Capacity Building and Training
The Nawa Institute goal is to provide capacity building to grassroots indigenous communities in different areas of communications to preserve and protect indigenous knowledge, ancestral traditions, and their environment as well as to ensure their self- determination and human rights. Born of the necessities of the indigenous peoples, interculturally differentiated training is an alternative form of education that respects and re-enforces traditional knowledge and cultural identity. The concept of interculturally differentiated training refers to the respect and appreciation for the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples and underpins the methodology of the program. Public education in the cases of many of these countries does not reach indigenous communities and when it does arrive, it imposes a foreign form of education which fails to take into account the language, and cultural idiosyncrasies of its students and thus contributes to the cultural extermination of indigenous nations. Training Course
Impart skills in different areas through interculturally differentiated training in distinct areas of communication to indigenous communities and grass-roots organizations until the representatives of these communities become proficient in the in the use of different communications media.

Indigenous Peoples I. Awareness of the Rio Agreements 1) Achievements In the Southern Cone, with the exception of a few countries, there is a lack of awareness of the Rio Agreements, especially within community organizations. However, some achievements have been made in the implementation of said accords. Indigenous Peoples, for example, have developed a number of activities regarding sustainability. 2) Outcomes The following outcomes are the result of a number of indigenous organizations' efforts:
  • Land delimitation.
  • Strategy studies, with regards to the autonomous development of Indigenous Peoples, prepared by COICA in the Amazonian basin.
  • The creation of a park in the Guarani area, which includes regions in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay and it is managed by Guarani Peoples.
3) Hindrances Due to the lack of political will, although national governments have signed the agreements, in reality, they have not implemented them. These agreements have not been disseminated efficiently either, and there are no commitments with Indigenous Peoples. 4) Principles and Values Philosophy, ethics, morality and indigenous structures and organizations.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Following this historic act, the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."
http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html
On the Human Rights Day of 1992, the General Assembly of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) launched 1993 as the year of the World’s Indigenous People . The theme chosen for the International Year was “Indigenous People—a new partnership.”
Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the Secretary General of the United Nations explains why the International Year of the World’s Indigenous People was launched on Human Rights Day:
Many of the 300 million indigenous people in the world face social and economic disadvantage in the societies in which they live. In the past, some of the world’s worst violations of human rights have been perpetrated against indigenous people. Today, indigenous people are often among the poorest, worst housed, and least paid. They usually have less access to

A. Issue 2: strategies for choosing among data-collection methods
In the last decades, which have been characterized by the globalization of the economy, new issues have appeared that are difficult to capture in a conventional census. Therefore, the census is an inadequate tool to fully capture and to monitor the extent of some changes. This produces a true “hiatus” between social and statistical realities that can be solved only by redefining the census and adopting improved strategies to accompany the census. The pressure from minorities (indigenous and disabled people) to know their total number, characteristics and location in the territory in order to defend their fundamental rights leads to increasing requirements for information from censuses. For this reason, during the planning of the next census of population (October 2001), the national office of statistics (INDEC) in Argentina has undertaken diverse activities together with public and private users that intend to expand information on the topics mentioned above. On the one hand, strategies to improve the validity of the results and to make some aspects of the “social” reality more statistically “real” are being developed. On the other hand, methodologies to understand phenomena of a very complex nature that have not been properly captured in censuses are being studied and tested. Special groups include the disabled population, indigenous peoples and the population of international migrants, particularly those from neighbouring countries.

Proposals for Monitoring the Paraguay-Parana Hidrovia project
500 years have passed since the first Europeans arrived to our lands. Since the beginning of this era, we were decimated, and massacred. They have tried to exterminate us, or to integrate us totally into non-indigenous society here. We indigenous peoples ask that, from now on, a new era may begin, so that for the next 500 years indigenous peoples may be respected, and effectively consulted, our wishes and needs taken into account when any actions are planned which affect our lands.. Discrimination against indigenous peoples must end. It must be definitively established that we indigenous peoples are human beings and we have the right to live in agreement with our own cultural understanding. We are part of the natural world of this earth. We have therefore the right to fully participate in any plan drawn up which affects our use of our lands. The Hidrovia Paraguay-Parana project, proposed by the five governments of the region of the La Plata Basin, is like a giant monster which threatens the indigenous peoples of the region.

