As a traditional Mapuche singer, and as one of the founders of the Mapuche Cultural Centers and AD-MAPU, she had much to say regarding her people's history and current concerns, including the following comments made on SAIIC's monthly radio program. "We, the Mapuche people, are a nation, a nation within the Chilean nation. Speaking historically about our Mapuche nation, before the Spanish arrived we had a nomadic way of life. Our nation covered an area consisting of 32 million hectares. It extended from what is now the city of Copiapo to the Gulf of Reloncavi, This means that the Mapuches were able to move freely from north to south and east to west, from ocean to ocean. "When the conquerors came, we had to fight a war, to fight 300 years of war, a cruel and bloody war. The men had to go to fight, to defend their land, to defend the liberty of their people. "After those 300 years of war, after the Republic of Chile was established in 1810, the Mapuches have had to continue to struggle stronger and more permanently. They have had to struggle against the laws imposed on them, against the pacts and agreements that were made to maintain these laws. Their lands became "In ~ny case, with or without laws, Mapuche land was seized. smaller L':>dl reducciones (reserves) were formed in different parts of the Chilean Sofia Painiqueo in Berkeley with Lisa Yankton.

"Under all the governments, though, we as Mapuches have been organized. But, sadly, no government has listened to us. We have fought continually and permanently for our rights to land and to be allowed to participate under the Chilean constitution. "During our 400 years of struggle, there has only been one exception in which we did participate in a government. This was under the Allende government. This was a popular government, a democratic government. This is how the Mapuche people managed to make their own law. This is law 17,729, which deals with the defense of Indian land, or rather dealt, as it no longer exists. "I also want to make something clear to avoid misunderstandings when I say that Allende 'gave' land to Indians in Chile. For us, the Mapuche, no government alien to an aboriginal people in the American continent has the right to give the land to Indians. The lands have always been ours; they always will be ours. We want nations in general to recognize that they live on Indian land, and they must respect Indians. "After the Allende government came the coup. This is how our country fell under the rule of the military general, the current president, General Pinochet. This is also how law 2,568 was written and imposed on the Mapuche people. This law deals with the division of Indian lands. According to the government, this is the best law written for the Mapuches during their 400 years of struggle. For us, the Mapuches, this is the worst law. "We have seen and are seeing the division of land, and personal titles of domain are being given. This makes [individual] Mapuches owners of their own lands. This law also states that those who wish to no longer be Mapuches may do so legally by changing their last name. And that's it. They are no longer Mapuche. For us, at the moment, our communities are divided. We cease to be Mapuches, even without changing our names. It would no Divided, our forms of work and organization would no longer be the same. longer be communal. There would not be a form of organization to defend our land in a united way. Each will fight for his or her own little piece of land. "Where before we lived on a land covering 32 million hectares, today, with the division of the communities, we would not have more than three to four hectares per Mapuche family and each Mapuche family has 8 to 12 or more members. Where are we going to work, to produce, to raise animals? "We think that due to the current economic situation facing Chile, we will not be able to pay our taxes, so within five to ten years, we will lose our lands. And we, the Mapuches will automatically be left without land. This means extermination of the Mapuche people. We will be left without land and will have to begin working for the big landholders in order to survive as individuals, no longer as Mapuches. "We, the Mapuches, have existed by having land. And we will continue to exist if we have land. That is why the most important part of our Vol. 1, no. 4. Spring, 1985. Published by SAIIC. @ 1985.

With the recent transition to civilian government after twentyone years of military rule in Brazil, there has been hope in Indian communities that administrators sympathetic to Indian concerns would be appointed to FUNAI, the government department for Indian affairs. However, according to the latest issue of Poratim (subscription $15; send a bank order to CIMI/PORATIM, Edificio Venancio III, Sala 310, Caixa Postal 11-1159, CEP 70084, Brasilia, OF, Brasil), it now appears that an accountant who rose through the FUNAI bureaucracy during military rule will occupy the top position in the agency for the immediate future. Poratim suggests this reflects both the priorities of FUNAI, 75% of whose budget is consumed by the salaries of the agency's employees, as well as the slow pace of change that can be expected from the new government. Another important issue on the horizon in Brazil is the apportionment of seats in the assembly which is to be elected next year to write a new constitution.

