    Extractions: the international community Growing public interest in indigenous people and a long process of international negotiations involving indigenous organizations prompted the international community to proclaim 1993 as the International Year of the World's Indigenous People, and then the period 1995-2004 as the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People, to focus on issues of concern to indigenous people. In addition, 9 August has since 1995 been celebrated as the International Day of the World's Indigenous People. Each of these steps has been important in the struggle for the recognition of the rights of indigenous people. These steps are all the more meaningful with the forthcoming anniversary of a landmark human rights document adopted by the United Nations 50 years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration recognizes the inherent dignity of every human being and sets forth in detail the rights to be enjoyed by all "without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status". Within the framework of the World Public Information Campaign, launched by the United Nations in 1988, the Universal Declaration has been translated into more than 40 indigenous languages and widely disseminated among indigenous communities. The United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004) also focuses attention on the importance of human rights education for all, including indigenous people, in view of the problems encountered by indigenous communities.

    Extractions: May 9,  2003 Sr. Enrique Iglesias, President of the Inter-American Development Bank: We, the indigenous organizations and members of COICA and traditional peoples of the Amazon, the non-governmental human rights and environmental organizations of the Amazon Basin and support groups united under the umbrella of Amazon Alliance attending the VI Annual Forum during 8-10 of May in Washington, DC, affirm that the present and the future of the Amazon depends on respect for its peoples, their natural resources and the environment. We wish to express the following: In Peru, a mega-project for the exploitation of gas in Camisea is underway since 2000, despite its having direct and indirect impacts; it continues to cause irreparable harm to the biodiversity and the life of indigenous peoples who have lived in these lands for thousands of years. Eighty percent of the block 88 for the exploitation of gas is located on the Nahau Kugapakori Reserve, a territory established for the protection of indigenous people living in voluntary isolation with limited contact with the modern world. Due to the gas related activities being carried out in the Reserve, these people are being forced to change their patterns of settlement and displaced to more remote areas with insufficient food resources, consequently suffering malnutrition; the presence of outsiders and the changes to their environment create conditions for the spread of diseases against which they do not have immunological resistance.

    Extractions: July 20, 2004 Back in April, indigenous people in Ilave, on the shores of Lake Titicaca in southern Peru, lynched the town's mayor after accusing him of corruption, leaving the area in turmoil ever since. That same month, across the Andes in Brazil, a dozen indigenous people in the Amazon massacred 29 miners who were believed to be illegally extracting diamonds from their land. Next door in Bolivia, tens of thousands of indigenous protesters took to the streets last October to protest the government's energy policy, ultimately forcing the president to resign. They also killed a mayor for alleged corruption. And to the north in Ecuador, indigenous groups are asking the UN to step in to avoid bloodshed in an escalating conflict that they say is being stoked by the president. Across South America, some of the region's 55 million indigenous people have been making noise lately - sometimes violently - fighting against abject poverty, inequality, and scant political representation in. While the problems vary from country to country, they reflect the difficulties facing indigenous movements here as they attempt to translate gains made over the past decade into lasting political victories. "The challenge of the indigenous movement is to understand what it means to have political power, what we can do with it," says Tarcila Rivera, a Peruvian indigenous leader and chair of the Fourth International Meeting of Indigenous Women, held recently in Peru.

    Extractions: Peru "...for organising to protect the rights of the indians of the amazon basin." Since the European invasion of South America in the 16th century, the indigenous peoples, and especially those of the Amazon, were confronted with various 'civilising' forces which brought the destruction of their lands, resources, cultures and rights, and even individual or mass killings. On the threshold of the 21st century , this reality still continues in different forms, using violent or subtle methods according to the country concerned. In this context, Evaristo Nugkuag Ikanan became a leader of the Aguaruna people of Peru and has devoted himself to organising the indigenous people of the Amazon Basin in order to uphold their human, civil, economic and political rights. In 1977, he was one of the founders of the Aguaruna and Huambisa Council (CAH) which represented 45,000 inhabitants of 140 communities in the tropical forest region. Developing alternative methods of land protection, human development, health care and education, the Council became one of the most effective indigenous organisations in South America.

87. Machu Picchu
    Perhaps most importantly, the indigenous people of peru are actively involved inworking to preserve their spiritual and cultural heritage.

