Across the Americas, Indigenous Peoples Make Themselves Heard Across the Americas, Indigenous Peoples Make Themselves Heard (Reuters) October 18, 2003 By Hector Tobar , Times Staff Writer EL ALTO, Bolivia - Above the rocky bowl of La Paz, this vast township of brick and adobe homes stretches across a dry plain. This is where the Aymara Indians of western Bolivia come to live and work when their farms can no longer feed them. For the past week, the hardscrabble order of El Alto gave way to a fervor of rebellion. Armed with the traditional weapons of the Aymara people - sticks, slingshots and muscle - its residents fought the army, built barricades and derailed a train, cutting off and shutting down the capital below them. "We are not going to allow ourselves to be pushed around anymore," said Bernaldo Castillo Mollo, a 37-year-old Aymara bricklayer and jack-of-all-trades who was shot in the foot during the protests. "So that our children have a better life than us, we are willing to die." The Indian-led movement that brought down Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada last week was only the most recent and startling expression of a growing militancy and political assertiveness among the native peoples of the Americas. In Ecuador and in Guatemala, indigenous leaders arguably wield more influence in local and national affairs than in any time since the Spanish conquest. And in Chile and Mexico, resistance to the changes brought by the global economy are helping to feed a renaissance of indigenous organizations.

Home Mohawks Kick Cops Off Rez Innu Fight For Housing ... John Graham Insurrection in Bolivia The Bolivain President, Goni, was over thrown during an insurrection by Boliva's population which is over 80% indigenous. In October of 2003, a massive social revolt overthrew the President of Bolivia, forcing him to escape to the United States. The uprising was the culmination of more than 500 years of indigenous resistance to colonization and an escalating cycle of indigenous insurrections which have swept the country in the past four years, involving a variety of tactics, including road blockades, the destruction of corporate and government institutions, and armed struggle against the police and military. Since the October revolt, indigenous peoples have pushed forward, occupying land and estates, ousting police and politicians from several towns, and continuing to waging guerrilla warfare on soldiers who are invading their territory and destroying their land. Bolivia is the poorest and least developed country in Latin America, and the indigenous Aymara, Quechua and Guarani nations make up about 70% of its population. A major source of conflict between indigenous peoples and the Bolivian government is the cultivation of coca. With the backing of the United States, Bolivia has been trying to eradicate Indian coca plantations under the pretext of the "War on Drugs." Traditionally, coca has always been a part of indigenous culture in Bolivia, and has many uses, including compensation for the thin air in the high altitudes of the Andean mountains. The coca plantations are also the only source of income for indigenous peoples living on the land, and so they rightly see the Bolivian army's attempts to eradicate coca as an attempt to eradicate indigenous culture and the indigenous people themselves. Many Indian coca growers were formerly employed in the tin mining industry, and are utilizing their skill with dynamite in their armed resistance to Bolivian soldiers and police.

There have been other cases of FUNAI officials being taken hostage by Indigenous groups as a form of protest. The Xavante Indigenous peoples also wrote a letter to the President of Brazil asking that he stop the building of the Tocantins-Araguaia Hidrovia, which passes through their territory and that of other Indigenous Peoples who live along the Rio das Mortes. They stated that if that if action is not taken to stop the waterway, they will fight the government on the project.

Today's Markets: DJIA NASDAQ Recommended Book: Indigenous people in South America A political awakening Poverty and a new ethnic politics have spawned radical Indian movements in the Andean countries. Are these a threat or a boost to democracy? LUCIO GUARACHI was born in a village on Bolivia's windswept Altiplano, some 4,000 metres (13,000 feet) above sea level. Of Andean Indian descent, he speaks Aymara as well as Spanish. Since he was ten, he has lived mainly in El Alto, an ever-expanding satellite city of 700,000 people whose self-built houses of bare brick or mud and corrugated iron straggle out into the Altiplano above Bolivia's capital, La Paz. He works, when there is work, in a small workshop making water pumps. Last October, he helped to overthrow an elected president. El Alto was the scene of battles between the army and well-organised protestors that ended with at least 59 dead and the resignation of President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, a pro-American mining magnate. The ostensible motive for the protests was a scheme by multinational companies to export liquefied natural gas from Bolivia to California via Chile.

Events The Indigenous Languages of Latin America AILLA houses resources about the indigenous languages spoken from the Rio Bravo (Rio Grande) in the north, to the southernmost tip of Chile in the south, including the islands of the Caribbean. The Rio Bravo forms the border between Mexico and the U.S., so we are using a political boundary, not a social or linguistic one. How many languages are there? There are hundreds of indigenous languages still spoken today in Latin America, although there were probably as many as 1,750 before the beginning of the European invasions (Sherzer, 1991). Campbell (1997) reports between 550 and 700 languages for the whole region, citing sources from the mid-1990's. [Look at thelanguage families tables.] Linguists divide the languages of the Americas into three groups: North America - this group includes the languages of northern Mexico, like Yaqui and Tarahumara. We follow Kaufman 1994a in including these languages in the Meso-American lists for convenience. Meso-America - this region extends from central Mexico into Costa Rica, and includes the Otomanguean and Mayan language families. There 11 families and 3 isolates in this group.

