find your way: Indigenous peoples in Brazil Rights Can the Indian...? The Indian Statute ... International The Constitution of 88 :: Introduction :: Right to be different :: Rights to their land :: Other regulations ... :: Constitutions of other countries Introduction The constitutional Rights of the indigenous peoples are expressed in a specific chapter of the Constitution of 1988 (title VIII, "Of the Social Order ", chapter VIII, "of the indigenous peoples"), aside from other regulations throughout the text and an article of the Acts of the Transitory Constitutional Regulations. This deals with the Rights marked by at least two innovative and important concepts in relation to prior Constitutions and the so-called The Indian Statute. The first innovation is the abandonment of the assimilationist point of view, which considered the indigenous peoples as a transitory social category, destined to disappear. The second innovation is that the rights of the indigenous peoples over their lands are defined in the concept of original rights that are prior to the creation of the State itself. This is a result of the de facto historical recognition that the indigenous peoples were the first occupants of Brazil. The new Constitution establishes, in this manner, a new outlook for the relations between the State, Brazilian society and the indigenous peoples .

Overheard on the Web Ted Burton on Our Predicament In response to a comment on Nat-Lang: I do not know if you are taking steps to learn your language- but as an adult, if you are not then it is you who are responsible for what you do not know. Kowaunckamish, netop. I greet you and beg your permission to speak, friend. Be gentle with our sister Marcia, noqua. For some languages, there is no one left to teach.

Sabine Dedenbach-Salazar wrote on 27 April 1996: As you may know last week we celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of teaching and research of the Quechua language at the University of Bonn. There were several invited speakers and the celebration was well attended. At the end a colleague from Peru who teaches Quechua at the University of Munich spoke to us saying that he had just come back from Peru and that there he had heard that Parliament had just passed a law that 'forbids' the Quechua language, and that the President, A. Fujimori, is about to sign the law. Of course we are wondering what form exactly such a law has and would therefore be grateful if you could circulate this message, and maybe some better informed colleague could give us additional information about this rather incredible step of the Peruvian government.

BACK NEXT The Foundation Current Programs Intership Program Contact us The Fundation A Brief History Mission Statement ... Short term objectives THE FOUNDATION It was established in the city of Sucre by a reunion of the representatives of 39 communities which proposed that the organisation should be controlled and directed by the native people themselves, on the 9th of September 1984. It obtained juridical personality in 1986. It has improved the agricultural infrastructure of dozens of Aymara and Quechua communities building systems of micro-irrigation, greenhouses, community centres, veterinary centres and also mobilising the conservation of soil and reforesting Andean spaces. It has trained indigenous leaders to occupy new spaces of power on the local, regional and national level, which includes and understanding of development as a way to break with the traditional schemes of domination which act against we indigenous peoples. There are hundreds of national and international development organisations in Bolivia, but Kechuaymara is one of the few development institutiions founded on an indigenous philosophy and by indigenous people of the country. It has a board Directors composed of founder members and representatives of indigenous communities who govern the interests of the Foundation. Its technical and professional team is made up, in addition, of indigenous men and women. A BRIEF HISTORY In 1984, Andres Jachakollo and Waskar Tupai Ari, two Bolivian Aymara, as members of a religious organisatiion discovered that spiritual activities were not sufficient to overcome the oppression suffered by the indigenous communities. They gathered educated indigenous people and representatives of indigenous communities to establish an organisation of indigenous communities that did not have religious or party-political ends. Jachakollo and Ari also proposed to set up this institution as a new way of struggling for human rights and dignity for the indigenous peoples, following the same route as the long history of indigenous resistance in the Andes.

Email DECLARATION OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF QULLASUYU - BOLIVIA ON THE PERMANENT FORUM FOR INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS The indigenous organisations of Bolivia: Also present at this meeting are representatives from other South American organisations, including Carmen Yamberla (FICI - Ecuador), Jesusa Valdivia, Rumimaki Departmental Federation (Puno - Peru), Aucan Huilcaman, All Territories Council (Mapuche - Chile), Maria Teresa Huentequeo, Women´s Association (Mapuche - Chile) and Marcial Arias (FPCI - Panama). During the meeting we examined how the idea of the Permanent Forum had progressed since it was presented in the Global Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993. We also shared information on the process of monitoring and participation which the indigenous representatives have undergone with the Permanent Forum. We were also informed of the resolution taken by the Human Rights Council, its ratification by the Economic and Social Council ECOSOC and its adoption by the United Nations' General Assembly. After having exchanged and analysed various points of view on the course the Permanent Forum is taking, the participating organisations identified their lack of participation in its progression. However, in response to this reflection we confirmed our resolve to participate in the process of making eligible indigenous representation as South America proposes and from this moment forth we will take an active role in the development of the Permanent Forum's activities.

