61. Survival For Tribal And Indigenous Peoples - Bulletin In Czech On The Awa Of Bra Navrh zneni dopisu Dear Mr President,. I am writing in connection withthe situation of the Awa Indians in the brazilian state of Maranhao. http://www.survival-international.org/old site/czechawa.htm

Nekontaktovanym Indianum v Brazilii Hrozi Vyhubeni V roce 1982 obdrzela brazilska vlada a jeji tezebni spolecnost CVRD vic nez 900 milionu US dolaru od Svetove banky a Evropske unie na podporu tezby zelezne rudy v horach Carajas. Jednou z podminek pujcky od Svetove banky byla demarkace vsech indianskych uzemi v oblasti. Ohraniceni indianskych oblasti, ktere pozaduje i brazilska ustava, je stezejni podminkou pro ochranu uzemi a s nim i kultury a casto i zivotu Indianu. Do dnesni doby vsak neni v oblasti Carajas ve state Maranhao ohraniceno a uznano uzemi, kde zije cast velmi zranitelne indianske skupiny Awa, a to presto, ze pujcka je cerpana. Indianu Awa, kteri patri k poslednim brazilskym lovcum a sberacum, je dnes celkem asi 400, o polovinu mene, nez pred padesati lety. Z nich je asi 150 'nekontaktovanych', tedy takovych, kteri nemaji zadne kontakty s neindianskou populaci, a jsou tudiz velmi zranitelni vuci nemocem, pokud se s ni setkaji. Napr. v prosinci 1998 zemrelo sest lidi ze skupiny nekontaktovanych Awa, pravdepodobne po infekci od vetsinove populace. Rada kontaktovanych Awa zazila masakry, pri nichz zahynulo mnoho jejich pribuznych. Demarkaci uzemi v Maranhao brani predevsim zajmy mistnich politiku a obchodniku, z nichz nekteri vlastni pudu na uzemi, patricimu Awa. Je tu proto i tlak na zmenseni plochy, urcene k demarkaci, coz by mimo jine znamenalo preruseni kontaktu s dvema oblastmi na sever a na jih od ni (Alto Turiacu a Caru), kde ziji dalsi Indiani skupiny Awa.

Subscribe to CM Magazine Back to March 1999 Journal See articles about two activists fighting to correct centuries of injustice: Pedro Garcia and Diana Pombo T The current attempts to usurp traditional knowledge are thus only the latest manifestation of the piecemeal subversion of historical rights to land and natural resources. The challenges before Diana Pombo and Pedro Garcia, the two activists profiled this month, are formidable. For they are engaged not only in correcting centuries of injustice but also in converting attitudes and prejudices that have hardened into concrete blocks of resistance.

Two thousand peaceful protestors marched to the city of Porto Seguro on April 22nd where the official celebration of 500th anniversary of the landing by Portuguese colonisers. The "anti-celebration" hoped to highlight the plight of the country's indigenous peoples. Their population has dropped from 5 million to 300,000 people after 5 centuries of conquest, persecution, and exploitation. Despite official authorisation, police lay in wait for the marchers just outside the city and charged them without warning or provocation. Over 30 people were injured, and two bishops were caught up in the mayhem. CAFOD's program officer for Brazil Janet Smith witnessed the terror first hand and says it underlines the lack of respect the Government has for the rights of its indigenous citizens: "It's just another example of the continuation of 500 years of exclusion and repression. The authorities did not want to have Indians spoiling their party. They did not want a crowd of indigenous people turning up and saying this country was not discovered but invaded and colonised".

Health needs of indigenous people stressed at Permanent Forum 16 May - The "acute health needs" of indigenous peoples cut across socio-economic boundaries, Permanent Forum member Mililani Trask today told the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues as it continued its discussion on the theme of health. Summarizing the statements of several participants, Ms. Trask (United States) said underlying causes of poor health for indigenous people included colonization, homelessness, poor housing, poverty, lack of reproductive health rights, domestic violence and addiction. Health care should be envisaged from an indigenous perspective, which encompassed mental, physical and spiritual health. There was a direct relationship between land use and indigenous health. Indigenous women and children had special needs, including expanding immunization and combating domestic abuse and addiction. In formulating the Forum's recommendations, Ms. Trask said Forum members should work with the United Nations Joint Programme on AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health Organization (WHO) and other United Nations agencies to ensure better coordination and delivery of health programmes for indigenous communities. United Nations agencies should identify focal points for indigenous issues within their secretariats. The call for a Global Plan of Action for Indigenous Health had not been heeded, and a second International Decade of the World's Indigenous people could help ensure a more integrated approach to health.

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.

Syllabus: Indigenous Peoples - Global Issues (Fall 2001) Professor Peter d'Errico Course description This course provides a critical overview of present day issues facing indigenous peoples. We begin by examining the concept of a "Fourth World." Who are indigenous peoples and how have they been categorized in relation to "ethnic groups," colonization, and the international system of states? We examine current debates within the United Nations about indigenous peoples and human rights. We take a look at law and economics of colonialism and emerging issues of globalization. We explore the relationship of law and custom. Reading materials include fiction and non-fiction approaches to these themes.

January 10, 2003 Dear friends, Thanks for signing on to the letter regarding the ratification of Raposa Serra do Sol in Brazil. Unfortunately, despite our campaign and the hard work done on the ground by the Indigenous Council of Roraima, former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso did not ratify Raposa Serra do Sol before leaving office. Had Cardoso signed the ratification of RSS, celebrations in the area would have echoed across the world. We were indeed hopeful, and kept listening for those celebrations through the end of the year. There were hopeful signs: the Brazilian government itself recognized CIR for it’s work on the issue through two awards. We also learned that the government officials targeted through our campaign were receiving some 50 e-mails per hour! Unfortunately, however, the new year came and went without Cardoso signing the ratification. Tension remains high in the area, and is reaching a breaking point. The body of a Macuxi man who went missing from the community of Maturuca on January 2 nd was found this week, buried in a shallow grave. It is feared that he was murdered by a worker from a ranch in the area, which is owned by a local politician. Lack of permanent definition of RSS continues to generate and exacerbate conflicts, resulting all too often in tragedy. The time is now to resolve the situation by ratifying RSS.
