Chile Index Go to full report Consultation organized by the National Ecological Action Network (RENACE) and attended by 95 participants including representatives from government ministries, professional and academic associations, business and political organizations, labor, indigenous groups, social and environmental NGOs, youth and local nature organizations and media. In 1994, with funding from UNDP, a national group was created to follow up Agenda 21. The program, coordinated by the National Commission for Environment (CONAMA), ended a year later because of CONAMA's inefficiency, the lack of a clear agenda and lack of political will of the Government to provide continuity. CONAMA is responsible for monitoring the Biodiversity Convention in conjunction with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Initiatives include an inventory of primary forest, a National Biodiversity Strategy, nine priority sites and 11 areas have been added to the National System of Wildlife Protected Areas, national parks and private reserves have been created following NGO initiatives, six mangrove areas have been given protected status under the RAMSAR Convention. These advances are related to the specific protection of selected ecosystems, but in a context of over exploitation and destruction of primary forest ecosystems and marine ecosystems where several species are in danger of extinction. Following the Biodiversity Convention, it is necessary to re-orient the use of natural resources towards sustainable modalities. The

Cars and buildings were damaged and at least 20 people injured in the demonstration, one of the largest in recent years. The Mapuches were protesting against a police raid last week on their headquarters and against alleged racial discrimination by judges. More than 120 demonstrators were arrested.

At a ceremony attended by indigenous representatives in the capital, Santiago, Mr Lagos announced the creation of a Commission for Historic Truth. Included in this is a pledge to grant more land to Mapuche indians living in the south of Chile and to give them money to buy seeds. In reference to the Mapuches' opposition to timber and electric companies operating in the region, which has occasionally erupted into violence, Mr Lagos warned they would have to respect the rule of law.

UBC Law Theses and Dissertation Abstracts Indigenous Peoples' Rights in Chile and Canada : A Comparative Study José Antonio Aylwin (LL.M. 1999) ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the past and present realities of the rights of Indigenous peoples in Chile and Canada from a comparative perspective. In Chapter I, the author explains the international human rights and Indigenous peoples' law that provide the theoretical framework behind this study. The political and territorial rights that different international forums have acknowledged to these peoples in recent years are identified. The methodology used in the elaboration of this study, which includes the analysis of documentary data, the case study and the interview methods, is explained. The author describes the objective of this study, characterizing it as applied social research aimed at providing information that can be useful for the transformation process in which the peoples that are subject of the this study are involved. In Chapters II and III, the author analyses the rights of Indigenous peoples in Chile and Canada respectively from pre-contact until today. The central aspects of their pre-contact cultures and organizations are described. The author also describes main characteristics of the relationships that were established with Indigenous peoples by the Spanish in Chile and by the French and the English in Canada, and later by the states in the two contexts. Special importance is given to those changes recently introduced in the Indigenous-state relationship in both contexts, focusing on their implications for these peoples' rights.

Praise and Doubts for Gov't 'Indigenous Pact' By Gustavo Gonzalez, IPS 6 August 1999 SANTIAGO, Aug 6 (IPS) - A pact promoted by the Chilean government with the aim of resolving increasingly complex conflicts with indigenous peoples and fomenting development of native communities drew praise as well as doubts regarding its effectiveness. The business sector's refusal to sign the pact and the lack of measures to address the problem of logging operations on land claimed by Mapuche communities appeared to be the weakpoints of the pact presented by President Eduardo Frei Thursday. Land disputes between indigenous groups and logging concerns and conflicts over energy projects such as dams have heightened since January, with violent incidents in the regions of the Bio- bio and Araucania, between 400 and 800 kms south of Santiago.

Mr. Sergio Ojeda Human Rights President House of Representatives On our behalf: Receive our respectful greetings from the Mapuche-Pehuenche families from the communities of Quepuca Ralco and Ralco Lepoy, we who oppose the construction of Endesa's Ralco Hydroelectric Project. Our objective is to bring to your attention the unjust situation incurred by the transnational company Endesa, of which for years we have fallen victim. We, the Mapuche-Pehuenche are the keepers of knowledge about Itrofil Mongen (biodiversity), which allows the preservation of ecosystems, and which is the source of ideological and cultural inspiration for us, because in it, we perceive the natural events and its connection with being Mapuche, and our place of origin, called Tuwan in our language. In our ancestral Mapuche-Pehuenche lands abundant biodiversity is found. This is an essential element for the life of the Mapuche-Pehuenche, Chileans, and for all of humanity, and for those of us who live in Mapuche territory, which is today being invaded by multinational companies acting under the protection of the government in turn, and whose purpose is to take our remaining lands. The consequences of the institutional and military imposition of the Chilean national state upon our culture and lands, have been the gradual reduction, usurpation, plundering and exploitation of our lands and territory, which are the basic pillars for the development, support and future of our Mapuche-Pehuenche ancestral memories.

Day of Indigenous People Marked by Conflict By Gustavo González Inter Press Service August 9, 2001 The attempt by six indigenous Mapuche leaders to seek asylum in the Swedish embassy in Chile illustrates the tension-filled panorama in which Latin America commemorated International Day of the World's Indigenous People, decreed by the United Nations in 1994. Mobilisations by Mapuche communities in southern Chile, demanding the return of the lands they say were illegally taken over by logging companies, are among the hot-points of ethnic problems occurring in several countries throughout the region. Leaders of the All the Lands Council, one of Chile's most radical native groups, entered the Swedish embassy in Santiago Wednesday at midday, finally leaving that night after trade envoy Cecilia Lithander agreed to present their asylum requests to her government. Four of the six Mapuches involved face legal charges brought by the logging companies and the Chilean government for illegal occupation of the lands. But the native leaders maintain that the laws under which they are being accused run counter to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and are discriminatory. While his colleagues remained in the embassy, the 'werkén' (messenger) Aucán Huilcamán, leader of the All the Lands Council, met with public defender Alex Carocca to denounce the ''juridical colonialism'' of the penal reforms enacted this year in Chile. The reform package, which created the Public Defender's Office, upholds the Chilean government's legislation for conflict resolution while rejecting the aspects of collective and individual property and action as defined by the ethnic minorities, says Huilcamán.