E Law - Murdoch University Electronic Journal of Law, Vol 2, No 1 (April 1995) INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND LANGUAGE Fernand de Varennes [This article is an extract from a much larger work soon to appear in 1995 with Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, in the Netherlands, titled "Language, Minorities and Human Rights". The author wishes to thank Lise Lorrain, of Moncton, Canada, Elizabeth Handsley of Murdoch University, Perth, Australia, Professor Rosalyn Higgins of the London School of Economics, London, England, and Dr Bruno de Witte of the Rijskuniversiteit-Limburg, Maastricht, Netherlands, for their kind counsel and assistance.] Language is a gift from the Creator. Embodied in aboriginal language is our unique relationship to the Creator, our attitudes, beliefs, values, and the fundamental notion of what is truth.[1] 1.0 PRELIMINARY REMARKS As with other individuals, members of indigenous peoples[2] may claim that they are treated in a disadvantageous manner if public authorities and the resources of the state are not responsive to their demands for equal treatment and non-discrimination in respect to language. Whether or not the state's behaviour should be deemed discriminatory will depend upon factors such as demographic considerations, whether the indigenous language exists in written form, the financial resources of the government, the type and level of services demanded in the indigenous language, etc. Moreover, it appears increasingly evident that indigenous peoples are entitled to preferential treatment in linguistic affairs, relative to that afforded to other individuals. This is due not to their position as a minority, which they may not necessarily constitute in some states, but to the acknowledgement in international law, as well as in some national jurisdictions, that they occupy a unique political and legal niche, with corresponding "privileges" not necessarily available to others.

Globalisation opens opportunities to ethnic communities that are denied by the strict borders of Nation States and creates a greater possibility for communication and alliance, according to the experts Eduardo Bascuña and John W. Durston.

/* Written 4:07 PM Aug 17, 1996 by igc:newsdesk in ax:ips.english */ /* "LATIN AMERICA: Native Peoples Wary" */ *** 14-Aug-96 *** Native Peoples Wary of Paternalism By Mario Gonzalez QUITO, Aug 14 (IPS) - More than 100 representatives of Latin American indigenous groups, meeting this week in this Ecuadorean capital, underlined their desire to play a greater political role. The first continental gathering of Native leaders also denounced paternalism and demagoguery. Their most famous spokersperson, the Guatemalan Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu, declared the gathering as ''the first step to bringing a different message, one without the old complaints and that proposes concrete solutions.'' The meeting was held as part of the United Nations-sponsored International Day of Indigenous People which has been held on Aug. 4 every year since 1994. Its conclusions were summarized in an Indigenous Declaration of El Yavirac, named after a small mountain in the southern part of Quito. Distributed here Monday, the declaration describes the need to ''construct our democratic project which does away with authoritarianism, corruption and racism''. Participants analyzed the role of different ethnic groups in democratic processes on a regional level, their experience in getting access to local authorities and relations between indigenous peoples and the State.

At the End of the Rainbow authors: Sharon Lamb and Sophie Simone Date: October 29th, 1997 Background Rationale: This lesson plan is derived from the photograph for the month of December on the 1998 NI One World Calendar ( New Internationalist ). Additional lesson plans for the NI One World Calendar are available here. The picture we are profiling shows two houses nestled in the Valley of the Volcanos. It is in the Sierra of Ecuador where the fertile volcanic black soil is cultivated by the Quechua Indians. They represent 40% of the total population of Ecuador. There is also a rainbow in the backgroung of the two houses which is symbolic of their nation's flag. The seven colors of the rainbow are found in their flag and it's presence in the picture represents the struggle of the people to survive after 500 years of discrimination and one day attain freedom. Due to the people's availability of political representation by the NUEVO PAIS PACHACUTIC party, things are gradually improving for the Quecha Indians but much work still has to be done, as the threat of extinction haunts them daily. We are using this picture as an introduction to indigeneous peoples, their culture and the discrimination they have had to face. We are offering an extension to this image for classroom use in the following lesson. The picture itself serves as a springboard for the themes we wish to discover with the children.