Poratim also reports that 14 Indian groups have occupied a site in the state of Mato Grosso to block construction of a hydroelectric dam which will destroy a sacred waterfall of the Kayabi people. Work on the project began in 1983 with the construction of a road to the remote area on the Peixe River and barracks for some 3,000 workers who will build the dam. In 1984 preparation work was halted by lack of funds, and in March, 1985, Indians occupied the site in anticipation of renewed funding. They have expelled the caretaker left by the construction company, barricaded the road to the site, and burned one of the barracks. A commission has been established by the federal government to consider the Indians' demands, which include a permanent halt to construction of the dam, repeal of the law authorizing construction, and addition of the area around the waterfall to the officially-recognized domain of the Kayabi people. The Kayabi and neighboring Apiaka people have resisted encroachment by non-Indians at least since the arrival of rubber prospectors in the early twentieth century. About half the Kayabi were relocated to the large Xingu reserve in the mid-1960s. Representatives of the relocated group joined in the occupation of the construction site and expressed their desire to return to their traditional home. The dam will generate electricity for three small non-Indian settlements. Indians have suggested that a larger waterfall downriver from the Kayabi falls on a farm belonging to the governor of Mato Grosso would be a more appropriate site for the dam. The Jornal Indigena (Rua Caiubi, 126; Perdizes 05010; Sao Paulo, S.P., Brasil), which is published by the Union of Indigenous Nations (Uniao das Nacoes Indigenas), also reports extensively on Indian groups in Brazil.

The armies of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay invaded Paraguay, defeated the Paraguayan army, killed Solano Lopez, and took a large portion of Paraguayan territory.

The sacred books (codices), the knowledge of our people, accumulated for thousands of years, were destroyed by fire, and by the incredible capacity for destruction by the colonials. All of those Indians involved in communication: priests, teachers, writers, translators, ambassadors and those in the theater, all were assassinated. From this time, the destruction of our religion and our books and our writers has denied our existence; our voices have been quieted and are only heard in our communities and dressed as "myths" and "legends." During the past 500 years, from the beginning of this massive genocide of Indians for the control of the land, this process continued. Our existence continues to be denied and our lands are taken through massive assassinations. This process continues as the order of the day. Nevertheless, almost nothing is mentioned in major communication networks (radio, television, film) nationally or internationally. In the name of the plan of nation states, the aggression and the silence continue. Our Indian nations are alive, although often cut into pieces by the borders of the nations formed by the colonials. Our goal as Indian people is to break the silence of communcation within the countries that our Indian communities have existed since the beginning. SAIIC and the Comision de Relaciones de Asemblea de Autoridades Zapotecos-Chinontecas de la Sierra consider it necessary to reestablish communication among our Indian people, to know ourselves, and make ourselves known. Therefore, we propose to independent, non-government Indian organizations the following: 1) Create diverse means of communication among Indian communities; 2) Develop an interchange of information among the organizations that have initiated the process; 3) Develop the means of communication that currently exist in order to gain better diffusion among Indian people in sharing our experience; 4) Develop our traditional forms of communication and strengthen those that now exist; 5) Initiate investigation as to the most effective means of transmitting information that our people need (libraries, film and video archives); 6) Move ahead with discussion among non-Indian support organizations and stregnthen our relations on a level of mutual and profound respect.

Recent Congressional hearings in Washington have questioned the World Bank's commitment toward controlling environmental damage and invasions of indigenous peoples' lands in the Polonoroeste area. The United States government plays an important role in deciding World Bank lending policies by virtue of the fact that it holds 20% of the shares of the Bank. International concern centers around a new road being built into the Guapore Valley, in Rondonia where the Brazilian government has plans to settle 10,000 migrant families with an even larger wave of spontaneous migration expected to follow. This will threaten several reserve areas, including two Indian Parks, and the territories of the Uru-eu-wau-wau and Urupa-in Indians.
