Students who wanted any kind of education beyond that had to walk from 3 to 6 kilometers to one of several nearby towns. The young students mostly didn't mind the distance. But they did object to the treatment they received in the other places. All members of the Quechua indigenous people, the students were forced by teachers elsewhere to wear Western clothes instead of their traditional tribal dress. "It is important to wear our clothes, because we don't want to forget our culture," said Pascual Vargas, a 17-year-old Puka Puka native.

During our three-week tour of duty, we had an opportunity to visit some of the remote mountain academic schools. My group walked for six hours through the jungle with Victorino, one of the native teachers. We returned from the three-day visit covered with insect bites and mud, tired, hungry, and glad to be back at our base camp. Victorino makes this journey every week in order to bring the light of education to his people. This is his story.

TWM Campaign for indigenous rights Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 07:55:06 -0400 Campaign for indigenous rights runs into U.S. opposition UNITED NATIONS (AP) - In 1985, leaders of more than 300 million indigenous peoples in over 70 countries started campaigning for a UN declaration recognizing their right to self determination and land. But indigenous leaders say their campaign has run into strong opposition on those two key demands from the United States, Canada , Australia and New Zealand. As representatives of native peoples from around the globe gathered Monday at the United Nations to mark the International Day of the World's Indigenous People, there was no celebration - just a sobering assessment ofthe struggles ahead. "Indigenous people have been basically ignored in many cases, are some of the poorest of the poor, and are also some of the most excluded in the development process," said Alfredo Sfeir-Younis, the World Bank representative at the United Nations. "They are facing serious discrimination in terms of human rights, property, and also culture and citizenship," he told a news conference.

Indigenous peoples meet in Nicaragua By Allen Jennings MANAGUA The Third Continental Meeting of Indigenous, Black and Grassroots Resistance was held here October 7-12. Delegates from the Miskito, Mapuche, Quechua, Aymara, Sumu, Aleut, Maya and Eskimo communities (to name just a few), from 26 countries, participated. The main aims were to reflect collectively on the impact that the Spanish invaders had on the indigenous people, to recover the historic memory of the indigenous cultures, to develop democratic alternatives to the oppressive systems in which they find themselves and to push for a broader unity with all grassroots sectors. One of the most memorable events was the homage to Rigoberta Menchu in which she received an honorary doctorate from the University of Central America. She participated in the initial stages of the gathering but left Managua early in order to make the dangerous trip into her homeland, Guatemala (from which she has been exiled for more than a decade), to be with her people and to lead the protests in that country on October 12. pedestal, there was a series of protests outside several embassies, and there was a colourful march to the National Palace and a Concert for the Dignity of America. Meanwhile, President Violeta Chamorro held a small and very dignified ceremony with diplomats from the Spanish embassy.

INDIGENOUS HISTORY "Let's start at the very beginning, A very good place to start, When you read, you begin with A, B, C, When you sing, you begin with Do, Re, Mi." Questions for Reflection as you read: Who first inhabited the areas in which we now live? What is known of these people? Is their culture still extant? How can we understand the 'interconnectedness of all creation' in the light of each of our localities' relationship with its indigenous people? ARGENTINA Santiago del Estero, in common with the other provinces of northwestern Argentina, has a rich indigenous heritage. The history of its Native culture can be traced by its pottery and weaving. When the Spanish arrived in Santiago del Estero, the Guaycurues lived in the north and eastern part, the Santiagueanan prairies. To the south and west of the prairies lived the Tonocotes, the Lulues and the Vilelas. In the south and west of the province lived the Sanavirones and the Diaguitas. The Tonocotes cultivated maize, beans and squash. They collected the fruits of the local trees, the algarroba, the chanar and the mistol. They also ate honey from wild bees. The Tonocotes raised two different kinds of llamas, vicunas and guanacos, as well as ostriches.They wove shawls from the wool of the vicuna. The men wore feathers attached to their waists. From this custom came their nickname "Suris" because this is another name for the ostrich. The women wore two shawls, one around the waist and another around the shoulders. Their weapons were the bow and arrow, the club and lariat with balls attached. The latter is still used to round up cattle.

