    Extractions: Source: The Library of Congress Country Studies An upsurge in native discontent and rebellion had actually begun to occur in the eighteenth century. To survive their brutal subjugation, the indigenous peoples had early on adopted a variety of strategies but were never as passive as portrayed in the scholarly literature until recently. To endure, the native Americans did indeed have to adapt to Spanish domination. As often as not, however, they found ways of asserting their own interests. After the conquest, the crown had assumed from the Incas patrimony over all native land, which it granted in usufruct to indigenous community families, in exchange for tribute payments and mita labor services. This system became the basis for a long-lasting alliance between the colonial state and the native communities, bolstered over the years by the elaboration of a large body of protective legislation. Crown officials, such as the corregidores de indios , were charged with the responsibility of protecting natives from abuse at the hands of the colonists, particularly the alienation of their land to private landholders. Nevertheless, the colonists and their native allies, the

Entrecaminos Spring 2003 Indigenous Peoples, Poverty and Participatory Development: The Experience of the World Bank in Latin America By Shelton H. Davis, The World Bank A. Introduction Indigenous peoples have historically been the poorest and most excluded social sectors in Latin America. They have not only faced serious discrimination in terms of their basic rights to their ancestral property, languages, cultures and forms of governance, but also in terms of access to basic social services (education, health and nutrition, water and sanitation, housing, etc.) and the essential material conditions for a satisfying life. These conditions of extreme poverty and material deprivation—what might be best described as a denial of the fundamental social citizenship rights of indigenous peoples—are widespread throughout Latin America and have recently come to the attention of international development agencies, such as the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and the various bilateral development agencies. The denial of the basic social citizenship rights of indigenous peoples have also been a growing concern of scholars, journalists and others concerned with social conditions in Latin America.

    Extractions: HUMAN RIGHTS IN PERU CHAPTER X THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES A. INTRODUCTION Peru is a multicultural country by essence, historically; of a population of 25 million, 8 million consider themselves indigenous. The cultural diversity of these native peoples is reflected by the presence of more than 65 Quechua, Aymara, Aguaruna, Ashaninkas, and other Amazonian indigenous peoples, most of whom live in 1,300 rural and peripheral urban communities. Most of the communities live in conditions of extreme poverty and inferior quality of life. Structural poverty affects the indigenous communities most intensely, limiting their full enjoyment of their human rights, including their economic, social, and cultural rights. Before and during its on-site visit to Peru, the Commission received complaints about serious situations that affect the indigenous peoples in Peru. The problems that merit special mention include those relating to the recognition of communal lands, the right of indigenous peoples to participation and consultation, and the high percentage of indigenous families in extreme poverty, with problems of chronic malnutrition and high mortality, especially maternal and infant mortality. In this context, in this chapter the Commission studies several important aspects of the situation of the indigenous peoples of Peru.

Our greatest difficulty is knowing truly the machine we are dealing with. As we each define our purpose in the values of our futures through the foundation within each of us instilled by our ancestors. We have found great frustrations in this stand to remain integral to our collective principles, our individual principles and most important the principles of our people at home.

Our drafting committee was charged by our Global Caucus to draft the earlier statement based upon the hundreds of points presented by our body throughout the day.

    Extractions: Mrs Dr Toledo-Karp, First Lady of Peru The indigenous peoples living in Peru today are the Quechua and Aymara speakers of the Andes, and the over fifty ethno-linguistic families living in the Amazon area. The indigenous population exceeds six million people, that is 25% of the total population of Peru. In addition to the indigenous peoples, a high percentage of the population (around 60%) is of mixed race or indigenous background, but does not recognize this because of socio-cultural prejudices. The republic developed while ignoring the great majority of indigenous and mixed race people. The breaking down of the production and culture of Peru’s indigenous peoples meant the destruction of traditional production methods, which had been efficient methods of redistribution that prevented the existence of the poverty and hunger we see today. The breakdown of traditional communities brought with it mass migration from the country to the cities, and consequent cultural mixing. At the start of the second half of the 20th century, the indigenous population represented more than half the population of Peru. This process implied the progressive exclusion of these peoples and consequently, their isolation and reduction in numbers, culture, economy and territory.

    Extractions: There are clear differences between indigenous peoples of the Andean or coastal regions and those of the Amazon. Traditionally, non-indigenous Peruvians referred to those from the Andes as "indios," where Amazonian residents were called "savages." While Andean Indians were integrated into society during the colonial period, Amazonians groups (e.g. Araucanos and Charruas) were attacked and restricted to reservations. One result has been that while many highlanders may not know their tribal origins, most of the Amazon region strongly identify with their tribes. Because lowland Indians were not included in the debate over indigenous lands, they did not begin to develop relationships with the state until the late 1800s-early 1900s, once their lands had been colonized by others. The government had not considered those lands to be indigenous territory, but as unoccupied land that should be settled to generate economic value. Colonists in the region believed that natives needed to be "civilized" before they could receive rights. Catholic and Protestant missionaries then began to convert lowland peoples, and tried to end their traditional cultures. In the 1940s and 1950s, several bilingual and multicultural education institutions began to arrive in the Amazon region. Thereafter, local tribal leaders have always demanded bilingual education. By the mid-1950s, the state designated Amazon natives as "jungle tribes" and set aside land for them. In 1968, tribes were given land to form "native communities;" these became foundations for the ethnic Indian federations that later developed (e.g., the Aguarunas of the Alto Mayo or the Ashaninkas of the Tambo river).

    Extractions: March 14, 2003 Tensions are high deep in the Peruvian Amazon where thousands of desperate farmers from high in the Andes mountains have descended to scratch out a living by logging Earth's last remaining stands of pristine mahogany. The area is believed to be home for several hundred indigenous people who have chosen to live exactly as their ancestors did thousands of years ago. Now the presence of the loggers may force them into unwanted contact and potentially lead to their demise. The isolated peoples have little resistance to common illnesses like the flu, which have killed thousands of indigenous peoples since contact began with the Europeans in the 1500s. For their own survival, those still alive have retreated deeper and deeper into the Amazon. "With all the development needs of society and government plans including roads, including oil development [and] hunger for wood, mainly mahogany, you have people entering and looking to the most isolated parts of the continent," said Enrique Ortiz, a senior program officer with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation in Washington, D.C.

In 1978, the native communities law was modified to reflect changes in national forest policy that eliminated indigenous property rights over forest lands, even those within a recognized native community. In its stead, the revised law opened the possibility of creating communal reserves under local community management. Though a great number of such reserves have been proposed, only two have been established: 1) the Yanesha Communal Reserve (1987), with a total area of 34,745 hectares; and 2) the El Sira Communal Reserve (2001), with a total of 616,413 hectares.
