EDC preempts court decisions, finances second Biobío dam in Chile Press Advisory, August 28, 2000 Probe International Canada's Export Development Corp. is financing Chile's largest and most controversial hydro dam, even though the Chilean courts have yet to decide whether or not the dam on southern Chile's Biobío river is legal. "There are still three lawsuits against this dam before the courts," says Juan Pablo Orrego Silva, an ecologist with the Chilean Action Group for the Biobío (GABB), which is opposed to hydro development along the river. During a Quebec trade mission to Chile in May, ABB Alstom Power Canada of Tracy, Que., announced a C$27-million deal to supply Chile's largest utility, Endesa, with generating equipment for the Ralco dam. Probe International has since confirmed that the EDC is supporting the Quebec sale with US$17-million in financing. According to EDC spokesperson, Rod Giles, the proposed dam met all of EDC's environmental criteria but the agency, exempt from Canada's Access to Information law, has refused to disclose further details.

On occasion of the meeting of the APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade in Pucon and Villarrica, Chile June 4-5, the organizations and territorial identities subscribing to this letter wish to signal the following: These meetings in Pucon and Villarrica are located in ancestral Mapuche territorry, which was usurped by the Chilean state. Likewise, we have summoned the President of Chile, Ricardo Lagos Escobar, to stop the folklorization of our culture and its existence in this meeting, an open provocation given that we already feel like we are victims of jail, repression, and the criminalization of our legitimate collective demands as a people; all at the hands of the government and influential factional groups. It is essential to note that today, important Mapuche leaders within our territories are imprisoned-all of this in the name of the same economic model that your economies represent and that you plan to continue consolidating in our territory, increasing the colonialization and usurpation of our lands, of our natural resources, and of our traditional knowledge.

@import "css/estilos_w3c_bak.css"; The Mapuches Cultural Links Photos of Beneficiaries Español Search this site Home Beneficiaries The Mapuches General Characteristics Obviously it is impossible to capture every trait of a race of people. The following list is a simple attempt to identify several of the most prominent, characteristics that illustrate the Mapuche culture: A profound feeling of attachment to the land and the nature. A simple illustration of this is through the word “mapuche”, which in mapudungum, their indigenous language, means "people of the land". The word “mapu” or land is essential to the Mapuche culture since it is inextricably linked to the supernatural and the sacred. To Mapuches, land is not the property of any one individual but instead is an asset shared by the whole community. Mapudungum is often still the traditional language spoken in rural communities and at official communal gatherings. Work is often carried out in a communal fashion, involving the entire community and maintaining strong family ties. Many Mapuches still participate in “mingakos” or work collectives in order to assist a member of the community during harvest time. Traditional wooden houses with thatched roofs, “rukas” are still used by many indigenous families for daily meals and special occasions.

The battle of native people for cultural (and often physical) survival in both the Third World and industrial societies is a little known reality. Here are some of the global flashpoints of native struggle. To read the story from each country, click on one of the countries highlighted below. UNITED STATES Big Mountain Background: About 150,000 Navajo live in the Big Mountain area of Arizona on land bordering Utah, New Mexico and Colorado. In the middle of the Navajo’s 17 million acres is a 640,000 acre Hopi reservation. The Navajo and Hopi have peacefully shared a 1.8 million acre Joint Use Area (JUA) for years. Aggression: A pro-development Hopi Tribal Council, with connections to the mining industry, initiated a lawsuit to gain title to the JUA. In 1974 the US Congress passed the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act which stipulated that all Navajo (about 10,000) on the JUA would be relocated by 1986; so far 7,000 Navajo have been moved. The 40,000 acres set aside for resettlement are on the Puerco River - which was heavily contaminated by a 1979 nuclear waste spill. A legislated 90% reduction in Navajo livestock (mostly sheep) has severely affected the native economy and way of life.

