  • Decolonization, Indigenous Internationalism, and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples
    Decolonization, Indigenous Internationalism, and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples by Jonathan Crossen A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 ©Jonathan Crossen 2014 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation investigates the history of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples (WCIP) and the broader movement of Indigenous internationalism. It argues that Indigenous internationalists were inspired by the process of decolonization, and used its logic to establish a new political identity. The foundation of the WCIP helped create a network of Indigenous peoples that expressed international solidarity between historically unconnected communities. The international efforts of Indigenous activists were encouraged both by personal experiences of international travel and post-secondary education, and by the general growth of international non-governmental organizations during the late twentieth century. The growing importance of international non-governmental organizations helped the WCIP secure funding from international developmental aid agencies, a factor which pushed the organization to increase its focus on apolitical economic development relative to the anti-colonial objectives which inspired its foundation. This dissertation examines how Indigenous international organizations became embroiled in the Cold War conflict in Latin America, and the difficulties this situation posed for both the WCIP and the International Indian Treaty Council.

    AIR AMERICA: CURTISS C-46s by Dr. Joe F. Leeker First published on 15 August 2003, last updated on 25 October 2021 An Air America C-46 – probably N9458Z – making drops somewhere over Laos (with kind permission from Frank Bonansinga) The types of missions flown by Air America’s C-46s: Like the C-47, the C-46 was one of the types of aircraft Air America had inherited in March 59 from the times of CAT Inc., but in larger numbers. At that time, much of Air America’s operations was still concentrated in Japan and in the Republic of China. All that changed in 1960: Already in the fall of that year, four of Air America C-46s had been transferred to Central America to fly arms and supplies to anti-Castro guerrillas in Cuba, but only two of them plus one replacement aircraft returned the following year. At about the same time it became evident that Communist support to Neutralist and Pathet Lao forces in Laos made it necessary to strengthen the pro-Western forces in that country. So in the fall of 1960, an endless stream of Air America C-46s moved thousands of tons of arms and supplies from the secret base at Takhli (T-05) in Thailand to General Phoumi Nosavan at Savannakhet. In January 61 Vang Pao was added to the CIA’s list of receivers, and since that time, some of the supplies flown out of Takhli were delivered to a drop zone near Vang Pao’s headquarters at Pa Doung in Laos (Trest, Air Commando One, pp.
