home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Panama While Panama is known mostly for its famous canal, the country's natural attractions offer an irresistible lure to far-sighted travelers. Panama offers some of the finest birding, snorkeling and deep-sea fishing in the Americas. It is a proud nation that offers astounding wildlife adventures, that respects its seven indigenous peoples and that celebrates its Spanish heritage with frequent and colorful festivals. There's an inescapable feeling that you're in on a secret the rest of the traveling world has yet to discover. The country's indigenous name means 'abundance of fish', rafters can ride 20 sets of rapids in a single day, wildlife abounds in the scarcely-visited national parks, and a person can snorkel in the Caribbean Sea and swim in the Pacific Ocean...on the same day! It's no wonder the locals boast that Panama has much more to offer than nearby, traveler-soaked Costa Rica. Warning Full country name: Republic of Panama Area: 78,000 sq km (30,420 sq mi) Population: 2.8 milion (growth rate 1.3%)

Declaration of Indigenous Peoples of the Western Hemisphere Regarding the Human Genome Diversity Project We are the original peoples of the Western hemisphere of the continents of North, Central, and South America. Our principles are based upon our profound belief in the sacredness of all Creation, both animate and inanimate. We live in a reciprocal relationship with all life in this divine and natural order. Our responsibility as Indigenous Peoples is to insure the continuity of the natural order of all life is maintained for generations to come. We have a responsibility to speak for all life forms and to defend the integrity of the natural order. In carrying out these responsibilities we insure that all life in its natural process and diversity continues in a reciprocal relationship with us. We hold precious all life in its natural form. The harmonious progress of the natural order in the environment shapes and defines healthy genetic diversity. The principle of harmony requires that we do not violate the principles of Creation by manipulating and changing the natural order. Given that our natural relationship has been interfered with by foreign or non-indigenous external forces in a long history of destruction we have never abandoned those responsibilities.

Protecting What's Ours: Indigenous Peoples and Biodiversity Finally a biodiversity guidebook written for Indigenous peoples Compiled and edited by David Rothschild "We need to be part of these [scientific] projects because the knowledge that they are taking from us is from our people, from our forests" Protecting What’s Ours: Indigenous Peoples and Biodiversity is designed specifically for use by indigenous peoples and organizations. Its introductory discussion of the issues surrounding biodiversity is simultaneously accessible and comprehensive. Written in plain language from an indigenous point of view, the book explores major indigenous concerns about biodiversity. It defines and discusses bioprospecting, intellectual property rights, the Human Genome Diversity Project, and agricultural diversity. The book also overviews international instruments dealing with biodiversity and indicates how these can be potentially utilized by indigenous in the struggle to conserve biodiversity and control the commercialization of knowledge and resources. Indigenous Peoples and Biodiversity Indigenous Peoples and Biodiversity draws a clear picture for indigenous of issues and possible strategies in conserving biodiversity. It is an invaluable resource in the struggle for control and conservation of knowledge and genetic resources.

March - April The Latest from the Organization of American States Indigenous Peoples and Nation-States: A New Relationship When indigenous leaders and representatives of the governments of the Americas get together, you expect some sparks to fly. A history of dispossession and contempt toward indigenous peoples has led to lingering resentments. Fueling the confrontations are those who are interested in exploiting indigenous lands and forests. By Osvaldo Kreimer, Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. The opinions expressed are his personal views and not necessarily those of the Commission or the OAS However, a new and historic relationship is developing between indigenous people and the states. Perhaps for the first time ever, leading indigenous organizations from North, South and Central America met with representatives of the 34 nations of the Americas. (See story, this page.) The objective is to design, within the OAS, a new framework of respect that paves the way for indigenous people to become more involved in the democratic structures of government. Why now? Because in an era of globalization, indigenous peoples view the democratic state as the best guarantor of their rights. And governments view their indigenous peoples as a productive, dynamic part of political society. The end of the cold war has done away with obsolete ideas and struggles in which indigenous peoples were caught in the crossfire.

