  • Indigenous Movements from Oppressed Nationalities
    From Oppressed Nationalities to Ethno-Nationalists: Historicizing Ecuador’s Indigenous Movement Marc Becker 3209 Atwood Ave Madison, WI 53704 608-244-7817 [email protected] December 5, 2007 Abstract: Activists and academics alike celebrated the consolidation of an ethno-nationalist identity among Ecuador’s Indigenous movements in the 1980s and 1990s as a novel and important development in the Andes. Many people, however, are unaware of the deeper historical roots of this discourse. In the 1920s the Moscow-based Communist International constructed Indigenous peoples as a nationality, and advocated an independent Indigenous republic in the Andes. By the 1930s Indigenous and leftist activists in Ecuador had made that construction their own as they commonly began to refer to Indigenous nationalities. Although little noted, this discourse persisted in leftist circles throughout the twentieth century. What emerged at the end of the century was not so much a new way of constructing identities, but a return to time-proven methods of organizing popular movements. Thus, it is not a break from the past but successfully building on previous struggles that explains a strong Indigenous movement in Ecuador. Bio: Marc Becker is an associate professor of Latin American History at Truman State University, Missouri’s premier, highly selective liberal arts institution. He writes and teaches about race, class, and gender in popular movements in Latin America. He has a forthcoming book from Duke University Press on the history of Indigenous movements in twentieth-century Ecuador. He is the Chair of the Andean Studies committee of the Conference on Latin American History (CLAH), and a council member of the Ethnicity, Race and Indigenous Peoples (ERIP) section of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA).

An Analysis of the Different Meanings of Autonomy in Bolivia, and their Impact on the Autonomy Regime. This thesis explores the diverse meanings attached to the concept of autonomy in Bolivia. Different sectors of society at the state level, and individuals from indigenous nations at the local level –in particular the Monkoxt of Lomerío–, attach different meanings, expectations and hopes to autonomy. This thesis analyzes how the different understandings have impacted the implementation of the autonomy system, and it also explores how they may influence the future of the autonomy model in Bolivia.

  • General Assembly Distr.: General 29 July 2016
    United Nations A/71/256 General Assembly Distr.: General 29 July 2016 Original: English Seventy-first session Item 19 (j) of the provisional agenda* Sustainable development Sustainable mountain development Report of the Secretary-General Summary Mountain and upland areas have a universal importance: they provide water and other global goods and services to humanity. However, mountain ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate change, extreme weather events and land degradation and recover slowly from disasters and shocks. In the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Member States pledged to leave no one behind and stressed the importance of reaching those furthest behind first. Mountain communities in developing countries are particularly vulnerable and require special attention, given that one in three people in those areas is at risk of hunger and malnutrition. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the targets relating to mountains as well as to poverty, hunger, sustainable agriculture, climate change and gender equality, there is a need to prioritize mountain areas by focusing on the specific challenges they face and the opportunities they provide. Mountain-specific policies and the inclusion of mountain communities in decision-making processes and capacity development can improve the livelihoods of communities while also conserving and restoring mountain ecosystems. In particular, efforts should be made to increase scientific knowledge of mountains and collect disaggregated data for sound analysis, policy advice and, ultimately, for change. * A/71/150. 16-13014 (E) 120816 *1613014* A/71/256 Introduction 1. In 1998, the General Assembly, in its resolution 53/24, proclaimed 2002 the International Year of Mountains and encouraged Governments, the United Nations system and all other actors to take advantage of the year to increase awareness of the importance of sustainable mountain development.

  • THE RAINBOW FLAG of the INCAS by Gustav Tracchia
    THE RAINBOW FLAG OF THE INCAS by Gustav Tracchia PROLOGUE: The people of this pre-Columbian culture that flourished in the mid- Andes region of South America (known as The Empire of The Incas) called their realm: Tawantinsuyo, meaning the four corners. The word INCA is Quechua for Lord or King and was attached to the name of the ruler e.g., Huascar Inca or Huayna Capac Inca. In Quechua, the official language of the empire; Suyo is corner and Tawa, number four. Ntin is the way to form the plural. Fig. 1 Map of the Tawantinsuyo Wikipedia, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/file:inca expansion.png) 1 Gustav Tracchia The "four corners" or suyos radiated from the capital, Cuzco: - Chincasuyo: Northwest Peru, present day Ecuador and the tip of Southern Colombia. - Contisuyo: nearest to Cuzco, south-central within the area of modern Peru. - Antisuyo: almost as long as Chincansuyo but on the eastern side of the Andes, from northern Peru to parts of upper eastern Bolivia. - Collasuyo: Southwest: all of western Bolivia, northern Chile and northwest of Argentina. Fig. 2 Cobo, Historia, schematic division of the four suyos 2 The Rainbow Flag of the Incas Fig. 3 Map of Tawantinsuyo, overlapping present day South American political division. ()www.geocities.com/Tropics/beach/2523/maps/perutawan1.html To simplify, I am going to call this still mysterious pre-Columbian kingdom, not Tawantinsuyo, but the "Empire of the Incas" or "The Inca Empire." I am also going to refer to events related to the culture of the Incas as "Incasic" or "Incan".

    Expert Group Meeting (EGM) on SDG 15 May 14-15, 2018 – Conference Room 9, UN HQ, New York Session on Mountains as key providers for a Sustainable Future 15 May, 11:45–12:45 Session Initiation and Opening Remarks: 11:45 – 11:55 By the Ex-Executive Director of The Mountain Institute and Chair of the Steering Committee of the Mountain Partnership. Distinguished experts, ladies and gentlemen, • This next session is on mountain systems and their role in global sustainability as it relates to SDG 15 • It is a pleasure to moderate this session on behalf of the mountain community. Mountain stakeholders include indigenous people, species and ecosystems in the world’s highlands as well as much of humanity in vast mountain dependent lowland areas. For this session, do keep in mind the tag line for 2002 International Year of the Mountains: “We Are All Mountain People” • I will start this session by briefly reviewing key facts about mountains in the context of SDG 15; then we will have two presentations – one from a representative of a government agency and another from civil society; and then open the floor for discussion of key mountain issues of relevance to meeting targets of SDG 15 and other SDGS, as well as other Multi-lateral Environmental Agreement. • Mountains cover about 22% of the earth’s land – including a quarter of the world’s forests. They are a source of fresh water; energy; biodiversity; a range plant, animal and mineral products; and other goods and services vital to much of the world’s population as well as national economies.
