http://www.indians.org/welker/menchu7.htm

Extractions: Indigenous Women Are Being Marginalized at the Beijing Conference by Rosa Rojas "It's a fact that the immense majority of the organizations that planned the Beijing World Congress (on Women) have marginalized indigenous women," claimed the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu, who estimated that because of this, "indigenous women will not be taken into account in the women's agenda." In an interview with La Jornada, she warned that she will participate "with reservations" at the invitation of the UNESCO Director Federico Mayor in an event during which, in the company of some First Ladies and other personalities, a call will be made today (Monday, September 4) for a full and decentralized education for women at this end of the millennium. Nevertheless, she underlined, "I don't represent anyone...I don't think that because of my participation, indigenous women have participated" or been given a "worthy place" in the preparatory meetings for Beijing. She refered to the fact that she, like other indigenous women, exhorted that this situation be corrected, especially at the Mar de Plata Conference of 1994, when "I made a call, a petition, and thought that it was understood I didn't want to participate in the Mar de la Plata meeting because I thought the absence of indigenous women could not be justified just because Rigoberta Menchu participated and gave a message."

Extractions: Recommendations VI. Other recommendations to promote peace and national harmony The CEH believes that for the promotion of peace and national harmony it is necessary to know and face the causes of the armed confrontation and its consequences, in such a way as to put an end to the social, ethnic and cultural divisions in Guatemala. Equally necessary, are social participation and the contribution of all Guatemalans without discrimination in the fulfilment of public duties. Although the CEHs Report should serve as a fundamental reference point in the investigation of Guatemalas past, it does not in itself bring to a close the investigation and analysis that must be carried out regarding the armed confrontation, its causes, the extent of the violence and its effects. The Report of the CEH should serve as a platform for continuing investigation within Guatemala. On this basis, the CEH recommends: Investigation and analysis of the past That the Guatemalan people continue the investigation and analysis of the events of the past, so as to construct firm foundations for the future based on their knowledge of the past, and thereby avert a repetition of the mistakes that provoked the confrontation.

Extractions: for Guatemala Newsletter N°52 - Index Presentation of the series Cuadernos IIDH-OPEG. Una Contribución a la Paz. On July 10, the first publication in the series Cuadernos IIDH-OPEG was presented to the Guatemalan public, prepared under the integrated program as "a contribution to the peace in Guatemala." The first, written by Manuel R. Villacorta , a Guatemalan expert in political and electoral affairs, will be followed by others prepared by specialized study groups that have been set up by former participants of the IIHR's permanent courses. They will deal with some of the problems facing Guatemala today, such as criminality and citizen security, freedom of expression, cultural and inter-ethnic diversity, disability and the thorny problem of "what to do with the past." These publications are open to contributions from Guatemalans interested in presenting human rights doctrine and how it relates to the challenges posed by the peace process.

http://www.dialoguebetweennations.com/OASdeclaration/english/english.asp

Extractions: ESPANOL Twenty-one years ago, Indigenous leaders and other experts went to Rotterdam to accuse their governments of racism, ethnocide and genocide. In November, 1980, they presented their cases to an international jury at the IV Russell Tribunal on the Rights of the Indians of the Americas. The Tribunal asserted its moral right "to demand that governments and international organizations comply with the accepted norms relating to human rights in general as well as to the specific rights of the Native Peoples of the Americas." It is widely accepted that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights must be considered as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations. However, Indigenous peoples are not recognized as peoples. Their sovereign nations have never been invited to sit alongside the other nation states of the world in international decision making bodies.

http://www.dialoguebetweennations.com/dbnetwork/english/kenneth_editorial.htm

Extractions: The Summit of the Americas was the perfect opportunity to correct all the wrongs that it perpetuates against the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas but it failed to do so. All 34 states that attended the Summit are on Indigenous land, and all of them have acquired wealth from the resources of that land. But Indigenous Peoples were left on the outside looking in and our demands to be recognized as peoples was pushed aside. We had great hopes of change with the remarks made by Prime Minister Jean Chretien when he mentioned Indigenous Peoples twice in his opening statement to the heads of state of 33 other countries. The resulting Quebec Declaration brought our hopes crashing down. The Summit of the Americas Declaration and Action Plan, which is the document expressing the consensus of the governments, says that the term Indigenous Peoples "in this document cannot be construed as having any implications as to the rights that attach to the term under international law." This means that governments do not agree to recognize our right to self determination and other rights that flow from that right. Our hopes were also raised by meetings in Washington with the Organization of American States (OAS) just two weeks before the Summit, where the very same governments agreed that the term "Indigenous Peoples" could be accepted. But somehow, that agreement was not transmitted to the drafters of the Quebec Summit.

