PROGRAMS Background The Indigenous Peoples and Globalization Program Boycott Against the IDB World Bank Bonds Boycott The Indigenous Peoples and Globalization Program Together with three indigenous-focused groups in Mesoamerica, the Center for Economic Justice (CEJ) is building a hemispheric political movement and mounting pressure to force the international financial institutions, especially the IDB to stop the auction. The goal of the IPG is to enable indigenous communities to impact international economic policy that affects their lives and communities. We do this in four ways: Education: raising awareness about the IDB by distributing popular education materials, a website, and conducting workshops; Organizational Support: helping strengthen the leadership, funding base, and organizational capacity of key indigenous organizations in the fight; Advocacy: developing campaigns so that those affected can advocate effectively for policies which serve their interests; strengthening mobilization and resistance so as to exert pressure on the IDB to stop financing disastrous free trade-related projects in Latin America. Launched in 2003, the IPG came out of three years of discussions between Mesoamerican organizations and CEJ. The organizations are:

Native Planet Indigenous Cultures Pech History The Pech History Introduction The exact origin of the Pech people is still unknown. Some theorize that the Pech may have been part of a migration of peoples from North to South America 7000 years ago that stopped and settled on the land bridge of Central America. Many archeological sites have been discovered on their present territory in southern Honduras. To date, only limited studies have been done on the area but researchers speculate that they are attributable to a specific ethnic group, possibly the ancestors of the Pech. However, linguistic studies indicate that the Pech could be the descendants of tribes from South America. Their language is most similar to that of Chibchaps of Colombia and also shares common roots with that of the Kuna indians of Panama. Thus, with a lack of archeological evidence to the contrary, it is commonly accepted that the Pech are of South American descent. (*According to Adolpho Constena, the Pech language is a derivative from the root of chibchense of the chibcha B language family. The ethnic division happened in the third millenium before Christ, probably between 4300 and 5000 B.C.)

Native Planet Indigenous Cultures Garifuna Garifuna by Jean-Philippe Soule All the black communities living on the Caribbean coast of Central America are commonly called Garifuna or Black Carib, or as they refer to themselves, Garinagu. Over the last three centuries, in spite of many migrations, re-settlements and interactions with Indians, British, French and Spanish, they have preserved much of the culture from their two main branches of ancestry. The Garinagu are the descendants of Caribs Indians and Black African slaves. The Caribs were originally indigenous peoples from South America. They spoke the Arawak Indian language and are believed to have left the Orinoco jungles of Venezuela to settle in the Caribbean. They inhabited various Caribbean islands but were later pushed out by European colonists and were able to keep only two islands, Dominica and Saint Vincent. In 1635 two Spanish ships carrying slaves to the West Indies were ship-wrecked near St. Vincent. The slaves escaped and were welcomed and protected by the Carib Indians. Their intermarriage formed the Garinagu people (known as Garifuna today). The Garinagu still spoke Arawak. They remained on those two islands where they traded with the French. In 1795, the British took control of their islands to start sugar cane plantations. In 1797, British relocated all the Garinagu prisoners along with some black slaves to the island of Roatan in Honduras. From Roatan they moved to the Spanish fort of Trujillo and settled all along the coast from Belize through Honduras to Nicaragua.

In the southern portion of the valley of Mexico and in the jungle region of YucatAn, ancient Mexico reached its highest cultural achievements. The Maya had links with the Chorotega of Nicaragua and Honduras, and these in turn had contacts with the Chibcha of Colombia, thus establishing a Central American cultural chain between the civilizations of Mexico and those of the Andean region. Highly developed civilizations flourished in Mexico after the domestication of corn and the rise of agricultural communities; the

About Us Country Profiles Themes International ... 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.

International Labour Standards Home What are international labour standards? International Labour Standards according to the classified guide > Recent Developments in the ILO concerning indigenous and tribal peoples Recent Developments in the ILO concerning indigenous and tribal peoples Ratifications The ILO is responsible for two international Conventions concerning indigenous and tribal peoples. They are Convention No. 107 of 1957 concerning Indigenous and Tribal Populations , and Convention No. 169 of 1989 concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples . Although Convention No. 107 contains a strong protective element, it was revised because its provisions are now considered outdated because of its rather integrationist approach. However, it remains in force for 20 countries, and is often the only element of international protection available. Convention No. 169, which revised Convention No. 107, has been ratified by 13 countries: Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Fiji, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Norway, Netherlands, Paraguay and Peru. Ratification of this Convention is currently under active consideration in a number of other countries. Technical assistance The practical influence of the ILO Conventions, and in particular Convention No. 169, goes well beyond the number of ratifications. The ILO is heavily involved in technical assistance. To facilitate these efforts within the UN system, inter-agency meetings are held to coordinate technical work among the concerned UN-system organizations and relevant donors. These meetings, held regularly since 1991 and arranged alternatively by the Centre for Human Rights and the ILO, have strengthened inter-agency understanding and cooperation of the different programmes affecting indigenous and tribal peoples.

Defenders of the forests AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Press Release Americas: Indigenous people at high risk of human rights violations AI Index: AMR 01/008/2001 Publish date: 09/08/2001 As the world marks the International Day of the World's Indigenous People, native peoples continue to be the victims of human rights violations including killings and "disappearances" in many parts of the Americas, Amnesty International said today. "Intimidation, harassment and violent attacks against indigenous communities are frequent occurrences in countries including Honduras, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico and Venezuela," the organization added, calling on governments throughout the region to ensure the rights of indigenous people are fully respected. In Colombia, indigenous communities find themselves increasingly caught up in the spiralling civil conflict and are targeted for attacks and killings both by army-backed paramilitaries and armed opposition groups accusing them in turns of collaborating with the other side. Violence and threats against indigenous populations often take place in the context of disputes relating to the lands they live on and to the exploitation, by national and multinational companies, of natural resources on indigenous territories.

