A diverse group of individuals and organizations were brought together. Representatives of the ~ation~l Indian Youth Council, the Amencan Fnends Service Committee/Native Peoples Task Force, La Mesilla Organizing Project, the University of Arizona College of Law, the University of Hermosillo (Sonora, Mexico), the State Bar of Sonora, and others were present. Individual participants included Thomas Banyaca (Hopi Nation), Susan Harjo (the Executive Director of the National Indian Congress and the Morning Star Foundation), Dennis Banks of the American Indian Movement and Vine Deloria. People came from across the continent to give support to the 0' odham Nation in their battle to attain sovereignty. Despite the controversial political diversity of the Summit participants, there was a strong thread of unity and spirituality that brought the people together in a beautiful way. Susan Harjo (Cheyenne/Cree) spoke of the need to assert and to reclaim our Indian National Borders. She commented that the organization of this conference was evidence of Native peoples' tenacity and the ability to survive the great invasion that began when Columbus came to these shores. She declared, "This case will have tremendous impact on American Indians who have been divided by borders with Canada and Mexico. Most Indian Nations will rally to support the O'odham and that support will be unconditional. These people are fighting for basic human right~, . religious rights, ecological rights and terntonal rights." Traditional Circle of Indian Elders and Youth Share Native Philosophy The following is a statement from Haida Chief Skidegate (Lewis Collinson), made in March, 1966: "People are like trees, and groups of people are like forests. While the forests are composed of many different kinds of trees, these trees intertwine their roots so strongly that it is impossible for the strongest winds which blow on our Islands to uproot the forest, for each tree strengthens its neighbor, and their roots are inextricably entwined. In the same way the people of our Islands, composed of members of nations and races from all over the world, are beginning to intertwine their roots so strongly that no troubles will affect them. Just as one tree standing alone would soon be destroyed by the first strong wind which came along, so is it impossible for any person, any family or any community to stand alone against the troubles of this world." The Traditional Circle of Elders and Youth met last June in Haida Gwaii on the Queen Charlotte Islands, off the West Coast of Canada and issued the following statement in regards to indigenous land rights. "Indigenous people around the world have a birthright and a responsiblility to their ancestral lands. They have an identity that is based upon the land. They have a sovereign right to protect the natural world from exploitation. If the nations remain truthful to their traditional philosophy and values towards the �land, their future is secure. People need to rediscover that Natural Law which in turn will allow them access to the land without destroying it. Our cultures are based upon two important premises that involve land. First, we believe that the Earth is our Spiritual Mother, created to support us provided we live by the Original Instructions of our Creator. Second, our diverse cultures get their individual identities from the land. This creates an essential relationship to our ancestral lands that must be preserved. Our cultural and spiritual identity is dependent upon a land base. The land provides us with sustenance, shelter, inspiration and a responsibility to respect all elements of that land. The land is a sacred trust held in common for the benefit of the future of our nations. Land is not an economic resource to be sold. We can no longer continue to base our economic future on the extraction and exportation of its natural resources. Access to resources is subject to the Natual Law. If we destroy the land we will have no sustenance, no home and no future for the next generations. If we destroy the resources, we have broken our sacred trust. Our nations need to set parameters for land usage with spiritual laws guiding our decisions. We need a common sense approach to help the people benefit from the resources of the land, while assuring the long-term health of those resources. The people, the clans and the Nations are entrusted with sovereignty over the land. It is a collective right that has spiritual consequences. Abuse of this responsibility will lead to the destruction of our nations, our cultures and all of our resources. We have been led astray by the profit motives of the industrial age. We must remember why we were given the land in the first place. Each tribal culture has a land use ethic which must be restored. The land has been inherited from a long line of ancestors. They have passed on the trust to us. We hold the land, not for financial gain but for the sake of future generations, so that they will have a home, a land base, a secure future. We have to instill in them a deep respect for all of the gifts of Creation ... In closing, the Traditional Circle of Indian Elders and Youth hopes that all people will make an effort to incorporate traditional values into their lives. We believe that there is an urgent need to change the destructive ways that are harmful to the peaceful and natural way of life. With this Communique the Traditional Circle of Indian Elders and Youth reaches out to the world for support and cooperation in restoring the balance and harmony of all life, and in protecting Mother Earth. 'Daalang gii giinahl sudaas naa gi dang gyust'aa sqawdaagii uu daalang gahl kil'laa gaa. Howa. Gaa gang at t'aa ts'ii.' (Thank you for listening to the words that have been spoken. Howa. Step carefully as you go)." This is a Mapuche symbol which signifies the four directions and the continual movement of all life on our planet. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The line between the U.S. and Mexico is not our line. The fences around our grazing lands are not our fences. Together we can take back what is rightfully ours so that our children and their children will know the ways of the O'odham." -Mike Flores, Director of the Hia Ched 0' odham Program SAIIC Board Member Gina Pacaldo attended the Border Tribes Summit from October 15-21, 1989 held at San Xavier, Arizona. Gina spoke to the 0' odhamPapagoNations about participating in the 500 Years of Indian Resistance Campaign in 1992. The proposal for their participation was translated into Spanish and 0' odham and unanimously passed by the participants of the Summit. The Northern Sonoran 0' odham are challenging the legitimacy of the Gadsen Purchase, with which the U.S., in the last century, bought land from Mexico which now makes up Southern Arizona and a part of Southern New Mexico. Prior to this purchase, the 0' odham Nation comprised nearly 60,000 square miles. They have lost 93% of their land since then. The Border Tribes Summit was organized by the Defenders of 0' odham Land Rights, Inc., a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization. The Tohono 0' odham from the U.S. and Mexico participated and the Hia Ched 0' odham from San Xavier District hosted the conference. The 0' odham want to negotiate with the U.S. and Mexico as a · separate and autonomous government, representing their own interests rather than having to present land claims to the domestic courts of each country. The 0' odhams' ability to travel to sacred sites, teach their children the traditional nomadic ways, and maintain their language has been severely hampered by immigration law and domestic policies of the U.S. and Mexico. Current problems and concerns over the border areas, legal questions, human rights violations, and abuses of civil and constitutional rights were addressed at the Summit. The Summit was considered politically �and legally very successful. A diverse group of individuals and organizations were brought together. Representatives of the ~ation~l Indian Youth Council, the Amencan Fnends Service Committee/Native Peoples Task Force, La Mesilla Organizing Project, the University of Arizona College of Law, the University of Hermosillo (Sonora, Mexico), the State Bar of Sonora, and others were present.

