Extractions: Fall 1994 Abya Yala News, Araceli Burguete is a Chiapas native as well as Technical and Research Coordinator for the Independent Indian Peoples Front. The Mexican Constitution was modified in 1992 to include certain new Indigenous rights. Unfortunately, this reform has never been implemented, and Indigenous forms of social organization and democratic representation still lack legal recognition. Despite many efforts to pass legislation guaranteeing Indian representation in congress over the past three years, none have been adopted because Indigenous organizations still lack allies to support these proposals. Thus, Mexico's Indigenous peoples have access to the nation's congress only through participation in the political parties. At the same time, there is ample consensus among the nation's Indigenous organizations that the political parties are not adequate mechanisms for bringing Indigenous representatives to congress. This conclusion has been reinforced by the marginal placement of Indigenous demands in the political parties' agendas, in addition to the absence of Indigenous representation in their leadership structures. Faced with this situation, Indigenous people have become increasingly doubtful about working through the political parties. Consequently, the traditional parties have gradually lost political control within the country's Indigenous regions.

Extractions: Native Gathering in Chihuahua INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS URGENTLY NEEDED! For several years, a serious situation has been brewing in the narco-trafficante boomtown of Baborigame. An unholy alliance of heroin traffickers and their allies in the timber industry are systematically violating the human rights of the indigenous Tepehuans and laying ruin to their land (a world-class bio- region). The area has become the center for opium poppy cultivation in the Sierras. Narcos and loggers are stripping the mountains of their forests; the logging provides ideal cover for growers who use the companies for logistical support and the transport of raw opium gum. The gum is later processed into heroin in the larger regional cities.

Extractions: 13 July 1999 I live in Southern California and Mexico City is only a few hours away by air. Yet I have never had any desire to visit that country. I like her people, but the country itself seemed so grey and poor, so desperate no rain, no housing, no hope. The winter of 1999 an American shaman-healer, Eliot Cowan (author of Plant Spirit Medicine ), trained by the Huichol Indians of Mexico, communed with the Huichol Fire God, Tatewari, who told him that I should go to Mexico for ceremonies of healing, protection, and rain-working. "No," I said, "I could die happy without ever going to Mexico." But Eliot insisted. Despite my skepticism, I went in early May 1999 to participate in a week of rain rituals up in the highlands south of Cuernavaca. There, Mexico, as a place, became real for me. I care about her soil and weather now, for I added my own prayers to those of the shamanic weather-workers who had come to join an old shaman in praying for rain. I have drunk Mexico's waters now, walked her cobblestones, eaten her volcanic-enriched maize and beans, and felt her burning sun....... Sunday, 4 June 2000:

http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/mexico/news/jornada042701.html

Extractions: Sergio Rodri'guez Lascano The constitutional changes regarding indigenous issues which were approved by the Senate of the Republic - along with the vote of all the parties, to the shame of the PRD - is closer to the Zedillo Law than to the Cocopa Law in its fundamental aspects. Once again the political parties have not been sensitive to the demands of the indigenous, which are supported by millions of non-indigenous Mexicans, to provide them with a legal framework which will allow them to achieve a two-fold objective: to participate as a subject with legal recognition in the reorganization of the national State, and to achieve that through the legal recognition of their own mechanisms for regulating their social, political, economic and cultural life. In the draft proposed by the Senate - which the Chamber of Deputies will most certainly support - there is movement towards a general definition concerning the concept of autonomy or concerning indigenous peoples - where the consciousness of their identity is incorporated - only to immediately cancel it or limit it to the greatest degree when it goes on to more concrete definitions. Further on, if we compare the Law proposed by the Cocopa with the one Zedillo presented and with the one currently being promoted, we can see that it is a Law which, in some instances, is even more regressive than the previous President's.

The 8-3 ruling is likely to spark protests by rebel sympathizers who had all but frozen their dialogue with the government for the last year. They argued the law did not go far enough in protecting Mexico's Indians.(Will Weissert, Associated Press Writer) Indigenous groups want to contribute to Western medicine but expect compensation Traditional communities in Mexico should share their knowledge of ancient medicinal practices with the rest of the world but only if they are compensated for their contribution, said an indigenous leader to the French Press Agency. Mindahi Bastida, a member of the Otomi indigenous group chosen as a delegate for the upcoming World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, claims that multi-national pharmaceutical companies have "pillaged" traditional medicinal practices.(TheNewsMexico.com)

Extractions: Search/Site map Home Around the World Central America Our work with Indigenous Peoples in Mexico and Central America Community Aid Abroad-Oxfam Australia's program in Mexico and Central America aims to support Indigenous Peoples' right to determine their own future in accordance with their own world views. This means supporting Indigenous Peoples' rights to practice traditional or Indigenous forms of authority, customary law and organization; to use their own linguistic systems; to be educated in their mother tongue; to recover the communal lands of which they have been unlawfully dispossessed, and to practice traditional religious beliefs and rites. These rights continue to be denied in Guatemala as Indigenous communities struggle against an inherited colonial power structure and powerful elites that see them as an obstacle to free market economic policies. The Program is committed to supporting Indigenous women's rights in Guatemala through projects that: promote more equitable gender relations, lessen women's workloads, support initiatives to end violence against women and children, address obstacles to women´s full participation in society, and encourage Indigenous women to take up leadership roles. We also support local initiatives designed to ensuring community well-being through income generation projects and environmentally sustainable agricultural production. Community Aid Abroad-Oxfam Australia supports Indigenous Guatemalan organisations in their efforts to: enshrine Indigenous rights in national and international legislation, achieve self-determination, promote the respect for cultural diversity, and speak out against forms of racial or ethnic discrimination.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: A criminal complaint regarding Gaudencio García's torture was lodged on January 23, 1998. In it, he named one of the police officers who allegedly tortured him, and gave a full description of three others. The Public Ministry recognised, based on official medical reports, that Gaudencio García's health "was affected and visible signs were left on his body." These included electrical burn marks on his chest and genitals. On January 28, 2000, all charges against Gaudencio García were dropped and he was freed. However, to date no-one has been brought to justice for his torture. Typically, the detainees were held incommunicado for a few days, tortured, and forced to sign blank sheets of paper or false confessions to admit crimes related to membership in the EPR or to implicate others. In most cases the torture consisted of beatings, electric shocks, near-suffocation, mock executions and death threats. Following these abuses, some of the detainees were released without having been formally detained and charged. However, of those formally detained and charged with criminal offences, some were later convicted and sentenced by the courts to between 30 and 40 years' imprisonment on the basis of confessions extracted under torture.
