kinds of expectations embedded in the premises and workings of the nation's institutions. These are not easily altered. Spanish institutions of conquest were implanted into colonial life as part of the strategy for ruling conquered peoples: the indigenous people were defeated and captured and thus, as spoils of war, were as exploitable as mineral wealth or land. In the minds of many highland mestizos as well as betteroff urbanites, they still are.

Home Newsroom In the Amazon Capacity building ... Ecuador Peru Home In the Amazon : Peru Peru view enlarged map In 2003, the Peruvian state granted the international oil industry carte blanche access to indigenous ancestral lands throughout almost the entire Peruvian Amazon. Indigenous titled territories and reserves including the last refuges of indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation are now within the reach of the international oil industry. U.S. oil companies are leading the race to the furthest corners of the Peruvian Amazon and U.S. government funds are being used for financing. For indigenous peoples who depend on fishing, hunting and forest products, this loss of control over ancestral territories threatens to end of traditional ways of life. Yet, the Peruvian government has failed to consult or inform them. Amazon Watch supports Peruvian indigenous organizations challenging oil and gas development projects imposed on their communities and territories without their prior consent in violation of their internationally recognized rights to defend their lands, determine their own development and live according to their own cultures. We seek to promote the national indigenous demand for an end to extractive industry operations within the lands of indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation. Current priority areas are: Active campaigns: Camisea Natural Gas Project (September 2003) Texas-based Hunt Oil – a company with close White House connections – is at the head of this huge gas project operating in the homelands of uncontacted peoples. Our tax dollars are funding indigenous rights violations after the Inter-American Development Bank gave the green light to financing. Amazon Watch demands that the Project withdraw from the Nahua- Kugapakori Reserve for isolated indigenous peoples.

APA.. Newsletter International News Peru Debates Law on Indigenous Peoples’ Intellectual Property Rights (IPS, Lima, Jan 12, 2000) The Peruvian government is drafting a law to protect indigenous rights over their ancestral knowledge in an attempt to prevent the history of plundering native wealth from repeating itself, as well as controlling the international exploitation of Peru's native plants. Indigenous communities will be the intellectual owners of genetic resources coming from plant species whose curative or nutritional values form part of their ancestral knowledge, according to the text of the legal bill. ''Peru is one of the countries with greatest biodiversity in the world and must begin utilising the competitive advantage this implies,'' commented Jorge Caillaux, president of the Peruvian Environmental Law Society, ''but it must protect its natural resources as well as the rights of Indigenous peoples.'' Among those participating in drafting the legal bill are representatives from indigenous communities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and officials from the ministries of Health, Industry, Agriculture and from the National Institute in Defence of Intellectual Property (Indecopi). ''For the first time in the world, a government is proposing to establish protection for the collective knowledge of indigenous peoples, a system to regulate research, production and marketing of genetic resources,'' said Beatriz Boza, of Indecopi.

A Call to Action! Indigenous Peoples Declaration Against the United States Invasion of Iraq Submitted to NativeNews by: Elsbeth Vocat Ottawa - Canada - (Posted on Apr-01-2003) The representatives of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas gathered during the second Annual Forum of Connectivity in Ottawa, Canada on March 24-26, 2003 and expressed the following: This genocide is a crime against humanity and violates international law as well as human and legal rights. This is a criminal invasion and it is killing innocent children, women and the elderly. It lacks any kind of legitimacy and cannot be justified as it violates all declarations to live in peace. It violates the self determination and sovereignty of peoples and the consensus reached by most states represented in the United Nations. The representatives of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas strongly request that all those responsible for these criminal acts be brought to the International War Crimes Court and be condemned internationally. We urge the United Nations to call for an emergency meeting of the Security Council to condemn the United States government, and its allies decision to go to war and we call for an immediate cease fire, while re-establishing diplomacy to end this conflict. Furthermore, we reject any new government imposed by the United States as it will only justify its presence in Iraq to protect its own geo- political and geo-economic interests.

In Guatemala , while 38 percent of all households are poor, 87 percent of indigenous households are poor.

Press Release SG/SM/9005 SECRETARY-GENERAL HAILS CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TO HUMAN CIVILIZATION IN REMARKS IN MACHU PICCHU, PERU Following is the statement delivered by Secretary-General Kofi Annan on indigenous peoples in Machu Picchu, Peru, on 12 November: I would like to thank you (President Toledo) and Eliane for bringing Nane and me here. And, throughout Latin America, one sees the extraordinary diversity of indigenous cultures and the potential contribution their knowledge and values can make to poverty eradication, sustainable agriculture, and indeed to our concept of life.  From here in Peru to the Philippines, and from the deserts of Australia to the ice-covered lands of the Arctic circle, indigenous peoples have much to teach our world. The international community can no longer tolerate this situation.  Nor should any society where it is happening.  I hope everyone will take the UNICEF report, as a call to action to promote the highest standard of health and nutrition, to guarantee multi-cultural education of high quality, and to give indigenous children a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. Indigenous peoples must be full partners in efforts to protect their children, just as they must participate in all decisions that affect their communities and the countries of which they are citizens.  Already, indigenous women are making a special contribution to these processes.  They must be allowed and encouraged to do more.
