GE.03-17091 (E) 040304 090304 E/CN.4/2004/80/Add.3 page 2 Executive summary This report is submitted in accordance with Commission on Human Rights resolution 2003/56 and covers the official visit to Chile by the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous people, which took place between 18 and 29 July 2003. In 1993, Chile adopted the Indigenous Peoples Act (Act No. 19,253), in which the State recognizes indigenous people as “the descendants of human groups that have existed in national territory since pre-Colombian times and that have preserved their own forms of ethnic and cultural expression, the land being the principal foundation of their existence and culture”. The main indigenous ethnic groups in Chile are listed as the Mapuche, Aymara, Rapa Nui or Pascuense, Atacameño, Quechua, Colla, Kawashkar or Alacaluf, and Yámana or Yagán. Indigenous peoples in Chile currently represent about 700,000 persons, or 4.6 per cent of the population.

  • LARC Resources on Indigenous Languages and Peoples of the Andes Film
    LARC Resources on Indigenous Languages and Peoples of the Andes The LARC Lending Library has an extensive collection of educational materials for teacher and classroom use such as videos, slides, units, books, games, curriculum units, and maps. They are available for free short term loan to any instructor in the United States. These materials can be found on the online searchable catalog: http://stonecenter.tulane.edu/pages/detail/48/Lending-Library Film Apaga y Vamonos The Mapuche people of South America survived conquest by the Incas and the Spanish, as well as assimilation by the state of Chile. But will they survive the construction of the Ralco hydroelectric power station? When ENDESA, a multinational company with roots in Spain, began the project in 1997, Mapuche families living along the Biobio River were offered land, animals, tools, and relocation assistance in return for the voluntary exchange of their land. However, many refused to leave; some alleged that they had been marooned in the Andean hinterlands with unsafe housing and, ironically, no electricity. Those who remained claim they have been sold out for progress; that Chile's Indigenous Law has been flouted by then-president Eduardo Frei, that Mapuches protesting the Ralco station have been rounded up and prosecuted for arson and conspiracy under Chile's anti-terrorist legislation, and that many have been forced into hiding to avoid unfair trials with dozens of anonymous informants testifying against them. Newspaper editor Pedro Cayuqueo says he was arrested and interrogated for participating in this documentary. Directed by Manel Mayol. 2006. Spanish w/ English subtitles, 80 min.

  • Report on the Work of the FAO Indigenous Peoples Team 2018
    Report on the work of the FAO Indigenous Peoples team 2018 1 Report on the work of the FAO Indigenous Peoples team - 2018 Report on the work of the FAO Indigenous Peoples team - 2018 Partnerships and South-South Cooperation Division, Advocacy Unit (DPSA) Background Since the creation of the FAO Indigenous Peoples Team in DPSA in June 2014, the strategy of the team has been to position an agenda of work within FAO, rooted in the 2007 UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and to set in motion the implementation of the 2010 FAO Policy on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples. The work of the FAO Indigenous Peoples Team is the result of constant interactions and discussions with indigenous peoples’ representatives. The joint workplan emanating from the 2015 meeting between indigenous representatives and FAO was structured around 6 pillars of work (Advocacy and capacity development; Coordination; Free Prior and Informed Consent; Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests and the Voluntary Guidelines on Small-Scale Fisheries; Indigenous Food Systems; and Food Security Indicators). Resulting from the discussions with indigenous youth in April 2017, a new relevant pillar was outlined related to intergenerational exchange and traditional knowledge in the context of climate change and resilience. In 2017, the work of the FAO Indigenous Peoples Team shifted from advocacy, particularly internal to the Organization, to consolidation and programming. Through a two-year programme of work encompassing the 6+1 pillars of work and the thematic areas – indigenous women and indigenous youth, the Team succeeded in leveraging internal support and resources to implement several of the activities included in the programme of work for 2018.

They migrated southward through the area of Wisconsin and Minnesota to the Mississippi River. Those who became known as the Ioway remained at the junction of the Iowa River, while the rest of the band traveled on, further West and South to the Missouri River. At the fork of the Grand River, a quarrel ensued between the families of two chiefs, and the band of people divided into the Otoe and Missouria tribes. The two communities remained autonomous until the Missouria suffered near annihilation from sickness and intertribal warfare over hunting boundaries aggravated by the fur trade. The remnant group merged with the Otoes in 1798 under their chiefs. However, by the 1830’s they had been absorbed by the larger community. In the 1880’s, the leaders went South and selected lands between the Ponca and Pawnee in Oklahoma Territory. Their numbers had been reduced to 334 members. The oral tradition of the several communities had ceased, on the whole, by the early 1940’s, although several contemporary versions of stories and accompanying songs were recorded by this writer from the last fluent speakers in 1970 - 1987. The final two fluent speaker of Ioway - Otoe-Missouria language died at Red Rock, Oklahoma in the Winter of 1996.

DECISION IN THE OBLIGATION TO NEGOTIATE ACCESS TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN CASE YURI MANTILLA* ABSTRACT The Article analyzes the International Court of Justice’s decision in the Obligation to Negotiate Access to the Pacific Ocean (Bolivia v. Chile) case and its failure to provide an original and effective legal solution to an important territorial dispute in Latin America. As a response to this, this Article makes the case for the engagement of other institutions and actors including the Secretary General of the United Nations, the Organization of American States, and Pope Francis, who could facilitate mediation processes for the resolution of this international conflict. This Article considers historical facts that demonstrate the intention of the parties to find a negotiated solution to their territorial dispute. It makes the case for using mediation and conciliation, for the resolution of the conflict, and makes arguments against power politics and the use of military force as instruments for the resolution of the territorial dispute. Moreover, this Article demonstrates that the people of Bolivia and Chile can find a mutually beneficial solution to their dispute by creating, among others, civil * Yuri Mantilla is Professor of Law at Liberty University School of Law.

An award-winning investigative reporter of Oneida and Ojibwe descent, DeMain will deliver the Mitchell Museum’s third annual Dr. Carlos Montezuma Honorary Lecture. The title of his talk is “American Indians and the Tipping Point: No Longer a Miner’s Canary.” “Native America has a bigger seat at all the tables now,” DeMain said in a telephone interview with the Mitchell Museum. “Tribes are something to be reckoned with.” In some states, counties, and districts, Native votes can determine the outcome of close elections, he said. DeMain said he can recall when political campaigns used to ignore Indian reservations.

I now believe we should stick to being a devolved government. I changed my mind on this based on that report I posted up the other week on how Scotland has had a very poor record in teaching children about the history of Scotland. As a result of that report I thought I should look more closely at the history of our relations with England and then went on to do further research on how Scottish the Scots actually are. For example, Scotland has seen migration and settlement of many peoples at different periods in its history. The Gaels, the Picts and the Britons have their respective origin myths, like most medieval European peoples. The Venerable Bede tells of the Scotti coming from Spain via Ireland and the Picts coming from Scythia. Germanic peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxons, arrived beginning in the 7th century, while the Norse invaded and colonized parts of Scotland from the 8th century onwards.
