back to speeches Opening Ceremony- Translated from Spanish In the first place we must know that there cannot be a negotiation if there is not more of an egalitarian, relationship in the world and that there is a parity regarding political strength. Political will is the starting point to reaching a negotiated peace in the world. My experience as a witness of the genocides which occurred in Guatemala, I have learned that there is not such thing as a just war. No war is just. The experience from Guatemala has also shown us that there is no truth within a war situation. One has to finish the war first, and then the truth comes out. The truth of war is painful because women are raped, children are killed, and turmoil occurs in the civil society. This truth cannot just be shared amongst the people directly involved in the conflict. This truth is a truth for all. Everyone must learn this truth. Therefore, the peace cannot be kept only in the hands of those who are undertaking conflict. The peace process must be broadened. Because the parties undertaking war both want to win the war, we cannot wait for a win

La historia ha mostrado que los pequenos logros que hemos obtenido los indigenas hasta ahora, han sido el resultado de nuestras luchas permanentes. Trabajar en la busqueda de soluciones a los graves problemas que afectan a cada uno de nuestros paises, es contribuir a la construccion de la democracia participativa, la construccion y mantenimiento de la paz, asi como la prevencion de conflictos. Habiendose registrado algunos avances en relacion a la problematica de los pueblos indigenas del mundo en el ambito internacional, es lamentable que sea en los paises en los que cada uno de ellos se asienta donde los indigenas encontremos los mayores obstaculos y la mas ferrea oposicion a que se le encuentre solucion a nuestros problemas.

For subscription information, E-Mail to nacla-info@igc.apc.org An Interview with Rigoberta Menchu By NACLA editors, May/June 1996 Rigoberta Menchu Tum, a Quiche Maya, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992 in recognition of her work on behalf of indigenous peoples and poor ladinos in Guatemala. With the prize money, she established a foundation in her name to continue the same work. In early 1994, she returned to Guatemala after 13 years in exile in Mexico. In anticipation of the December, 1995 national elections, her foundation launched a National Campaign for Civic Participation, a non-partisan effort to encourage women and indigenous people to vote. Her decision not to take sides in the election angered some in the Guatemalan left, with whom she had collaborated in the 1980s. Menchu was interviewed in February in the foundation's New York offices by the NACLA editors. What motivated you to return to Guatemala in 1994?

Rigoberta Menchu Tum (Guatemala) Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (1992) for work with Central American Movement for Indigenous People and Refugees Guatemala The Republic of Guatemala is in Central America and gained independence from Spain on September 15, 1821. It is a Constitutional Democratic Republic and its current president is Alvaro Arzu Irigoyen. From the mid-19th century and through the mid 1980s, the country was ruled by a series of dictatorships, often opposed by various guerilla groups. Guatemala's first democratic elections were held on July 1st, 1984. The majority of the people in Guatemala are descendants of Mayan Indians. The most widely practiced religion is Roman Catholicism, however Protestantism and traditional Mayan religions are practiced as well "by an estimated 30% of the population." Although the majority of the people of Guatemala are indigenous, Spanish is the official language and is not necessarily understood by the indigenous population.

Centre for Research on Globalisation home print version Rigoberta Menchu's Open Letter to G. W. Bush by Rigoberta Menchu Tum Nobel Peace Prize, Goodwill Ambassador for the Culture of Peace Posted at globalresearch.ca 26 September 2001 To Mr. George W. Bush President of the United States of America Washington DC, USA. Your Excellency, Mr. President: In the first place, I want to reiterate to you the solidarity and condolences I expressed to all your people on Tues. Sept. 11 when I became aware of the painful occurrences that had taken place in your country, as well as to share my indignation and condemnation of the threats these acts of terrorism constitute. In recent days I have been following the evolution of events, using my best efforts so that the response to them would be reflection, not obsession; prudence, not rage; and the pursuit of justice, not revenge. I invoked the consciousness of the world's peoples, the communications media, the eminent personalities with whom I share an ethical commitment to peace, the heads of state and leaders of international bodies, in order that prudence illuminate our acts. Nevertheless, Mr. President, upon listening to the message you gave to the Congress of your country, I have been unable to overcome a sensation of fear for what may come of your words. You call upon your people to prepare for "a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen" and for your soldiers to save their honour by marching to a war in which you intend to involve all of us, the peoples of the world.

