Media Resource Indigenous groups push for recognition ANDREW BOUNDS IN PANAMA CITY The world's indigenous races will press for recognition as peoples with the right to self-determination at the United Nations Conference on Racism in South Africa in September. A meeting of more than 150 indigenous representatives in Panama resolved on Saturday to ask for specific recognition by the universal declaration of human rights, part of the UN charter. "There are 400m indigenous people throughout the world who do not enjoy the protection of human rights law," said Mililani Trask, from Hawaii. "We are never recognised as peoples. When we are discriminated against and persecuted we are ethnic minorities. When we flee war, refugees. "For 17 years we have worked to include indigenous peoples within the declaration of human rights. This cannot continue." Ms Trask added that indigenous peoples should be able to vote for the degree of autonomy they wished, including independence. The conference denounced continuing "colonisation" that deprives indigenous peoples of rights over their land and said little had changed six years into the UN's decade of indigenous peoples. However, they welcomed the creation of a permanent forum of indigenous affairs by the UN Economic and Social Council.

It may have something to do with the fact that Panama is known internationally for its canal, the 1989 US invasion and the name it donated to a style of headgear, but this does it no justice. The reality is a proud prosperous nation which honors its seven Indian tribes and its rich Spanish legacy, and which embraces visitors so enthusiastically that it's difficult to leave without feeling that you're in on a secret that the rest of the traveling world will one day uncover."

[to top] We, the Indigenous Peoples from various regions of the world, have come to Seattle to express our great concern over how the World Trade Organization is destroying Mother Earth and the cultural and biological diversity of which we are a part. [to top] Trade liberalization and export-oriented development, which are the overriding principles and policies pushed by the WTO, are creating the most adverse impacts on the lives of Indigenous Peoples. Our inherent right to self-determination, our sovereignty as nations, and treaties and other constructive agreements which Indigenous nations and Peoples have negotiated with other nation-states, are undermined by most of the WTO Agreements. The disproportionate impact of these Agreements on our communities, whether through environmental degradation or the militarization and violence that often accompanies development projects, is serious and therefore should be addressed immediately. The WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AOA) , which promotes export competition and import liberalization, has allowed the entry of cheap agricultural products into our communities. It is causing the destruction of ecologically rational and sustainable agricultural practices of Indigenous Peoples.

Mapping the Darien in Panama The Pan-American Highway The Darien region, with a total land surface of 16,803 km, is the largest province in Panama, the most sparsely populated, and the least well known. It is a region of dense tropical rainforest. Its indigenous population of Embera, Wounaan, and Kuna live in settlements scattered along the numerous river valleys. Until 20 years ago, there were no roads in the Darien; now there is a gravel highway cutting through its center down as far as the town of Yaviza, 100 km short of the Colombian border. This 100 km stretch is the only uncompleted piece of the Pan-American Highway, which connects overland commerce between North and South America. While most of the traditional inhabitants of the Darien travel by river, the highway has opened up the region to loggers, cattle ranchers, and landless peasants from the overcrowded interior provinces. This influx of population is threatening both the indigenous people and the natural forest. Since the time of the Spanish conquest, those of European descent have called these lands "empty quarters," as if they had no inhabitants. Sadly, this colonial ignorance of indigenous peoples has persisted into the present. Indian lands considered vacant are

The Joint Declaration calls on the Canadian government to demonstrate leadership by supporting the UN Draft Declaration, which explicitly recognizes the right of self-determination, and urging other governments to do the same. This past year, the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Programme implemented 16 projects for a total of $353,928.

Media Alert For Immediate Release: October 21, 1996 For More Information Contact: Glen Miller, Director of Information Services (WEST PALM BEACH, FL) Columbian artist Victoria Medina will present her collection of Indigenous Peoples , drawings and painting that explore "Spirits of Earth," from October 23 to January 20, at the Regional Artist’s Gallery inside the Palm Beach International Airport. A native of Medellin, Columbia, Medina left her pursuit of an education in business administration to devote her life to art. Medina’s quest took her to Panama where she focused on anthropology, art and philosophy. A chance encounter in Panama with a young Cuna Indian, "whose face and eyes expressed serenity and wisdom from her ancestors," moved Medina to create a series of paintings and drawings that draw upon her perception of those who "celebrate life." Medina painted the portrait but felt the finished painting was incomplete. It was then that Medina had the revelation to paint the young girl in her native land, and transferred the girl to another dimension and landscape bringing her back to the "spirit of the land." Today, Medina works out of her studio in Boca Raton, painting and drawing culturally diverse subjects transferred back among their landscaped legacies, a collection she calls Indigenous Peoples The Palm Beach County Cultural Council coordinates a wide variety of visual arts presentations throughout the year to bring new and exciting art to public areas. The exhibits are scheduled and maintained at the Palm Beach International Airports Rotating Artists Gallery. The gallery is a cooperative effort between the cultural and business community in Palm Beach County. The Gallery is located at the west end of Level 2 in the airport terminal.
