Extractions: This paper was submitted to the 4th Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, New York, 16-27 May 2005, Agenda item 3 of the provisional agenda. Economic and Social Council, Dist.:GENERAL March 2005, Original: ENGLISH I f the MDG One conclusion is that the poverty map in the region coincides with indigenous peoples territories. A subsequent study in the region conducted by the Inter-American Development Bank came up with similar conclusions and observations: alarming conditions of extreme poverty and marginality. Statistics in Guatemala show that 50 to 60 per cent of a total population of 11 million belong to 23 indigenous peoples. Of these number, 54.3 per cent of them are poor and 22.8 per cent extremely poor. Sixty per cent of households do not have the capacity to earn half of the cost of their minimum food needs despite spending a greater part of their earnings on it. Eight out of every ten indigenous children in this country live in poverty according to the indicators published in the 2001 Human Development Report The Asian Development Bank also undertook a study in 2002 on the poverty situation of indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities in Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia and Indonesia. This study could not establish trends in the relationship between poverty and ethnicity because there is a lack of disaggregated and data based on ethnicity. However, in the case of Vietnam such disaggregated data is available. The finding is that the worst poverty situation in Vietnam is among the ethnic minorities

Extractions: A Backgrounder The United Nations estimates that there are currently over 300 million Indigenous Peoples living in 70 different countries. But this number, like most figures on Indigenous Peoples, is imprecise. Indigenous activists cite the lack of data on Indigenous Peoples as an urgent concern because it creates a barrier to understanding and meeting the needs of Indigenous communities. Available statistics paint a picture of deadly poverty and inequality. Indigenous Peoples in the Americas have a life expectancy 10 to 20 years less than the general population. In Central America, data show that Indigenous Peoples have less access to education and health services, are more likely to die from preventable diseases, suffer higher infant and maternal mortality rates and experience higher levels of poverty than non-Indigenous populations.

Extractions: THE STATE OF THE REGION SUMMARY State of the Region Synopsis General Assessment In spite of the advances cited, the economic and political achievements won are precarious and, in terms of social equity and environmental sustainability, negative for the region, though not necessarily for all of the countries. Central America is torn by regional fractures in its human development, with the following still in existence: Gaps in human development achievements among countries; in the isthmus there are two (or three if Belize is included) countries who are leaders in Latin America, and four who hold the lowest positions in the hemisphere. Internal territorial divisions in all of the countries. Alongside modern enclaves in capitals and major cities lie vast zones of poverty and low productivity, usually in rural and border areas. Multiple and wide divisions exist among social groups: between rich and poor, between men and women, between indigenous, Afro-Caribbean, and nonindigenous peoples for example. These divisions in terms of equity have generated widespread poverty and excluded the majority of people from access to social services and the benefits of development. Divisions between economic performance, policies, and legal frameworks exist among the countries, which affect the business climate in the region. In addition, countries like El Salvador and Nicaragua, affected by war, are just now recovering the GNP that they had twenty and thirty years ago, respectively (MIDEPLAN, 1998).

As indigenous leaders of the Americas we congratulate you for initiating policy consultations rather than limiting the discussion to a strategic framework as originally planned. We wish you every success in this important endeavor. We would like to state at the outset, however, that the consultation plan should be developed in agreement with representative indigenous peoples. In that spirit, please accept the attached proposal for the consultation process. Based on careful analysis of past consultations and of the methodology you have proposed we suggest an alternative methodology. Although it might take longer than you originally proposed, we believe that if you carefully plan this process from the beginning with indigenous participation at all stages you will obtain the best results. We estimate fifteen months minimum for the entire process.

Conclusion FEATURES Mayan Ruins Modern Maya Story of Color Maya Fashions Once upon a time there was a little newsboy who was very, very poor and he only sold old newspapers because he didn't have enough money for new ones. People didn't by his newspapers because they were all so out of date, and they wanted new newspapers. So the little newsboy never sold any, and every day he accumulated more and more old newspapers. What the little newsboy did was put up a paper recycling plant, and he became a millionaire, bought out all the newspaper businesses and the news agencies, prohibited publishing current news, and thus obliged people to read only news of the past. In the papers on sale today, for example, you'd read that the Zapatistas are about to arrive in Mexico City and that they'll meet with the Villistas there. You can't quite make out the date, but it seems to either 1914 or 1997. Once upon a time, there was a little seamstress who sewed mightily on his sewing machine. The other machines in his neighborhood laughed at him, and shouted: "Fairy! Only old women are streamstresses!" So the little seamstress sewed shut the mouths of everyone who made fun of him. That is why, to this day, we do not know how the story ended, because no one could tell it. INTRODUCTION 1. The discovery of the Americas in the sixteenth century revealed to the European invaders two great civilizations: the Inca in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Mesoamerican in the Northern Hemisphere. The latter was characterized, until colonization began, by all the elements commonly associated with "advanced civilizations." These included a great concentration of sedentary populations; sophisticated political organization of hierarchical states; intensive agriculture; monumental constructions including temples, and civil structures; a great tradition of sculpture and pictorial art; hieroglyphic writing; the use of sophisticated calendars, and; mathematical computation. It also included a variety of social classes, centralized religious systems with priestly castes.
