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 Jose Aylwin, with the Institute of Indigenous Studies at the University of the Border in Temuco, 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 and Islamic activism in Latin America 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, and is advised by experts from the United States and other countries. Mr. Cayuqueo described the report as “a veritable x-ray” of potential “counterinsurgency scenarios” from now to the year 2020.

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.

Globalisation opens opportunities to ethnic communities that are denied by the strict borders of Nation States and creates a greater possibility for communication and alliance, according to the experts Eduardo Bascuña and John W.

The Mapuche is by far the largest group, comprising around 90 percent of the nation’s indigenous. By only recognizing one “people”—the “Chilean people”—the Chilean Constitution fails to reflect its heterogeneous society, damaging the country’s well-groomed image as one of Latin America’s more open and democratic societies. The country’s indigenous population, particularly the Mapuche community, has long faced racial, economic and political discrimination at the hands of governments dominated by the descendants of Europeans. This has been the case both under civilian governments and the harsh Pinochet regime, which visited particular affliction upon native peoples during its period of rule, 1973-1990. Even in modern Chile, the darker one is the lower one’s standard of living—a reality further intensified under the Pinochet dictatorship. In addition, the Mapuche people, approximately half of whom live off subsistence farming in relatively isolated reservations (called “reductions”) in southern Chile, have been given few opportunities to shape the government-backed development policies that have often resulted in environmental destruction and forced displacement from their traditional lands.

WRM ACTION ALERTS DECEMBER 2001 World Bank Fails to Maintain Logging Moratorium in Papua NG Source: Forests.org Date: 5 December Papua New Guinea's moratorium on new logging has been allowed to lapse. Several logging operations have commenced during the moratorium, violating the conditions of a World Bank loan. In accepting a Structural Adjustment Loan from the World Bank, the government of PNG agreed to a moratorium on new logging concessions until the entire forestry sector was reviewed and properly reformed. The government has not fulfilled their obligation under the loan conditions, yet the Bank refuses to suspend economic lending. The World Bank and government of PNG must be taken to task over failing to ensure the moratorium is maintained, failing to end illegal logging, their failure to suspend further loans, and their continued subsidies and support for commercial forestry (while ignoring alternatives). Please send a letter of protest. You will find further information and a sample letter at: http://forests.org/emailaction/png.htm

ICE Case Studies The Bio-Bio River Case, Chile CASE BACKGROUND ENVIRONMENT ASPECT CONFLICT ASPECT ENVIRONMENT OVERLAP CONFLICT ASPECT ... RELATED INFORMATION I. CASE BACKGROUND 1. Abstract This project is seen by the Pehuenche and environmentalists as a violation of the new Environmental and Indigenous laws. According to the Indigenous Law, Pehuenches cannot be forced to relocate from their land. On June 10, 1997 a group of Pehuenches occupied Chile's Indigenous Affairs Bureau and Environmental Protection Board to protest the licensing of the Ralco Dam saying "The Chilean government has once again shown its colonizing mentality by not respecting our people or the law." ENDESA, the powerful utility company that has expanded to Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Peru, says that it can challenge the law in court. 2. Description Since ENDESA, Chile's biggest and most powerful electrical company, began planning the construction of six interdependent hydroelectric power plants on the Biobio River in the 1960's, the Ralco power plant has been considered the "key component" of this ambitious hydroelectric project. In 1992, ENDESA begin construction on the Pangue Dam, the first major dam built on the Bio-Bio. Pangue is now 70% completed. The arm of the World Bank which funds private sector projects, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), provided a $70 million loan for the dam. The IFC brokered an additional $28 million from the Swedish board for Industrial and Technical Cooperation (BITS), $14 million from the Norwegian Agency for Development Co-operation (NORAD), and $100 million from ten European banks. In response to concerns voiced by these agencies regarding the environmental impacts of a series of dams the IFC asserted that Pangue was the only dam planned for the river despite information that Pangue was designed to work in conjunction with a large reservoir dam upstream, Ralco.

