INTRODUCTION First I express my own heartfelt gratitude to the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago for staging this Second Gathering of the Indigenous Peoples of the Caribbean as aftermath to CARIFESTA V and in commemoration of 1993 the United Nations declared Year of Indigenous Peoples. I am also grateful to the Santa Rosa Carib community for their hospitality and wish them all success as they celebrate the 234 th Annual Santa Rosa de Arima Festival. THE GARIFUNA - TRULY INDIGENOUS TO THE CARIBBEAN Today I speak to you as a representative of the proud Garifuna nation. That nation numbers about 200,000 and is found in the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua as well as in the diaspora throughout North America. The Garifuna are unique in being both Amerindian and African and being equally proud of these two distinct roots.

World Trade Organization WTO Home Background Get Involved News Updates ... Links Indigenous Peoples' Seattle Declaration on the occasion of the Third Ministerial Meeting of the World Trade Organization November 30-December 3, 1999 December 5, 1999 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. 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.

Daniels Interdisciplinary Ecology College of Natural Resources and Environment University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611 adaniels@ufl.edu Abstract In the race to protect remaining tracts of neotropical forests and the resources harbored therein, the Western concept of biological conservation has heretofore been the dominate modus operandi for protecting natural areas in Latin America. Through the establishment of first-world style protected area systems, indigenous cultures and traditional resource-uses have historically been considered only in light of how they may affect biodiversity and ecosystem function within protected areas. Case studies of various indigenous cultures onto which protected areas have been superimposed demonstrate the documented and potential negative effects on both biological and cultural systems, and the connection between the two. An understanding of these effects is important in cultural preservation and biodiversity conservation.

Table of Contents Jinn Home Page Search Net-Links ... YO! Indigenous Movements A Century from Now The Indian Americas? By Andrew Reding Date: 03-16-98 From Canada's Northwest Territories to the border between Panama and Colombia, indigenous peoples are gaining recognition and control over their own territories and resources. The nature of these gains varies from place to place, writes PNS associate editor Andrew Reding, but the overall trend is clear. Andrew Reding, a political scientist who has worked and traveled widely in Mexico, directs the North America Project of the World Policy Institute. T he tide is turning in much of the Americas as native peoples reestablish ownership over large tracts of land, gain official recognition of native forms of government and justice, get elected to public office, and, in some cases, even establish autonomous regions. The trend began a couple of decades ago at the southernmost tip of North America, in Panama, where the isthmus of Darien, a narrow string of largely impenetrable rain forest, connects North America to South America. The Pan-American Highway was to have linked Panama to Colombia here yet it remains incomplete, a monument to the tenacity of the indigenous peoples of the region. With the abolition of the Panamanian army following the U.S. invasion, they now enjoy a comfortable measure of independence from the Panamanian government. In nearby Nicaragua, the Miskitos and Sumus, who inhabit the Caribbean lowlands, wrested autonomy in the 1980s as the Sandinista government, fighting CIA-backed forces in the region, sought to appease indigenous populations. It set up two large autonomous regions one for English-speaking blacks, the other for Miskitos and Sumus each with its own legislature, bilingual education, and substantial control over natural resources.

Located in Costa Rica's rugged Talamanca Mountains, La Amistad covers approximately 12% of the country and forms a complex mosaic of indigenous reserves, forest reserves, wildlife refuges, and other natural areas containing nearly 80% of Costa Rica's plant and animal species. Collaborating with the Costa Rican government, the Organization of American States (OAS), and several local groups, Conservation International helped produce the official management strategy for La Amistad that was adopted by the Costa Rican government in 1990. Since then, efforts have been undertaken by the Panamanian government, OAS, and grassroots organizations to draft a similar strategy for the portion of La Amistad that lies in Panama, and La Amistad (Panama) formally became part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves in 2000.

