The population is ethnically mixed: 55% mestizo (mixed indigenous - Caucasian), 25% Indigenous, 10% Caucasian, 9% African, and 1% other. Although the population was heavily concentrated in the Andes highlands region a few decades ago, today it is divided about equally between that area and the coast. Migration toward cities - particularly Quito and Quayaquil - in all regions has increased the urban population to more than 50%. The rainforest region to the east of the mountains remains the most sparsely populated of Ecuador's three continental regions and contains only about 3% of the population.

Understanding Ecuador: "Indigenous Peoples, Populist Colonels, and Globalization" by Immanuel Wallerstein Fernand Braudel Center, Binghamton University http://fbc.binghamton.edu/commentr.htm Commentary No. 33, Feb. 1, 2000 In the first month of the twenty-first century, a small drama was enacted in Ecuador, a country whose politics seem obscure to most people elsewhere in the world. This small drama however illustrated one of the key issues of the next fifty years. If the last half of the twentieth century was a period of so-called decolonization everywhere - that is, the end of colonial rule by European powers over non-European territories - it is now the turn of the "internally colonized" to make their voices heard. The Vice-President, now President, announced that he would continue the economic policies against which CONAIE was protesting, and that he would seek to punish the army rebels. The U.S. government promptly recognized the new government. The head of CONAIE emerged from hiding briefly to announce that the army had betrayed CONAIE by breaking their solemn promises, that he would seek to negotiate with the new President, but that if, within 3-6 months, there were no changes, the situation might well deteriorate into civil war.

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.

Luis Angel Saavedra explains the background and the dilemmas an increasingly prominent indigenous movement now faces. ON 10 August 1979, after 10 years of military dictatorship, Jaime Rold6s was sworn in as Ecuador's elected President. He made his first speech to the National Congress in Kichwa, the main indigenous language. Politicians and landowners never forgave him, despite the use of indigenous icons such as Ruminahui, who led the fiercest resistance against the Spanish conquest for patriotic purposes. Rold6s died in suspicious circumstances an air crash in May 1981.

Hundreds of Ecuador's native peoples celebrated in the streets near downtown Quito following the signing ceremony.

"Many people are confused and think that the indigenous groups want to disrupt democracy, and we have demonstrated to Ecuador and the world that we want democracy.

Updated Contacts Documents Events Related MMSD Reports Indigenous Peopl es (In cooperation with Mining Policy Research Initiative of the International Development Research Centre Ambiente y Sociedad AMEEF , MMSD Australia) Many of the world's richest land in mineral, energy and biodiversity resources have traditionally been occupied by indigenous peoples. In the past there have been incidences of displacement and land disputes associated with mining activities. Though mining projects can bring jobs, roads, schools and health clinics to remote and impoverished areas, these benefits may be perceived as poor recompense for the loss or damage to indigenous cultures. Political liberalisation, allied to a more consensual approach to resolving land use conflicts, is adding a new dimension to this issue. Indigenous peoples have been gaining increasing power over the incidence of projects in their lands and have achieved important recognition in international agreements: Collective right to consultation prior to any project planning in their lands (ILO Convention 169) The inclusion of operational guidelines for loans for projects in indigenous land (World Bank, OD 4.20)

On April 21 the commission met with the soldiers occupying the community and demanded an explanation for their presence. It also demanded that the soldiers respect the integrity of the families and the rights of the community. On this occasion the Yanayaku community notified the army of the community development and environmental conservation programs they are implementing to conserve the local ecosystem and natural resources; they also clearly stated that they had never seen strangers in the suspected territories. 1.

Volunteer In Ecuador Volunteer Abroad Volunteer In The USA How To Apply ... Request Information Ecuador's People Descendants of Ancient Societies Eleven unique cultures weave harmoniously together to form Ecuador's Indigenous population. By far the largest ethnic group is the Andean Quichua, who number more than two million. The Quichua, the Otavalenos, Salasacas, and Saraguros - all residing in the Ecuadorian Andes - keep the languages of the ancient Incas alive. As a volunteer, you will experience Ecuador through her people.... through the eyes of children, their families and their care-givers. Archaeologists trace the first inhabitants as far back as 10,000 BC, when hunters and gatherers established settlements on the southern coast and in the central highlands. By 3,200 BC three distinct agricultural-based civilizations had emerged, producing some of the hemisphere's oldest known pottery. Advanced indigenous cultures such as the Chorrera, Jama Coaque, Bahia, Tolita, Machalilla and Valdivia ( the oldest known culture in the Americas ), flourished between 12,000 B.C. to 1,500 A.D. in Ecuador territory. Today, Ecuador's population is ethnically mixed: 55 percent mestizo (mixed indigenous - Caucasian), 25 percent Indigenous (Indian),10 percent Caucasian, nine percent African, and one percent other. Years of oil exploration destroyed large sectors of the Amazonian rainforest ecosystem and displaced an indigenous people, the Huaroni, who made the rainforest their home and have now been pushed to the edge of extinction.

Past Events Background Information on Ecuador Indigenous Peoples According to the official numbers of the Ecuadorian government, 25% of the Ecuadorian population is Indigenous. However, other sources consider that the percentage is closer to 45% . Indigenous peoples in Ecuador are divided into 15 Indigenous nationalities that speak 11 distinct languages in addition to Spanish. The Amazonian region is inhabited by the Cof¡n, Secoya, Siona, Huaorani, lowland Quichua, Shuar, Achuar, Shiwiar, and Z¡para nationalities. Seven Quichua peoples inhabit the Sierra: Otavalo, Caranqui, Salasaca, Saraguro, Chibuleo, Chimbu and Ca±ari; and the Awa-Coaquier, Chachi/Cayapa, Epera, Ts¡chila and Huancavilca nationalities inhabit the coastal region. Background The Ecuadorian economy depends largely on the exploitation of petroleum. In 2000, crude exports represented 41.7% of the total income for the Ecuadorian government. Crude reserves in Ecuador are mostly located in the Amazonian region. The rights to exploit subsoil resources belong to the Ecuadorian State .

After repeated delays, the government will auction off large areas of the eastern part of the country to oil companies for oil exploration and exploitation. The process is known as 'block leasing,' and this will be the ninth round since it was introduced. As this series of On the Record goes out, it is still unclear how much land will be leased. For most of 2001 it had been assumed that 13 new 'blocks' would be auctioned, 11 of which would be in the Amazon. Just before Christmas came word that the area would be reduced, and the number of new blocks could be as few as four, perhaps with another four offshore. The final decision is expected soon. If the past is any indication, any new exploitation will be too much. Certainly, it will bring large amounts of foreign investment to Ecuador, but the benefits will likely be offset by the destruction of natural resources, the loss of Ecuador's indigenous culture, and the increased impoverishment of its people.
