The army maintains complete control over the PACS and there have been reported cases of the army forcing patrollers to use violence against their own neighbors or be killed. Several unrelated sources in the Ixil-Maya area reported incidents in which the army ordered patrollers to burn houses, crops, and kill refugees. A refugee from Rubinal told how the army killed a man for refusing to rape his neighbor. Civil Patrol commanders are proxies for the army and have wide-ranging powers. Some of them take over land, animals and goods of those who flee the violence as refugees. They've also been known to rape women with impunity. The military rarely takes action against these abusive commanders. Nine members of the Civil Defense Patrol (PACS) were killed by the Guatemalan Army in the town of San Cristobal, Alta Vera Paz. The army admits that it "confused them with guerrillas." Civil patrols have been set up by the military in many Guatemalan villages. All adult men and many young boys from rural villages are forced to give one to three days a week of unpaid patrol duty, supposedly to guard the village against rebel forces. In actuality, the PACS are used to keep tight control over rural populations, monitoring the activities and allowing the army to concentrate on other military activities. The Council of Indigenous Communities (CERJ) was founded in July, 1988 to protect the rights of Guatemala's Indigenous ~~-_.,.,_ peoples. CERJ has been actively denouncing the military's use of civil patrols and subsequently, many members of CERJ have been the victims of "disappearances." •••••••••pv The fact that the army accepts responsibility for the killings as "a mistake" leads one to believe that they may now justify any Peasants from Cuilco, Huehuetenango and the Dean of the College of Agronomy have �asked President Cerezo to suspend aerial spraying of the herbicide 'glyphosphate,' saying it pollutes the water and destroys their bees, corn, beans and tomatoes. The herbicide is supposedly being sprayed to destroy marijuana and opium poppies, but the College of Agronomy reports that it is not a selective herbicide as the authorities are claiming it to be. It is affecting all the vegetation in the region, including the flowers, which is in turn killing the bees. The Los Angeles Times (10/15/89) reports that the U.S. government in its War on Drugs, is spraying the herbicide over the Cuilco Valley with the permission of the Guatemalan government. Though it has little effect on poppies, the spray has devastated the area's more traditional agricultural base, particularly beekeeping and tomatoes. One farmer said that the price he was getting for his tomatoes dropped from 18 Quetzales a bushel to about two Quetzales, which is less than the cost of growing them. Farmers have taken their The Tzutujil-Maya of Santiago Atitlan are under the constant harassmentof the Guatemalan Army.

The offices of both the Mutual Support Group for the Relatives of the Disappeared (GAM) and Peace Brigades International (PBI) were partially destroyed by explosives. This took place on August 15th, the day after Maria Rumualda Carney, a GAM member was kidnapped. She is the fifth sibling of the Carney family to be kidnapped. The rest of her family has had to flee the country. The bombing partially destroyed both offices, but fortunately, nobody was injured. Although the national daily paper, Prensa Libre claims the assailants are "unknown," GAM president Nineth Montenegro de Garcia reported that the responsible party is "a well known enemy of GAM." The GAM was formed to assist those who have had family members "disappear," which means they have been kidnapped and taken away by military or para-military death squads and usually are never heard from again. Peace Brigades International is a group of pacifists which sends members to areas of the world where there is major conflict and human rights abuses, in order to monitor the situation and to provide international witnesses and escorts to activists whose lives are in danger. The people of Santiago Atitlan, a Tzutujil-Maya community, have been subject to much army persecution in recent years. Since September, 1989, the community has been under constant harrassment from the army. On September 4th, the brothers Jose, Salvador and Antonio Ixkalam Cali and Salvador Caj Tzihuina were captured and tortured along with seven others whose names are not known. On September 12, Andres Quic Ajuchan and Baltazar Quic Lacam were taken away at an army roadblock on the way from Santiago Atitlan to the capitol. Nothing is known about their whereabouts. On October 6th, Jose Ajtujcal and Cruz Ixbalam Ramirez, both from Santiago Atitlan, disappeared from the hills around Chicacao, Suchitepequez where they had been gathering wild food ("pacayas") to sell in the market. Groups of soldiers had been seen in the area around that time, and are believed to be responsible for the abductions. What You Can Do... Please take the time today to write the Gua temalan Embassy in Washington to protest the terrible violence being committed against Indian people in Guatemala. Also write letters to the Commissioner of the United Nations General Assembly and ask for an investigation into the spraying of Cuilco and urge a halt to the killings, threats and disappearances.

Triqui Indian People Using Technology to Protect Their Culture The following is an excerpt from an interview in Spanish with two Triqui Indian people, Marcos Sandoval Cruz and Fausto Sandoval from Oaxaca, on their visit to the San Francisco Bay Area last June. TriquiMask "In September, 1986, we established a cultural center in our community and we need international help to keep it going.

The schooling our children receive teaches them to cease being �Indians and many of them are straying from our culture. On the other hand, it is important for us to know Spanish and how to handle elements within the mainstream culture. So there are contradictions. This is why we are recording the testimony of our elders. It wasn't as necessary before, but now we are being culturally invaded from the outside. about what is behind our textiles. Each piece has a whole history behind it. Each design is an interpretation of the environment around us: the flowers, the sky, the fields, and the people. This artistic creativity could be called scientific because there's so much knowledge that goes into weaving, spinning, etc ... Little by little, Indian things are being replaced by white people's things. We must adapt our textiles to make more saleable items like pillows, tablecloths, etc ... In our economy, weaving adds a supplementary income. It takes a long time to create this work and people don't appreciate that. They have the idea that Indianmade things can be bought for nothing. In Mexico the national government is trying to get rid of our culture, to homogenize us into the mainstream. They see us as poor, ignorant and illiterate. To justify what they're doing they say they're helping us. But what they really want is for us to stop being IndiOur religion ans. For example, is a mixture. On the they send us doctors outside we appear who try to make us to be Catholics. We enemies of nature. have processions.

But all they are really after, 'civilized' and get AIDS, cancer and other nonwhen you get down to it, is imposing their curable diseases. religion on us.

Their numerous achivements so far include initiating ongoing contacts with the Working Group of Indigenous Peoples of the United Nations and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples. They had their First Regional Conference in Belize this past November 13th to 20th where they deliberated on fundamental issues related to COIP's own nature, its' interrelationship with other organizations of Indigenous peoples, and its own direction in the 1990s. COIP has been carrying on a very strong dialogue with the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College in Canada. The strength of COIP arises from the fact that it was formed by people who were not representing their national governments, rather they are leaders of their own people and are intimately involved with the conditions of Indigenous peoples in their home countries. Caribbean Indigenous Revival Toward Greater Recognition and Development COIP is an umbrella organization of grassroots national associations representing Indigenous peoples in four English-speaking countries of the Caribbean- Dominica (Carib), St. Vincent (Carib), Guyana (Arawak, Warrou, Carib, Wai Wai Wapishana), and Belize (Maya Mopan, Maya Kekchi, Garifuna). COIP was founded at a conference of Indigenous peoples held in St. Vincent in August, 1987. Its aims are to 1) promote the retrieval of Indigenous culture, 2) advocate basic human and civil rights, 3) reinforce a positive self image, 4) We, at SAIIC wish COIP the very best in being a voice for All our English-speaking Relations in the Caribbean.

Invasion is the only word that applies. The Atlantic coast of Nicaragua was exploited by the British, while the Spanish conquest took place on the Pacific coast. Of course we owe our People's exploitation by the British to the Spanish Crown. Today in many Indo-Afro-Latin-American countries, the heritage of Neo-Colonialism continues: governments continue denying or refusing to recognize our cultures. For this reason we stand in solidarity with all those who are against the misnamed 'Encounter of Two Worlds.' We are working on a Continental Conference to be held before 1992. For us, as People of the Caribbean, the mere word 'Indian' can be summed up as an ideological, political concept and a slogan of our struggle. We condemn attempts to limit Indian mobility within their territories, the destruction of our cultures, and the fact that our fate is determined in World Congresses. We especially condemn the horrible 12th of October, 1492. We propose to celebrate October 11 as the last day of freedom for the American Indian. October 12 could be called 'The American Tragedy.' We are assuming the responsibility of raising conscioussness among all Indian Peoples about the Counter-Celebration of the 500 year anniversary. We'll do outreach through radio programs, community visits, school conferences, etc. The 500 year anniversary brings us degradation, ethnocide and genocide. All one needs is to be a clear-minded Indian to see who divided us, who tore us to pieces and who submitted us to what is in their elite minds 'Third World' status." In Solidarity, Kisan por la Paz LPDC Responds to Call to Action The following is from a letter SAIIC received from Yvonne Bushyhead of the International Office of the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee (LPDC). "My concern is that for the past 500 years, Native people have battled a political ideology as a result of cultural genocide. Many Native people have suffered at the hands of the dominant society. Many more are imprisoned, as a result of being falsely accused and convicted, when in reality, their only defense is their concern for rights of their people and lands. As Native Americans, and more importantly, as human beings, we each have a responsibility to fight for justice for those victimized by a prejudicial system. There are none more victimized than those imprisoned for their political and cultural beliefs. Specifically, we are challenging you to address this issue of indigenous political prisoners in the [First Continental Meeting] in [June], 1990. Most specifically, we urge that an hour of time at this meeting be reserved to discuss the plight of America's political prisoner, Leonard Peltier. Further, we request that you research and find other indigenous �political prisoners and set aside additional time for this most important issue. shoot-out ensued. As a result, the two agents and Joe Stuntz Killsright, a Native American, were found dead. Although four were originally charged with the crime, charges against one man were dismissed, and two were tried and acquitted. At this time, the government decided to focus all "prosecutorial weight" on Leonard Peltier. Leonard Peltier was illegally extradited from Canada to stand trial in the U.S., on the basis of fabricated affidavits from a coerced witness. Leonard Peltier received an unfair trial, laced with government manufactured evidence, illegal suppression, coerced witnesses and prejudicial jury and judges. His post trial efforts were all denied. I am the Indian Voice I long to be heard across the land I have been a prisoner of war for more than 200 years on my very own soil ... I am the Indian Voice I shall be heard And my people shall see The coming of a new day -Leonard Peltier Leonard Peltier, a 45 year old Chippewa-Sioux man is a political prisoner, currently in Leavenworth Federal Prison in Kansas. In June, 1975, on the Pine Ridge Reservation near Wounded Knee, South Dakota, two F.B.I. agents illegally entered private land without jurisdiction or warrant. A Most recently, the Canadian Supreme Court dismissed Peltier's application for leave to appeal the illegal extradition, apparently on the basis of a lack of jurisdiction. However, during the hearing, the U.S. Government failed to deny fraud on their part. This is an implicit admission of fraud. As a result of this admission, efforts are now underway for a joint meeting between the Canadian Parliament Members and U.S. Congresspersons, to discuss the violation of the international treaty. In light of this most important cause, we urge you to place the case of Leonard Peltier as political prisoner, as a priority issue at this conference. We look forward to your immediate response and action."

Along these lines, we have not only had a bearing on the restructuring of the national scene, but have also infuenced the formulation of political parties' programs, and national governments. On the other hand, efforts by indigenous peoples, along with the political projections of their organizations, have been fundamental factors in defining the diverse historical and cultural identities of the peoples comprising American society. Along the same lines, the establishment of a Plurinational State presupposes the recovery of our true historic and cultural roots, and of our identities as peoples with a history and a future. 1992 marks 500 years of the Spanish invasion. On this occasion, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAlE), representating the indigenous peoples, exercises its right to reflect and protest the official celebrations of national governments. We call on the various social sectors of our country to unite in one front and generate a mass movement in Ecuador and throughout the continent. The basic objective of this mobilization is to recover the dignity of our peoples and reject all forms of submission, colonial practices and neo-colonialism. The actions we have planned are part of a broad opposition movement, reaching both continental and international proportions. This movement was created in response to the 500 years since the 'discovery' of America celebrations, or so-called 'Meeting of Two Worlds.' This is the context from which CONAlE has organized a program of activities for the next four years."

The conquest of the Amazon today is very clear. This land is under assault in order to exploit its mineral resources, its reserves of valuable timber and its great hydro-electric potential. The Indigenous people of the Amazon are confronting this conquest, and this is 1989. The Yanomami, the most numerous of the Indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest, are facing the loss of their lands and are being killed because they are viewed as a barrier to the exploitation of natural resources in Brazil. Thus October 12, 1992 presents a great opportunity not to celebrate, nor to cry about our bad luck, but rather to reflect upon 500 years of the European invasion and to formulate alternatives for a better life, in harmony with Nature and with human dignity. Our peoples are developing forms of political, religious, cultural and economic interchange and interrelationship - a continental cultural identity; a civilization. Nevertheless, with the European invasion and subsequent process of colonization, we became isolated and out of communication, breaking a form of development we had attained. So, it is necessary to re-establish these lines of communication, to present an indigenous voice, not only against the celebration of the "SOOth Anniversary," but to face up to the innumerable common problems that we have and work for a worthy future for our people. Therefore, we invite all Indigenous peoples of our continent to reflect upon the real meaning of the "conquest" and to participate in the First Continental Meeting of Indigenous Peoples- 500 Years of Resistance" to be held at For further information about the conference, you can contact SAIIC or write to: CONAIE Los Granados 2553 Batan Quito, Ecuador A Historical Look at Native Resistance in South America The following is excerpted from a position paper written by CONAIE for their National Program: "On October 12, 1492 a group of adventurers backed by the Kings of Castille and Aragon, and lead by Christopher Columbus, landed on our continent. Their arrival inaugurated the so-called 'discoveries' of territories in America. As is well-known, the Spanish conquest originated out of an extremely high demand for precious metals. This demand was �generated by a crisis among feudal European regimes, particularly in Spain. The 'conquistadors' income generating plan was also fomented by a singular understanding and manner of practicing the Catholic faith. With respect to this perception of Catholicism, in 1606, Simon de Villalobos, a colonial authority, asserted, 'when we kill or wound, we must be careful to do so in defense of the faith of our father, Jesus Christ. In his name and defense we can win the heavens, employing_the spear and the knife.' oppression. The official religion served the function of appeasing the 'conquistadors' consciences while becoming a tool for controlling the indigenous people. This was the case, despite the fact that only 45 years after the 'discovery' of America, the Catholic Church recognized indigenous people as human beings. The true role of the Church during this period, however, was questioned by Bartolome de las Casas, precursor of the Church committed to the fate of the poor ...

The use of such violence was not an isolated event. To the contrary, violence The Indo-american people expressed constituted one of the more visible aspects of many forms of resistance to colonial dominathe process of political domination and cultural tion. All focused on the same objective how- �ever; the end of colonial rule. In this manner, the numerous peoples existing in the Americas at the time of its conquest were able to strengthen their commitment to unity while confronting the foreign 'conquistadors.' Within this ethnic and hierarchical order, the African peoples brought to the Americas during the slave trade, as well as certain sectors of the white/mestizo society, were included in the system of exploitation installed by the agrarian, neo-colonial regime. The fact that they are also victims of an exploitative system prompted many to join in the diverse forms of resistance initiated by the indigenous peoples. This understanding of the need for unity has brought about permanent conspiracies and uprisings against the colonial regimes, constituting the most definitive expression of the relative autonomy of the indigenous world with respect to colonial society.

The land holds a fundamental place in our daily life, in our sacred vision of the world and the heavens. Thus, the peoples who have inherited the traditions of the high, agrarian, Indoamerican civilizations of North, Central and South America, along with the various people with whom they coexist, and who coexist with them, are comitted to protecting and glorifying our long trajectory of resistance to regimes characterized by economic exploitation and political domination ... l \\ Due to the fact that Ecuadorian, and Latin American society in general, have promoted modernization and development processes, their colonial heritage has not been overcome. Indians, Blacks and Mestizos are still subjected to exploitation and oppression. Economic and social differences, as well as racial discrimination, continue to be the norm in some countries. In many cases these practices have reached ethnocidal and genocidal proportions. The concept of 'Indian,' originating during colonial times, characterizes the Indian as different and inferior to the white European. This concept has endured to date. The indigenist practices advocate for the 'redemption of the Indian' via his integration into the national society. This policy has failed to solve the fundamental problems confronting our peoples. Despite certain predictions to the effect that industrial society would necessarily lead to the extinction of the Indians, the indigenous peoples have risen again. We have become stronger in our struggle to recover what is legitimately ours and formulate an alternative political project aimed at building a new society. In this manner, indigenous nationalities have comprised the most important nucleus of the future society, as well as of a Plurinational State. The political proposal for a Plurinational State does not seek to build 'separate states' as insinuated by some sectors of society in the hopes of engendering fear within the population. To the contrary, the idea is to reflect the reality of the country in terms of cultural and national diversity, recognizing these differences and establishing social, political and economic equality ... From this perspective, we have moved forward in our organizational and political activities to such an extent that at present we �are one of the most representative organized social forces. Along these lines, we have not only had a bearing on the restructuring of the national scene, but have also infuenced the formulation of political parties' programs, and national governments. On the other hand, efforts by indigenous peoples, along with the political projections of their organizations, have been fundamental factors in defining the diverse historical and cultural identities of the peoples comprising American society. Along the same lines, the establishment of a Plurinational State presupposes the recovery of our true historic and cultural roots, and of our identities as peoples with a history and a future. 1992 marks 500 years of the Spanish invasion. On this occasion, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAlE), representating the indigenous peoples, exercises its right to reflect and protest the official celebrations of national governments. We call on the various social sectors of our country to unite in one front and generate a mass movement in Ecuador and throughout the continent. The basic objective of this mobilization is to recover the dignity of our peoples and reject all forms of submission, colonial practices and neo-colonialism. The actions we have planned are part of a broad opposition movement, reaching both continental and international proportions. This movement was created in response to the 500 years since the 'discovery' of America celebrations, or so-called 'Meeting of Two Worlds.' This is the context from which CONAlE has organized a program of activities for the next four years."

The meeting will take place in Quito, Ecuador at the end of June, 1990. The meeting is being organized by the Confederation of Indian Nations of Ecuador (CONAIE). The decision to hold this meeting was based on various discussions between Indian organizations throughout the I �continent which culminated with a preparatory meeting held last April in Quito between CONAIE, the National Organization of Indian People of Colombia CONIC), SAIIC, and other national and international support organizations. The broad objectives of the conference are: 1) to promote unity and active participation of Indigenous peoples and organizations in the 500 Years Campaign and to coordinate counter-commemorations; 2) to promote a broad, unified front of participation by other sectors of society, including those groups committed to human rights, justice, equality, and protection of the natural world, on a national and international level; 3) to re-establish inter-cultural relations between Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The first three days of the five-day Quito conference will be meetings between Indian peoples. Non-Indian people are invited to participate as observers for this period. The fourth day will be an open meeting with all the non-Indian organizations to discuss alliances and strategies, and on the fifth day there will be a press conference, a visit to local Indian communities, and in the late afternoon, a cultural exchange with Indian music. Following is a statement which was drawn up at the preparatory meeting in Quito, April 9th, 1989: A Call to Indigenous People: There is an urgent need to organize an indigenous response to the celebration of the so-called "Discovery of America," now officially called by some governments "the Encounter of Two Worlds." Spain, the Vatican, the United States and European and Latin American governments are preparing many pompous events to celebrate the "Conquest of America." From our Indigenous perspective, there was no "encounter." The contact between the Europeans and Indians did not permit equal conditions and opportunities. On the contrary, it was an armed invasion motivated by the quest for resources and by the crisis of feudal European regimes. The most evident consequences of these violent acts were genocide, the rape of our women, torture, political/ ideological and cultural submission and death through diseases brought to the continent. Our land and our resources were plundered. Military and religious power were the instruments of domination in the conquest. The conquest and the mentality of "Manifest Destiny" still prevails in modern society, in the operation of the oligarchy, in the abuses of the military, in the plundering of natural resources by multinational and national companies. These activities affect a large portion of our society, and in particular Indigenous people. We are still witnessing colonial aggression. �the end of June, 1990. The conquest of the Amazon today is very clear. This land is under assault in order to exploit its mineral resources, its reserves of valuable timber and its great hydro-electric potential. The Indigenous people of the Amazon are confronting this conquest, and this is 1989. The Yanomami, the most numerous of the Indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest, are facing the loss of their lands and are being killed because they are viewed as a barrier to the exploitation of natural resources in Brazil. Thus October 12, 1992 presents a great opportunity not to celebrate, nor to cry about our bad luck, but rather to reflect upon 500 years of the European invasion and to formulate alternatives for a better life, in harmony with Nature and with human dignity. Our peoples are developing forms of political, religious, cultural and economic interchange and interrelationship - a continental cultural identity; a civilization. Nevertheless, with the European invasion and subsequent process of colonization, we became isolated and out of communication, breaking a form of development we had attained. So, it is necessary to re-establish these lines of communication, to present an indigenous voice, not only against the celebration of the "SOOth Anniversary," but to face up to the innumerable common problems that we have and work for a worthy future for our people. Therefore, we invite all Indigenous peoples of our continent to reflect upon the real meaning of the "conquest" and to participate in the First Continental Meeting of Indigenous Peoples- 500 Years of Resistance" to be held at For further information about the conference, you can contact SAIIC or write to: CONAIE Los Granados 2553 Batan Quito, Ecuador A Historical Look at Native Resistance in South America The following is excerpted from a position paper written by CONAIE for their National Program: "On October 12, 1492 a group of adventurers backed by the Kings of Castille and Aragon, and lead by Christopher Columbus, landed on our continent. Their arrival inaugurated the so-called 'discoveries' of territories in America. As is well-known, the Spanish conquest originated out of an extremely high demand for precious metals.

" War on Drugs takes Spotlight off Continuing Violence against Indian People The latest public announcements from the drug lords of Colombia are offers of financial support to help the government in their longstanding battles against "subversive" movements. This is neither new nor bizarre to people in Colombia. What is new and bizarre is that the government is publicly refusing such offers. Contrary to what is portrayed by the international media, the narco-trafficking issue is not the only, nor the main problem in Colombia. The latest wave of killings mark a turning point in Colombia's violent history. The killers hired by narco-traffickers have moved away from just murdering grassroots organizers and opposition members to targeting banks, financial institutions, newspapers, and a wide spectrum of government officials. The reason for this new onslaught is to pressure the government to stop complying with the extradition treaty made with the U.S. government and to force negotiations that will eventually allow narco-dealers to remain safely in Colombia. Narco-trafficking grew to such enormous magnitude in the last 15 years in Colombia because of the lack of response to the situation by the government. There are two reasons for this: 1) the tremendous economic gain for the country, as well as for corrupt officials and military personnel, and 2) because the drug lords have faithfully contributed towards the oppression of "subversive" elements, especially in the rural areas where coca is grown. A quick review of Colombian newspapers from the last ten years shows clearly that the Colombian army and drug lords were behind most of the killings of political members of opposition parties, workers union activists, Indian and peasant leaders, educators, independent journalists and judges. This �strategic cooperation between the narcotics dealers and the military, along with the tremendous volume of money the former have invested in the country, demonstrates the fact that the drug lords acted with total impunity regarding their violent criminal activities. As a result of their exoneration from justice, the narco-network was allowed to grow to such an extent that they began to dispute with the government power structures. This conflict led to a series of attacks on Colombia's ruling class, including the assasination in last September of the leading presidential candidate, L.C. Galan. It was shortly after this murder that the government detained 10,000 people and "discovered" the whereabouts of the drug king-pins, and within a week had confiscated hundreds of planes, cars, weapons, properties and millions in cash. The already turbulent social climate of Colombia has been compounded since by the extraordinary wave of violence of the narco-traffickers retaliation. The latest issues of the Colombian Indian newspapers, "Unidad Indigena" and "Alvaro Ulcue" report that the killing of Indian leaders and organizers continues uninterrupted. In fact, every issue of these periodicals in the last 15 years has reported the killings of Indian activists. Even so, their cry for life, land, autonomy and respect for their cultures continues to grow strong. CRIC Headquarters Bombed The Headquarters of the Indian Regional Council of Cauca (CRIC) where the CRIC Newspaper is published, was bombed in September. Although there were 30 Indian people sleeping in the building at the time, nobody was hurt. After the attack, the Indian people in the building were detained, questioned, and put through a rigorous identification process. Then the police proceeded to raid the office, supposedly searching for clues about the bombing. Following the incident, the governor of the state of Cauca appeared and expressed solidarity with CRIC. He also promised restitution for the damages. A few days later, however, when CRIC organizers went to his office to request a permit to hold a demonstration in protest of the attack, they were denied the permit and the offer of economic aid was withdrawn. The attack and the ensuing debacle with the governor is in keeping with what Indian people in Colombia call, "a tradition of political violence and economic, social, and cultural oppression, generated by the dominant class in Colombia against the poorest sector of society." Indian Leaders Murdered SAIIC expresses condolences to the families of two female Indian leaders, Maria Juana Camayo, City Council member of the town of Totaro, and Berta Cecilia de Jesus, member of the Executive Committee of the Peasant Federation of Cauca. They were both murdered and evidence leaves no doubt that they were executed by narco-paramilitary death squads. As usual in these types of crimes, the bombing and the deaths, no suspects were detained and no in-depth investigations were conducted. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