This began a series of meetings which took place in the Mosquitia between Indigenous leaders, local authorities, development groups and the INA. The results of these meetings has been that the inhabitants of Krautara/ Krausirpe (Tawahka), Pimienta (Miskito), Las Marias (Pesch) obtained "provisional guarantees" for the titling of their lands in November. The armed men who were claiming the land near Krautara were denied land titles. This is the first time in the history of the Honduran Mosquitia that the Indian people have obtained some level of security for their land through the government. Nevertheless, the guarantees are only provisional and the struggle will continue until all the Indian people of the Honduran Mosquitia have obtained permanent guarantees of their property rights. In November, representatives of the Indian organizations travelled to Panama for a conference with the Kuna about Indigenous management of tropical rainforests. They are very happy with the opportunity to exchange information with other Indian organizations. FITH, FETRIPH and MASTA can be contacted through: Mopawi Apdo.2175 Tegucigalpa, D.C. Honduras, Central America SAIIC Board Member Attends Congress on Fate and Hope of the Earth My name is Carlos Maibeth. I am a Miskito Indian from Nicaragua. Recently, I participated in the Fourth Biennial Congress on the Fate and Hope of the Earth as a member of the SAIIC Board of Directors. The Congress took place in Managua, Nicaragua last June. During this Congress, the desire for unity between Indigenous peoples and environmentalists was expressed. The struggle for Indigenous rights and the struggle for a healthier environment are the same struggle throughout the world. One of the workshops at the Congress was specifically on Indigenous issues. There were five other Indian people on the panel. They included 1) Moringe Parkipuny, Masai and a member of the Tanzanian Parliament. He is working on a Policy Action Plan fo~ Land and Resource Use in and Implications to National Parks and Socio-Economic Systems in East Africa, 2) Sarah James of the Gwi'chin Athabascan People in Alaska, a member of the Arctic Village Traditional Council, 3) Tony Gonzalez, Seri-chicano and coordinator of the International Indian Treaty Council, 4) Hazel Law, Miskito Indian and Deputy to the Miskito �Tribe in the Nicaraguan National Assembly, and 5) Elacio Holmes, Miskito and representative of Kisan por la Paz. Some of the conclusions we carne to at the conference are: The Congress participants are profoundly concerned about the future of life on our planet. The expanding crises in the environment, human rights, underdevelopment and militarism are symptoms of a deeper set of problems. Instead of attacking the symptoms, we must go to the root of these problems. The Congress recognizes that it is a fundamental human right for all the world's people to live and develop in a healthy environment. The Congress denounces, as irresponsible, policies inspired by economic and consumption-oriented criteria. These shortsighted policies benefit a few to the disadvantage of the great majority of the world's peoples. It is becoming ever clearer that social and environmental degradation are intimately intertwined between the South and the North. Environmental problems are displaced from North to South, and then return full circle to their countries of origin. Furthermore, we are destroying far more than what we are allowing to regenerate. The biosphere (the collective habitat of all living species that allows life on our planet) is seriously threatened for the first time in human history. It is out of a sense of justice and solidarity that people from throughout the world are joining together to rebel against these conditions ... The Congress reaffirms the sovereign and inalienable right of each people to choose, without interference, the model of politicat economic, and social organization that is most suited to its own interests, best identified with its own history, culture and tradition, taking into account that it is our common responsibility to safeguard the biosphere. The Congress particularly condemns any attempt to transfer the current models of industrialization to developing countries; these models lead to excessive consumption, waste and environmental destruction. Industrialized countries. achieved their levels of development at the expense of the planet's natural resources, whose deterioration is accelerating, and the biosphere, whose contamination is growing. All the people of the Earth are paying the price for the industrialized North's standard of living. The Congress recognizes as a fundamental right of indigenous peoples the safeguarding of their institutions, property, organization, work, territory and above alt their natural environment. The survival of these cultures directly contributes to the sustained development of not only the countries in which they live, but also of the whole world. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When approached by leaders of Krautara about why they were demarcating Tawahka lands, they responded that they had just bought all the lands upriver from Krautara. These lands had been cultivated and lived on by the Tawahka for centuries. The people of Krautara and nearby Krausirpe, through FITH (the Federation of Tawahka Indians of Honduras), responded immediately by taking up a collection, with every hou~e­ hold contributing to send a small delegation to solicit legal help from development organizations and lawyers in the populated Honduran interior. The Tawahka, Miskito and Pesch Indians live in the Northeast of Honduras, an area known as the Mosquitia. In total, more than 40,000 Indian people live there, with the Miskitos forming the vast majority. Their subsistence economy has allowed them to live in relative harmony with the fragile environment there, which has resulted in the conservation of some of the largest tracts of tropical rainforest in Central America. Many species of animals and plants which are extinct in other parts of Central America still exist in the Honduran Mosquitia. But in the last 15 to 20 years, some 35,000 mestizos have invaded the �Mosquitia, refugees from the severely desertified Southern and Central regions of Honduras. They are colonizing the Upper Patuca River, where the Tawahka live, and the Platano River where Pesch and Miskito live. The Indigenous people of the Mosquitia, even though they have occupied their lands for centuries before Honduras was even considered a Republic, are denied legal title to their lands. FITH, FETRIPH (the Federation of Pesch Indians of Honduras) and MASTA (Miskito Indian Association of Honduras), along with Mopawi, a local development organization with the principle objective of the continued materiat cultural and spiritual wellbeing of the Indigenous inhabitants of the Mosquitia, have organized several trips along the lengths of the Plat:Omo and Patuca Rivers. The purpose of these trips is for the local Indian leaders to see the magnitude of the problems which accompany the mestizo invasions. Representatives from many Indian communities have been investigating and documenting the social and ecological changes along their rivers. They have also been organizing an ongoing dialogue with the Jicaques from an interior province who have gone through the long and painful process of losing portions of their lands. Following the land-grab of 10,000 hectares of Tawahka lands last January, representatives from each Indian organization, with the assistance of Mopawi, visited the central offices of the INA (the National Agrarian Insti- I �tute in charge of land claims) in Tegucigalpa last March. This began a series of meetings which took place in the Mosquitia between Indigenous leaders, local authorities, development groups and the INA. The results of these meetings has been that the inhabitants of Krautara/ Krausirpe (Tawahka), Pimienta (Miskito), Las Marias (Pesch) obtained "provisional guarantees" for the titling of their lands in November.

After accusing the members of being communists and supporting the guerillas, they began to shoot, killing ten Indian people, among them three or four children. They were all members of ANIS, the National Association of Indian People of El Due to complete military control in the area, no journalists are being allowed to enter the area. Two members of the cooperative went immediately to ANIS headquarters in Sonsonate to report the killings. . The chief of ANIS, Adrian Esquino, is bemg threatened and reported as a "subversive" along with all members of UNTS the National Workers Union, on Radio Ku~catlan which is under military control.

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.

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.

Under the coordination of Joseph Palacio, "Indigi-Notes" was published last June. fot;ter extensive exchanges among themselves and other Indigenous peoples and to 5) correct inequalities traditionally meted against them and other deprived minorities. 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."
