The majority of these people are the descendants of the great Aztec, Maya and Inca civilizations and today they comprise around 40 million people in the region. Recently, a new vision has emerged in Latin America that builds on the positive qualities of indigenous cultures and societies. The World Bank is working to promote the participation and inclusion of the LAC region's indigenous peoples in a sustainable development process. The main objectives are to:
HONDURAS BP.26 - Best Practices On Indigenous Knowledge

Extractions: Best Practices on Indigenous Knowledge MOST CIRAN HONDURAS BP.26 TITLE DESCRIPTION The practice helps indigenous hunter-gatherers draw their own maps of the lands and resources required for their subsistence. The aim is to help indigenous people communicate their need for land to government authorities through their spatial knowledge of the landscapes and ecosystems they inhabit. We encourage people to draw progressively more complex maps of the sites and areas used for their subsistence. Projects in Honduras and Paraguay are described in this report. In Honduras, the project was co-ordinated by MOPAWI, a local NGO, and several indigenous organisations. The project aimed at developing a clearer understanding of indigenous land-use patterns so that an appropriate strategy could be designed to legally reclaim historic land rights. The project was funded by Cultural Survival. Indian 'surveyors' designed a questionnaire, which they then administered to all villages in the eastern Honduras region (population 40,000). The data was gathered through public meetings, and included oral and graphical descriptions of the sites and areas used by villages for their subsistence. The surveyors gathered the information, and professional researchers used the information to draw up 1:50,000 scale maps of the region. Circles were drawn around the sites identified to show the approximate extent of lands used. Village-level data was grouped into zones, and the resulting map was published at a scale of 1:500,000. The researchers included a vegetation overlay on the map to highlight the relationship between land-use and the landscapes ecology.

Extractions: Central America and Mexico Report Home On September 7 nearly 200 Honduran police officers and soldiers violently attacked hundreds of Chorti indigenous people blocking the entrance to the Copan Maya Ruins archaeological park in a two-day protest aimed at getting attention to issues affecting their communities. Click here to receive a FREE copy of the current issue or subscribe to the Report with our Subscription Form Scores of people were injured in the confrontation and at least 17 people received injuries serious enough to require hospitalization. Police and soldiers attacked the Chorti with batons and teargas, while protesters reportedly responded with stones and sticks. Twenty indigenous leaders were arrested. The Chorti protesters, whose numbers were estimated at nearly 1,000, had taken the action to try to force the government's attention to their need for land, as well as its reneging on past agreements reached with Honduras' indigenous peoples. The protest was the latest in a series of actions from indigenous groups over the past five years seeking to draw attention to the problems and needs in their communities.

Extractions: printer friendly version Poverty and indigenous peoples The United Nations (UN) estimates that there are over 350 million indigenous people in the world, of whom over 40 million live in Latin America and constitute approximately 8 per cent of the population.2 No universal definition of indigenous peoples exists and, because power and the legitimacy of political representation have often been monopolized by states, indigenous peoples generally reject external attempts at defining them. Certain UN member states have insisted on a formal definition of the term 'indigenous peoples' with a view to excluding indigenous peoples rather than achieving clarity about the meaning of the term. States have used the categorization and labelling of different groups to exclude them from influence and participation. From an indigenous perspective, the right to self-identification is a fundamental right, which is the basis for a broader recognition, to include culture, language and religion. historical continuity with pre-colonial societies;

Extractions: printer friendly version Conclusions General conclusions Indigenous peoples' poverty is not a recent phenomenon but has been constructed through historical processes, where indigenous peoples have lost control over their territories and resources due to colonialism and nation-building. This understanding of indigenous peoples' poverty poses two main challenges for poverty reduction strategies: The extent to which this is happening, or is feasible in the short to medium term, differs from country to country. Some of the decisive factors are: The reflection of indigenous rights in national legislation, for example: provisions for bilingual education, political participation and the titling of territories.

http://countrystudies.us/honduras/6.htm

Extractions: Other Indigenous Groups Honduras Table of Contents Following the period of Mayan dominance, the area that would eventually comprise Honduras was occupied by a multiplicity of indigenous peoples. Indigenous groups related to the Toltec of central Mexico migrated from the northwest into parts of what became western and southern Honduras. Most notable were the Toltecspeaking Chorotega, who established themselves near the present-day city of Choluteca. Later enclaves of Nahua-speaking peoples, such as the Pipil, whose language was related to that of the Aztec, established themselves at various locations from the Caribbean coast to the Golfo de Fonseca on the Pacific coast. While groups related to indigenous peoples of Mexico moved into western and southern Honduras, other peoples with languages related to those of the Chibcha of Colombia were establishing themselves in areas that became northeastern Honduras. Most prominent among these were the Ulva and Paya speakers. Along the Caribbean coast, a variety of groups settled. Most important were the Sumu, who were also located in Nicaragua, and the Jicaque, whose language family has been a source of debate among scholars. Finally, in parts of what is now west-central Honduras were the Lenca, who also were believed to have migrated north from Colombia but whose language shows little relation to any other indigenous group.

In fact, Honduras makes more money exporting its people to work abroad than it does on traditional exports of bananas or coffee. The gross family remittances from Hondurans living abroad (mostly in the United States) rose 27 percent to $700 million in 2002, making family remittances the country's main source of foreign currency. One of the poorest countries in Latin America, Honduras has a per capita income of US$920 (2002). According to the World Bank, nearly two-thirds of Hondurans (63.3 percent) live in poverty, and close to half (45.2 percent) are extremely poor. In an effort to combat poverty and unemployment, Honduras has opened up its economy to the maquiladora sector (foreign-owned assembly plants for export), which is the third-largest in the world, employing 110,000 Hondurans (out of a total population of 6.5 million).

Extractions: INDIANISMO : THE RESURGENCE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN HONDURAS ACTIVISM ISSUES: EDITORIAL CONCLUSIONS Before the invasion of Christopher Columbus and the conquistadores there were 130 million people living in the Americas. By 1567 seventy million indigenous people had been slaughtered by Europeans and all the diseases they brought with them. From the minute Columbus stepped foot in the Americas the indigenous peoples were the victims of violent repression and human rights abuses. These acts have been occurring for over 500 years. Since 1492 the natives have been in a constant fight for the rights that were stolen from them.
