    Extractions: 'Indigenous Issues' is a new Topic Page launched by the Development Gateway in conjunction with the International Day of World's Indigenous People on August 9, 2004. The new page, a merging of three former Topic Pages, comes at the end of the UN’s International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People from 1995-2004. As such it represents the increasing awareness about the broad range of issues that impact the social and economic well-being of indigenous people around the world—and the growing voice of indigenous people in those issues. The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues concluded its third international meeting in May 2004 with a full slate of recommendations, including a call to extend the UN decade for indigenous people. Closer to the Development Gateway’s own mission, the Global Forum of Indigenous Peoples and the Information Society was held at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in December 2003. A global action plan for indigenous connectivity will be addressed at the Tunisia WSIS meeting in November 2005.

    Extractions: Denounce Maca Patents Extract of Andean Root Crop Patented for "Natural Viagra" Properties ETC 3jul02 Indigenous peoples’ and farmers’ organizations from the Andes and the Amazon gathered at the offices of the Ecological Forum in Lima, Peru on 28 June 2002 to formally denounce US patents on maca, the high-altitude Andean plant (of the Cruciferae [mustard] family) that has been grown for centuries by indigenous peoples in the Puna highlands of Peru, both as a staple food crop and for medicinal purposes. Today, maca-based products are commonly promoted as natural enhancers of sexual function and fertility, and demand for maca is growing in the U.S., Europe and Japan. While maca exports have the potential to create new markets and income for Peruvian farmers, recent U.S. patents related to maca may actually foreclose opportunity for the true innovators of the Andean crop. "The Andean region is becoming known as the ‘biopiracy capital’ of the world. We are deeply offended by monopoly patents on our food crops and medicinal plants," said Efraín Zúñiga Molina of the Association of Maca Producers of Valle del Mantaro. "We’ve seen patents on ayahuasca, quinoa, yacon, the nuña popping bean, and now maca," said Molina. "These patents claim novel inventions, but everyone knows they are based on the traditional knowledge and resources of indigenous peoples," said Gladis Vila Pihue, a representative of the maca growers association, Department of Huancavelica (Peru).

    Extractions: Tango Malambos Tango Tango developed in the 1880’s in the poor urban neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, and became the characteristic expression of the lower classes, many of who were recent immigrants from Europe. Tango is a dance of passion, elegance, grace, speed and intricate steps. Born in the bars, cafes, and brothels, it moved to dancing houses, then finally inside the middle and upper class Argentinean homes. Some say the word "tango" comes from the Latin word tangere (to touch) - the embrace is central to this dance form as partners dance very close to each other. The entire range of human feelings is expressed in tango. Tango evolved as it moved both through the societal levels within Argentina and as it mixed with other world dance cultures. The antique Argentine tango was influenced by the tango Habanera, a dance and music style that reached its peak in 1883 but died towards the end of the century. The tango Habanera evolved from the milonga (with influences from the guajira flamenca) and the tango Andaluz or tango flamenco. The milonga was danced and played by rural populations in Argentina and combined indigenous rhythms with the music of early Spanish colonists. Some aspect of the dance are also attributed to a dance called Candombe, which was danced by Africans and their descendents living in Buenos Aires and nearby Uruguay. The male Candombe dancers danced with their knees flexed, to show their dance skills with walking steps (corridas) and turns.

    Extractions: Search According to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report, published in Peru in August 2003, the political violence between 1980 and 2000 affected urban and rural areas differently. Rural areas and poorer departments had the most number of victims. Four out of ten casualties lived in Ayacucho, and of these four, three spoke Quechua. Most of them had no higher education, and those with secondary education were few and far between. More than half of the 25,000 victims were males, aged between 20 and 49 years. 75% of those who suffered sexual violence were Quechua-speaking females. Many children lost their parents during the conflicts as most of the victims were heads of family. At the moment, many of these children, who have been traumatized, displaced and orphaned because of the conflicts, are trying to rebuild their lives. Edwin Aguilar Chavez, the headmaster, said, "We teach 200 children at primary level, with an equal girl-boy balance in the classes. Our first promotion will finish this year, and we would like to build more classrooms so that we can offer them a secondary school education. If they go to another school, they will not be able to keep up and will run the risk of dropping out very soon because they will not receive adequate attention. These children have problems, not only at school but also at home. Some sleep on the floor or don't always have food to eat. Certain parents or guardians cannot even read or write, nor speak Castilian."

The majority of Latin America’s indigenous peoples live in Bolivia Guatemala Ecuador Mexico and Peru - roughly 90% of the total Latin American indigenous population. Uruguay is the only country in Central and South America today with no indigenous population.

    Extractions: CIIR development worker Irene Ortiz, and environmental educator, with Cocama-Cocamilla children. In the Peruvian Amazon, western-style education destroyed local knowledge says Lucy Trapnell. But trained indigenous teachers are restoring confidence in traditional values. The Shawi people are one of 40 indigenous peoples living in the Peruvian Amazon who experienced the same kind of schooling that Rafael remembers. In the 1970s I lived among the Ashaninka people and witnessed for myself the impact of formal education on their communities. As time went by, the Ashaninka people became more and more aware that school education was not offering them the opportunities they had hoped for. Their children were taught everything from a western worldview, but were actually acquiring very little western knowledge. When they finished primary school the majority could hardly read or write, and lacked basic mathematical skills. Many had a very limited command of Spanish - yet their own indigenous culture was being ignored, even vilified. As a result, children grew up with negative attitudes towards their cultural heritage and with a very low sense of self-esteem. Second, it fosters an awareness of, and respect for, indigenous culture and language. Otherwise, mistakes of the past would be repeated - sidelining the rich heritage of the indigenous people and uprooting their identity.

The United Nations (UN) established the date in 1995 as part of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples (1994-2004). The goal is to strengthen steps taken towards resolving indigenous people's problems in areas such as human rights, environment, education and health. Peru is a multi-ethnic nation of 25 million - 49 percent are mestizo (mixed race), 14 percent are of European, African or Asian descent, and 36 percent are indigenous peoples who speak their native languages. But Peru's large indigenous population suffers a serious situation of social, economic and cultural marginalisation. The government abolished ''the legal mechanisms for the protection'' of indigenous people because it believes their problems ''are an issue that must be resolved within the liberal economic model,'' stated sociologist Flavio Solorzano, of Population and Development, a non-governmental organisation. The 1993 Constitution, which president Alberto Fujimori actively promoted, was a step backwards as far as indigenous rights are concerned, said jurists Ana Maria Tamayo of Peru and Roque Roldan from Colombia.

    Extractions: of Native American Languages At the time of first European contact, probably close to 1,000 American Indian languages were spoken in North, Central, and South America. Although the number of languages in daily use has steadily declined because of persecution and pressures on the Indians to adopt English, Spanish, and other originally European languages, well over 700 different American Indianor, as they are sometimes called, Amerindian or Native Americanlanguages are spoken today. In the United States many of the most famous linguists of the early 20th centuryamong them Franz BOAS, Leonard BLOOMFIELD, and Edward SAPIRtranscribed and analyzed North American Indian languages. Many descriptions of Indian languages are important in the literature of the linguistic school known as American structuralism. Today interest in Native American Indian languages is increasing, and Americanists, as those who study the languages are called, hold regular meetings to report on their findings. Current research on the native languages of the Americas is published in several periodicals, notably the International Journal of American Linguistics.

    http://www.hope.edu/latinamerican/pachamama.htm
    
    Extractions: One of most fundamental religious-philosophical concepts to survive the Conquest and subsequent holocaust of the the Andean people of Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru is that of the Pachamama. Though loosely translated in Western languages as "Earth Mother" and most often used in this sense by Quechua ( Quichua in Ecuador) speakers themselves, the term has broader implications. Allpa Mama is the Quechua term which most closely corresponds to "Earth Mother". Allpa means "earth" and is used when the speaker wishes to refer specifically to the earth itself. Pacha has multiple meanings, which make of it a term more apt to express the Andean understanding of an "Earth Mother". In the first place pacha may be used as a particle attached to a word to give it a sense of plenitude or of superlativeness. Thus, while alli means "good" in Quechua, allipacha means "wholly good" or "best". Secondly, as a word pacha means "world" and "time" simultaneously. Cai pacha, for example, means "this place" or "this world", but it almost always implies "this time" or "at present". According to the Quechua concept, the "Pacha Mama" includes three pachas: jahua pacha, "above world"; cai pacha, "this world"; and ucu pacha, "inner or below world". Jahua pacha contains the powers and forces that can affect the other two worlds; such as, lightening, thunder, rain, hail, rainbows, etc. It is notable that these entities are conceived of as forces responsible for bringing about both creation and destruction. Uniting them within one conceptualization, such as that of lightening, serves to emphasize that they are understood as processes that encompass both creation and destruction, and, by extension, ideas of good and evil. This manner of uniting polar opposites stands in marked contrast to the more Manichean world view of the West.