The study, which delves into the history of the native peoples of Chile, sets forth recommendations aimed at "correcting the historic insensitivity" of Chilean society towards the country's indigenous people, who comprise between five and 10 percent of the total population of 16 million. The report proposes, for example, that the constitution be amended to explicitly recognise the existence and identity of indigenous peoples, that reparations be made for damages that Indians have suffered, and that concrete measures be taken to preserve native cultures.

About Us The 'people of the land' November 2003 The plight of the indigenous nation of Mapuche Indians and the systematic abuse of their human rights by the 'democratic' government of Chile is virtually unknown in the west. It seems that indigenous peoples only attract the attention of the 'civilised' west, when matters get out of hand and it becomes impossible to continue to suppress information - recent events in Bolivia are only the most recent example. Yet, the Mapuche story is steeped in a rich history, a proud culture and a unique spiritual mystique that dates centuries, from well before the first European explorations of South America. But it's also a story about struggle and conflict; a struggle for the very survival of the Mapuche culture and a conflict between the rights of an indigenous nation conquered by force and the subsequent assimilationist policies employed by the nexus of corporate state power. True to form, western mainstream media have yet to bring these matters to our attention. The Mapuche people consider themselves to be a people of the land , which derives from the indigenous language

Religion is, indeed, present in protests and visible movements such as those in Mexico or Ecuador, but religion does not appear to be the principal factor or the deepest source of these movements. Thus, alongside the rapid expansion of evangelicals (especially Pentecostals) among the indigenous communities, we also observe the higher profile and the increased respect achieved by ancestral indigenous religious traditions. Elsewhere, intense missionary activity

I N T E R V I E W Mapuche Put Earth First An interview with Floriano Cariqueo Colpihueque In 1989, Floriano Cariqueo Colpihueque founded Promur, an organization that promotes the economic and cultural recovery of Chile's Mapuche people. Cariqueo Colpihueque, who has a degree in political economics from Havana University in Cuba, is a consultant to the United Nations Development Program in Santiago, Chile. Multinational Monitor: Who are the Mapuche? Floriano Cariqueo Colpihueque: We are the first inhabitants of the region south of Chile's Biobio River. Originally we lived as far north as where Santiago is today. Archaeological excavations near Puerto Montt show evidence of our culture dating back 12,000 years. We were known as Araucanos, the name the Spaniards gave us. But we call ourselves Mapuches, or "people of the earth." There are certain minor differences within Mapuche culture. The Pehuenches live in the mountainous interior and take their name from the araucaria tree, which is central to their life. The Huilliches, "people of the forest," live mainly south of Osorno, in the area of Puerto Montt and in Chiloe. Mapuches were the only Hispano-American nation that was never vanquished by the Spaniards. Pedro de Valdivia, a leading Spanish captain, won many battles before dying in combat against the Mapuche. Under the Spaniards, the Mapuche people never lost autonomy, maintaining our territory and independence in 10 million hectares of land south of the Biobio.

Latin America Chile Chile Land distribution is unequal and indigenous peoples have suffered as a result, being driven onto small areas of infertile land CAFOD spent £266,000 in Chile in 2003-04 In 1973 the constitutional government was overthrown by a military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet, who ruled the country as a dictator until an elected president was restored in 1990. CAFOD has worked in Chile since the early 1970s. Key challenges: Indigenous land rights : Due to lack of assistance and credit programmes for small-scale farmers, Mapuche indigenous peoples and communities have lost their land, been driven onto small infertile plots of land or into cities where they form the poorest section of society. Rural Employment : The emergence of large agricultural export businesses has led to the selling of small landholdings and a system of seasonal labour for men and women on large plantations and in fruit-processing factories. Long periods of unemployment present difficulties for rural families, and for women in particular it is a challenge to balance home and family responsibilities with the need to seek work. In response to this, CAFOD is supporting the following organisations:
