Pedro was leaving on a trip to Lima, the country's capital, to organize a union meeting. According to FECONAYA, Pedro's disappearance may have been caused by conflicting interests in the area. ''The Yanesha people are continuously being hassled by farmers, timber companies, businesses, government officials, and recently by a new religious sect-the Israelian Church of the New Universal Pact, accusing the Indian leaders of drug dealing and terrorism."

Title A name given to the resource Vol. 4, No. 1 (22).pdf PDF Text Text Government expansioni~t policies continue to threaten Indian lands in the Ecuadorian Amazon~ Land has been expropriated for African. palm cultivation and oil exploration. Areas which have traditionally been Indian territories have been declared "tierras baldias," or vacant lands, thus allowing for colonization and exploitation. The Ecuadorian Institute of Agrarian Reform and Colonization (IERAC) has declared all Amazon land as "vacant" despite the fact that their own representative in the Amazonian Coca region has testified that there are no vacant lands in his jurisdiction. At the same time Siona and Secoya Indians have found that lands for which they were in the process of obtaining legal title have been erased from the maps of the IERAC and preliminary work for the establishment of palm plantations has been undertaken in that same territory. An additional result of the IERAC's declaration that "in the Ecuadorian Oriente (Amazon) there is land for anyone willing to work it" has been a. wave of migration of landless peasants to that region. The situation has aggravated ethnic tensions and has led to land invasions and, at times, armed hostilities. Since 1983 the area of the Ecuadorian Aillazon open to oil exploration and extraction has more than doubled and now includes majorcenters of indigenous settlement. On May 4,1987, the Ecuadorian State Petroleum Corporation·( CEPE) signed a contract with a consortium of oil companies to explore and exploit petroleum in an area greater than 650 square miles in the central Ecuadorian Amazon which is presently inhabited by the Huoarani Indians. CONFENIAE, the Confederation of Amazonian Indian Federations in Ecuador pointed out that the invasion of Huoarani territory by the oil companies is part of a larger pattern in which the present government is delivering Indian land to multinational corporations, colonization, and petroleum interests. CEPE has awarded seven concessions for oil exploration in more than 4,500 square miles of the Ecuadorian Amazon to petroleum companies or consortiums. As a result oil workers have expanded onto Indian territory on a scale not experienced before. They are cutting exploration paths on lands inhabited by Runa and Hwiarani, and building access roads when oil is discovered. Less than half of the Runa communities have land title, and the threat of colonization and land invasion presented by the above-mentioned policy of declaring Amazonian land "vacant' is increased when roads are b11ilt into their territory. In response, Indian organizations have begun a· program of demarcating their own lands using native people trained in surveying and topography. Salasaca Quichua ''Bloodthirsty savages!" 'We have to punish the·savages!n '1ndian idiots!'' ~these and similar attacks, broadcast ··live over local radio stations and through local media, continue to be directed against the Salasaca Quichua, a small Indian commuriity in the central highlands of Ecuador. The Salasacas live near a highway that cuts their valley in half. In 1934, the Salasacas fought against the construction of the highway that violated their chosen isolation from outsiders. Since that time the. Indian people along the highway have been the constant victims of robberies and car accidents, but when they have complained to local police about the robberies and the hit-andrun killings, no investigation or prosecution has ever been carried out. On June 5th an angry faction of the Salasacas reacted to this frustration by killing two men who Page 22 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On June 8th an unmarked police car came and took Rudicindo Masaquiza away. His condition is unknown and many fear that he has been tortured. Soon after, officials presented a list with names of those suspected in the killing of the two men, including several Salasacas. The Salasacas quickly gathered in the central plaza and for many days refused to let the police enter to take away the accused. Community leaders are working with the national Indian organization, CONAIE, to coordinate a legal defense. Formal charges and trial have not been set, and the situation remains dangerous for the Salasacas.

From the Mapuche residents of Osomo Province we have received notification of forced sales and seizures of their farm lands due to unpaid taxes. The properties seized by the State number nearly 600 farms and estates which have been occupied by about 1,500 Mapuche families, Q.OOO people for many generations. These families, mainly in the coastal region of the Osomo province, have been exempt from payment of land taxes until recently. It is public knowledge that the Mapuche communities live on land inherited by their forefathers. However, most of this land is presently registered in the names of non-Mapuche private individuals. ''At this time of conflict, we call on all our Mapuche and peasant brothers to unite. Only by organizing can we defend ourselves. At the same time we ask for the support of Human Rights organizations, the Church, political parties, trade unions, and so on, to help us through this serious problem," say the Mapuche communities.

Shortly after their arrival, Indian leader Rigoberta Menchu and ex-Dean of the University of San Carlos, Dr. Rolando Castillo, were seized by anti-riot squads of the Guatemalan National Police, arrested and charged with "attacks against the internal security of the state."

When the RUOG announced its plans to send the delegation, the Guatemalan government had said its members would be required to apply for political amnesty. Rigoberta Menchu, a Mayan Indian and internationally known defender of the rights of her people, stated that "I will not request [political] amnesty because I have done nothing wrong. My work is to denounce human rights violations, because my father, mother and brothers were assassinated." Menchu added that she is a member of the Committee for Peasant Unity (CUC), a campesino organization pushed underground by government repression in 1980. The arrests triggered sweeping international protests. In the U.S., despite a complete lack of press coverage, many progressive organizations activated their emergency response network. Thousands of telegrams were delivered to President Vinicio Cerezo.

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.

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.