    Extractions: Machu Picchu History Current Challenges After repeated recommendations from the World Heritage Committee, Peru established a master management plan and managing body for the Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary in 1998. However, the management plan has never been implemented. The main issue appears to be lack of funding, despite the fact that park entrance fees, which are collected by the INC, should be sufficient to cover implementation of the plan. To date, there is no monitoring system or evaluation to determine why the plan has not been implemented. Although Aguas Calientes, the Machu Picchu Hotel and the means of transport to Machu Picchu are all within the boundaries of the Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary and World Heritage Site, they are outside the control of the management authority. Thus it is impossible to manage tourism and its impacts within the sanctuary. Furthermore, the carrying capacity of the sanctuary has never been determined through a technical approach, nor have restrictions been placed on visitors regarding access to, and behavior within, the sites considered to be sacred. Yachay Wasi, an organization representing the region’s indigenous communities whose name means "House of Learning" in Quechua, describes the challenge: “Will world governments, scientists, nonprofit sponsors and tourists respect Indigenous Peoples’ spiritual heritage: religion, burial sites and human remains, and will the international community respect and allow them to protect their sacred sites?”

Today we know of four tribes which refer to the Madre De Dios and its tributaries as their homeland. Though they generally speak native dialects, most that travellers are likely to come across understand spanish as well.

The indigenous people of the Peruvian jungles are being pushed off their land by an endless combination of slash-and-burn colonization, big oil companies, gold miners, timber extractors and coca-growing farmers organized by drug-trafficking barons and, at times, "revolutionary" political groups. All along the main rivers and jungle roads, settlers are flooding into the area. In their wake, forcing land title agreements to which they have no right, are the main timber companies and multinational oil corporations. In large tracts of the jungle the fragile selva ecology has already been destroyed; in others the tribes have been more subtly disrupted by becoming dependent on outside consumer goods and trade or by the imposition of evangelical proselytizing groups, and the Indian way of life is being destroyed.

    Extractions: In the Americas there are approximately 45 million indigenous people, comprising more than 400 different ethnic groups and contributing to the Region’s multicultural, multiethnic and multilingual character. As a group, indigenous people represent nearly ten percent of the Region’s total population. Their numbers relative to national populations vary significantly. In Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Peru, indigenous people account for 40 percent or more of the total country population. The Region’s indigenous populations live mainly in remote, rural communities. They are younger and have higher fertility rates than the national averages. Indigenous peoples are also over-represented among the most poor and disadvantaged; this translates into substandard living and health conditions. For example, indigenous people, especially children, are more likely to die sooner or suffer the effects of diseases that are largely avoidable such as nutritional deficiencies, diarrhea, respiratory problems, and communicable disease, which is preventable with immunization. Overall, life expectancy for indigenous populations is typically 10 to 20 years less than for the general population. Indigenous peoples continue to face geographic, economic and cultural barriers that block their access to food, health and needed services. Of the estimated 120 million persons living in the Americas who are without regular access to health services, an estimated 40 percent are indigenous. These populations also often lack access to safe water, food and sanitation. In addition, the ongoing loss of ancestral territories and environmental changes not only impact their economic livelihood and cultural survival but also affect the food supply thereby increasing the likelihood of malnutrition or starvation.

    Extractions: SECRETARY-GENERAL HAILS CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TO HUMAN CIVILIZATION IN REMARKS IN MACHU PICCHU, PERU Following is the statement delivered by Secretary-GeneralKofi Annan on indigenous peoples in Machu Picchu, Peru, on 12 November: I would like to thank you (President Toledo) and Eliane for bringing Nane and me here. And, throughout Latin America, one sees the extraordinary diversity of indigenous cultures and the potential contribution their knowledge and values can make to poverty eradication, sustainable agriculture, and indeed to our concept of life.  From here in Peru to the Philippines, and from the deserts of Australia to the ice-covered lands of the Arctic circle, indigenous peoples have much to teach our world. The international community can no longer tolerate this situation.  Nor should any society where it is happening.  I hope everyone will take the UNICEF report, as a call to action to promote the highest standard of health and nutrition, to guarantee multi-cultural education of high quality, and to give indigenous children a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. Indigenous peoples must be full partners in efforts to protect their children, just as they must participate in all decisions that affect their communities and the countries of which they are citizens.  Already, indigenous women are making a special contribution to these processes.  They must be allowed and encouraged to do more.