70. Indigenous Struggle For Land a quechua Indian from the Saraguro region in the Andean highlands.14. Historicalknowledge confirms the integral humanism practiced by the indigenous peoples http://www.colby.edu/personal/j/jpballar/indigenous struggle for land.htm

The Indigenous Struggle For Land against Oil Companies "The oil companies have not only caused the decomposition of our communities and the decomposition of our culture but also the destruction of the ecology. The fight for land is thus extended to the struggle for maintaining the ecology." says Dr. Luis Macas, president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE), and a Quechua Indian from the Saraguro region in the Andean highlands. Historical knowledge confirms the integral humanism practiced by the indigenous peoples and nationalities, which is still alive in the nationalities that have survived the exploitation, genocide, ethnocide and the dehumanized subjugation of Western civilization. The political objectives of the indigenous peoples and nationalities aim to guarantee the fulfillment of specific rights and propose the harmonic and balanced development of all of society in a context of peace and full democracy. They call upon all political and social sectors that coexist in the world to participate actively and creatively in the solution of the grave problems that have historically and continue to currently oppressed them. The problems facing indigenous peoples are deeply connected to the issue of land ownership. When the colonizers arrived, they cleared out the Indians. Today, land is concentrated in the hands of the few, and many indigenous people don't have any land. In many countries chunks of land are not even owned by citizens of that country; it is outside interests such as mining, oil, and forestry companies.

Indigenous People in Argentina Pamela Burke Overview There 16 to 20 indigenous groups in Argentina which dwell primarily in the North of the country, bordering Bolivia and Paraguay. The larger groups are the Collas (35,000), the Chiriguanos (15,000), the Tobas (15,000), the Mapuches (40,000), the Guaranies (10,500) of Misiones, and the Wichi (25,000). Further South, about 36,000 Mapuches live in the province of Nequen and Tehuelches, bordering on Chile. There are also varying estimates of Quechua and Quichua speakers in Argentina depending upon seasonal employment. In the Tierra del Fuego, there are also some Selk'namgon people. Quechua is the most widely spoken indigenous language in the northwestern provinces. While there are about 5,000 permanent residents who are Quechua speakers in the province of Jujuy, there have been estimates of about 800,000 Quechua speakers from Bolivia coming to Argentina for employment, including 200,000 temporary laborers, 100,000 looking for work, and 500,000 living in Buenos Aires. Chiringuan, Choroti, Mataco, Mocovi, and Toba are spoken in the Gran Chaco. In Mesopotamia, Guarani is the main language for indigenous people. Mapudungun is spoken in Patagonia, while Yamana, Ona, and Selk'namgon are spoken in Tierra del Fuego.

learning and teaching - styles and methods taking stock of new methods In recent decades new styles and methods of both teaching and learning have emerged. Some of the freshest initiatives have emerged from the experience of ecumenical educators. These new styles often challenge the presuppositions of "classical" methods. What are these changes? What values undergird such developments? How can these inform our common interest in ecumenical learning? What resources and tools can come out of these experiences? How could these inform the churches’ educational task? The WCC is exploring these new styles of knowing, thinking and doing, particularly among generally excluded sectors in society such as women Indigenous peoples and children , as well as in such areas as interfaith education peace education and family life education . The task involves: gathering and documenting experiences from different contexts, perspectives and starting points; reflection and analysis of emerging issues and concerns; consolidating elements which could constitute distinct models; and

RETURN OF THE INDIAN Conquest and revival in the Americas Some forty Quechua lean forward on their rough-hewn wooden stools. The classroom they fill smells of the potatoes and maize they grow and the sweat and earth with which they do it. They glare at the blackboard from under their brightly-coloured chollos (caps), some with the names of their villages knitted into the foreheads, the tassles on their long earflaps swinging as they strain to read the text. Lawyer Fernando Monge reads aloud as his black marker pen squeaks across the sheets of rough brown paper hanging over the blackboard: Title ten and eleven of the Peruvian constitution, `Use of Communal Land', Article 46. `Communal lands are the property of the community. They are inalienable, imprescriptible and unmortgageable in accordance with the constitution and its laws.' Article 47. This defines community residents' rights to use of the land and forbids its division into parcels. The legal definition of a community under Peru's agrarian reform law is a group of people living in a determined area with a common set of customs... comunidades campesinas ) which compose a nearby district. As the class breaks up for the day, Monge shouts over the growing Quechua hubbub: `If anyone's got land titles they want me to look at, I'll be here at 7 am tomorrow morning.'

This course of action could help to systematically break down the vicious cycle of foreign debt imposed on countries such as Ecuador and provide a strong global example. The Achuar, and the other indigenous groups of Ecuador's pristine Southern Amazon region, are peacefully resisting oil development in their ancestral territories through sound law, powerful alliances, and fierce courage and commitment. To date, this unique campaign is winning, and combined with the vision mentioned above, we are poised on the edge of a tangible and much needed victory for the environment, indigenous cultures, and life itself, that could be instrumental in turning the whole thing around. Bill Twist will discuss how Pachamama is supporting this movement on the grassroots, national, and international levels. An introduction to The Pachamama Alliance will begin the evening at 6:30 pm, followed by dinner (no host) and the presentation.