A very good place to start,
When you read, you begin with A, B, C,
When you sing, you begin with Do, Re, Mi."
Questions for Reflection as you read:
  • Who first inhabited the areas in which we now live?
  • What is known of these people?
  • Is their culture still extant?
  • How can we understand the 'interconnectedness of all creation' in the light of each of our localities' relationship with its indigenous people?
ARGENTINA

Santiago del Estero, in common with the other provinces of northwestern Argentina, has a rich indigenous heritage. The history of its Native culture can be traced by its pottery and weaving. When the Spanish arrived in Santiago del Estero, the Guaycurues lived in the north and eastern part, the Santiagueanan prairies. To the south and west of the prairies lived the Tonocotes, the Lulues and the Vilelas. In the south and west of the province lived the Sanavirones and the Diaguitas. The Tonocotes cultivated maize, beans and squash. They collected the fruits of the local trees, the algarroba, the chanar and the mistol. They also ate honey from wild bees. The Tonocotes raised two different kinds of llamas, vicunas and guanacos, as well as ostriches.They wove shawls from the wool of the vicuna. The men wore feathers attached to their waists. From this custom came their nickname "Suris" because this is another name for the ostrich. The women wore two shawls, one around the waist and another around the shoulders. Their weapons were the bow and arrow, the club and lariat with balls attached. The latter is still used to round up cattle.

Meaning of UN Decade of Indigenous Peoples
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES: Will U.N. Honour Be Mere Lip Service?
By Diego Cevallos MEXICO CITY, Jan 26, 1995 - The United Nations International Decade of Indigenous Peoples will depend more on the ongoing struggle of native organisations than governments' participation, according to Nobel Peace Prizewinner Rigoberta Menchu. The Guatemalan indigenous leader said, ''we will demonstrate that we are flourishing cultures, and are changing the 'cultural pollution' we are submitted to and the image of backwardness and poverty that has been thrust upon us.'' The United Nations proclaimed the ''International Decade of the Indigenous Peoples of the World'' on Dec. 10, calling on governments to address the problems of native populations. "It was not increased government awareness that led to the declaration of the decade, but rather action and campaigns by the indigenous peoples themselves. Governments are not interested, and this must be acknowledged," Menchu said. She explained that the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, Mexico, a campaign against an agrarian law in Ecuador and native protests in Bolivia were responsible for raising the profile of indigenous issues.

South America "In the Andes, Nurturance is at the Very Heart of Life"
(Land of the Inkas)
The indigenous peoples (aboriginal peoples) of South America are found from the Isthmus of Panama to Tierra del Fuego. An estimated 30 million people were living there when the Europeans arrived. In the Andean region extensive remains show developed cultures at Chavín de Huántar and among the Paracas in Peru. The Mochica, Chimu, and Nazca in Peru, the Chibcha and Aymara of the Andes, and the Araucanos and Mapuche
of Chile had socially complex pre-Columbian cultures, surpassed only by the Inca. Descendants of these peoples live today in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northwestern Argentina, and Chile. Quechua , spoken by the Inca, is the most widely spoken language in South America. Since the Spanish conquest indigenous peoples have been used as laborers, poorly paid and lacking political representation; these conditions of semiservitude are changing slowly. Some, notably the Inca, play a significant role in the national culture; but many live in small, peripheral groups. A few descendants of the Arawaks and Caribs live in Venezuela, the Guianas, and Northern Brazil. The Guaraní in Brazil are few and scattered, but in Paraguay their language is widely spoken and, like Quechua in Bolivia, is the official language of the country.