Short term objectives THE FOUNDATION It was established in the city of Sucre by a reunion of the representatives of 39 communities which proposed that the organisation should be controlled and directed by the native people themselves, on the 9th of September 1984. It obtained juridical personality in 1986. It has improved the agricultural infrastructure of dozens of Aymara and Quechua communities building systems of micro-irrigation, greenhouses, community centres, veterinary centres and also mobilising the conservation of soil and reforesting Andean spaces. It has trained indigenous leaders to occupy new spaces of power on the local, regional and national level, which includes and understanding of development as a way to break with the traditional schemes of domination which act against we indigenous peoples. There are hundreds of national and international development organisations in Bolivia, but Kechuaymara is one of the few development institutiions founded on an indigenous philosophy and by indigenous people of the country. It has a board Directors composed of founder members and representatives of indigenous communities who govern the interests of the Foundation. Its technical and professional team is made up, in addition, of indigenous men and women. A BRIEF HISTORY In 1984, Andres Jachakollo and Waskar Tupai Ari, two Bolivian Aymara, as members of a religious organisatiion discovered that spiritual activities were not sufficient to overcome the oppression suffered by the indigenous communities. They gathered educated indigenous people and representatives of indigenous communities to establish an organisation of indigenous communities that did not have religious or party-political ends. Jachakollo and Ari also proposed to set up this institution as a new way of struggling for human rights and dignity for the indigenous peoples, following the same route as the long history of indigenous resistance in the Andes.

During the meeting we examined how the idea of the Permanent Forum had progressed since it was presented in the Global Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993. We also shared information on the process of monitoring and participation which the indigenous representatives have undergone with the Permanent Forum. We were also informed of the resolution taken by the Human Rights Council, its ratification by the Economic and Social Council ECOSOC and its adoption by the United Nations' General Assembly. After having exchanged and analysed various points of view on the course the Permanent Forum is taking, the participating organisations identified their lack of participation in its progression. However, in response to this reflection we confirmed our resolve to participate in the process of making eligible indigenous representation as South America proposes and from this moment forth we will take an active role in the development of the Permanent Forum's activities.

International Decades on Indigenous Peoples Stavenhagen's mission to Chile July 18-29, 2003 Despite the efforts made since the country's return to democracy, the indigenous population continues to be largely ignored and excluded from public life as a result of a long history of rejection, social and economic exclusion and discrimination by the majority in society as the Special Rapporteur states in his report. Chile has still not undertaken constitutional reform in this area and has not yet ratified the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention (No. 169) of the International Labour Organization (ILO). Poverty Human rights problems continue to affect all the indigenous peoples in the country, although public attention has mostly focused on the situation of the Mapuche people. Attention should be drawn above all to the high levels of poverty among indigenous peoples and their low standard of living, which, according to various human development indicators, is below the national average. The Government's welfare policies are important but have so far not been sufficient to redress this situation. One of the most serious long-standing problems affecting indigenous peoples in Chile, according to the Special Rapporteur, relates to land ownership and territorial rights, as a result of a long process that has left them stripped of their lands and resources.

Enter keyword: Volume 16 Spring 2005 Issue No. 3 In This Issue International Indigenous Education subscribe to Tribal College Journal While globalizing their movement, tribal colleges import ideas by Marjane Ambler Thirty-seven years ago, the Navajo people in Arizona created the first tribally-controlled college in the world. This birth fired the imagination of educators and community activists across the United States, who soon began creating their own colleges in the Northern Plains, Midwest, Northwest, and, most recently, in Oklahoma and the East. It is commonly believed that education is a path out of poverty, but this is not necessarily true in places where education is controlled by the colonizer. In many parts of the world, schools are designed to perpetuate the power of the dominant culture. In Peru, for example, few teachers understand the language of the indigenous Quechua people, and secondary education is not available in the rural areas where most Quechua live. It is difficult for the indigenous people to get into universities, and when they are accepted, their values are not reflected in the curriculum. So, as people around the world learned about the tribal college movement, they wanted to learn more. Indian-controlled education is a revolutionary concept that Indian people could control their own education and build institutions that reflect their culture. As tribal college faculty and students travel to other countries and welcome foreign visitors to their campuses, they share the tribal college model. However, the visits are not one-sided. The tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) both teach and learn, giving their ideas and taking home new concepts.
