Brazilian policies on Indigenous Peoples Resolution of the Climate Alliance´s General Assembly of 26.3.1996 The Climate Alliance Municipalities already responded two years ago to the request of the indigenous peoples of Brazil to support them in their struggle to ensure observation of Article 231 of the Brazilian Constitution. This constitutional article guarantees to the indigenous peoples the right to their territory, and provides for a swift geographical demarcation of these territories. At the time, the Member Municipalities expressed their support in letters to the Brazilian President. While the 1988 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Brazil requires the swift demarcation of all indigenous territories, this process is stagnating in an unacceptable manner - to the detriment of the affected communities. The latest political decisions even indicate a serious retrogression. In this connection, the organizations of Brazilian indigenous peoples and numerous other non- governmental organizations criticize most vehemently the issuance of Decree No. 1775/96 and Ministerial Ordinance 14/96, which alter the basis of the demarcation of indigenous land in favour of third parties, in particular by granting an also retroactive right to object. Indigenous organizations and the Member Municipalities of the Climate Alliance fear that the situation of many of the Brazilian indigenous peoples will deteriorate, e.g. through the diminution of their territories, the delaying of demarcation, or through new encroachments upon their land. Since the beginning of the debate on the Decree's amendment, and particularly since it was signed, increased invasions upon unprotected indigenous lands are to be observed, without the Brazilian government taking steps against this in the form that would be called for. The view is widely accepted that the new legal situation evidently even encourages these encroachments.

Report on the Second Conference on Cooperation of European Support Groups in the UN Decade of Indigenous Peoples Almen, Netherlands, May 3-5 1996 Julian Burger of the UN Human Rights Centre reviewed developments at the UN, particularly with regard to human rights. He explained the problems of persuading agencies like the World Intellectual Property Organization and the FAO that human rights, including support for indigenous peoples, should be integral to their work. An important point made in his presentation was his assertion that the Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples should become the universal instrument on indigenous peoples out of which regional and national instruments should then be derived. In the third presentation by Graham Dutfield of WGTRR, an integrated rights framework derived from basic human rights but embracing other collective rights such as territorial rights and cultural rights, was outlined. Unfortunately, governments and UN agencies still need to accept that human rights are relevant to all decision-making which affects peoples' livelihoods. Nevertheless, the Convention on Biodiversity has a broad mandate, is a relatively transparent forum, and encourages non-government participation to a far greater extent than most other inter-governmental forums. Therefore, if state parties to the CBD agree to take on board traditional resource rights, NGOs should act to ensure that the World Trade Organization and the FAO revise their instruments and policies accordingly so as to be consistent with the CBD.

We repudiate and refuse to accept the idea that our territories, recognised by previous governments as areas of traditional indigenous occupation, should be revised on the basis of the minister's definition of indigenous territory, and as a result be reduced in response to pressure from Brazilian and foreign economic interests, those who produce fraudulent land titles, and logging and mining companies who exploit our land.

Documents menu Brazilian Indians Ask World Bank To Suspend Funds From G7 6 February 1996 (Brasilia, February 6, 1996) The Unity Council of Brazilian Indigenous Peoples and Organizations (CAPOIB) has asked the World Bank to suspend funds for all projects for demarcation of Indian lands in Brazil, including the Indigenous Lands, Planafloro, and Prodeagro projects. In the letter they say that all signs point to the total and complete inviability of carrying out any plan or project to regularize and demarcate indigenous lands in a way which meets the real needs of indigenous peoples, given the current indigenous policy (of the Brazilian government), which is based upon the recent decree 1776/96. CAPOIB cited a consistent policy of the Cardoso presidency to satiate special interests intent upon seizing indigenous lands. They also say the decree has emboldened invaders of Indian lands, including gold miners in the area of the Munduruku Indians, and ranchers on Macuxi Indian territory. CAPOIB syas that there are now legal obstacles which subvert the demarcation process to political pressures, open up claims for compensation to Brazilian states and local governments, and create the real possibility that indigenous territories, if demarcated at all, will be sharply reduced under pressure from local interests.

Mapping and demarcation of Indigenous territory has been underway in Brazil since the adoption of the 1988 Constitution, which formally recognized the rights of Brazilian indigenous peoples. The Government of Brazil, through Funai ( www.funai.gov.br/ )have pursued this objective with the support of Brazilian NGOs such as the Instituto SocioAmbiental www.socioambiental.org/ ) To date, 11% of Brazil territory has been demarcated. A variety of activities are planned as part of on-going efforts to raise the profile of Canada's indigenous population, creating opportunities for Brazilians and Canadian to work together to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of Brazil's indigenous mosaic.

Newsletter n. 226 SHOUT OF THE SOCIALLY MARGINALIZED FOR LAND AND WORK The Catholic Church will be organizing on September 7 the "Shout of the Socially Marginalized" with the topic "Work and Land to Live in". The event will gather thousands of persons in demonstrations throughout the country. The objective of the "Shout" is to redeem the true sense of independence and draw the attention of the public to the social injustice that prevails in Brazilian society. The main part of the demonstration will be the "shaking of keys" at 12:00 a.m. It is the second time that the social pastoral sector of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB) organizes the "Shout of the Socially Marginalized" during the celebrations of the independence of the Brazilian State. INDIANS DENOUNCE LACK OF HEALTH CARE There is a war strategy against indigenous peoples in Brazil. This is what Wilson Pataxo, representative of the Articulation of Indigenous Organizations of the Northeast, Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo - APOINME, denounced at a round table on the quality of life of indigenous peoples during the 10th National Health Conference. The event is taking place this week in Brasilia. The round table gathered representatives of various health institutions. In addition to Wilson Pataxo, the meeting was attended by Clovis Ambrosio, from the Indigenous Council of Roraima (CIR), who highlighted the importance of the work being carried out by indigenous health agents. Wilson Pataxo denounced that the lack of health care is "a powerful weapon to eliminate Brazilian indigenous peoples". Of each 100 Indians who died in the period between September 1994 and December 1995, 22.3% did not have any medical assistance. In this period, 2,591 Indians died, and no diagnosis is available for 579 of them. According to Ana Costa, director of Funai's health care department, these deaths were caused by the insufficiency of funds allocated to the sector. Last year, the agency invested US$ 20 for each of the 334 thousand Brazilian Indians. The participants in the panel unanimously called for the holding of the 3rd National Conference on Indigenous Health and the implementation of the Special Indigenous Sanitary Districts throughout the country.

To give an idea of the scale of the phenomenon, only ten such associations existed before 1988 (Upper and Mid Solimões River, Manaus, Upper Negro River, Roraima); now there are more than 180 associations in the six States making up the Northern Region of Brazil (Amazonas, Roraima, Rondônia, Acre, Pará and Amapá), and probably more than 250 in so-called Legal Amazonia, which includes parts of the States of Mato Grosso, Tocantins and Maranhão. In other words, the number of such associations has increased twentyfold in little more than a decade. (see:

In this respect, they are no different from ‘us’, non-Indian Brazilians. Who would say that today we live like our great-grandparents? This very site, or, say, the fast-food chains that can be found all over our country: aren’t they proofs that our language and our culture are influenced by others? Changes in the way of living Contact with our society certainly brings about changes on the way of living of Indigenous peoples. In this regard, one must have in mind two things. In the second place, it must be said that, behind the changes, with different rhythm and nature depending on the case, there is something crucial: even while relating to non-Indians, Indigenous peoples maintain their identities and assert themselves as differentiated ethnic groups and holders of their own traditions. And that is valid even for situations of intense changes.
