    Extractions: n. A member of any of the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere. The ancestors of the Native Americans are generally considered by scientists to have entered the Americas from Asia by way of the Bering Strait sometime during the late glacial epoch. Native American adj. USAGE NOTE Many Americans have come to prefer Native American over Indian both as a term of respect and as a corrective to the famous misnomer bestowed on the peoples of the Americas by a geographically befuddled Columbus. There are solid arguments for this preference. Native American eliminates any confusion between indigenous American peoples and the inhabitants of India, making it the clear choice in many official contexts. It is also historically accurate, despite the insistence by some that Indians are no more native to America than anyone else since their ancestors are assumed to have migrated here from Asia. But one sense of native is “being a member of the original inhabitants of a particular place,” and Native Americans' claim to being the original inhabitants of the Americas is unchallenged.•Accuracy and precision aside, however, the choice between these two terms is often made as a matter of principle. For many

    Extractions: Bucknell University From the perspective of political economy, the cultural characteristics of indigenous life which most directly relate to ecology are currently the most marginalized. That is, indigenous peoples are often the target of external economic domination by multinational businesses which seek to exploit indigenous homelands often with the help of the nation-state in which indigenous peoples reside. These issues of diversity and economic exploitation are central to any discussion of indigenous traditions and ecology as many of the indigenous peoples, their cosmologies, and ritual practices discussed below are actually in danger of being extinguished by absorption into mainstream societies and by destruction of indigenous homelands through resource extraction.

    Extractions: Home Issues We Work on Minority Rights Background ... Groups excluded from full enjoyment of their rights based on their identity—whether indigenous people or minorities—deserve a chance to make their voices heard by policy makers. In 1996, in western Ecuador's lowland Amazon region, Shuar and Achuar indigenous people were informed that the government had granted concession of 200,000 hectares (494,000 acres) of environmentally fragile rain forest and farm land to ARCO for oil exploration and possible drilling. Oxfam partner FIPSE (Federacion Independiente del Pueblos Shuar del Ecuador, or the Independent Federation of the Shuar People of Ecuador) asked for legal training to understand the nature of the oil industry and to learn about the potential environmental impact of such activity. FIPSE members attended a series of workshops staged by the Center for Economic and Social Rights in order to analyze the potential benefits and risks of oil production on their lands, as well as what rights they have to defend their territories. They also learned about their rights to control activities on their ancestral lands, despite the government’s right to the sub-surface oil resources. FIPSE took ARCO to court to halt its negotiations with individual families and communities. The company offered sacks of rice and transport in its small plane to individuals and families in order to secure their support for oil operations in Shuar territory. These small gifts were leading to ad-hoc agreements and compensation amounts as low as $3,000 per community. FIPSE asked the courts to require the company to deal exclusively with FIPSE's General Assembly in its negotiations, and won.

Local Partners by Elisa Maturana New leader of Ecuador’s largest indigenous organization to focus on its social role: consolidation of territory, human rights, and education. Indigenous people were not taken into account when the state was constructed in Ecuador around 200 years ago. We did not participate in that process, and indigenous peoples continue to be excluded today. There could be a way out, however. We need to begin building a society in which we can grow by sharing culture and knowledge in a context of rights, in which indigenous peoples can contribute to a harmonious society. The proposal for intercultural dialogue and the construction of a plurinational state does not mean creating a lot of small micro-states or dividing the state into small pieces, but recognizing diversity and that all cultures have a role in society. In this search for more just societies that recognize all cultures, the indigenous movement has made demands and protested, actions that have been perceived by some sectors as destabilizing democracy. How do you respond to this perception? What is your reading on the indigenous movement in the region and in Ecuador today?

In the United States ”there is a perception of indigenous activists as destabilizing elements and terrorists,” and their demands and activism have begun to be cast in a criminal light, lawyer José Aylwin, with the Institute of Indigenous Studies at the University of the Border in Temuco (670 km south of the Chilean capital), told IPS. Pedro Cayuqueo, director of the Mapuche newspaper Azkintuwe, also from the city of Temuco, wrote that the growing indigenous activism in Latin America and Islamic radicalism are both depicted as threats to the security and hegemony of the United States in the ”Global Trends 2020 - Mapping the Global Future” study by the U.S. National Intelligence Council (NIC). NIC works with 13 government agencies, including the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), and is advised by experts from the United States and other countries. Cayuqueo described the report as ”a veritable x-ray” of potential ”counterinsurgency scenarios” from now to the year 2020.

    Extractions: Published in El Colombiano, July 18, 1999 The indigenous community of Zorando, located in the Rio Verde basin, in the municipality of Saisa Alto Sinu, Cordoba, denounced that a group of paramilitaries (Autodefensas), threatening extermination, ordered the eviction of indigenous peoples living in those territories. The accusation pointed out that "the deadline for removal is July 18, after which the Autodefensas will not guarantee the safety of those remaining there." "We do not understand why we have to leave our territory given that we are not part of the armed conflict," said the statement with grave concern. According to indigenous spokespersons, this eviction threat adds to the serious violent incidents registered in the area during recent days: the murder of two drivers and the takeover of Saisa. This takeover resulted in eight peasants dead, fifteen houses destroyed, and two wounded Embera indians "who are not involved in the armed conflict." In this regard, the indigenous spokespersons indicated that one of the wounded, Rubén Mosquera Pernía, dissapeared when he was taken to the hospital in Monteria in an ambulance. Facing these threats, the community of Zorando del Alto Sinú, inhabited by 83 indigenous people, declared that they will not abandone their territory, "our Mother Earth," and issued a call to all human rights NGOs to help "guarantee the safety of our people and to bear witness to this difficult situation."

    Extractions: Choice The most extensive, undisturbed tropical forests and wetlands on our planet are located in South and Central America. The persistence of intact ecosystems in South America, and to a lesser degree in Central America, is the result of the region’s unique mixture of human cultures and of its inhabitants'continued reliance on wild plants and animals for subsistence and economic use. The worldview of the region’s indigenous peoples, which does not separate humans and nature, has fused with the worldviews of African, European, and East Indian immigrants to produce a new conservation "philosophy." Biologists and resource managers in the region have developed research and conservation tools that are both scientifically rigorous and uniquely adapted to make use of the biological, economic, and spiritual links between humans and nonhuman nature.

During the meeting we examined how the idea of the Permanent Forum had progressed since it was presented in the Global Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993. We also shared information on the process of monitoring and participation which the indigenous representatives have undergone with the Permanent Forum. We were also informed of the resolution taken by the Human Rights Council, its ratification by the Economic and Social Council ECOSOC and its adoption by the United Nations' General Assembly. After having exchanged and analysed various points of view on the course the Permanent Forum is taking, the participating organisations identified their lack of participation in its progression. However, in response to this reflection we confirmed our resolve to participate in the process of making eligible indigenous representation as South America proposes and from this moment forth we will take an active role in the development of the Permanent Forum's activities.

" Mr. Justice Thomas Berger, Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry, (aka the Berger Inquiry). " Rather than going to church, I attend a sweat lodge; rather than accepting bread and toast [sic] from the Holy Priest, I smoke a ceremonial pipe to come into Communion with the Great Spirit; and rather than kneeling with my hands placed together in prayer, I let sweetgrass be feathered over my entire being for spiritual cleansing and allow the smoke to carry my prayers into the heavens. I am a Mi'kmaq, and this is how we pray. " Noah Augustine, from his article "
