Extractions: Bolivia: Indigenous peoples' forests menaced by oil exploration Bolivia hosts 440,000 sq.km of rainforests, which represent 57% of the lowlands total surface in the country. Deforestation rate reaches 168,000 hectares/year, being the promotion of export crops and logging concessions wantonly granted the main causes of this problem. Environmental NGOs have frequently expressed their concern over the situation of the forestry sector in Bolivia, characterized by the disrespect to indigenous traditional territories and the inefficiency of the government to adequately address the problem (see WRM Bulletin 22). Oil exploration and exploitation is also a depredatory activity affecting Bolivian forests and forest peoples. It has recently been denounced that the company Repsol (mainly composed of Spanish capitals) has entered the Multiethnic Indigenous Territory in the Amazon Forest to perform topographic measurements prior to the drilling of the Eva Eva well. Inhabitants of the town of San Ignacio de Moxos have said that Repsol has already advanced 90 kilometres into the forest, using a road previously opened by loggers. Once more such roads are the way to further destruction of the forest. The Multiethnic Indigenous Territory is not a void space. Indigenous peoples -Trinitary, Mojeño and Chimán- live there. Since Repsol does not count on the necessary environmental license to operate, this action is but an invasion of the indigenous territory. Eva Eva, at Beni Province, is the first well the company aims to drill. The second one is the Samusabeti well, which will affect an area inhabited by the Quichua and Aymara indigenous peoples, already hit by repression against illegal plantations. In relation to the Isiboro well, at Isiboro Sécure National Park, the environmental impact assessment presented by Repsol was severely observed by the environmental authority because the special features of that protected area had been ignored.
Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z A Related Category: South American Indigenous Peoples Aymara I Pronunciation Key , Native South Americans inhabiting the Lake Titicaca basin in Peru and Bolivia. The originators of the great culture represented by the ruins of Tiahuanaco were very likely Aymara speakers. Although subjugated by the Inca in the 15th cent. after a long struggle, the Aymara continue to dominate the region, with a population of over 2 million in the mid-1990s. The Aymara languages make up a separate unit; they are spoken in Peru and Bolivia in the Titicaca region. The Aymara, conquered (1538) by Hernando and Gonzalo Pizarro, retained their pastoral and agricultural culture. In general, social organization was, and still is, based on the patrilineal family unit. Contemporary Aymara and the related Quechua peasant culture is a blend of aboriginal, Spanish colonial, and modern elements. See H. Osborne
Extractions: Peru Peru The word indio , as applied to native highland people of Quechua and Aymara origin, carries strong negative meanings and stereotypes among non-native Peruvians. 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. Peruvian society ascribes to them a caste status to which no one else aspires. 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 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.

Extractions: News and Public Information Press Release Washington, D.C., August 9, 2004 (OPS) August 9 marks the celebration of the International Day of the World's Indigenous People. It is a day to look at ways to improve the lot for the indigenous so they can enjoy greater well-being. The indigenous population of the Americas represents 6.7 percent of the total population. PAHO's publication Health in the Americas estimates the indigenous population between 45 million and 50 million. This diverse population speaks 745 different languages. Some 90 percent of them are in Central America and the Andean region. In the United States, the indigenous population is 1.6 million people, and in Canada less than half a million. The countries with greatest indigenous population are Bolivia, Guatemala, Peru, and Ecuador, with proportions that go from 40 percent to 70 percent.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES RIGHTS IN CHILE The lack of legal acknowledgement and protection of aymara lands has generated indigenous peoples RIGHTS UNDER DEMOCRACY PROGRESSES AND CONTRADICTIONS. http://www.xs4all.nl/~rehue/art/ayl2.html
Extractions: Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, B.C., March 19-21, 1998. Chile has historically denied its ethnic and cultural diversity. The country's ruling class has been able to build and internalize in the minds of the people the idea that ours is a racially homogenous society, basically of European origin. This idea, which for centuries has been promoted through different means, including family, school, and literature, became dominant during the republican period, giving birth to the myth, still believed by many, of the Chileans as being the "English of South America". The few recognitions that were made regarding indigenous peoples' dealt with their past, not with their present. The image of the brave Mapuche who resisted the Spaniard conqueror due to their libertarian spirit, became socially accepted and promoted. Consistent with these ideas, until recently their current population was perceived by many as remaining pockets of the so called "Araucanian indians", living in small areas of lands or "reducciones" which were left to them after their territory was occupied by the army at the end of the last century.

The course focuses on three regions: the Maya highlands of Guatemala and Southern Mexico; the Andes of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia; and the South American Amazon and Chaco. Indigenous cultural and political issues will be discussed in relation to non-indigenous Luso-Hispanic societies and longer histories of Latin American nation-building. Indigenous peoples¹ demands for territorial, cultural, and political rights are now intertwined with international development and natural resource exploitation; global debates on citizenship; state processes of militarization and/or democratization; and the redefinition of nation-states as ³multi-ethnic² or ³plurinational² entities. Our ethnographic texts are selected to give us an understanding of the different ways that anthropologists have studied, worked with, and even become advocates for, indigenous peoples of Latin America.