Gaining Ground: Social, Cultural and Political Processes of Latin America’s Indigenous Peoples Institute of Latin American Studies, University of Liverpool Dates: 21 – 22 February 2003 The Conference will examine the means by which Latin American indigenous peoples are gaining ground within the neo-liberal state in the context of globalisation. Papers will examine the processes of struggle, dialogue or, in Sarah Radcliffe’s words, ‘entanglement’, between indigenous peoples and the state, over the definition and control of political, institutional, cultural, social, and environmental terrains. To what extent have indigenous peoples been able to influence the definition of these terrains, i.e. to what extent are they ‘gaining ground’? Or, up to what point has the state been able to subvert their claims and preclude meaningful change? Themes of the Conference: ·Intersections between identity, territoriality and legal rights ·Indigenous peoples and constitutional reform ·Indigenous peoples and human rights ·The culturalisation and/or ethnicisation of politics ·Indigenous people and biodiversity ·Indigenous languages, culture and intercultural education programmes

Originally, I tried to keep everything based on geography. Thus, for example, the Maori were a subset under New Zealand. But they were the only subset (the mythology and sacred traditions of white New Zealanders are derived from Europe and I had no reason to give them their own section side by side with the Maori). As such examples grew, I realized that geographical categories were too awkward. So I decided to have a section called "Indigenous Peoples." I am aware that definitions of "indigenous" can be problematic and subject to hostile multi-cultural scrutiny. For the sake of simplicity, by "indigenous," I mean a still-surving people who were the original (or at least among the most ancient) inhabitants of a land before those lands were turned into colonies by peoples of another culture who invariably considered themselves "superior" to the "natives." By "indigenous," I also mean a people who still maintain some contact with their ancient ways, ceremonies, beliefs, arts, ways of healing, birthing, dying. Finally, by "indigenous," I mean a people who have generally been marginalized and oppressed by the newcomers, but who, despite this, sustain a larger visionary sense of their own worth in the web of life.

Capacity Building and Training The Nawa Institute goal is to provide capacity building to grassroots indigenous communities in different areas of communications to preserve and protect indigenous knowledge, ancestral traditions, and their environment as well as to ensure their self- determination and human rights. Born of the necessities of the indigenous peoples, interculturally differentiated training is an alternative form of education that respects and re-enforces traditional knowledge and cultural identity. The concept of interculturally differentiated training refers to the respect and appreciation for the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples and underpins the methodology of the program. Public education in the cases of many of these countries does not reach indigenous communities and when it does arrive, it imposes a foreign form of education which fails to take into account the language, and cultural idiosyncrasies of its students and thus contributes to the cultural extermination of indigenous nations. Training Course Impart skills in different areas through interculturally differentiated training in distinct areas of communication to indigenous communities and grass-roots organizations until the representatives of these communities become proficient in the in the use of different communications media.

TO CREATE PERMANENT FORUM FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES The creation of a new United Nations forum will provide a platform for the world's indigenous peoples to express their views and air their grievances on a wide range of issues, including violation of their rights. By Mithre J Sandrasagra United Nations: A new UN forum, to be created within the next 12 months, will provide a platform for the world's indigenous peoples to express their views and air their grievances on centuries-old and deeply ingrained problems. The Forum on Indigenous Issues, the first of its kind, will enable some 300 million indigenous people living in more than 70 countries, to convey their opinions on violations of their rights which have been on the UN agenda since 1972. The new body will consist of 16 members, eight of whom will represent indigenous peoples and the remaining eight will represent member states. All 16 will be appointed by the President of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), on the basis of broad consultations with indigenous organisations. In choosing representatives, the 53-member UN Human Rights Commission, which took the decision to establish the forum in late April, will take into account 'the diversity and geographical distribution of the indigenous people of the world as well as the principles of transprency, representability and equal opportunity for all indigenous people'.

Indigenous Peoples in Costa Rica: On the Road to Extinction? A look at ILO Convention 169 in Costa Rica In Costa Rica, there exists a long tradition of violating the rights of the Indigneous communities which continues to this day. Like many of its neighbors, the Costa Rican government has repeatedly failed to comply with its own national, as well as international, laws that are in force to protect and promote Indigenous cultures. This lack of political implementation has led to a rapid disintegration of Indigenous identity and could lead to the total disappearance of these cultures. Article 2 of the Indigenous Act says that the transfer of land from non-Indigenous to Indigenous people will be free of charge. CONAI has the obligation to buy back the land to later give it to the Indigenous communities. However, CONAI has never received the necessary funding to perform this fundamental task. As a consequence, very little land is in the hands of Indigenous people. The ratification in 1993, and subsequent implementation in April 1994, of ILO Convention 169 has given Indigenous communities in Costa Rica a new instrument with which to fight for their rights. ILO Convention 169 in Costa Rica It is difficult for the customs and customary laws of Indigenous peoples to be recognized as applicable within the implementation of national law. One only need look at the way that the Indigenous communities are forced to organize to be able to advocate their rights. For any Indigenous organization to be recognized by the government, it has to be formed in accordance with the governmental Communal Development Associations. The government has set up these Associations on every reservation. The rules of these Associations require the Indigenous peoples to organize themselves in a way that is foreign to them. Organizations that refuse to comply with these procedures and try to operate independently of the Associations are not recognized by the government.
