This legal vacuum could be looked upon as the continuation of an unending genocide inflicted on indigenous peoples from time immemorial. One might think that our culture had been intended solely to give mankind its folklore image, to the extent of being catalogued as the heritage of that same mankind, with no recognition of its true origin. We are living through a period of wholesale plundering or pirating of indigenous knowledge and products without any related benefits for our peoples. For instance, until quite recently the involvement of indigenous botanists and medicine men was considered retrograde in medicine, while today many of medicine's transnational pharmaceutical companies are investing large or smaller amounts of money to gain control of traditional indigenous medicine, and even registering sacred plants as if they have been developed in a laboratory. At the same time indigenous designs are gradually gaining a foothold in fashion and on the runways, but with alien labels or marks that have nothing to do with our peoples.

http://www.scottlondon.com/reviews/ewen.html

Extractions: 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.

http://www.cidh.oas.org/Indigenas/Preface.htm

Extractions: PREFACE Concern for the human rights of indigenous peoples and their members has been a constant feature in the work of the Commission, as shown by the documents included in this compilation. Soon after it began its activities, in 1972, the Commission declared that it was a sacred obligation of the states to protect the indigenous peoples of their territories. That concern gained wide visibility as of several cases in the 1980s, in particular the decision, in 1985, that led the Commission to ask the Government of Brazil to adopt a series of measures on behalf of the Yanomami people, including the demarcation of their lands. As of 1989, when the Commission began the process of preparing an American declaration on the rights of indigenous peopleswhich entailed extensive consultations and meetings throughout the hemispherethere has been increased interest on the part of the indigenous peoples to use the mechanisms of the inter-American human rights system to pursue claims and defend their rights. The growing number of petitions received in this vein reflect this trend. The States have also expressed greater interest in and sensitivity towards those issues, evidenced in several friendly settlement agreements entered into and now being negotiated.

Extractions: Our difference has set us apart as a people, and unfortunately, the appreciation for Latin culture is lacking outside our groups. There have been many unfair judgments and stereotypes that people have labeled us with. Some common prejudiced views are portraits of a lazy, backward, violent, primitive, poor and uneducated people. Because many aspects of our culture differed greatly from that of the Americans, we were seen as a deviation from the norm. Americans believed that Latinos were subordinate or inferior, and that gave them the incentive to literally walk all over our land, our culture, our freedom, and us. Because we are a mixture of ethnicities, the stereotypes of the Indigenous peoples , and the Africans were combined. We were seen as a threat to the survival of the white race, and at any opportunity we were constantly put in our place as the inferior natives. The prejudice reflected in our opportunities for economic support, jobs, political power, and general survival. We were constantly afraid of the settlers because their population could literally crush ours and in addition, attacks by white supremacist groups kept us from rising as a people. Our history incorporates events in Spain , Europe, South America, Central America, Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico Incas . The Aztecs, who were believed to originate in a legendary place called Atzlan, were located in central Mexico and northern Central America. Tenochititlan (present day Mexico City) was home to Emperor Montezuma II. In 1521, Hernando Cortez seized the empire and it collapsed into the hands of the Spaniards. From there Cortez sent expeditions further into the Americas to conquer land. Among these conquerors was Francisco Pizarro. In 1532 he began his quest to conquer the
