SAIIC: Promoting justice and peace for Indian peoples For over 500 years, Indian people of the Americas have been subjected to colonialism. Our peoples' lands have been dissected by political boundaries; our rivers polluted and our trees cut down to fuel industrial economies. The lives and rights of Indigenous people are threatened by military repression and mercenary groups. Foreign control of Indigenous lands is enforced in the name of free trade and economic growth. The laws of most countries fail to recognize Indigenous territorial rights and rights to autonomous development. However, in spite of efforts to exterminate us and force us to assimilate into the societies of the colonizers, today over 43 million Indigenous people live in this hemisphere. In many countries in South and Meso America (Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean), Indigenous people make up much of the population. Our cultures, languages, religions, and medicines are diverse and very much alive. Indians throughout the hemisphere are fighting for survival. From the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego, Indian people are uniting, strengthening each others' struggles, and nurturing hope for future generations. In response to the need for international support for Indigenous rights, the South and Meso American Indian Rights Center (SAIIC) was formed at an Indian conference in Tiwanaku, Bolivia, in 1983. Since then, we have grown into a strong resource for the Indian people of the Americas, with the following programs.

HOME CURRENT ISSUES WARD VALLEY AN OPINION OR 2 ... EMAIL Campaign for Indigenous Rights Runs into U. . Opposition UNITED NATIONS (AP) In 1985, leaders of more than 300 million indigenous peoples in over 70 countries started campaigning for a U.N. 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. 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, but there was no celebration just a sobering assessment of the 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 leaders have been campaigning for a U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People to take the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights a step further and affirm that indigenous peoples are equal in dignity and rights to all other peoples but also have a right to be different.

Back to Homepage Back to Contents skip to Next section The Languages: ‘Exotic’ and Different There are three main points to get over right from the start. Firstly one must realise just how different Latin America is from the West, and secondly that in itself, Latin America is an enormously diverse place. Thirdly, when it comes to the languages spoken in Latin America today, it is Spanish, and in Brazil Portuguese, that are unquestionably the mainstream, dominant languages of the continent. Out of a total population of something like 400 million people in Latin America, probably less than 30 million people speak indigenous languages, and most of these people are in any case bilingual in either Spanish or Portuguese.

4 November 2002 BIOTECH DRUG CAUSING DEADLY ANEMIA/BIO-PROSPECTORS/INDIGENOUS ASSEMBLY CONDEMNS TRADE PACT "Biotech products need to be handled with great care ... and we need to be looking for unexpected adverse effects." - French physician Jerome Rossert (item 2) "Leonidas Iza, president of the powerful Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE), warned that implementing the FTAA [the Free Trade Area of the Americas] could mean the privatization of such basic services as water and the invasion of genetically modified agricultural products." (item 1) "Fortune-hunting scientists are scouring vast tracts of tropical rainforests for plants to produce new antibiotics and other drugs that could be worth billions of dollars. ...Like the gold rush of 150 years ago that lured thousands of hopeful treasure seekers, "bio-prospectors" and global drug giants have staked claims to areas of forest... access to rainforests is the must-have asset for bioprospectors, especially those who want to raise money from stock exchange listings." (item 3) ' "We indigenous peoples do not permit patents or other private property rights over life and traditional knowledge, because for us they are of a collective nature, inalienable and inter- generational, and they are linked to the notion of our ancestral territories."
