First Social Forum of the Americas Nicia Maldonado, President of the National Indian Council of Venezuela (Consejo Nacional Indio de Venezuela CONIVE ), reads the Declaration of Kito II CONTINENTAL SUMMIT OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND NATIONALITIES OF ABYA YALA (21-25 July 2005, Quito - Ecuador) Kito Declaration We are aboriginal peoples from Abya Yala. Our ancestors, our grandparents taught us how to love and revere our bountiful Mother Earth (Pacha Mama) and how to live in harmony and freedom with the natural and spiritual beings that inhabit Her. Our political, economic, social and cultural institutions are a heritage from our ancestors and form the foundations to build our future. The valleys and pampas, the forests and deserts, the mountains and snow reservoirs, the seas and the rivers, the eagle and the condor, the quetzal and the hummingbird, the puma and the jaguar, have been witnesses of our collective socio-political systems based on human and environmental sustainability. Colonizers and national states have robbed us of our ancestral territories; they divided us in order to control us politically and to push us to inhospitable places. The territories we inhabit today are noted for the conservation of biodiversity and the existence of natural resources. Multinational corporations desire these resources, and this provides a new reason for which we suffer further despoliation.

The ILO and ist work on Indigenous And Tribal peoples Chandra K.Roy International Labour Organization Introduction The International Labour Oraganization was established in 1919 just after the first World war. It is founded on the constitutional principle of "social justice" - as a means of securing universal and lasting peace. The ILO' s work is based on the premise that poverty anywhere is a danger to poverty everywhere. Since its creation, it has been working actively to improve the living and working conditions of people around the world, including indigenous and tribal peoples who are often among the most disadvantaged and impoverished groups in any country. The major tool of the ILO in its struggle to secure social justice for all are its conventions. To date the ILO Conference has adopted 181 standards on various subjects such as labour inspection, equality in employment, discrimination, freedom of association etc. The ILO has also adopted the only two international instruments which address the issue of indigenous and tribal peoples. The Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957 (No. 107)

Honduras The Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve is the first and largest Man and the Biosphere Reserve (1980) in Central America. It also is a World Heritage Site (1982) and one of 22 sites on the List of World Heritage in Danger (1996). The Reserve is part of the largest contiguous undeveloped rain forest in Central America. The Reserve covers 815,000 hectares total. The indigenous zone, in which the U.S. Department of the Interior is working, is some 300,000 hectares. Four indigenous peoples the Miskito, Pech, Garífuna and Tawahka-Sumu – inhabit the Reserve. During the past 20 years, settlers from outside have forced many of these peoples from their traditional lands. This process has disrupted traditional economies and introduced a host of environmentally destructive land uses which have resulted in deforestation, environmental contamination and the trafficking of rare animal species. Indigenous peoples want to preserve their cultural identities by preserving native plant and animal communities, developing local economies, and curbing further settlement. When DOI began its work in 1995, the Reserve lacked legal boundaries, and the Government of Honduras had no institutional presence within the Reserve and no means of controlling illegal settlement or destructive land uses. DOI works to promote the conservation of biological diversity by direct actions in the indigenous zone of the Reserve and by helping the Government of Honduras to establish administrative controls throughout the Reserve. Since 1995, DOI has promoted:

Adult literacy rate, like infant mortality rate, is a measurement of a country's development. This measurement gives an indication of how well a country's wealth is used in taking care of its people. Central American Common Market (CACM): Clear-cutting: the removal of all trees in a given area of forest. This process can be contrasted to more selective logging in which only selected trees are cut down. Clear-cutting can lead to many problems, including soil erosion and loss of animal habitat. Cold War: a struggle between the United States and its allies against the Soviet Union and its allies from 1945 to approximately 1990. Although it did not involve direct fighting between these two sides, Cold War-related violence did break out in other parts of the world. For instance, in Central America, groups receiving aid from the United States fought against those receiving aid from the Soviet Union.

53. Honduras Domestic Human Rights Organizations The indigenous peoples of honduras first began forming national organizations inthe 1950s, and in the 1990s, five indigenous organizations were represented http://www.country-studies.com/honduras/domestic-human-rights-organizations.html

Domestic Human Rights Organizations Human rights groups in Honduras first became active in the early 1980s when revolution and counterrevolution brought violence and instability to Central America. In Honduras, these groups organized in response to the mounting level of violence targeted at leftist organizations, particularly from 1982-84, when General Gustavo lvarez commanded the military. Human rights organizations were at times targeted by the Honduran military with harassment and political violence. According to some observers, the United States embassy in Honduras also got involved in a campaign to discredit Honduran human rights organizations at a time when Honduras was serving as a key component of United States policy toward Central America by hosting the Contras and a United States military presence. In the early 1990s, there were three major nongovernmental human rights organizations in Honduras: the Committee for the Defense of Human Rights in Honduras (Comité para la Defensa de Derechos Humanos de HondurasCodeh); the Committee of the Families of the Detained and Disappeared in Honduras (Comité de las Familias de los Detenidos y Desaparecidos HondureñosCofadeh); and the Center of the Investigation and Promotion of Human Rights (Centro de Investigación y Promoción de los Derechos HumanosCiprodeh). Established in 1981 by Ramón Custodio, Codeh became the country's foremost human rights organization in the 1980s, with a network throughout the country. The organization withstood harassment and intimidation by Honduran security forces. In January 1988, Codeh's regional director in northern Honduras, Miguel Ángel Pavón, was assassinated before he was about to testify in a case brought before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR). In 1981 and 1982, Codeh and Cofadeh had brought three cases before the IACHR involving the disappearances of two Hondurans, Ángel Manfredo Velásquez and Saúl Godínez, and two Costa Ricans traveling in Honduras, Fairen Garbi and Yolanda Solís Corrales. The court ultimately found Honduras responsible for the disappearances of the two Hondurans, but not for the two Costa Ricans.

As indigenous leaders of the Americas we congratulate you for initiating policy consultations rather than limiting the discussion to a strategic framework as originally planned.  We wish you every success in this important endeavor. We would like to state at the outset, however, that the consultation plan should be developed in agreement with representative indigenous peoples. In that spirit, please accept the attached proposal for the consultation process. Based on careful analysis of past consultations and of the methodology you have proposed we suggest an alternative methodology. Although it might take longer than you originally proposed, we believe that if you carefully plan this process from the beginning with indigenous participation at all stages you will obtain the best results. We estimate fifteen months minimum for the entire process.

We both have experience as guides, photo-journalists, and teachers yet we go as students. On topics ranging from wilderness survival skills and medicinal plants to social and environmental issues, we look forward to sharing with you images, impressions and insights.
