    Extractions: Against the United States Invasion of Iraq Submitted to NativeNews by: Elsbeth Vocat Ottawa - Canada - (Posted on Apr-01-2003) The representatives of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas gathered during the second Annual Forum of Connectivity in Ottawa, Canada on March 24-26, 2003 and expressed the following: This genocide is a crime against humanity and violates international law as well as human and legal rights. This is a criminal invasion and it is killing innocent children, women and the elderly. It lacks any kind of legitimacy and cannot be justified as it violates all declarations to live in peace. It violates the self determination and sovereignty of peoples and the consensus reached by most states represented in the United Nations. The representatives of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas strongly request that all those responsible for these criminal acts be brought to the International War Crimes Court and be condemned internationally. We urge the United Nations to call for an emergency meeting of the Security Council to condemn the United States government, and its allies decision to go to war and we call for an immediate cease fire, while re-establishing diplomacy to end this conflict. Furthermore, we reject any new government imposed by the United States as it will only justify its presence in Iraq to protect its own geo- political and geo-economic interests.

    Extractions: Governments throughout the Americas are failing to fulfil their commitments to the region's indigenous peoples, according to a new report. The human rights group Amnesty International says America's native peoples are still one of the most marginalised and poorest communities in the world, discriminated against and often exposed to grave abuses of their fundamental human rights. Many people are forced to sleep on the streets Amnesty published the report to coincide with Columbus or Native American Day, when several countries celebrate the continent's multicultural heritage and mark the arrival in the Americas of Christopher Columbus in 1492. "Basic rights of indigenous communities, including the right to land and to cultural identity in the use of language, education and the administration of justice are systematically violated," the report says. "Racism and discrimination entrenched in most societies make indigenous people more vulnerable to human rights violations including torture and ill-treatment, 'disappearance' and unlawful killings," Amnesty argues.

    Extractions: With more than 11 million inhabitants, Guatemala is the most highly populated country in Central America. Situated in the heart of the Maya world more than 50% of the population is indigenous. After 36 years of armed conflict, a process of national reconciliation was initiated in 1990-91 and in December 1996 the Final Peace Agreement was signed. The Peace Agreements call for the implementation of human rights and the rights of indigenous peoples, strengthening of civil society as well as reform of the educational system among others, thus supporting the democratization process of Guatemala. In March 1997 the UNESCO/DANIDA Project on Human Rights and Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala was initiated with a view to strengthen the participation of indigenous peoples in the transition from a state of civil war to representative democracy. Summary Launched in March 1997, this project aims at contributing to the implementation of the Peace Agreements by creating human rights awareness and strengthening the capacity of local indigenous leaders in their work. It focuses on local human resources as a means of supporting the current democratization process and it provides participants with tools to facilitate dialogue and to reinforce participation specifically at a local level. This project on

    Extractions: And the grunting boar... This poem aptly illustrates one of the issues raised by Indigenous Peoples against the system of education that was imposed on them by colonial and neo-colonial powers. It is a biting indictment of an educational system that is perceived as unsuitable to their needs. Indeed, Indigenous Peoples in many parts of the world identify education as a crucial factor in the historical process of their marginalization. The process started at the onset of western colonization and was carried over by nation-states after decolonization. A Handmaiden of Assimilation In their attempt to consolidate colonial power, and later, nation-states, the ruling elite imposed a policy of assimilation nay westernization. This policy was implemented by missionaries and schools that they set up in Indigenous communities. This resulted in the virtual obliteration of most of the Indigenous Peoples’ way of life their cultural practices, traditions, arts, languages. Some elements of their culture, those that were deemed acceptable to the "moral" (i.e., western, Christian and patriarchal) standards of the colonizers and ruling elite, were integrated into the dominant national culture.

    Extractions: we have decided to write our thesis on Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala. More specifically, what we have decided to research is the perceptions of civil society organizations in Guatemala about the role of MINUGUA (United Nations mission of verification of Human Rights for Guatemala) regarding Indigenous Peoples specifically. The Saami Center has provided us with funding to do the field work in Guatemala, which took place between June and September, 2003. The experience has been a very fulfilling process of coming closer to a nation that has been trying to rebuild itself after 36 years of Civil War. During this conflict, Indigenous Peoples have suffered very much from direct and structural violence. Tens of thousands died, and even more were displaced from their lands and even from their country, forced to cross the border with Mexico in search of better living conditions. Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala make up a very high percentage of the population. There are claims as high as 70%, and as low as 30%, which means that there are between 3 and 7 million Indigenous Peoples in this Central American country. The number depends basically on who provides them, and how Indigenous Peoples are counted. Besides, there are more than 20 different ethnic groups among them, which provides a very wide variety of cultural diversity in a country.

Fair Trade Guatemala: programme overview Guatemala is a country with a strong indigenous culture and powerful identity. In 1996 the country emerged from a 36-year-long civil war in which more than 200,000 people were killed or disappeared. Guatemalans live in one of the most unequal societies in the region, with about 75% of the population below the poverty line, living predominantly in rural areas in indigenous communities. In 2001 the World Bank estimated that two-thirds of Guatemalan children were living in poverty. Problems: Illiteracy, infant mortality and malnutrition are among the highest in the region, life expectancy is among the lowest and the country is one of the most violent in Latin America. Corruption is a major problem which has dampened investor confidence, among other serious problems.

    Extractions: (Reuters) October 18, 2003 By Hector Tobar , Times Staff Writer EL ALTO, Bolivia - Above the rocky bowl of La Paz, this vast township of brick and adobe homes stretches across a dry plain. This is where the Aymara Indians of western Bolivia come to live and work when their farms can no longer feed them. For the past week, the hardscrabble order of El Alto gave way to a fervor of rebellion. Armed with the traditional weapons of the Aymara people - sticks, slingshots and muscle - its residents fought the army, built barricades and derailed a train, cutting off and shutting down the capital below them. "We are not going to allow ourselves to be pushed around anymore," said Bernaldo Castillo Mollo, a 37-year-old Aymara bricklayer and jack-of-all-trades who was shot in the foot during the protests. "So that our children have a better life than us, we are willing to die." The Indian-led movement that brought down Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada last week was only the most recent and startling expression of a growing militancy and political assertiveness among the native peoples of the Americas. In Ecuador and in Guatemala, indigenous leaders arguably wield more influence in local and national affairs than in any time since the Spanish conquest. And in Chile and Mexico, resistance to the changes brought by the global economy are helping to feed a renaissance of indigenous organizations.

When her mother demanded an explanation, Government soldiers abducted her mother, raped her repeatedly, cut off her ears, tortured and mutilated her, and left her to be consumed by maggots, vultures, and dogs. Her father was killed when the Spanish Embassy in Guatemala City, in which he and other leaders of the country's main peasant opposition group had protested human rights violations, was set on fire.
