    Extractions: Past Events Tue, 02/25/2003 - 12:40pm. In an unprecedented step toward a united front, indigenous peoples spoke in a collective voice to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). It was a good omen for all indigenous peoples in the Americas. For the first time, the IACHR devoted a general session exclusively to indigenous issues. The session allowed delegates from across the Americas to address common concerns, such as ancestral land and human rights. Usually, isolated indigenous groups bring their cases to the Commission on an individual basis, regarding specific cases. A special IACHR audience for indigenous rights made sense. The indigenous delegates were already in town for a meeting of the Organization of American States on the proposed American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

    Extractions: WORLDWIDE FOREST/BIODIVERSITY CAMPAIGN NEWS Forest Networking a Project of Ecological Enterprises June 11, 1995 Following you will find an urgent appeal from COMIN, a Brazilian indigenous organization, asking for international pressure to press the Brazilian government to stop dragging their feet on the demarcation of Indigenous Territory (abbreviated herein as TI). Specifically, the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, guaranteed by the Federal Constitution of 1988, are being abridged through a proposed decree to allow increased judicial appeals for invaders of indigenous lands. These lands have long been known to belong to indigenous peoples; and this legal ploy is more aimed at halting, or greatly reducing the extent of, a more rigourous legal demarcation of indigenous territory. Amazingly, this new appeals process is to be enacted retroactively, threatening the size and/or existence of 189 indigenous territories that have already been demarcated in Brazil. There are two excellent sample letters at the end which we appeal to you to take the time to expand upon and send.

    Extractions: Health needs of indigenous people stressed at Permanent Forum 16 May - The "acute health needs" of indigenous peoples cut across socio-economic boundaries, Permanent Forum member Mililani Trask today told the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues as it continued its discussion on the theme of health. Summarizing the statements of several participants, Ms. Trask (United States) said underlying causes of poor health for indigenous people included colonization, homelessness, poor housing, poverty, lack of reproductive health rights, domestic violence and addiction. Health care should be envisaged from an indigenous perspective, which encompassed mental, physical and spiritual health. There was a direct relationship between land use and indigenous health. Indigenous women and children had special needs, including expanding immunization and combating domestic abuse and addiction. In formulating the Forum's recommendations, Ms. Trask said Forum members should work with the United Nations Joint Programme on AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health Organization (WHO) and other United Nations agencies to ensure better coordination and delivery of health programmes for indigenous communities. United Nations agencies should identify focal points for indigenous issues within their secretariats. The call for a Global Plan of Action for Indigenous Health had not been heeded, and a second International Decade of the World's Indigenous people could help ensure a more integrated approach to health.

    Extractions: The indigenous peoples of Brazil have one of the most tragic histories of any of the world's peoples. Since the arrival of the first European invaders 500 years ago, they have seen their lands stolen, their traditions destroyed and their people murdered. More than 80 indigenous cultures have been wiped out in the Amazon since the beginning of this century. Only recently has real hope appeared for their future. In 1988, in its new democratic constitution, the Brazilian state finally agreed to recognize the rights of its indigenous peoples. 'Decree 22/91' guaranteed Brazilian Indians' permanent rights to lands traditionally occupied by them, and required that all these lands be 'demarcated' by 1993. Indians living in demarcated areas have the right to live, free from outside interference, according to their own customs and laws. Demarcation is not only a question of land rights, it is also one of the best ways to protect the Amazon rainforests. The Indians have the skills, the knowledge and the incentive to preserve the forests they have relied on for their livelihoods for thousands of years.

The Backgrounder provides cross curricular teaching and learning activities to explain Aboriginal marginalisation. Survival for Tribal Peoples is the only international organisation supporting tribal peoples worldwide. It was established in 1969 following an article in Britain's Sunday Times which revealed the massacres, land theft and genocide of the Brazilian Indians which took place in the name of 'economic growth'.

    Extractions: "Third Committee - Programme of Activities of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People" Statement by the Brazilian Delegation New York, 29 October 2001 Mr. Chairman, Indigenous communities constitute differentiated cultural groups whose dignity should be respected. The empowerment of such communities to exercise their rights and freedoms has proved be the best way to promote harmony in a national setting. We have learnt by experience that national societies benefit immensely from cultural diversity as a source of mutual respect and promotion of universal human rights. My delegation has repeatedly reaffirmed the Brazilian Government’s commitment to the promotion of the rights of indigenous peoples, which in Brazil amount to around 350 thousand individuals. Over 210 ethnic groups and about 170 different languages compose the extremely rich mosaic of indigenous cultures in Brazil. Contrary to what was predicted in the 50’s, the Brazilian indigenous population has not decreased over the years. In fact, we have witnessed a steady increase in the indigenous population, whose demographic recovery is due to not only higher birth rates but also higher life expectancy.

