It is a well written, carefully researched report on variant versions of the origination myth of the creator god, Viracocha, who rose from the waters of Lake Titicaca and from there designed all of creation. If you love lore, don't miss this one. http://www.mountain.org/text/isleofsun.html This brief, but beautifully photographed (images are clickable) site on Lake Titicaca's Island of the Sun comes from West Virginia's prestigious The Mountain Institute (some of their work is sponsored by the National Geographic Society): Deified by the Tiahuanaco culture, Titicaca is still honored today as a sacred site connected to Viracocha, the Inca creator deity associated with mountain cults and water.

Extractions: a young artist and teacher at the Amazon Project Author's note As a very young child growing up in western Michigan, my knowledge of South America began with a terror of the huge snakes in her vast jungles I often had nightmares of being crushed by an enormous boa constrictor. I would awake, barely able to breathe. South America terrified me. Yet in the 8th grade I read Hudson's Green Mansions and fell in love with Rima, the bird-girl, who moved with such grace and beauty through the trees. After that, South America was equally nightmare and ecstatic wonder, snake and magical bird, death and life, breath-stopping constriction and utter freedom. As a young adult, I slowly made my peace with the great snakes in my psyche, as well as in the rain forests. But the nightmare didn't end. From the 1960's onward, I became painfully aware that the habitat of those snakes and birds was being destroyed, mile by mile, inch by inch, as the rain forests vanished along with rare flowers, herbs, trees, and countless species. Today, as a crone, when I think of South America, I think first of the Rain Forests and my heart constricts exactly as if an anaconda were crushing me, but there's no anaconda now, there's something far worse an awareness of the fragile beauty being destroyed. If we, as a species, destroy the jungle's medicinal plants that might cure our worst diseases, a cynic might argue that that's

Extractions: F.P.C.N. Mequens - South America In 1993 and 1994 FPCN paid for a local nurse from indian descent to work in the Mequens land. Her work was in promoting the traditional, but widely suppressed, use of herbal medicine among the indigenous peoples. The Mequens in the centre of the Brazilian state of Rondonia are, like all the other neighbouring aborigines, victims of the World Bank Polonoreste road project. This project, carried out in the 80's, resulted in the now almost complete deforestation of Rondonia, which is approximately the size of Germany. This has in turn lead to the genocide of numerous indigenous peoples, resulting in almost complete ethnocide, of the few remaining aboriginal cultures. FPCN is unable to further support the Mequens peoples at present due to lack of manpower and finances. Link Back to

Extractions: www.ibis.dk ibis@ibis.dk Ibis has been working in South America for the last 16 years and the last 5 years the program has been focused on support to the indigenous population and their organizations. Ibis´ South America programme includes Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru, with Bolivia as the major program. The major part of the work in the Andean Region is presently concentrated on the indigenous population of the lowlands, but both in Bolivia and Ecuador, several smaller projects in the highlands are being supported, in order to reach a more equal intervention in lowland and highland. The general objective of Ibis South America´s regional programme is to support the men and women of indigenous peoples and their organizations, within the Andean-Amazon countries, in their struggle for the recognition and exercise of their collective rights as peoples within the National States. Ibis gives priority to the processes that promote the indigenous movement in its quest for cultural recognition and defense of their rights as nations and peoples, as stated in ILO´s agreement 169. Ibis has chosen to support the indigenous movement, because their struggle contribute to the democratization of the States and Societies of the region, as it is considered that the recognition of indigenous rights can contribute to and enrich the general processes of decentralization and political participation.

Extractions: In the past, the Internet has been focused on North American written English, but this is changing rapidly. The spread of low cost equipment, cheaper connectivity, and new software tools has allowed ethnic groups, minority cultures, and institutions that support diverse populations and languages to use the Internet to link diaspora groups far from home, support language preservation efforts with online web sites, multilingual databases, and experiment with digital story-telling techniques that combine traditional methods with unusual uses of new media. The social organization needed to make use of this technology is a key concern for libraries that wish to play a supporting role in these innovative efforts.

Extractions: Clear Light Publishers, 1994, 176 pages In their own way, each of the book's sections shed light on the global nature of the plight facing indigenous people: the disappearance of diversity and traditional ways of life, ecological degradation, repression of native rights movements, and the loss of vital knowledge about how to live in harmony with the environment. The statements made by the nineteen indigenous representatives describe these issues with examples drawn from their own cultures. Anderson Muutang Urud of the Kelabit tribe of Sarawak, Malaysia, points out that his people have lost their native forest lands to logging companies. "Our lives are threatened by company goons," he says. "Our women are being raped by loggers who invade our villages. While the companies get rich from our forests, we are condemned to live in poverty and eventual genocide." Davi Yanomami of the Yanomami tribe of the Amazon Valley describes the invasion of garimpeiros (gold miners) who not only ravage their lands but exploit his people and spread disease. Thomas Banyacya, a Native American Hopi elder, talks about the costs to his people of the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974 which mandated the removal of Navajos and Hopis from their native lands, ostensibly to resolve conflicting claims to land between the two groups, but largely as a result of pressure by mining and energy industries.

http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/latam/geness.html

Extractions: The first contingent of humans arrived in North America from Asia during the glacial age which began some 40 thousand years ago. From North America they entered Central America sometime between 13 000 BCE and 7500 BCE spreading from there to South America. Relatively little is known about the inhabitants of Latin America during this period since our knowledge about them is based solely on excavations. However, despite the early arrival of people in Central and South America it was not until 2000 BCE that the first permanent villages showing some kind of social organisation appeared, leading to the formation of high civilisations and social stratification such as the Olmecs that flourished around 1300 BCE or the Mayas that appeared in the first millenium BCE. The settlements in Latin America varied immensely from one place to another. While societies such as the Inca of the Andes and the Maya, Olmec and Aztec of Central America developed a high level of culture, others kept a rather tribal structure. Generalisation about these cultures is, therefore, problematic. In spite of these differences it is possible to identify certain common characteristics in both high civilizations and tribal societies such as animism, a cult of ancestors and continuity between religion and political power. In some societies the mediation between the supernatural and the natural was done through a hierarchically organized body of priests, in other societies a more democratic kind of shamanistic practice was stronger.