Protected Areas Protected Areas. Protected Against Whom? by Oilwatch and World Rainforest Movement This publication has been jointly produced by Oilwatch and the World Rainforest Movement for dissemination at the Seventh Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity which will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 9-20 February 2004. The book contains information disseminated in different formats by both organizations and most of the articles have been previously published in the electronic bulletins of Oilwatch ("Resistance") and the World Rainforest Movement's Bulletin. The level of detail and analysis in the articles varies greatly, as a consequence of the nature of the bulletins, which are intended to serve as a tool, both for individuals and organisations acting on a local level and for those working on an international scale. However we believe that they can all serve to generate a better understanding on the complicated issue of protected areas. We have not included the numerous sources of information on which the various articles were based, due to a lack of space. However, those who are interested in accessing these sources may do so either through the WRM web page (entering the "bulletin" area and looking for the year and month corresponding to the article in question) or through the Oilwatch web page.

The Patuca Dam Project has been put on indefinite hold. I wish to thank all of you who became involved in this campaign to fight what would have been a very destructive megaproject for the local indigenous people and ecosystems. Your concern and involvement did make a difference! Let's congratulate ourselves and keep a watchful eye on any future threats to this beautiful area. For more information you can read Honduras This Week's article: Harza pulls out of Patuca dam project , and Kevin Candee's (Harza's Vicepresident) letter to IRN citing the reasons for abandoning the project. Proposed dams threaten to destroy one of Central America's largest free flowing rivers through the largest expanse of rainforest north of the Amazon basin The Patuca River in Honduras is targeted for a hastily planned series of large hydroelectric dams by a consortium of United States corporations Ahuas Declaration (English) Clickable map of dam site area! Over the past year, plans for a series of very large hydroelectric dams on the Rio Patuca in the Mosquitia region of Honduras have progressed. The private developers are U.S. based Panda Energy International and Harza Engineering. The Patuca River Campaign has been formed by a coalition of concerned groups and individuals who oppose the wholesale destruction of peoples and the environment that the Patuca Hydroelectric Project would bring about. The project is on a fast time line, with a road to access the dam site being planned for construction in December, 1998 to access the site of a proposed 270 MW hydroelectric dam in the heart of the largest biological corridor in Central America. This dam would be the first of two or more hydroelectric dams on the Patuca River with a total installed capacity of at least 700 MW. The first dam, 105 meters high and 435 meters wide, would result in a network of roads and transmission lines in the pristine rainforest as well as a 100 kilometer long, half a km wide reservoir. These actions will open the biological corridor to logging activities, colonization and slash and burn farming, threaten the survival of endangered species, destroy the way of life for the Tawahka, Pech, and Miskito Indians living downstream, contribute to the proliferation of disease vectors (e.g., malaria), and produce significant greenhouse gases from decomposing organic matter in the new reservoir.

This diversity presents a challenge for public health in the Americas, where indigenous peoples are among the most excluded. The response of the Pan American Health Organization is its Health of Indigenous Peoples Initiative, started in 1993, which signifies a commitment by PAHO and its Member States to work with indigenous peoples to improve their health and well being. It is also a recognition of the value and need to conserve indigenous cultural heritage and knowledge. Photos available.

Market women in felt hats, from the indigenous Indian communities of Cotopaxi province, come here three times a week to sell their vegetables. They struggle to make a living at the best of times, but lately the women complain they have never had it so bad. "No one has any money. If this goes on, we are all going to die of hunger," said Laura Espin, a 55-year-old Quichua Indian selling parsley and coriander for 1,000 sucres (four cents) per bunch. Last month, thousands of indigenous men and women in traditional dress many carrying small children on their backs marched 55 miles across the sierra from Latacunga to the capital, Quito, to demand political and economic reforms. The government fell and the country's Harvard-educated president, Jamil Mahuad, was ousted from office.

The very manifestation of their existence has for the most been dismissed by the uninformed. Looking around, one will find: [Lower Creek Nation] of South Carolina; Seminoles of Florida and New York; Narragansetts of Connecticut and New England; Wampanoag of Southern Massachusetts and Tuscaroras of New York and Pennsylvania; among others. The People that has emerged today in the Lesser Antilles are a mixture of all of the above, now referred to as the Bethechilokono [Peaceful People]. While the south-north migration is well documented; the nature of the north-south and trans-Caribbean forced expulsions, need be acknowledge. Trans-Caribbean Phase I On 23 December 1511, King Don Fernando of Spain issued a declaration, which authorized the enslavement of Indigenous Peoples of the Caribbean Basin. "Therefore, by these presents, I give permission and authorization to any and all persons going to my orders to the islands and the mainland of the Ocean Sea discovered up to now, as well as to any other islands, that may be discovered, to make war on the Caribs of San Bernando, San Xoan, Isla Fuerte, Cartagena, Varis Islands, Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Barbados, Tobago and Trinidad.

We expected to see poor patients with minimal access to health care, a dearth of medical supplies, and the medical consequences of Hurricane Mitch. The Lenca Indians are an indigenous group of people that we provided care to. We felt that we'd got more than we bargained for; we saw desperation among normally docile women, who shoved their children towards us and pushed aside friends and neighbours for an opportunity to express their concerns about their children's health as well as their own. Medical clinics were often staffed with one inadequately trained healthcare worker in charge of the health of an entire community.
