Extractions: A long with numerous nomadic tribespeople, two main indigenous groups existed in Argentina before the European arrival. In the northwest, near Bolivia and the Andes, was a people known as the Diaguita, while further south and to the east were the Guarani. Together the Diaguita and the Guarani constitute the origins of permanent agricultural civilization in Argentina, both developing the cultivation of maize. The Diaguita are also remembered for having successfully prevented the powerful Inca from expanding their empire into Argentina from what is now Bolivia. It was perhaps a legacy of this successful resistance that enabled the native peoples of Argentina to carry on a prolonged campaign against colonization and rule by the Spanish. The first Spaniard to land in Argentina, Juan de Solis, was killed in 1516, and several attempts to found Buenos Aires were stymied by the local inhabitants. Inland cities were more successful, and it wasn't until the late 16th century that Buenos Aires was securely established. Despite its military success, indigenous resistance was inexorably weakened by the introduction of diseases from Europe. Even after the native threat became minimal, however, Argentina was still mostly neglected by Spain, which was more interested in developing Lima and the riches of Peru. Buenos Aires was forbidden to trade with foreign countries, and the city became a smuggler's haunt. The restrictive trade
Extractions: Fifty-sixth General Assembly Third Committee th Meeting (AM) Although the new Permanent Forum for Indigenous Peoples was a welcome addition to the United Nations structure that would ensure that indigenous populations had their views heard within the system, certain commitments were needed to make it work effectively, several countries with significant indigenous populations told the Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) this morning. It was imperative for the financing of the Forum, some speakers said, to come from a stable revenue stream, like the United Nations' regular budget, to assure the smooth operation of the Forum. The debate came as the Committee wrapped up two days of discussion surrounding the programme of activities of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People.

A Spanish version of the Amicus Brief is currently being translated by CEDHA. A Spanish version of this press release is also available. The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) and the Center for Human Rights and Environment (CEDHA) filed an amicus brief (or "friend of the court" brief) at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on behalf of the Wichi and four other indigenous communities in northern Argentina. The brief asks the Commission to grant precautionary measures to halt further development until the government of Argentina prepares an environmental impact assessment and consults with the indigenous peoples threatened by the development. The Wichi and other indigenous communities also have asked the Commission to enforce Argentinas promise to honor their land claims. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for October 12 th in Washington, DC.

Extractions: por Eulogio Frites El derecho indígena es el conjunto de normas propias, que regulan la conducta y el desarrollo armónico de la vida de las Comunidades de los Pueblos Indígenas. Su esencia es el derecho consuetudinario, enriquecido con normas del derecho positivo de los Estados que se le incorporen receptando normas sobre los territorios indígenas, cosmovisión pensamiento religioso y filosófico de los Pueblos Indígenas-, su pluriculturalidad, sus personerías jurídicas, sus organizaciones comunitarias locales, nacionales e internacionales, etc. EL DERECHO CONSUETUDINARIO Es el conjunto de normas basadas en la costumbre de cada comunidad de los pueblos indígenas. Son normas morales y materiales con las que se administra las actividades comunitarias a través del tiempo. Los Pueblos Indígenas de Argentina, por ejemplo, lo vienen practicando desde siempre. Estas normas de tipo administrativo, civil, penal y religioso, han permitido mantener la identidad cultural y sus derechos materiales y espirituales, como conservar la tierra o territorio, su cosmovisión y conciencia indígena, resistiendo la destrucción de la personalidad indígena por parte de los grupos dominantes que proceden de la Colonia Española y de los Estados Republicanos. Ante la coexistencia de un orden jurídico nacional y otros ordenes jurídicos consuetudinarios que rigen la vida de los Pueblos Indígenas, MARTINEZ COBO recomienda: Que: a) Se respeten los órdenes jurídicos indígenas y se admita la existencia de un pluralismo jurídico sin preeminencias injustificadas de parte del sistema jurídico nacional; b) Se acepten los criterios del fuero personal y de consideraciones geográfico-demográficas para la aplicación de los SISTEMAS JURIDICOS existentes, según corresponda a las circunstancias; c) Se definan los caminos del pluralismo jurídico y se delimiten espacios culturales en los que no debe interferir el orden jurídico nacional, y de definan también aquellos aspectos que inevitablemente deban quedar regidos por el orden jurídico nacional, en la medida en que se refieren a la vigencia de valores y derechos considerados internacionalmente en la actualidad como fundamentales e indispensables a la vida contemporánea en sociedad..."

