Home Cymraeg Site map About CAFOD ... Archive Pressure grows 2005-04-20 Pressure grows for indigenous rights in Brazil CAFOD partner Jacir Jose de Souza Government grants more land rights as protest demands better health and education, and more protection against invasions by loggers and miners The president has ratified indigenous rights to land in six areas of the country just ahead of a planned demonstration to coincide with The Day of the Indian in Brasilia. Just three days before the protests on April 19, Lula ratified rights in Raposa Serra do Sol, in the Roraima region, as a sign of his determination to narrow the divide between the nation and its indigenous people. The further five Amazonian areas announced on the day of the demo itself are Roraima, Maranhão, Tocantins, Amazonas and Pará, and will benefit eight ethnic groups. This brings the total number of areas recognised during the Lula government to 55, in line with its policy to recognise 100 by the end of 2006. Speeding up the process It saw a group of 70 indigenous leaders, representing 114 ethnic groups, presenting demands to Brazil's Congress and the president to speed up the process, despite the opposition from local elites, powerful landowners, loggers and miners.

17 October 2000 GA/SHC/3595 DEBATING ACTIVITIES OF INTERNATIONAL DECADE OF WORLD’S INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, THIRD COMMITTEE HEARS CALLS FOR SHARPER DEFINITION OF ‘INDIGENOUS’ Distinction between Indigenous And Other Minorities Should Not Be Blurred, Says China The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues should come up with a precise definition of indigenous peoples in order to keep their concerns separate from those of minorities, the representative of China told the Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) this morning as it concluded its debate on the programme of activities of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (1994-2004). Obscuring the concept of indigenous people, or blurring the distinction between them and other minorities, would gravely undermine the international community’s efforts to protect their rights, she added. It would also endanger the vital interests of genuine indigenous populations. The Forum should pay special attention to the historical backgrounds of indigenous people and to the unique qualities of their populations to ensure they remained intact. The indigenous people themselves should determine the name of the forum, the representative of Venezuela said, adding that the term "indigenous" in his country was a cultural rather than a racial designation. It simply referred to older cultures, those who had lived there before the Europeans arrived.

Press Release United Nations HR/4597 Health needs of indigenous people stressed at Permanent Forum (Reissued as received from a UN Information Officer.) Summarizing the statements of several participants, Forum member Mililani Trask (United States) said underlying causes of poor health for indigenous people included colonization, homelessness, poor housing, poverty, lack of reproductive health rights, domestic violence and addiction.  Health care should be envisaged from an indigenous perspective, which encompassed mental, physical and spiritual health.  There was a direct relationship between land use and indigenous health.  Indigenous women and children had special needs, including expanding immunization and combating domestic abuse and addiction. Earlier, statements on the issue of health had been made by 12 indigenous organizations, the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Continuing the statement of Brazil, Azilene Kaingang, an indigenous leader, stressed the considerable changes that had taken place in Brazilian society, where the aspirations of indigenous peoples were now recognized and supported.  Indigenous peoples wanted to keep their own social structures and cultures, enjoy the use of their lands to ensure the continuity of their cultures, and preserve biodiversity and traditional knowledge to achieve sustainable development.

Find your way: Indigenous peoples in Brazil Who, where, how many Encyclopedia Who they are Where they are How many they are General table Encyclopedia This page provides links below to articles containing information about indigenous groups that live in Brazil today. In the introduction, we discuss some of the problems surrounding methods of classifying these groups and limitations in the data available for our articles. :: Introduction :: Which group? :: Special articles Introduction Our goal in putting together this Encyclopedia of Indigenous Peoples is, eventually, to offer articles that provide information about all the different groups native to Brazil. This will not be an easy task to complete. Throughout their history, especially since foreign contact, these groups have gone through processes of fission and fusion. This makes it difficult to decide on criteria for distinguishing among various peoples, communities, and sub-groups. Sometimes the criteria may seem arbitrary, and decisions about which to follow are subject to debate. Moreover, most ethnic groups are known by more than one name. As a result, any system of classifying indigenous peoples into a list is imprecise and provisional. Our list of indigenous groups may need to be expanded, for instance, when

