The menace to Indian land and culture has been clear to the Loreto Runa since the discovery of oil in the Ecuadorian Amazon in the 1970's. Neighboring Archidona Runa living in the center of development were the first to lose their lands and can no longer obtain sufficient food from their reduced resource base. Pressure on Loreto Runa land is more recent, dating from the construction of the Loreto-Coca road in 1981-83. In response, the Loreto Runa have organized with other native communities to try to obtain title to their land. Between 1982 and 1984 the San Jose Runa cleared surveyor's lines in accordance with national law that allows them to determine their traditional boundaries. However, since 1984 no land titles have been granted to Indian communities. Instead, in mid-1984 a forest reserve of 11,000 hectares was established by the government in the Loreto area and declared to be "empty of all human settlement." Right to use the forest reserve was to be awarded to African palm oil enterprises. Although the "conservation zones" were rescinded in May, 1985, pressure on the Loreto area continues. The Confederation of Indian Nations in the Ecuadorian Amazon (CONFENIAE) states that the government, multinationals, and large firms are working together to usurp Indian land (see SAIIC Newsletter, Summer, 1986, p. 8). In September, 1985, IERAC, the national land-granting agency, designated 60,000 hectares between the Napo and Aguarico Rivers to multinationals for the cultivation of African palm oil. British Petroleum was awarded a concession of 200,000 hectares in the Loreto area, and in February, 1986, IERAC announced a major new colonization project of 120,000 hectares along the Loreto-Coca road, an area where the company Plywood has been harvesting lumber for several years. Amanecer Indio, the publication of CONFENIAE, reECUADOR ports that the Indian federation FOIN conducted courses Aguarico River to prepare the Loreta Runa to defend themselves. Delegates from 20 Runa communities ., Quito have met to develop plans to legalize community land. -Nickie Irvine Nickie Irvine and Ellen Speiser are making a film that features a community in the Loreto area of Ecuador. It focuses on Indian knowledge of natural resources which permits sustainable use of the rainforest. For more information, call (415) 826-8432. Page 12 Loreto., Amazon Basin Vol. 3, no. 1. Fall, 1986. �Sources in Ecuador also report the following developments there: CONFENIAE reports that many Indians are working on the African palm plantations because their traditional sources of livelihood have been destroyed. Wages on the plantations are low and efforts to organize a union have been blocked by police. The community Corazon del Oriente near the Huashito River (northwest of Coca) has encountered thousands of dead fish killed by pesticides dumped into the river by an African palm plantation. According to CONFENIAE, for every hectare of rainforest land cleared for palm plantations, approximately 94,000 plants are destroyed. It is estimated that one million trees are being cut daily in the Amazon. Attacks on Indian communities in Ecuador are not limited to the Napo region. The Confederation of Indian Nations of Ecuador (Confederaci6n de N acionalidades Indigenas del Ecuador, CONACNIE) has charged that on September 1 the Shuar Runa from Loreto area of Ecuador. community of Kukush was invaded by homesteaders. One person was killed and three were injured. In March, local authorities and military and civil police forcibly removed Indian families, including children and elders, from their homes at Centro Shuar Washikiat. Seven homes were destroyed there. The critical situation for Indian people in Ecuador becomes even more complex as the government attempts to create confusion and diffuse the focus of Indian action by creating "official" Indian organizations which have no grassroots support in Indian communities. President Leon Febres Cordero and the ministry of education have also authorized the return of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, an evangelical group that was expelled by a previous government. According to CONFENIAE, SIL works to undermine Indian cultures, impose capitalist values, destroy Indian organizations, and co-opt Indians, such as those who are trained as technicians and then contribute to the destruction of the Amazon environment. The external debt and the reduced price of oil have intensified the crisis which confronts Indian people as well as the rest of Ecuadorian society. The Ecuadorian Front for Human Rights indicates that of a total population of 8 million people, there are more than 350,000 unemployed. At least 1,200,000 other people barely subsist with minimal employment and live in extreme poverty. Inequality in the distribution of income is dramatic. The poorest 40 percent of the population receive only 13.3% of the gross national product, while the wealthiest 1.6 per cent receive 12 percent.

