COICA Coordinating Body for the Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin The Coordinating Body for the Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA) is a group that brings more than four hundred indigenous people together. It was founded in Lima Peru in 1982 in order for native people to be able to defend their rights, fight for the survival of their culture, and to exchange experiences in to find solutions to their various problems. Since 1992 COICA has made its headquarters in Quito, Ecuador. They have a Congress that meets every four years in order to make up policies and find new authorities. It is this group that comes up with official goals such as the desire to promote and develop the interaction between indigenous peoples and COICA members. They also want to be able to defend territorial restoration, indigenous peoples self-determination and the human rights of its members. An additional goal is to strengthen the unity for the region's indigenous peoples; and finally, to promote the cultural comeback and recuperation of the Amazon indigenous peoples. Today the group has accomplished such feats as allowing indigenous peoples to be educated in their native languages. They have also founded an Amazon Indigenous University. Both of these things are part of the push for recuperation and revalorization of traditional cultures.

People in the Amazon Rainforest (more on rainforest people Many of these populations existed along large rivers where they had good means of transportation, excellent fishing, and fertile floodplain soils for agriculture. However, when Europeans arrived, these were the first settlements to be affected since Europeans used the major rivers as highways to the interior. In the first century of European presence, the Amerindian population was reduced by 90%. Most of the remaining peoples lived in the interior of the forest: either pushed there by the Europeans, or traditionally living there in smaller groups. The period of time from Pizarro's conquest of the Incan empire until the end of the Brazilian rubber boom around the beginning of the first world war. The Spanish and Portuguese, in the name of the Catholic religion with blessing from popes, started the bloodshed. For centuries, priests and their armies of converts committed atrocities against the indigenous Indians that rivaled those committed by Hitler and the Nazis during the Second World War. After independence the slaughter was continued by rubber tappers. The bloody legacy will not be soon forgotten by South America's indigenous peoples. Amazonians Today Largest Cities in the Amazon The bulk of the human population in the Amazon Basin is found in a cities which have emerged from the surrounding rainforest to become significant population centers. Outside the cities and towns, the Amazon is sparsely populated.

Overview Focus: Land Rights in the Amazon River Basin Project: Family Tree Focus: Land Rights in the Amazon River Basin Time and Place The Amazon River Basin is a lush rainforest extending into nine Latin American countries. It holds countless natural resources and is home to over 300 Indigenous Peoples. Many different groups have interests in the Amazon. The governments of Ecuador, Brazil and Peru use the land and resources to increase the income of their countries. Transnational corporations interested in extracting raw materials such as gold, tin, iron, and oil are also claiming land in the region. Many of these claims conflict with the ancestral homelands of Indigenous Peoples. Meanwhile, new contracts bring more industry to the Amazon. People UN/DPI photo: Joseane Daher In the Amazon today, groups like the Kayapo and Waiapi in Brazil, the Yanomami in Brazil and Venezuela, the Quichua and the Shuar in Equador, the Ashaninka in Peru, and the Aymara in Bolivia all face similar struggles in preserving their lands.

Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues HR/4599 First Session 21 May 2002 th and 14 th REPRESENTATIVES OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES VOICE HUMAN RIGHTS CONCERNS AT PERMANENT FORUM Proscription of Traditional Languages, Usurpation of Lands, Genocide among Issues Raised Representatives of indigenous peoples from around the world voiced particular and collective grievances in morning and afternoon meetings today, as the Permanent Forum for Indigenous Issues continued its historic first session with an open debate on human rights issues. From Alaska to Baja California to the San Andreas Islands of Colombia, from the Saami region of Scandinavia to Siberia to the Maluccas of Indonesia, and from across Africa and Australia, such representatives spoke of abuses ranging from proscription of traditional languages to usurpation of lands to genocide, while suggesting means for the new Forum to promote their common rights in a draft Declaration and throughout the United Nations system. Representatives of some United Nations Member States were also present to listen and contribute their perspectives. A common theme that ran through the discussion today was that general notions of human rights, as well as existing human rights instruments, could serve as a framework for indigenous rights.

Now, with the current wave of hydrocarbon exploration underway, the oil industry is entering new frontiers and regions which are home to a myriad of indigenous cultures. From the Amazon to Asia to the Arctic, these indigenous peoples' ways of life are built on age-old traditions and deep ties to and interdependence with the ecosystems where they live. While change is a continual and natural process for all cultures, the imposition of massive industrial projects on traditional peoples - without their consent and often against their will - has led to a loss of control over their own development as a people. Concern rests not on romantic notions of "preserving" indigenous cultures as static relics, but rather on the oil industry's systematic violation of indigenous peoples' right to forge their own development path on their own cultural terms.