National Meeting of the Indigenous Peoples and Organisations of Brazil 25-30 April 2003 FINAL DOCUMENT We are profoundly concerned with the escalation in violence against our peoples which since the beginning of this year has resulted in the murder of seven Indians, as a result of the failure to guarantee our territories and as a result of prejudice. In the four months since the present government came to power, when hopes won out over fear, we are surprised that an indigenist policy has still not been defined and that the delays over the ratification of the Indigenous Territories continue. The National Security Council''s review of the demarcation process was flagrantly illegal. We state that the violence against our peoples is growing, owing to the government''s inability to guarantee our historical rights to the land which we have traditionally occupied. We do not accept the superimposition of Conservation Areas in indigenous lands, because they compromise our rights to the exclusive usufruct of ours land''s natural riches and create enormous difficulties for our communities. We hope that, after the long years of struggle, the government will finally guarantee public policies in the areas of education, health and sustainability which are specific and differentiated,permitting respect for ethnic and cultural diversity and the resources necessary for their implementation.

TROPICAL RAINFORESTS HOT Deforestation Amazon Deforestation Amazon Rainforest Home ... Contact Human Inhabitants AMERICAN PEOPLES OF THE RAINFOREST The American rainforests were once home to some of the world's most developed civilizations of antiquity including those of the Incas (Andes), Mayas (Central America), and Aztecs (Central America). These peoples created vast metropolises and made great developments in agriculture and the sciences. However all this changed with the arrival of Europeans in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. An estimated 7-10 million Amerindians (the term for American indigenous peoples) lived in American rainforests, half of them in Brazil, at the time of European arrival. When Pizarro arrived in Peru, more land was under cultivation and more food was being produced in the Andean region than is today. The grandest civilizations with expansive cities, wealth of gold, and technological achievements, existed in the Andes, though many Amerindians also lived in the Amazon. The Amazon has a long history of human settlement. Contrary to popular belief, sizeable and sedentary societies of great complexity existed in the Amazon rainforest [

It is larger than the United States if Alaska is not counted. Located in South America, it represents almost half of the extension of that continent. It is bordered by all South American countries, except Chile and Ecuador, and by the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Brazil is the only Portuguese-speaking country in Latin America and is the eighth largest economy in the world. Traditional peoples in Brazil live in and use the forest without destroying it; in fact, their efforts have succeeded in preserving and maintaining several large areas. Indigenous peoples Indigenous peoples are found scattered throughout the entire territory, except in the states of Piau­ and Rio Grande do Norte, in the Northeastern part of the country. They are distributed among thousands of villages located within 593 Indigenous lands. Several Indigenous peoples within Brazil also live in neighboring countries.

Amazon Update: September 1997 No. 28 In Brief: Coalition Office News REGIONAL SEMINAR OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF BRAZIL, VENEZUELA AND GUYANA Indigenous peoples from the three countries met to discuss regional development projects including the Guri transmission line, the Georgetown-Boa Vista Road, BR-174, and mining in all three countries, among others. The Venezuelan delegation focused on their opposition to the Guri transmission line as well as Venezuela's archaic laws with regard to indigenous peoples. CONIVE made a concerted call to the international community to support CONIVE's renewed campaign to get the Venezuelan government to bring their national laws with respect to indigenous peoples in line with international standards. With regard to the Guri transmission line, CIR is calling for the Roraima to guarantee indigenous land rights and environmental protection before building the line. They also oppose the line crossing indigenous lands. In Guyana, the government is planning to improve the road from Boa Vista to Georgetown. Amerindians are demanding that outstanding land rights issues, both in general and in conjunction with road, be addressed before the government continues. Amerindians in Guyana are also threatened by numerous mining and logging projects and often are not consulted or notified when the concessions are granted.
