Contact Us You are in: Home News Stories News Stories Americas: Indigenous peoples Second-class citizens in the lands of their ancestors 11 October 2002 Ten years ago, on the 500th anniversary of the arrival of the first Europeans in the American continent, the descendants of the continent's indigenous peoples vocally reclaimed their rights and identity. Today, they remain among the most marginalised and poorest communities, discriminated against and often exposed to grave abuses of their fundamental rights, Amnesty International said today. The statement came on the eve of the day known as Columbus Day, Día de la Raza or Native American Day in which several countries in the Americas celebrate the continent's multicultural heritage. "More than half the countries on the continent recognize the multicultural character of the state and guarantee indigenous rights in their constitutions and legislation. However, this is in stark contrast with the reality faced by the vast majority of indigenous people from Canada, through Central America, down to the very tip of Chile and Argentina, who are often treated as second-class citizens," Amnesty International said. "Basic rights of indigenous communities, including the right to land and to cultural identity in the use of language, education and the administration of justice are systematically violated in a variety of countries," the organization added.

Issue 2: strategies for choosing among data-collection methods In the last decades, which have been characterized by the globalization of the economy, new issues have appeared that are difficult to capture in a conventional census. Therefore, the census is an inadequate tool to fully capture and to monitor the extent of some changes. This produces a true “hiatus” between social and statistical realities that can be solved only by redefining the census and adopting improved strategies to accompany the census. The pressure from minorities (indigenous and disabled people) to know their total number, characteristics and location in the territory in order to defend their fundamental rights leads to increasing requirements for information from censuses. For this reason, during the planning of the next census of population (October 2001), the national office of statistics (INDEC) in Argentina has undertaken diverse activities together with public and private users that intend to expand information on the topics mentioned above. On the one hand, strategies to improve the validity of the results and to make some aspects of the “social” reality more statistically “real” are being developed. On the other hand, methodologies to understand phenomena of a very complex nature that have not been properly captured in censuses are being studied and tested. Special groups include the disabled population, indigenous peoples and the population of international migrants, particularly those from neighbouring countries.

A Call to Action! Indigenous Peoples Declaration Against the United States Invasion of Iraq Submitted to NativeNews by: Elsbeth Vocat Ottawa - Canada - (Posted on Apr-01-2003) The representatives of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas gathered during the second Annual Forum of Connectivity in Ottawa, Canada on March 24-26, 2003 and expressed the following: This genocide is a crime against humanity and violates international law as well as human and legal rights. This is a criminal invasion and it is killing innocent children, women and the elderly. It lacks any kind of legitimacy and cannot be justified as it violates all declarations to live in peace. It violates the self determination and sovereignty of peoples and the consensus reached by most states represented in the United Nations. The representatives of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas strongly request that all those responsible for these criminal acts be brought to the International War Crimes Court and be condemned internationally. We urge the United Nations to call for an emergency meeting of the Security Council to condemn the United States government, and its allies decision to go to war and we call for an immediate cease fire, while re-establishing diplomacy to end this conflict. Furthermore, we reject any new government imposed by the United States as it will only justify its presence in Iraq to protect its own geo- political and geo-economic interests.

Mr. Lortie opened the session by outlining recent developments in the hemisphere since the Quebec City Summit in 2001 and emphasizing the need for leaders to regroup and discuss some of the challenges the hemisphere has faced over the past two years, politically, socially and economically. Economies are stagnant and there is a lot of political unrest in the region. Leaders need to come together to address these issues and find ways to restore confidence in the region. Although there will be no new Plan of Action coming out of the Special Summit, certain key initiatives will give impetus to hemispheric cooperation as the region prepares for the IV Summit of the Americas, in Argentina, in 2005. Substantive preparations for the Special Summit formally began at a meeting of the Summit Implementation Review Group (SIRG), September 21-22, 2003. The Special Summit, meant to reinject momentum in the Quebec City Summit Plan of Action, will touch on the three main themes: Economic Growth with Equity, Democratic Governance, and Social Development. It is intended to focus on specific themes such as Health and Education and the reaffirmation of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) will not be part of the formal agenda.

The human rights group Amnesty International says America's native peoples are still one of the most marginalised and poorest communities in the world, discriminated against and often exposed to grave abuses of their fundamental human rights. Many people are forced to sleep on the streets Amnesty published the report to coincide with Columbus or Native American Day, when several countries celebrate the continent's multicultural heritage and mark the arrival in the Americas of Christopher Columbus in 1492. "Basic rights of indigenous communities, including the right to land and to cultural identity in the use of language, education and the administration of justice are systematically violated," the report says. "Racism and discrimination entrenched in most societies make indigenous people more vulnerable to human rights violations including torture and ill-treatment, 'disappearance' and unlawful killings," Amnesty argues.

Our ancestors, our grandparents taught us how to love and revere our bountiful Mother Earth (Pacha Mama) and how to live in harmony and freedom with the natural and spiritual beings that inhabit Her. Our political, economic, social and cultural institutions are a heritage from our ancestors and form the foundations to build our future. The valleys and pampas, the forests and deserts, the mountains and snow reservoirs, the seas and the rivers, the eagle and the condor, the quetzal and the hummingbird, the puma and the jaguar, have been witnesses of our collective socio-political systems based on human and environmental sustainability. Colonizers and national states have robbed us of our ancestral territories; they divided us in order to control us politically and to push us to inhospitable places. The territories we inhabit today are noted for the conservation of biodiversity and the existence of natural resources. Multinational corporations desire these resources, and this provides a new reason for which we suffer further despoliation.

Polish: Zywiec Mountain Dance Related Topics: Shadow Puppetry Gravity DNA Argentine Dance 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.

Since then, CAFOD's partners in the region have faced huge challenges, from civil conflict and widespread human rights abuses to devastating natural disasters such as Hurricane Mitch in 1998 and the earthquakes in El Salvador in 2001.

Indigenous peoples - whose tribal land has been collectively held for centuries - want to keep their culture alive but are often denied their rights. For example in Brazil, the land and cultural rights of many indigenous people, such as the Guarani, Awá, and Yanomami, are under serious threat.

Convention Abbreviation: CERD COMMITTEE ON THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION Fifty-eighth session CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS SUBMITTED BY STATES PARTIES UNDER ARTICLE 9 OF THE CONVENTION Concluding observations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination ARGENTINA 1. The Committee considered the fifteenth periodic report of Argentina (CERD/C/338/Add.9), which was due on 4 January 1998, at its 1439th and 1440th meetings (CERD/C/SR.1439 and 1440), held on 6 and 7 March 2001. At its 1457th meeting (CERD/C/SR.1457), held on 19 March 2001, it adopted the following concluding observations. Introduction 2. The Committee welcomes the report submitted by Argentina and appreciates the supplementary updated information provided by the delegation orally and in writing, and also its detailed and frank answers to the questions and comments formulated by members of the Committee. Factors and difficulties impeding the implementation of the Convention 3. The Committee notes that Argentina is still experiencing a difficult economic situation. In particular, this situation affects vulnerable population groups, such as indigenous groups, and immigrants from neighbouring countries, many of whom are undocumented. This economic situation also results in budgetary constraints for government agencies responsible for combating racial discrimination and taking measures in favour of the most vulnerable groups.
