Indigenous people in South America - A political awakening New Message Reply About this list Date view ... Author view From: Berhane Habtemariam ( Berhane.Habtemariam@gmx.de Date: Fri Feb 20 2004 - 13:46:09 EST Indigenous people in South America A political awakening From The Economist print edition Reuters Poverty and a new ethnic politics have spawned radical Indian movements in the Andean countries. Are these a threat or a boost to democracy? LUCIO GUARACHI was born in a village on Bolivia's windswept Altiplano, some 4,000 metres (13,000 feet) above sea level. Of Andean Indian descent, he speaks Aymara as well as Spanish. Since he was ten, he has lived mainly in El Alto, an ever-expanding satellite city of 700,000 people whose self-built houses of bare brick or mud and corrugated iron straggle out into the Altiplano above Bolivia's capital, La Paz. He works, when there is work, in a small workshop making water pumps. Last October, he helped to overthrow an elected president. El Alto was the scene of battles between the army and well-organised protestors that ended with at least 59 dead and the resignation of President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, a pro-American mining magnate. The ostensible motive for the protests was a scheme by multinational companies to export liquefied natural gas from Bolivia to California via Chile. But was there another factor at work? Most of the protesters were of indigenous descent. The trigger for their action lay in an obscure incident in Pucarani, a small town near Lake Titicaca. Indian followers of Felipe Quispe, a militant peasant leader, had captured two cattle rustlers; invoking indigenous traditions of justice, they beat and killed them. When police arrested his lieutenant for the crime, Mr Quispe organised roadblocks. After protestors and police were killed, matters escalated.

Email DECLARATION OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF QULLASUYU - BOLIVIA ON THE PERMANENT FORUM FOR INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS The indigenous organisations of Bolivia: Also present at this meeting are representatives from other South American organisations, including Carmen Yamberla (FICI - Ecuador), Jesusa Valdivia, Rumimaki Departmental Federation (Puno - Peru), Aucan Huilcaman, All Territories Council (Mapuche - Chile), Maria Teresa Huentequeo, Women´s Association (Mapuche - Chile) and Marcial Arias (FPCI - Panama). During the meeting we examined how the idea of the Permanent Forum had progressed since it was presented in the Global Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993. We also shared information on the process of monitoring and participation which the indigenous representatives have undergone with the Permanent Forum. We were also informed of the resolution taken by the Human Rights Council, its ratification by the Economic and Social Council ECOSOC and its adoption by the United Nations' General Assembly. After having exchanged and analysed various points of view on the course the Permanent Forum is taking, the participating organisations identified their lack of participation in its progression. However, in response to this reflection we confirmed our resolve to participate in the process of making eligible indigenous representation as South America proposes and from this moment forth we will take an active role in the development of the Permanent Forum's activities.

Indigenous People in Argentina Population: 363,000 (1.0% of the total population 36,285,000) Click here to view General Chronology Risk Assessment Argentine indigenous groups have periodically protested their condition, though rarely directly confronting authorities, or in significant numbers (PROT90X = 2, PROT98X = 3). Only one instance was found 1999-2000, when protesters in the city of General Mosconi burned City Hall and destroyed stores and a bank, after National Guardsmen attacked their barricade. Analytic Summary There are 16 to 20 indigenous groups in Argentina which dwell primarily in the North of the country, bordering Bolivia and Paraguay. The larger groups are the Collas (35,000), the Chiriguanos (15,000), the Tobas (15,000), the Mapudungun (40,000) of the Chaco, the Guaranies (10,500) of Misiones, and the Wichi (25,000). Further South, about 36,000 Mapuches live in the province of Nequen and Tehuelches, bordering on Chile (GROUPCON = 3). There are also varying estimates of Quechua and Quichua speakers in Argentina depending upon seasonal employment. In the Tierra del Fuego, there are also some Selk'namgon people. Shamans are a very important part of indigenous religion throughout the country and traditional ceremonies and mysticism are practiced. There have been attempts to Christianize these populations and some missions for indigenous people exist, but their religious practices are a combination of traditional mystic ceremonies and Christian traditions.

Indigenous Assembly Condemns FTAA By Kintto Lucas Nov. 1, 2002 QUITO, Nov 1 (IPS) - The Continental Assembly of Peoples of the Americas, meeting Friday in the Ecuadorian capital, exhorted the region's governments to reject the Free Trade Area of the Americas, saying it will harm their cultures and the environment and deplete natural resources. In the final declaration of the indigenous meet, titled "Mandate from the Peoples", the delegates set new dates for "cultural-territorial resistance and affirmation" to fight the hemisphere-wide FTAA. The indigenous activists see the economic approach of the FTAA as the same that "was implemented in 1492, when the pillaging of our wealth and of our natural resources began," said Evo Morales, who was a presidential candidate in Bolivia's elections in June. "What they are seeking now is simply to deepen that model, which is based on free imports and is a policy aimed at concentrating wealth in the hands of a few," the Indian leader told IPS. The Continental Assembly of Peoples was held in Quito in parallel to the seventh FTAA ministerial-level conference, which drew foreign affairs and trade ministers from the 34 countries that are involved in creating the free trade zone all nations of North and South America and the Caribbean, except Cuba. The preparatory meetings that took place this week were surrounded by massive street protests, with violent police crackdowns dispersing some of the demonstrations.