Second International Indigenous Forum on Climate Change DECLARATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES ON CLIMATE CHANGE The Hague, November 11-12, 2000 I. PREAMBLE II. CONSIDERATIONS Earth is our Mother. Our special relationship with Earth as stewards, as holders of indigenous knowledge cannot be set aside. Our special relation with her has allowed us to develop for millenia a particular knowledge of the environment that is the foundation of our lifestyles, institutions, spirituality and world view. Therefore, in our philosophies, the Earth is not a commodity, but a sacred space that the Creator has entrusted to us to care for her, this home where all beings live. Our traditional knowledge on sustainable use, conservation and protection of our territories has allowed us to maintain our ecosystems in equilibrium. This role has been recognised at the Earth Summit and is and has been our contribution to the planet's economy and sustainability for the benefit present and future generations. Our cultures, and the territories under our stewardship, are now the last ecological mechanisms remaining in the struggle against climate devastation. All Peoples of the Earth truly owe a debt to Indigenous Peoples for the beneficial role our traditional subsistence economies play in the maintenance of planet's ecology.

Credits Feedback Front Page Indigenous issues featured in Resolutions By Pratap Chatterjee - IPS The Ngobe-Bugle indigenous peoples of Panama and the Nuu-Chah-Nulth indigenous peoples of western Canada share a problem ( they are both fighting major Canadian companies who want to exploit the resources on the indigenous lands which is expected to cause tremendous environmental and social damage. Rio Tinto Zinc of Canada wants to mine the Cerro Colorado region of Panama for copper while MacMillan Bloedell is already logging the temperate rainforests of Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver island. These and other extractive projects are examples of problems to be condemned in a slew of resolutions that will be presented Wednesday on behalf of indigenous peoples to the World Conservation Congress for approval. This year indigenous peoples issues are an important part of the resolutions that have been brought to the floor of the IUCN general assembly and hopes are high that the international organisation, which has traditionally focussed on protecting animal, bird and plant species, will recognise that indigenous peoples face similar threats from development activities of major banks and corporations. "We want the companies and the government to demarcate our lands and give us the opportunity to negotiate any development of these lands directly," says Eligio Alvarado, a Kuna from Panama who has come to Montreal to represent the indigenous peoples of Central America.

The 36-year-old teacher hurried along the narrow trails, anxious to arrive by 8 a.m., when classes start.

NORTH AMERICA - Mexico: The Puebla Panama Plan threathens Los Chimalapas tropical forest The Zoque forest stretches over the boundaries of the three states of greatest biodiversity in Mexico: Oaxaca, Veracruz and Chiapas. It is the most compact and best conserved continuous forest of North America, with a million hectares that include pine, holm oak and pine-holm oak forests, cloud or mesophile forests, and high, medium and low tropical forests. Los Chimalapas is the Oaxacan section of the Zoque forest, and its high degree of conservation has been possible thanks to the respectful care of the Zoque indigenous people of Oaxaca. Los Chimalapas communicates with El Ocote in Chiapas and Uxpanapa in Veracruz, through biological corridors. Hydroelectric dams, highways and tree plantations were unsuccesful megaprojects designed for Los Chimalapas during the Administrations of Presidents José López Portillo, Miguel de la Madrid and Carlos Salinas. During the government of Ernesto Zedillo, there was a more misleading proposal: to declare Los Chimalapas a biosphere reserve, but this project could not be implemented due to its rejection by the local people. The agents of globalization and nature mercantilization can see hidden wealth in the rainforest: stones and sand for southeastern highways, non-metal minerals for the microelectronics industry, water for the dams of Chiapas, labour for the maquiladoras in the southeast. Transport companies and hotels want tourism. Biotechnology demands biodiversity, and Los Chimalapas is considered a unique genetic bank. The Army will in turn facilitate the control of natural reserves and will ensure private investment.

80. Voice Of Indigenous Peoples - A Book Review By Scott London instance, Marcial Arias Garcia, a Kuna Indian from panama and the charged with overseeingthe social, cultural, and environmental issues of indigenous peoples. http://www.scottlondon.com/reviews/ewen.html

VOICE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES Native People Address the United Nations Edited by Alexander Ewen 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.