Extractions: In response to President Gustavo Noboas announcement of new economic measures to cut the national deficit, protesters have taken to the streets in all the major cities of Ecuador. Indigenous organizations and other social movements are leading the protests and plan to once again form the National Popular Parliament on January 16 in Quito to pressure for reforms. They are seeking, among other goals, to repeal Presidential decrees increasing gas and public transportation prices. Indigenous organizations of the Ecuadorian Amazon have also decided to gather and strategize about reforms at meetings of Popular Parliaments in each regional province on January 15. Ecuadorian indigenous and other social organizations organized Popular Parliaments in January 2000 when their protests and mobilizations led to the ousting of ex-President Jamil Mahuad.

Extractions: National Council of Churches Leads International Ecumenical Delegation Key will be an international ecumenical delegation visit to Guatemala April 8-12. The delegation is being organized by the (U.S.) National Council of Churches (NCC) in response to invitations from 1992 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchú Tum and from the Rev. Vitalino Similox, Director of the Ecumenical Forum of Guatemala, through which both Protestant and Catholic churches are working for implementation of the peace accords. The centerpiece of their visit will be a day-long "Peace and Reconciliation Consultation," bringing together between 40-50 leaders of Guatemala’s churches and civil society on April 10 in Guatemala City. NCC General Secretary Bob Edgar and Guatemalan Roman Catholic Archbishop Quezada Y Toruño are convening this meeting. Co-convenors are the Latin American Council of Churches (CLAI) and the World Council of Churches (WCC). The NCC-led delegation’s mission is to support Guatemala’s churches in their efforts to reactivate implementation of peace accords signed in 1996 by the government and rebels after more than 35 years of armed conflict. More than 200,000 people were killed or "disappeared" and presumed dead. Most of these casualties were attributed to the government and its paramilitary allies.

Saq' Be' is a non profit organization operated by young adults on a volunteer basis. The organization was formed at the request of Ajq'ij (Mayan Priest) in Guatemala for the purpose of assisting with the rescue and preservation of traditional science, medicine, culture and spirituality as well as to help open doors for others to learn directly from Native wisdom keepers and communities in a way that is mutually supportive. Part of the vision for the formation of the organization is to reach out to and involve greater numbers of youth and young adults. Saq' Be' is beginning its third year of existence. We are very small, but with a very big mission. We are inviting readers of this website to join together with us in helping to carry out this mission.

http://nativeamericas.aip.cornell.edu/win98/win98lw.html

Extractions: By Simon Ortiz The true and first knowledge of this hemisphere-that is, the North, Central and South American continental lands of the western hemisphere-is indigenous cultural knowledge. By indigenous I mean Native people and their cultures and communities. Or Indian people, as we sometimes say in the United States. And, of course, we mean our Native people, our Native land, our Native communities and our cultures, all of that which comprises what we know to be our way of life. Our indigenous literatures derive from our way of life. Our oral knowledge derives from, our indigenous lands, cultures and communities. Our oral tradition derives from all of our Native people who live throughout the indigenous Americas. I don't mean just any certain group of people, I mean all those Native people who live in all the Indigenous Americas. I mean, therefore, all of our Native or indigenous peoples. This conference of the indigenous literatures of the Americas is an affirmation of ourselves. I'm very happy to say this, and I have to repeat it firmly, loudly and joyously: this conference of our indigenous literatures is an affirmation of ourselves. It is an affirmation of ourselves as cultural entities and groups of our people wherever we live, whether in Alaska, Guatemala Panama, Mexico, California, New York, Oklahoma or Arizona where I live. This conference is nothing less than an affirmation of all of ourselves as indigenous peoples of the Americas. We must realize and accept this conference for what it is and what we want it to be: an affirmation and expression of our community of people with cultural knowledge of ourselves and our lands, including traditional and contemporary concepts of ourselves and our lands. This First Congress of Indigenous Literature-along with the people who organized it and work with it, whether they be scholars, writers, poets, storytellers, cultural workers, teachers and administrators-is a very important act for and by our indigenous people. It is an absolutely significant and committed act for us to take about this, there is no doubt.

Extractions: Some 50 indigenous representatives from Canada, Chile and countries in between came to Washington in November for a week-long meeting with government representatives of the OAS member countries to examine and comment on a proposed declaration on indigenous rights. The meeting, chaired by Ambassador Claude Heller of Mexico, included the participation of indigenous organizations from 17 countries. Heller stressed the need to strive in future meetings for even broader representation of "the diversity and richness of the indigenous communities from the entire hemisphere." Left to right, Aucán Huilcamán of Chile, Gloria Sanic of Guatemala and Tom Ross of the United States were among the indigenous representatives who participated in discussions at theOAS on indigenous rights At the opening of the meeting, OAS Secretary General César Gaviria emphasized that the region must take indigenous concerns into account as it addresses a wide range of challenges, from combating poverty to protecting the environment. He expressed his hope "that the OAS recognize the honor and responsibility that we have to advance and build on the accomplishments we have made at the national level in favor of indigenous people." The complexity of the issues under discussion was evident throughout the line-by-line examination of the draft language. Even the title has proved to be controversial. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights originally proposed a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, but the working title of the draft now refers to "Indigenous Populations." Throughout the document, the words "peoples" and "populations" remain in brackets, indicating a lack of resolution.
