Title A name given to the resource Vol. 4, No. 1 (28).pdf PDF Text Text A Mbya family experiences the frustration of being evicted from their native homeland, in Estancia Las Golondrinas. On June 13-17, 1988, the Centro de Estudios Humanitarios (CEDUL), the Universidad Catolica, both in Paraguay and the Centro Ecumenico de Documentac;ao (CEDI), and the Centro de Trabalho Indigenista from Brazil, organized a conference in Asuncion. The purpose was to analyze the consequences of major development projects in Par~guay and Brazil. Several Indigenous Representatives attended the conference. They discussed four fundamental points: (1) In Brazil and Paraguay, the socio-cultural rights and language of the Indigenous people are not recognized nor do they have a right to be different. (2) The governments treat Indigenous land as "no man's land" and make it available for development projects, such as roads, hydroelectric plants, colonization or exploitation of the natural resources. (3) The people who are affected by these development projects are neither consulted nor photo: AINDIP incorporated in the planning process, even though such measures have drastic effects such as loss of lands, forced migrations, a deterioration of health care and social disorganization. (4) Frequently, these projects respond to national or international interests which are alien to the reality of Indigenous peoples as well as to the regional communities that are being affected by these plans. There were eleven important recommendations passed at this conference which are available upon request. In summary, the recommendations define the rights of Indigenous people to determine their destiny, including direct participation and consultation in any development projects, their right to define the criteria for land demarcations, and that any development projects consider the concepts of self-sufficiency and renovation of natural resources.

Title A name given to the resource Vol. 4, No. 1 (29).pdf PDF Text Text In 1982 the Paraguayan government started to implement the Caazapa -Project, which is an Agrodevelopment Project co-financed by. the World Bank-which contributed $31 million. Despite changes in World Bank lending policies in recent years, its projects continue to have significant impacts on native people. In 1982, the World Bank demanded of the government of Paraguay the legalization of Indian lands in the region affected by the Caazapa Project. Seven years later, most lands of 21 Indian communities of the Mbya Guarani and Ach people are still pending legalization. Instead, the government proposes smaller areas, ignoring the Indian's claims to their traditional lands. Although the Caazapa Project is supposed to benefit Indian communities as stipulated in the contract, once more economic development for private interests are in conflict with the well-being of the regional inhabitants. As a World Bank staff said: "I don't think that the current regime is going to solve the terrible conditions where Indian people are living. They are responsible for that situation: the military and some of the people in the government are control.fing the land.'' Mbya children after their families' eviction from their land, "Estancia la Golondrina," in 1987.