UBC Law Theses and Dissertation Abstracts Indigenous Peoples' Rights in Chile and Canada : A Comparative Study José Antonio Aylwin (LL.M. 1999) ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the past and present realities of the rights of Indigenous peoples in Chile and Canada from a comparative perspective. In Chapter I, the author explains the international human rights and Indigenous peoples' law that provide the theoretical framework behind this study. The political and territorial rights that different international forums have acknowledged to these peoples in recent years are identified. The methodology used in the elaboration of this study, which includes the analysis of documentary data, the case study and the interview methods, is explained. The author describes the objective of this study, characterizing it as applied social research aimed at providing information that can be useful for the transformation process in which the peoples that are subject of the this study are involved. In Chapters II and III, the author analyses the rights of Indigenous peoples in Chile and Canada respectively from pre-contact until today. The central aspects of their pre-contact cultures and organizations are described. The author also describes main characteristics of the relationships that were established with Indigenous peoples by the Spanish in Chile and by the French and the English in Canada, and later by the states in the two contexts. Special importance is given to those changes recently introduced in the Indigenous-state relationship in both contexts, focusing on their implications for these peoples' rights.

The vast majority of the 912 reported cases of disappearance occurred between 1973 and 1976 under the military government, and concerned political opponents of the military dictatorship from various social strata, most of them activists in Chilean left-wing parties. Those responsible for the disappearances were members of the army, the air force, the Carabineros and persons acting with the acquiescence of the authorities. During the period under review, no new information on these cases was received from the government.

Urgent appeal for solidarity with Mapuche Indigenous people of Chile May 14, 1997 Today, more than 500 Mapuche indigenous people have taken to the streets in Santiago, Chile on a march to protest continuing efforts by the Chilean government to deny them fundamental rights guaranteed under Chilean law. Motivating this historic protest are recent events involving not only actions by the Chilean government, but also involving the Indigenous Fund, a multilateral fund which is administered by the Inter-American Development Bank and other agencies, supposedly with democratic indigenous representation. Brief background: In late April, Chilean President Frei fired the Director of the National Commission on Indigenous Development (CONADI), Mauricio Huenchulaf. Huenchulaf had taken a strong position in support of the rights of Mapuches fighting the Ralco Dam on the Biobio River, which would submerge two Pehuenche villages, and other projects which would directly impact Chilean indigenous territories. He based his position upon guarantees of indigenous rights in Chile's Indigenous Peoples Law. Mapuche leaders occupied the headquarters of CONADI and issued a statement calling Huenchulaf's sacking "the intervention and brutal destruction of an institution created to contribute to the protection and promotion of our rights, and which now has been converted into an obstacle to them, favoring instead the megaprojects of an authoritarian modernization which is leaving our country without a soul and without roots, which looks greedily at our few remaining ancestral territories".

PENNY CABOT A DAM OF DESTRUCTION Building a new dam on the great river, Biobjo, in southern Chile will destroy the culture and livelihood of thousands of indigenous people. T HE TRAGEDY happening in southern Chile is a stark example of misguided economic development policies. The people who would be displaced by the mega-dam planned for the Biobio River have been very vocal in their opposition to this project. But who is listening? The 1994 Indigenous Law of Chile states that these indigenous people have the right to remain on their land and may not be forcibly removed. Yet, it seems clear that the government of President Eduardo Frei is determined that this project go ahead There is every indication that the government will decide that the 1982 Law of Electrical Services, enacted under Pinochet, overrules the Indigenous Law, weakening the rights of indigenous peoples and undermining the power of the fragile new democracy. In the rugged foothills of the Chilean Andes, 500 kilometres south of Santiago, the great River Biobio rushes by on its 380 kilometre journey to the Pacific Ocean, a journey that began 10,000 feet up in the glacial waters of Lake Galletue near the Argentinian border. The river runs down through a green panorama sprinkled with rare and endangered plant and animal species. Forests of protected araucaria or monkey-puzzle trees interrupt the line of the horizon. Rising above are the snow-capped, seismically active, peaks of Calliqui and Lonquimay. This is the second most seismically active region in the world.