Communities with titles are then officially recognized as comunidades campesinas in the Andean highlands and along the Pacific coast or as comunidades nativas in the jungle areas east of the Andes. There are currently more than 4,000 such communities in Peru. There are also many Indian communities which have continual and habitual long-term use of their ancestral lands but which for a variety of reasons do not hold legal titles. Some communities are not recognized by the Peruvian government, others choose not to give the national government the authority to determine what always has been and always will be theirs, and others are too isolated geographically to actively participate within the national government's political or judicial spheres. Ideally, communal land titles provide guarantees that protect the community from external threats to their land and that officially recognize on-going rights to function as an Indian community. However, in reality many communities face severe pressure from interests who wish to displace them, such as large landowners, mining companies, and lumber companies. Authorities from the national government often collaborate with those seeking to usurp Indian land. Energies of many communities are tied up for years with bureaucratic processes for establishing and maintaining title to their land. The region of Oxapampa, east of Lima, has been a major corridor of access for development in the Peruvian jungle. Indian communities in the area experience extreme stress in maintaining their land. A major road which cuts into the area is bringing increasing numbers of colonos or homesteaders who are lured by the prospects of what mistakenly seems or may even officially be termed "unoccupied land." Ironically, many of the homesteaders are also Indian people, Quechua speakers who have been forced off their land in the mountains. For the highlanders, the major options are to migrate to the urban centers along the coast or try to continue farming by moving to the frontier towns of the jungle. A study completed in July, 1986, by the Center for Amazon Research and Development (CIPA, Centro de Investigaci6n y Promoci6n Amazonica, Av. Ricardo Palma 666-D, Miraflores, Lima 18, Peru) documents the long and vigorous struggle of the Yanesha Indians of the Comunidad Nativa Tsachopen near the town of Oxapampa to maintain rights to their land. In 1884 the Peruvian government granted the Catholic Page 14 Vol. 3, no. 1. Fall, 1986. �church rights to establish a mission in the area and to function in a hazily defined role as "protector" of the Indians. The Yanesha have also been threatened by homesteaders and the Summer Institute of Linguistics, an evangelical organization. After intense effort by the Y anesha, they received title to their land in 1976. But the title was annulled in 1981 as a result of strong pressure from the Catholic church, according to the CIP A documentation. Since then tensions have increased in the area as homesteaders have attempted to invade Yanesha land. In 1982, the Comunidad Nativa Tsachopen filed a court document called an acci6n de amparo which should provide immediate judicial protection against violation of constitutional rights. But for four years technically illegal judicial tactics have blocked consideration of the petition and violations of Y anesha land rights continue. CIPA states that it "has protested this grave situation to the Peruvian government, demanding effective intervention of judicial, administrative, and church authorities to reinstate territorial rights to these Indian people of the Amazon who have now been displaced." Comunidad Native Tsachopen also makes an urgent call to national and international public opinion to lend support. They request that letters be sent to the following officials and that copies of the letters and any responses to the letters be sent to CIP A: Dr. Alan Garcia Perez, Presidente de la Republica, Palacio de Gobierno, Lima, Peru. Senor Ministro de Justicia, Ministerio de Justicia, Lima, Peru. Monseftor Luis Barbaren, Conferencia Episcopal de Acci6n Social, Rio de Janeiro 488, Jesus Maria, Lima 11, Peru. MEXICO Weavers iscuss Origins Designs Zacarias Ruiz Hernandez and Emilia Gonzales de Ruiz, Zapotec weavers from the town of Teotitlan de Valle, near Oaxaca, were in the San Francisco Bay Area for the month of July. They sold their weavings and gave demonstrations of weaving techniques. During a conversation with SAIIC, Zacarias made the following comments. I started to weave in 1958. My parents taught me. It is one of the jobs of parents to teach the children to weave. Already one of our sons and our daughter weave. The tradition comes to us through our ancestors. Some designs, such as "flor de Oaxaca" have been used for many, many years. Designs like this are from the area. Also people are now interested in using the designs from the ruins at Mitla and Monti Alban. People who buy weavings are interested in these designs. Other designs I use are my own. Now there is a rebirth of weaving using natural colors and dyes. People are asking their grandparents about the natural dyes that hadn't been used for a generation.

In addition, the commission on refugees and migrant workers resolved that the United States government should discontinue the abuse of refugees and migrant workers as well as the manipulation of the situation of said peoples for its own political and economic motives.

SAIIC Newsletter Begins ird Year With this issue, the SAIIC Newsletter begins its third year of publication. Two years ago the first issue was a legal-sized sheet of paper photocopied on both sides. As contributions of time, money, and information have come from all corners of North, Central, and South America, both the content and our form of presentation have grown considerably. We want to thank the many people who have worked together to give this newsletter its unique character. We plan to continue publishing an always-improving newsletter which brings information on South and Central America from an Indian perspective and which promotes unity among all Indians of the Americas. With the next issue (Winter, 1987) we will be increasing the subscription rate to $8.00 per year. So subscribe now at the $6.00 rate. This increase is necessary to keep up with printing and mailing costs. But we also want to be sure that the Newsletter is available to all who want to read it. If you are imprisoned or otherwise do not have the money for a subscription, please let us know and we'll be sure you receive your copy. Otherwise, we need paid subscriptions from you and your friends! Please subscribe. It helps us to continue along this road. There are other ways you can help us, too. Please send material for publication or suggestions that will help improve the Newsletter. We are also looking for a more creative name than "Newsletter" but so far haven't come up with the right one. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated. The Newsletter operates on a shoestring budget. With a press run which has reached 2,000, the shoestring is getting Page 18 Vol. 3, no. 1. Fall, 1986. �thinner and thinner.