Vysledkem je ztrata moznosti obzivy techto lidi, kteri jsou na sve zemi bezprostredne zavisli. 'Nase zeme je mrtva a my umirame hladem,' rekl nedavno jeden z nich. Dva pripady z posledni doby jsou obzvlast kriklave: 1) Tricet pet indianskych obci u paraguayskych hranic pobliz reky Pilcomayo se v roce 1991 spojily ve sdruzeni Lhaka Honhat (Nase zeme), aby ziskaly zpet alespon male procento svych lesu a savan. V poslednim stoleti byla vetsina lesu vykacena tezarskymi firmami, velkou cast pudy okupuji dobytkari, jejichz dobytek navic nici urodu v indianskych zahradach a znecistuje jejich cenne vodni zdroje. Indiani pozaduji, aby byla zeme po predcich (oficialne oznacena jako statni pozemky 55 a 14) vracena vcelku celemu sdruzeni petatriceti vesnic. Pravo mluvi v jejich prospech, presto provincni vlada, ktera nedavno postavila v centru indianskeho uzemi most (soucast udajne budouci mezinarodni dalnice), predava dalsi indianskou pudu kolonizatorum a nekolika jednotlivym favorizovanym indianskym rodinam. 2) Dalsi komunita Indianu Wichi zivori 80 km na jihozapad, u reky Itiyuro. (Jeji koryto je vyschle od te doby, co na hornim toku postavily urady prehradu.) Na rozdil od uzemi Lhaka Honhat, kde pozemky oficialne patri statu, jsou jejich tradicni uzemi v soukromych rukou, jinak je vsak situace podobna: velka cast lesu se rychle meni v intenzivne obhospodarovane farmy, letecky osetrovane herbicidy a pesticidy. V roce 1999 se sest mistnich obci spojilo pod nazvem Lhakatayni (Nas les). V zari 1999 sdruzeni Nas les podalo argentinskemu parlamentu navrh zakona, ktery by vyvlastnil 2 900 ha uzemi kolem obce Hoktek T'oi - pouha 4% puvodniho uzemi, patriciho k vesnici. Dosavadni majitel uzemi zije v 2000 km vzdalenem Buenos Aires. Provincni vlada na tento krok Wichi reagovala tim, ze prikyvla k dalsimu odlesnovani spornych pozemku, coz je krok protipravni jak z hlediska celostatnich zakonu, tak z hlediska mistniho provincniho prava.

Extractions: INDIGENOUS If now I sit once more for a brief quarter hour on the parapet of the bridge from which as a child I dangled my fishing line a thousand times, I am powerfully gripped by an awareness of how beautiful and remarkable was the experience of possessing a place to call my own. Just once to have known in one small corner of the globe each house and every window in them, and every person behind each window! Just once to have felt inseparable from a particular corner of the world, much as a tree is bound by its roots to its own particular spot. Herman Hesse The ahatai [settlers] have always coveted Llakha Honhat [Our Land], and they have used deceit and violence in order to take it from us. ... They did not plant the trees; they do not keep the bees; the wild animals and fish do not belong to them. ... We have always lived here, since the time of creation we are as much a part of Llakha Honhat as the trees that grow on it. Our land belongs to us because we belong to the land. Oral History of the Wichi Indians (Northern Argentina) Our roots are deep in the lands where we live. We have a great love for our country, for our birthplace is here. The soil is rich from the bones of thousands of our generations. Each of us was created in these lands and it is our duty to take care of them, because from these lands will spring the future generations of our peoples. We will walk about with great respect for the Earth, for it is a very Sacred Place.

Extractions: Argentina: the struggle of the Kolla people The "yungas" are forest lands that spread along the Andes from northern Argentina to Venezuela, and from an altitude of 500 to 3,000 metres, according to their latitude. From the floristic point of view they belong to the Amazonian Domaine and their typical formation is the so called misty forest. These montain forests maintain high levels of endemism and biodiversity, but they are being threatened by increasing deforestation, especially for crop production. A similar case of conflict is that of the Kolla communities of San Andres, Santa Cruz and Angosto de Parani in the department of Oran who are fighting for the ownership of San Andres Estate. In 1986 San Martin del Tabacal -that became a susidiary of the American company Seabord Corporation- donated those lands to the province of Salta to be handed over to the Kolla. Nevertheless, this was never realized and still in January 1997 the company continued to exploit forests under a special authorization from the Government of Salta. The indigenous communities, as well as Greenpeace Argentina, have denounced this exploitation as unsustainable. To face these abuses, the Kolla communities have sued the company for damages and reclaim the effective expropriation of the estate. Source: WRM's bulletin Nº 5, October 1997

Extractions: 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.
