Activists Block Illegal Mahogany Groups Call for Mahogany Import Ban to End Amazon Murders May 3, 1996 (Savannah, GA) This morning at approximately 7:00 AM EST, thirteen activists from Rainforest Action Network and affiliated Southeastern human rights groups boarded the Brazilian cargo ship Frota Belem in Savannah Harbor to prevent the ship from unloading its cargo of Brazilian Mahogany,which was pirated from indigenous peoples' land in the Amazon. By 7:30 AM,the activists had climbed the ship's central mast and two cranes, and had hung a huge 15 x 40 foot banner from the bow of the ship that read: "Ban Mahogany Imports, Save the Amazon!" The thirteen activists stayed locked in position for five hours, and prevented the contraband from being unloaded. They came down from the ship to meet with the Georgia Port Authority, agents from the shipping line and U.S. Customs, who agreed to hear the allegations of piracy. No charges were pressed against the demonstrators. The majority of Brazilian mahogany imported into the United States is logged illegally on indigenous peoples' lands and national parks in the Amazon rainforest, leading to environmental devastation and human rights abuses. Nearly half of all mahogany exports from Latin America end up in U.S. markets. Savannah's port receives almost half of Brazil's mahogany shipments. Extensive harvesting of mahogany has driven loggers to move into previously untouched areas, not only doing extensive harm to the rainforest, but also opening up forest regions for further settlement and development by miners, ranchers, and farmers. Most of this unharvested mahogany is on Indian lands. Brazilian newspapers report that dozens of mahogany opponents from at least nine indigenous groups have been murdered since 1988.

INDIGENOUS By Aidan Rankin If now I sit once more for a brief quarter hour on the parapet of the bridge from which as a child I dangled my fishing line a thousand times, I am powerfully gripped by an awareness of how beautiful and remarkable was the experience of possessing a place to call my own. Just once to have known in one small corner of the globe each house and every window in them, and every person behind each window! Just once to have felt inseparable from a particular corner of the world, much as a tree is bound by its roots to its own particular spot. Herman Hesse The ahatai [settlers] have always coveted Llakha Honhat [Our Land], and they have used deceit and violence in order to take it from us. ... They did not plant the trees; they do not keep the bees; the wild animals and fish do not belong to them. ... We have always lived here, since the time of creation we are as much a part of Llakha Honhat as the trees that grow on it. Our land belongs to us because we belong to the land. Oral History of the Wichi Indians (Northern Argentina) Our roots are deep in the lands where we live. We have a great love for our country, for our birthplace is here. The soil is rich from the bones of thousands of our generations. Each of us was created in these lands and it is our duty to take care of them, because from these lands will spring the future generations of our peoples. We will walk about with great respect for the Earth, for it is a very Sacred Place.

Human Rights Watch Americas Study Condemns Violence Against Indigenous Peoples in Brazil This material came from PeaceNet, a non-profit progressive networkingservice. For more information, send a message to peacenet-info@igc.apc.org For further information: Cynthia Arnson or Anne Manuel, Washington, DC (202) 371-6592 Susan Osnos, New York, NY (212) 972-8400 In Brazil: Violence Against the Macuxi and Wapixana Indians in Raposa Serra do Sol and Northern Roraima from 1988 to 1994, a 30-page study released today, Human Rights Watch/Americas (formerly Americas Watch) concludes that the indigenous peoples of northern Roraima have been the victims of an intense campaign of violence. The study highlights two aspects of this problem which Human Right Watch/Americas considers particularly distressing: the participation of the Roraima state police in violent attacks against Indians, and the pervasive impunity for those responsible for these abuses. The non-profit human rights organization found that ranchers, gold miners and the police are responsible for this violence, which has taken the form of violent evictions, beatings, destruction of homes and property, illegal arrests, torture, rape, and homicides. Indians are also frequently evicted from land that they are living on-almost always without a warrant and without prior notice to the community-and eviction orders are carried out with unnecessary violence by the police. These violent acts, whether committed by the police or by private individuals, are almost never investigated and those responsible are rarely prosecuted or punished.