In this case, however, we cannot flee the mine."

    Extractions: BRAZILIAN RAINFORESTS - The New Threat Your Excellency, I am writing to express my concern about the demarcation of indigenous lands in Brazil, following your recent signing of Decree 1775. This new Decree, by allowing for challenges to demarcations, could represent the biggest single threat to Brazil's indigenous peoples, and their forest homes, for decades. Brazil's indigenous peoples are appealing for international help to protect their raditional lands. I urge you to immediately revoke Decree 1775, and to honor your constitutional commitment to demarcation. I know that you have publicly committed yourself to the demarcation process. I wish to express the strongest support for this commitment, and I very much hope that you will endeavor to complete the process by the end of your Presidential term in 1998. At the same time, I urge you to take whatever steps are necessary to protect all identified and demarcated indigenous lands from invaders, and to expel any loggers, miners or ranchers who are illegally occupying indigenous lands at the present time. By safeguarding the future of Brazil's indigenous people and their lands, you will be making a historic contribution to protecting cultural diversity, human rights and the natural environment, things which are of value not only to Brazil but to the whole orld. In doing so, you will have the support of concerned people everywhere.

    Extractions: the Brazilian Rain Forest Indigenous Lands Background Objectives Activities Participants ... The project in field: Involving indigenous peoples in land demarcation Background Indigenous people in the Amazon have long used the rain forest ecosystem without causing major environmental degradation. Their specialized knowledge and stewardship of natural resources are considered by many scientists to be exemplary and could provide a foundation for the development of more sustainable approaches to rain forest use and management. As a result of colonization, warfare, and disease, the number of indigenous people in Brazil has fallen from an estimated 8 million in the 1500s to about 300,000 today. In addition, there are believed to be 2,000 or more indigenous people living in isolated tribes who have not yet had any significant contact with Brazilian society. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, Brazilian law has accorded legal recognition to the rights of indigenous people to their lands, which constitute about 82 million hectares, or 16.4 percent of the Legal Amazon. Legalization of indigenous lands requires that they be formally identified, delimited, demarcated, decreed, and registered. When the Pilot Program’s Indigenous Lands Project was prepared in 1994-95, only 50 percent of 556 indigenous lands recognized by Brazil’s National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) had been legalized.

Throughout the first three months of this year, indigenous communities held demonstrations and drafted documents expressing their discontent over the health care model adopted for indigenous peoples in Brazil. The facts reveal a growing dissatisfaction with the outsourced model implemented by the federal government. In January, the indigenous peoples from the states of Alagoas and Sergipe occupied the National Health Foundation building in Maceió, Alagoas, to protest against efforts being made by the state to privatize the system. They spent fifteen days camped in the building until they secured a decree from the Federal Justice system suspending the outsourcing initiative and forcing the Federal Government to continue to provide health care services. At the 3 rd National Indigenous Health Conference held on May 14-18 in Brasilia, the current health care model was assessed.

It's free! Save it. IN A STUNNING REVERSAL OF IDEOLOGICAL FORTUNE, traditional people in the Amazon, who until recently were deemed, at best, candidates for, if not hindrances to, "development," have been promoted to the forefront of modernity. This change has occurred primarily through the association made between traditional people and conservation. At the same time, indigenous peoples, formerly despised or hunted down by their neighbors, have become role models to dispossessed people in the Amazon. We felt compelled to write this essay partly in response to two major current misunderstandings. The first one questions the foundations of traditional peoples' commitment to conservation. Is such commitment a kind of forgery? Is it, more blandly phrased, a' case of a Western projection of ecological concerns onto an ad hoc constructed "ecologically noble savage"? The second misunderstanding, clearly linked to the former, asserts that "foreign" nongovernmental organizations and ideologies were responsible for the connection made between conservation of biological diversity and traditional people of the Amazon. This misunderstanding makes for strange bedfellows. Progressive first-world activists and scholars and third-world military leaders and communists alike share in that belief.

As a result, the Center published a guide to Brazilian historical archives in 1994 (item bi 98008424). Large areas of Amazonia were not included in the volume, indicating directions for future research. In Northeast Brazil, a number of research projects are currently underway to reconstruct regional indigenous history. Shortly after reaching a peak of intensity, the research focus on history in Brazil lost steam. Theses continued to be produced in the area, but numerous research questions went unanswered, such as historical demography and images of the Indian in history. These topics will most likely continue to be investigated, but on a smaller-scale and in a less-centralized fashion. The second area of research is native religions. The noteworthy, systematic publication of collections of myths, particularly by ABYA-YALA Publishers in Quito, has made numerous obscure works available to researchers (item bi 98012823). However, a contextual explanation that would make these myths accessible to unspecialized readers does not exist. One interesting development we may continue to see is collections of myths organized by native narrators.