Indigenous Women "Are you going to sing and dance?" asked an inquisitive journalist to a group of indigenous women from Latin America. They looked at him with fury and snapped: "We do not sing and we do not dance." Tarcila Rivera, a Peruvian indigenous woman of Quechua origin, explains: "We are of flesh and bone, like everybody else. We are not exotic and are much more than our traditional costumes. We have economic, political, cultural, gender problems, like all the women attending this Forum, she adds. We want to participate in politics, have a voice at the UN, use a computer." Indigenous women are annoyed that in the NGO Forum's program the plight of indigenous women is subsumed within ethnicity and culture. And no wonder. They have come to Beijing with a serious platform which has a lot in common with the demands of rural women, only that they suffer a double discrimination: as women and as indigenous people. Despite having made great strides in terms of organization and coordination at continental level, Latin America's indigenous women still feel marginalized and not understood by their Latin American sisters. They were disappointed, for example, at the token role they played during "diversity" workshops and celebrations in the Latin American and Caribbean tent.

Scott http://www.changemakers.net/library/temp/nyt033002.cfm http://www.atanarjuat.com/ This New York Times article discusses a landmark film from the traditional Inuit world. In standard histories of world cinema, the Inuit people of northern Canada figure mostly in connection with Robert J. Flaherty's "Nanook of the North," an epochal silent documentary made in 1922. Eighty years later, the voices of the Inuit can at last be heard on screen. "The Fast Runner (Atanarjuat)" directed by Zacharias Kunuk and based on an ancient folk epic, is the first feature film made in the Inuktitut language by an almost entirely Inuit cast and crew.... It's always interesting when a hitherto unrepresented corner of the world shows up on the screen. Part of the wonder of the movies, even at this late date in their history, lies in their ability to acquaint us with cultures and places far removed from what we already know. Notable Feature(s): A companion article on the community-based filmmaking process and company behind the film, one that maintains traditional cultural storytelling, consensus, and survival values even as it meets the challenges of modern production.

79. Update On Our Work In Bolivia The population of Bolivia is approximately 8.5 million people, of which a littleover half is indigenous from various ethnic groups with quechua and Aymara http://www.thp.org/bolivia/update404/

APRIL 2004 Update to the Global Board on our work in Bolivia This protest was organized by campesinos (rural farmers) at the office of the mayor in protest of indifference to their poverty, where they cried “Basta, basta, basta” (enough, enough, enough). Background The population of Bolivia is approximately 8.5 million people, of which a little over half is indigenous from various ethnic groups with Quechua and Aymara being the largest. Just under one-third of the population is mestizo , or of mixed lineage, and about 15 percent are white and primarily Spanish descendents. Indigenous groups in Bolivia have historically been geographically, socially and/or politically isolated. Their attempts to organize, protest and issue demands to the government have been often met with political and military resistance. Over the last few years in particular, campesinos (rural farmers who are disproportionately indigenous) have increasingly agitated via the few avenues they have to protest-utilizing roadblocks, occupational and hunger strikes, and organizing marches to gain attention from political leaders-a number of which resulted in violent clashes and deaths of campesinos. Despite the agitations, very little has changed in the marginalized and poverty stricken condition of the indigenous population or with the government’s response to their demands. The recent political upheaval in October 2003 that resulted in then-President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada resigning and fleeing the country indicates the instability and lack of confidence that pervades the current political climate.

The United Nations Global Teaching and Learning Project is drawing attention to this issue through a new project called Pumped Up for Peace, available on the United Nations Cyberschoolbus educational web site. Schools around the world are getting involved to help the native community of Santa Rosa de Huacaria by raising funds needed for them to build a natural filtration system using rocks and sand and a hygiene center with showers and bathrooms. In the process, the students are learning about indigenous knowledge and traditions, why past programmes sponsored by the government and NGOs failed and what actions native communities are taking today to improve the quality of their environment. In the same region of Peru, the UN project is working with an NGO, Bridges to Understanding, that is training indigenous youth how to use multimedia technologies. These youth will be working with mentors to make a short movie about changes occuring in their community. When completed, the movie will be broadcast on Cyberschoolbus for others to see.