The International Movement of Indigenous Peoples: an Historical Perspective Henry Minde, note 1 The Abortive Phase note 2 note 3 The First Attempt at a Pan-Indian Organisation in the USA note 4 note 5 A series of events, however, brought an end to the indigenous peoples being able to operate as independent actors, whilst respect for the obligations of international law, as regards them, reached a low ebb. note 6 The 370 agreements that had been entered into between 1778 and 1871 were no longer recognised as being within international law. It was now believed that the political authorities were free to cancel the agreements, since what they referred to were matters within the jurisdiction of domestic law only. note 7 The first local organisation to be set up by the Indians of the USA was the Alaska Native Brotherhood founded in 1912. Remarkably this body managed to take an active negotiating role vis-a-vis industrial concerns and white bureaucrats. As a result it managed to secure finance which, amongst other things, was used to set up a fisheries organisation and to establish several local centres. As a result it was at this stage a unique phenomenon within the context of the indigenous peoples. Similar local initiatives were pursued in the 1920s, especially in Oklahoma. A common feature of many of these bodies was that after a while they began to urge their members to register as electors and to take an active part in elections by, if not voting for one of their own, at least doing so for the candidate who appeared most sympathetic to their interests. (The Indians were enfranchised in 1924.)

The group is seeking ways of formalising their participation in climate change negotiations so that the interests of indigenous peoples will be urgently addressed. Indigenous peoples who dwell on the earth's last remaining forests and other critical habitats fear dispossession. "Not only are indigenous peoples on small island states on the brink of losing their lands to sea level rise, but indigenous peoples throughout the world, particularly forest-dwellers, are in danger of losing their lands and livelihoods to proposals to plant thousands of hectares of trees to act as gigantic carbon sponges" says Clark Peteru of Western Somoa. "Mature forests will be cut down to make way for more rapid growing tree species and agricultural land will be transformed into tree plantations".

NOTICE: These pages are under development with an expected completion date of April 1, 1996. If you are a Panamanian artist or wish to suggest sources of Panamanian art, please email PanamianArt@folkart.com Embera Background and History The Embera people inhabit the Darien Gap region of Panama, an almost road less area of tropical forests and rivers reaching towards the Colombian border. This area is also inhabited by the Kuna and Wounaan indigenous peoples as well as colonists from other provinces of Panama. Parts of the Darien Gap have been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site. A National Park, as well as various indigenous Territories have been established by the Panamanian government. This area of rich human and biological resources is faced with many threats. The primary one is the proposed completion of the Pan-American Highway which would join Panama and Colombian by crossing through what is presently a road less and ecologically well- preserved region and traditional home to at least three major indigenous peoples. The areas of the Darien that have already been penetrated by roads have been logged by large corporations and otherwise degraded by slash and burn farmers and cattle ranchers driven to the area by desertification of their own parts of the country. Indigenous groups living near the highway have seen their traditional culture endangered by ecological destruction and the onslaught of the "modern" world. The indigenous peoples of the area are gathering strength in order to protect their traditional homelands and deal from a position of power with the government of Panama, intruders from other provinces of Panama, and foreign commercial interests that threaten them.

Panama - Culture Overview Such applied arts as woodcarving, pottery, and textiles command the most acclaim in modern Panamanian culture. The Kuna of San Blas are famed for the mola, a multilayered, hand-stitched appliqué textile made by Kuna women. Panama's national costume is the pollera, an intricate lace dress made in the Peninsula de Azuero. Masks made in this Pacific region are considered esteemed works of art as well. Music and dance are also vital areas of the arts in Panama, and in Panama City the Teatro Nacional and Teatro la Cu'pula present an array of events. Some hotels in the city offer performances of traditional dance as well.

- Central America/Mexico - Statement by Mexican human rights and social organizations issued September 6, shortly after learning the Supreme Court’s decision Supreme Court of Mexico upholds flawed law on indigenous rights “It seems that the humiliation that we have suffered for five hundred years is not enough... Many things have happened to offend and humiliate us. The Supreme Court’s rejection leaves us deeply worried and on the edge of despair” - Indigenous leader Amador Cortés Robledo, upon hearing of the decision of the Supreme Court of Mexico upholding the constitutionality of the law on indigenous rights passed by the Mexican Congress in 2001. By Karen Rothschild The law on indigenous rights has been the subject of 320 legal complaints presented to the Mexico Supreme Court by local government authorities from indigenous municipalities in Oaxaca and other states. These legal challenges focused on the process through which Congress had passed the law - particularly the lack of consultation with those most affected, the indigenous peoples of Mexico. (The principal international agreement protecting the rights of indigenous peoples, Article 20 of ILO Covenant 169, stipulates that indigenous peoples have the “right to participate fully ... in devising legislative ...measures that may affect them”) They also pointed out a number of anomalies in how state legislatures voted on the constitutional reform.