Pico Union, a community which symbolizes the diversity of the the most diverse city in the world, and also one of it's poorest. Los Angeles has been called a true "metropolis," the city of the next century by urban planners and sociologists. It was within this setting that the Tibetan Cultural and Community Service Center of Southern California (TCCSC) held what can be called one of the most unique nights in the Tibetan struggle. For one night, the Tibetan and Mayan communities met in Southern California. What the neighborhood lacked in riches, it more than made up in a wealth of warmth and hospitality - inviting the Center and the Tibetan community to it's community. And the synergy created that night was enough to carry on and

Uzori Kao prva pripadnica naroda Indigo i najmlađa sveštenica Rigoberta Menčú iz Guatemale dobila je 1992. godine Nobelovu nagradu za mir. Dodelivanje nagrade Quiché-Indijanki bilo je sve drugo, do kontroverzno. Njen odnos prema nasilnom otporu u njenoj domovini, koja se ubraja u tešku bilancu koje čine zemlje sa povredama ljudskih prava, za neke kritičare nije bio dovoljan. Uspeh njene autobigorafije "Yo, Rigoberta Menchú" koja se pojavila 1983. godine, ne samo da je skrenuo pažnju svetske javnosti na svakodnevne povrede ljudskih prava u njenoj zemlji, nego je napravio i jedan veoma važan događaj na putu priznavanja prava indigo-narodima širom sveta. Život i delo Citati i govori Pozadina Materijali ... Linsta linkova Citat "Rigoberta Menčú se kako u svojoj sopstvenoj zemlji, tako i na američkom kontinentu, pa i svuda u svetu zalaže za mir i pomirenje, prelazeći etničke, kulturne i socijalne linije razdvajanja."

Live Webcast, February 18, 1999! Click here for a printable version of the whole transcript. Abeja: Her life has been dedicated to bringing peace and justice to her country, Guatemala, which has been ravaged by a civil war for 36 years. Rigoberta: Thank you. Jamila: The first question is from the organization I*EARN. They would like to know: How has the struggle for your people changed since it began? "I would say that it has changed many things, above all, because there existed an armed conflict here in Guatemala that had high costs." more... Abeja: Earthharmony asks: How can we help the indigenous people in Central America from our homes in the United States? "Well, what you are doing is a way of helping in that you are not just sharing with us the good experiences that we have but also that people can know about our truth, our history." more... Jamila: Now we have a question from Jeff in the state of Idaho. He wants to know in what project or work are you concentrating now and how can children help you and support you in this project? "Well, I believe that the biggest thing we are doing now is reconstructing Guatemala. We are relocating the refugees who were in Mexico, who are returning to Guatemala, we have built some houses, we have built some schools."

53. Latin America Trek: Rigoberta Menchu Tum Chat Transcript So I’m involved in these projects and I can t be in Guatemala all the time becausemy role goes beyond that. Back to rigoberta menchu tum Chat Transcript. http://www.worldtrek.org/odyssey/latinamerica/rigoberta/transcriptsubpg7.html

Live Webcast, February 18, 1999! Question: Now I have a question from Prospect High School: They want to know what is the conflict between you and the government of Guatemala. Well I think it's not exactly a conflict between the government and myself. I'm not subject to any political party I respect all the parties, I'm not a part of the government. I've maintained my autonomy as a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, as an indigenous woman, but also as president of the Menchu foundation. I have worked to build the foundation, and for it or myself, never to be an instrument of the state. We have some very specific plans and we have our own agenda, from working with international organizations, like the UN, and also an agenda within Guatemala. This is the role of a Nobel Prize recipient. I have decided not to be a government employee and I think I will work like that in the future. Therefore, I hope that with the new Guatemalan government we’ll have better coordination, better compatibility, but I do not expect to be an employee of the new government. This is very important because, from time to time, people will ask if I will be a presidential candidate, and that, I will not do. I have my own mission for which I am very happy. Within the next month we are working on our agenda for the year 2000, for how to implement the International Year of the Culture of Peace. This International Year of the Culture of Peace must transcend borders and involve all nations, so we can together study a new possibility for creating peace and a new possibility for how to create peace in the world. So I’m involved in these projects and I can't be in Guatemala all the time because my role goes beyond that.

Menchu was labeled a communist and several attempts on her life and her associates' lives were made by Guatemalan authorities when she began working through the Committee of Peasant Unity and speaking on behalf of her people nearly two decades ago. Menchu used political tactics and social work to lessen discrimination against Guatemalans of non-Spanish descent who were denied citizenship by the military-led government the same government that killed her brother, father and mother. Menchu's brother Petrocinio, was kidnapped and burned by military soldiers in 1979 while the family watched. In 1980, Menchu's father, Vincente, was among 39 Indian leaders who died in a fire at Guatemala's Spanish embassy while protesting human rights violations. In a separate incident, her mother, Juana, also a human rights advocate, was raped, tortured and killed one year later.
