INDIANISMO : THE RESURGENCE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN HONDURAS Indigenous people represent 7% of the total population in Honduras. For many years human rights abuses have taken place in the area of education, technology, culture, health, and the environment. Recently indigenous have organized themselves formally to combat these abuses. The indigenous people in Honduras want rights and their movement is gaining strength. Several indigenous leaders have come to the forefront representing the 500,000 indigenous people because they are tired of the broken promises made by politicians. Through protests hunger strikes and other peaceful means indigenous people have made their agenda known. Recently the government has passed 9,000 hectares of land over in the western part of the country. But this is merely one step to repay the centuries old debt owed to the indigenous people. They are becoming strong activists in their community and the new indigenous movement in Honduras is working its way to some sort of justice.

INTERNATIONAL IMPLICATIONS LINKS TO INDIGENOUS WEBSITES AND OTHER USEFUL SITES: Map of Honduras Honduras This Week EDITORIAL CONCLUSIONS Before the invasion of Christopher Columbus and the conquistadores there were 130 million people living in the Americas. By 1567 seventy million indigenous people had been slaughtered by Europeans and all the diseases they brought with them. From the minute Columbus stepped foot in the Americas the indigenous peoples were the victims of violent repression and human rights abuses. These acts have been occurring for over 500 years. Since 1492 the natives have been in a constant fight for the rights that were stolen from them.

Central America and Mexico Report Home Indigenous protesters attacked (Sept. 2000) On September 7 nearly 200 Honduran police officers and soldiers violently attacked hundreds of Chorti indigenous people blocking the entrance to the Copan Maya Ruins archaeological park in a two-day protest aimed at getting attention to issues affecting their communities. Click here to receive a FREE copy of the current issue or subscribe to the Report with our Subscription Form Scores of people were injured in the confrontation and at least 17 people received injuries serious enough to require hospitalization. Police and soldiers attacked the Chorti with batons and teargas, while protesters reportedly responded with stones and sticks. Twenty indigenous leaders were arrested. The Chorti protesters, whose numbers were estimated at nearly 1,000, had taken the action to try to force the government's attention to their need for land, as well as its reneging on past agreements reached with Honduras' indigenous peoples. The protest was the latest in a series of actions from indigenous groups over the past five years seeking to draw attention to the problems and needs in their communities.

Network The Newsletter for National Councils for Sustainable Development Volume #2 September 1998 Issue #3 Joint Project Works to Assure Voice of Indigenous Peoples in Sustainable Development In May 1996, the Earth Council and the Fetzer Institute joined forces to initiate a project with indigenous spiritual leaders and elders. In addition to strengthening indigenous peoples' capacity to influence decision-making mechanisms, the project has worked to recuperate, preserve, and strengthen the spiritual and cultural values, traditional knowledge, and translate them into a balanced relationship with Mother Earth and, therefore, into sustainable practices. The Indigenous Peoples, Mother Earth, and Spirituality Project, as it is called, met in San José, Costa Rica, in May and August 1996, where an action plan was developed and a Spiritual Consultative Council was formed. It was within this context that a third meeting was held in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, last May. On this occasion, the members of the Spiritual Consultative Council discussed issues relating to education, traditional knowledge and sustainable practices. Additionally, the gathering provided the members of the council with the opportunity to meet with different sectors of society, as well as with indigenous peoples from the host country. Finally, the meeting included review and assessment of the work done during the year prior, with an exchange of information and experience among the members of the council.

.sto torture .it's time July 24, 2001 Indigenous people are probably the most marginalized in Honduran society. Many communities live under constant fear of losing the lands where they live. Despite obligations under national and international law, the government has failed to provide them with legal title. Disputes with landowners, multinational logging companies and tourist enterprises over the recognition of land rights have led to violence, intimidation and death threats. The authorities have consistently failed to properly investigate such abuses, or to offer adequate protection against them. Amnesty International has been concerned for many years about abuses against Indigenous peoples in Honduras, and the failure to investigate these abuses and bring to justice those responsible. Over the past decade, some 25 Indigenous people in Honduras have been killed by individuals or groups allegedly linked to local authorities or the military. Other Indigenous leaders have been injured or threatened and harassed, reportedly by landowners or other private individuals, with the alleged or apparent collusion of local officials. PLEASE TAKE ACTION Please write courteous letters urging the government of Honduras to: protect the rights of all people, without distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin - including Indigenous groups;

In a proclamation issued by the indigenous and black people of Honduras they stated their purpose was to, "reclaim our ancestral rights which correspond to us and which have been denied and continue to be denied to the extent that our ancestral territories have been usurped and we have been excluded from developing as we choose" ("Indigenous and Black peoples"). They were also protesting the genocide (cultural and physical) that has continued to effect their communities throughout the last 500 years, including various assassinations of indigenous leaders whose murderers have yet to be brought to justice. Covenant 169 of the International Labor Organization which the Honduran government has ratified, but has yet to fulfill. Covenant 169 of the ILO explicitly protects the traditional lands of indigenous peoples in addition to their culture, tradition, and human rights ("Convention Concerning"). A few days later, after further negotiating an agreement was reached which called for, "a full investigation into the recent assassinations of Chortis' leaders Candido Amador Recinos and Ovidio Perez, greater respect for the human rights of indigenous and black people in Honduras and establishes a plan of over 9,000 hectares to Chortis people in the two westernmost departments of Honduras" ("Historic Agreement Reached"). In addition, the accord institutes a commission of Guarantors to ensure the government satisfies its commitments. Finally, the government also said it would increase housing and agrarian aid to the Chorti people ("Central America Update").

Discussion Forum Do you have an opinion about this page? Make it known on the Discussion Forum Following the period of Mayan dominance, the area that would eventually comprise Honduras was occupied by a multiplicity of indigenous peoples. Indigenous groups related to the Toltec of central Mexico migrated from the northwest into parts of what became western and southern Honduras. Most notable were the Toltecspeaking Chorotega, who established themselves near the present-day city of Choluteca. Later enclaves of Nahua-speaking peoples, such as the Pipil, whose language was related to that of the Aztec, established themselves at various locations from the Caribbean coast to the Golfo de Fonseca on the Pacific coast While groups related to indigenous peoples of Mexico moved into western and southern Honduras, other peoples with languages related to those of the Chibcha of Colombia were establishing themselves in areas that became northeastern Honduras. Most prominent among these were the Ulva and Paya speakers. Along the Caribbean coast, a variety of groups settled. Most important were the Sumu, who were also located in Nicaragua, and the Jicaque, whose language family has been a source of debate among scholars. Finally, in parts of what is now west-central Honduras were the Lenca, who also were believed to have migrated north from Colombia but whose language shows little relation to any other indigenous group

AI-index: AMR 01/006/2002 DATE: October 11, 2002 Americas: Indigenous peoples Second-class citizens in the lands of their ancestors 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, 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.

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.
