    Extractions: Home About us Activities Contact ... Resource Centre The different Ecuadorian Indigenous peoples have distinctive forms of social organization. They are divided into local, regional, and national organizations. The Conaie is a representation of all of these distinct tribes at national level. The problem created by the conflict between the extraction of subsoil resources versus the preservation of resources above the soil has caused serious problems for the Indigenous populations whose territories are affected by extractive industries. The Ecuadorian oil boom began in the 1960s and had very serious environmental impacts. For example it is estimated that Texaco operations in Ecuador resulted in the deforestation of 700,000 to 800,000 hectares of forest and spills of around 300,000 barrels of crude over the course of 25 years decimating many areas and leaving them uninhabitable. The oil technology used for new installations since the 1990s has permitted the reduction of the risks and direct environmental damage that can be created by the industry. However, private interests are still effectively in control of the management of the affected areas. For the Huaorani nationality, for example, the incursion of the oil industry on its land has meant abandoning their traditional practices, the deterioration of the family unit, migration, and disease among other impacts . In November of 2001, in response to a claim presented by the Shuar people, the International Labor Organization recommended that Ecuador respect its Convention 169 on Indigenous and tribal peoples in independent countries, exhorting the government to fully apply Article 15 of the Convention. The article establishes the right to previous consultation in cases of exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons that can affect Indigenous and tribal communities, and guarantees the participation of interested peoples in the different stages of the process, such as environmental impact studies and environmental management plans. Despite the fact that the right to consultation has been in effect since 1998, the Ecuadorian government has yet to pass legislation that permits Indigenous peoples to exercise this right.

Along with environmentalists, indigenous leaders say the Houston based Burlington Resources Company will inherit a ‘’nightmare’’ when it takes over Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO), which is pushing forward with exploration plans despite local opposition. In 1998, ARCO Oriente, a subsidiary of the California-based ARCO, signed a contract with the government for exploratory and exploitation rights in an area known as Oil Block 24.

The inhabitants of the area are clear that they will not benefit from the presence of ARCO in the 200,000 hectares of block 24, an area predominantly covered by primary forest and inhabited by Shuar and Achuar peoples. According to Santiago Kawarim the president of the Inter-provincial Native Federation of Ecuador (FINAE) as quoted in the daily el Hoy, the issue is critical. “We are at war with ARCO” said Kawarim, “we have decided that we do not want the contamination and the illness in our territory that the oil companies cause”. He added that “they try to divide us, and if they continue to do so there will be a confrontation which could put our communities in danger”

In ecuador they have also some variants. The original flag is the striped whipala, which was the coat of armor of the Inca, long before they started to think of having a own gay flag, rainbow warrior or other rainbow using flags in this world. The Indigenous banner is called " huipala" with the seven colors of the rainbow (symbolizing the unity of indigenous peoples before the conquest) and the black flags of Ruminahui (legendary leader of the autonomous movement) and Atahualpa La bandera indígena se llama : " huipala " con los siete colores del arco iris (que simboliza la unidad de la gente indígena antes de la conquista) y de los banderas negros de Ruminahui (arranque de cinta legendario del movimiento autónomo) y Atahualpa The Rainbow flag (Wipahla) belong to the Native Andean people of Tahuantinsuyu for more than 500 years.

    Extractions: Chapter 8 Playing out a full hand: Indigenous people s movements and the vulnerability of transnational energy corporations A paper written for the seminar A Indigenous People: The Way Forward, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, November 1993 The authors, Craig S. Benjamin and Terisa E. Turner are members of the International Oil Working Group, P.O. Box 1410, Cathedral Station, New York, New York, 10025 USA ABSTRACT The authors challenge the assumption, prevalent among many Northern environmental and indigenous advocacy groups, that grassroots movements are powerless to stop large-scale development projects initiated by transnational energy corporations. The authors begin by examining the compromise position which the U.S. National Resources Defence Council (NRDC) advocated in the struggle against oil development in the Ecuadorian Amazon. They then present a multi-level structural analysis of the power of popular alliances in Ecuador and internationally to thwart development programs pursued by transnational energy corporations and their national allies. In a survey of the political economy of energy production and sale in the present century the authors identify three critical factors pertaining to the present vulnerability of the international energy industry. The first is the transnationals fear of direct confrontation with movements of energy workers and their communities. The second factor is the ongoing effort by energy transnationals to promote intermediary social actors, including state energy corporations, that can serve as buffers against popular movements. The third is the weakening of the power and legitimacy of these intermediaries under the pressure of global economic restructuring in the period 1973 to the present. Key historical events referred to in this analysis include the 1973 oil embargo and the 1978 uprising by Iranian oil communities.

    Extractions: Ecuador: the future of the Chachi indigenous people and their forests Mache-Chindul rainforests and mangroves, located in the Province of Esmeraldas in the Ecuadorian Pacific region hold high levels of biodiversity. Additionally, this province is a multicultural complex formed by different ethnic groups -indigenous, black and "mestizos", as the Chachi, the Emperas, the Awa, Afro-Esmeraldian population and landless peasants who arrived there as colonists expelled from other regions of the country. For about three decades the province has been suffering a deforestation and forest degradation process: in 1958 there were 2,750,000 hectares of forests and nowadays only 500,000 remain, having the rest been transformed into agricultural or pasture lands. The forests of Mache-Chindul are part of these relicts, most of which are located in the indigenous Chachi territory, occupying an area of some 18,000 hectares. The communities of San Salvador, Balzar and Chorrera Grande, together with more than 30 scattered colonists' settlements live there. When the first Chachi families arrived there, in the decade of 1930, the area was completely void. Until the end of the 60s the Chachi lived in relative isolation, using the rivers for transportation, and developing sustainable production practices based on shifting agriculture, hunting, fishing, handicraft production and the gathering of products from the forest.

In this case, Tripetrol began arbitrarily oil exploration activities and carried out legal actions and threats against local community leaders. The women expressed their demand of "respect for their right to decide about their future" and that "no oil explorations is carried out in their territories". The answer was the usual one: repression. The police even called in immigration officers to check the foreigners’ papers and detained two of Oilwatch’s steering committee members who didn’t carry their passports with them. They were released soon after. Source: WRM's bulletin Nº 6, November 1997