About Brazil The Brazilian Embassy Indigenous Groups in Brazil for which SIL has information Indigenous groups are groups of people who are native to a given region before colonization by Europeans or other peoples. The languages spoken by indigenous peoples are completely unrelated to European languages, coming from different language families and stocks (see our page on languages of Brazil ) Their cultures and ways of life in general are also different. Unfortunately, there exists a history of exploitation of indigenous groups by colonizing peoples. In recent decades attitudes toward indigenous peoples have begun to change, and organizations such as SIL have been involved in attempts to preserve the languages and cultures of indigenous peoples around the world. The following is a list of the indigenous groups of Brazil for which SIL has information. Each group has its own page on this site which contains specific information about the group. A

PROJECT underGROUND This Issue SEARCH with the Mole Old issues MACUXI BLOCKADE ROAD TO GOLD MINING TOWN One hundred Macuxi peoples are blockading an access road to the village of Caju in the northern Brazilian Amazon to protest the invasion of their lands by small-scale miners who use mercury to extract gold. The blockade, which is led by Severino Brasil of Caju, is the climax of many years of protests by the indigenous peoples of Raposa Serra do Sol in the state of Roramia. This dispute is also seen as a litmus test of the government of Fernando Cardoso's commitment to protecting the indigenous peoples of Brazil. Brazilian federal police have agreed to go to the blockade next week to remove the gold miners after an agreement reached in the state capital of Boa Vista between the Macuxi, FUNAI (the Brazilian federal indigenous agency), IBAMA (the Brazilian environmental protection agency) and the federal police. But Brazilian activists remain sceptical about the government's sudden about-face on the removal of small-scale miners. They fear that the real reason that the federal police have agreed to go into Raposa Cerra do Sol is because the federal Congress approved a new law last week that would allow corporate mining on indigenous lands. The Brazilian constitution of 1988 allows for mining developments on indigenous lands but the legislation to implement this has been held up for several years. With this new law, national or foreign companies will be able to use cyanide leaching to extract gold on a scale far greater than that practised by small miners. Raposa Cerra do Sol is situated on the border with Venezuela and Guyana where it is home to the Macuxi, Ingariko, Wapixana, Taurepang and Patamona peoples. Some 12,000 indigenous peoples live in the area but their lands have been gradually encroached by diamond and gold miners ever since the beginning of the century.

Director-General Message Press Release Celebration What can you do? ... Previous Celebrations Articles related to education and linguistic diversity Back from the Brink Published on: October 19, 2000 in UNESCO Sources An innovative project in Brazil seeks to rescue the country’s vanishing indigenous languages. Brazil’s Discovery Coast, a UNESCO World Heri-tage site, is a seemingly un-ending landscape of reddish-yellow cliffs overlooking white beaches and tidal river mouths packed with mangrove forests. This 450 km-long sliver of land and ocean, on the south-eastern shoreline of Bahia state remains a natural, historic symbol for all Brazilians: the place where initial contact between European colonists and indigenous peoples occurred. It is also home to the some 2000 remaining Pataxó Indians, and the site of a ground-breaking pilot re-search study commissioned by UNESCO and the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC). At stake is the conservation and reconstruction of the Pataxó peoples language. Where most identified indigenous populations in Brazil have a small number of fluent speakers, usually elderly women, the Pataxó have only retained fragments of their original language. Most now speak Portuguese.

Mr Veron, who travelled to Ireland in the year 2000 and briefed officials of Ireland Aid on the plight of his Guaraní-Kaiowá people, was killed while trying to defend the rights of his people in the Takuara community in a dispute over their traditional land in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. From 1998 until 2001, Marcos and his community occupied the Takura ancestral land. The land they occupied represented only a fraction of the area taken from them in the 1950s but their presence on it was intolerable to the so-called legal owner.

Lim Li Ching reports. Among the recommendations were the following. A sui generis legal system to protect indigenous knowledge, distinct from other laws protecting intellectual property rights, affirming collective ownership and rights and equitable benefit sharing and distribution from use of resources and knowledge. Participation of indigenous representatives in national and international decisions about biodiversity and traditional knowledge. Rejection of the imposed western science model, and recognition of traditional knowledge as science. Indigenous knowledge should be given equal status to western science.
