Institute of Indigenous Studies University of La Frontera Temuco, Chile (Master Program, Faculty of Law, UBC) * Paper presented at the Canadian Association for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CALACS) XXVIII Congress, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, B.C., March 19-21, 1998. 1. INTRODUCTION. Chile has historically denied its ethnic and cultural diversity. The country's ruling class has been able to build and internalize in the minds of the people the idea that ours is a racially homogenous society, basically of European origin. This idea, which for centuries has been promoted through different means, including family, school, and literature, became dominant during the republican period, giving birth to the myth, still believed by many, of the Chileans as being the "English of South America". The few recognitions that were made regarding indigenous peoples' dealt with their past, not with their present. The image of the brave Mapuche who resisted the Spaniard conqueror due to their libertarian spirit, became socially accepted and promoted. Consistent with these ideas, until recently their current population was perceived by many as remaining pockets of the so called "Araucanian indians", living in small areas of lands or "reducciones" which were left to them after their territory was occupied by the army at the end of the last century.

TEMUCO-WALLMAPUCHE DECLARATION ON THE NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THEIR RIGHTS The Mapuche nation's organization Aukin Wallmapu Ngulam-Consejo de Todas las Tierras (Council of All the Lands), convened a conference on November 30, and December 1-2, 1994 to analyze the implication that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will have for Indigenous peoples that live in Chile and in America. Among those attending were Indigenous representatives from Peru, Mexico, and Argentina. The event concluded with a religious ceremony in a Mapuche community. The conference addressed the North American Free Trade Agreement in relation to the following themes: Indigenous lands and territories and their natural resources; Mapuche knowledge, Indigenous people's intellectual property; economy and development with Indigenous identity; international and national legislation; Indigenous peoples right to free-determination; the international decade of Indigenous peoples of the world. NATURE OF THE FREE TRADE AGREEMENT Considering that the free trade agreement is essentially economicist, serving to accumulate wealth for a small minority and to create poverty and exclusion for the great majority of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, Being a new form of expansion of colonialism and neocolonialism expressed in the economic sphere

In the United States ”there is a perception of indigenous activists as destabilizing elements and terrorists,” and their demands and activism have begun to be cast in a criminal light, lawyer José Aylwin, with the Institute of Indigenous Studies at the University of the Border in Temuco (670 km south of the Chilean capital), told IPS. Pedro Cayuqueo, director of the Mapuche newspaper Azkintuwe, also from the city of Temuco, wrote that the growing indigenous activism in Latin America and Islamic radicalism are both depicted as threats to the security and hegemony of the United States in the ”Global Trends 2020 - Mapping the Global Future” study by the U.S. National Intelligence Council (NIC). NIC works with 13 government agencies, including the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), and is advised by experts from the United States and other countries. Cayuqueo described the report as ”a veritable x-ray” of potential ”counterinsurgency scenarios” from now to the year 2020.

South America "In the Andes, Nurturance is at the Very Heart of Life" (Land of the Inkas) The indigenous peoples (aboriginal peoples) of South America are found from the Isthmus of Panama to Tierra del Fuego. An estimated 30 million people were living there when the Europeans arrived. In the Andean region extensive remains show developed cultures at Chav’n de Hu‡ntar and among the Paracas in Peru. The Mochica, Chimu, and Nazca in Peru, the Chibcha and Aymara of the Andes, and the Araucanos and Mapuche of Chile had socially complex pre-Columbian cultures, surpassed only by the Inca. Descendants of these peoples live today in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northwestern Argentina, and Chile. Quechua , spoken by the Inca, is the most widely spoken language in South America. Since the Spanish conquest indigenous peoples have been used as laborers, poorly paid and lacking political representation; these conditions of semiservitude are changing slowly. Some, notably the Inca, play a significant role in the national culture; but many live in small, peripheral groups. A few descendants of the Arawaks and Caribs live in Venezuela, the Guianas, and Northern Brazil. The Guaran’ in Brazil are few and scattered, but in Paraguay their language is widely spoken and, like Quechua in Bolivia, is the official language of the country.

Cover Page Contents Subscribe Back Issues INDIGENOUS RIGHTS A new dawn for native peoples Communities take charge of their own development by Víctor Hugo Cárdenas ** After centuries of existence at the margins of society, Latin America's indigenous peoples are now entering their countries' economic and political mainstream. The population of indigenous peoples is increasing, and the territory they occupy is expanding. They are becoming full-fledged players in their nations' economies, and in some cases, the international economy. Their languages and cultures are not only surviving, but are becoming newly invigorated. Many countries have made constitutional, legal and institutional reforms that are reshaping the traditional relationship between indigenous communities and the nation state. The constitutions of Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico and Paraguay, for example, now recognize the multicultural character of states and the existence within them of indigenous peoples as unique entities with specific rights and distinct cultures and languages. In a number of countries, governments are granting indigenous communities the authority to manage their own affairs as well as the natural resources of the areas in which they live. In addition, national institutions charged with managing relations between the government and indigenous communities are being upgraded in rank in Bolivia, Ecuador and Perú, converted into financial support agencies in Guatemala and Chile, or given juridical functions to promote indigenous rights, as in Mexico.

Featured Projects Bering Sea Philippines Nepal Chile ... Mozambique Working with Native Communities to Study Toxic Pollution ^ Back to Top ^ Managing Fisheries to Better Serve Communities in the Philippines Healthy, well-managed fisheries are critical to the well-being of local communities around Balayan Bay in the Philippines. WWF has partnered with communities, municipal governments and others to deter commercial fishing and destructive practices that threaten municipal fishing areas and overall aquatic health in the area. The program initially helped organize residents of two municipalities to undertake regular patrols and deter the entry of commercial fishers into areas designated for municipal artisanal fisheries. Destructive fishing practices declined, while daily catches by local families increased fivefold. Building on these results, WWF has helped to support community-to-community exchanges to expand community-based management activities across the Balayan Bay seascape. ^ Back to Top ^ Community Forestry and Wildlife Corridors in Nepal's Terai Arc Landscape Building on past work with communities on forest management in protected area buffer zones, WWF and partners are supporting the extension of community forestry in priority forest corridors across the Terai Arc landscape. WWF works with partners to support the formation, legalization and strengthening of community forest user groups and the development of required management plans across the landscape. Since 2001, more than 16,000 acres of government forest land have been handed over to communities in priority areas. The strategy has been endorsed by the Nepalese government and includes a strong focus on community rights to use forest resources.
