Of the five NPI glaciers studied, San Rafael Glacier showed a net advance, while other glaciers, San Quintin, Steffen, Colonia and Nef retreated during the same period. With additional data of JERS-1 images (1994), different patterns of variations for periods of 1986-94 and 1994-97 are recognized. Of the seven SPI glaciers studied, Pio XI Glacier, the largest in South America, showed a net advance, gaining a total area of 5.66 km2. Two RADARSAT images taken in January and April 1997 revealed a surge-like very rapid glacier advance.

History, despite its wrenching pain, Cannot be unlived, but if faced With courage, need not be lived again. Maya Angelou 2 The World Bank, 1996 INTRODUCTION 1. At the start of the U.N. International Decade for Indigenous Peoples (1995-2004), indigenous peoples in Latin America, the original inhabitants, live in some of the poorest and most marginal conditions. After enduring centuries of domination, forced assimilation and most recently the devastating effects of disease, conflict and poverty, indigenous peoples in Latin America have survived and become engaged in fierce struggles for rights to their land and resources and their freedom of cultural expression. This paper explores the conditions which have enabled indigenous peoples to respond to changing circumstances in their communities, the development strategies that are emerging at the grassroots level, and some of the lessons and opportunities that should be taken by the Bank to assist indigenous peoples to improve their lives while maintaining and strengthening their cultures.

  • Languages of the Middle Andes in Areal-Typological Perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran
    Languages of the Middle Andes in areal-typological perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran Willem F.H. Adelaar 1. Introduction1 Among the indigenous languages of the Andean region of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile and northern Argentina, Quechuan and Aymaran have traditionally occupied a dominant position. Both Quechuan and Aymaran are language families of several million speakers each. Quechuan consists of a conglomerate of geo- graphically defined varieties, traditionally referred to as Quechua “dialects”, not- withstanding the fact that mutual intelligibility is often lacking. Present-day Ayma- ran consists of two distinct languages that are not normally referred to as “dialects”. The absence of a demonstrable genetic relationship between the Quechuan and Aymaran language families, accompanied by a lack of recognizable external gen- etic connections, suggests a long period of independent development, which may hark back to a period of incipient subsistence agriculture roughly dated between 8000 and 5000 BP (Torero 2002: 123–124), long before the Andean civilization at- tained its highest stages of complexity. Quechuan and Aymaran feature a great amount of detailed structural, phono- logical and lexical similarities and thus exemplify one of the most intriguing and intense cases of language contact to be found in the entire world. Often treated as a product of long-term convergence, the similarities between the Quechuan and Ay- maran families can best be understood as the result of an intense period of social and cultural intertwinement, which must have pre-dated the stage of the proto-lan- guages and was in turn followed by a protracted process of incidental and locally confined diffusion.

  • Selected Writings Found in the Bahá'í Faith on Indians
    LB: Updatd November 2018 CHAPTER 1 - WRITINGS IN THE BAHÁ’Í AUTHORITATIVE TEXTS AND TEXTS BY THE HANDS OF THE CAUSE ON INDIANS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE I. Purpose of the Coming of Bahá’u’lláh Indeed, the purpose of the coming of Bahá’u’lláh is to lift the yoke of oppression from His loved ones, to liberate all the people of the world, and to provide the means for their abiding happiness. In this regard, the Tablets of the Divine Plan addressed by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to North America make it clear that the destiny of the Native Americans as an illumined and fulfilled peo- ple is linked to the quality of their response to the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh. (Letter dated 12 February 2002, written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice, http://bahai-library.com/ uhj_indian_nations) II. Capacity of American Indians to Comprehend the Faith The understanding of His words and the comprehension of the utterances of the Birds of Heaven are in no wise dependent upon human learning. They depend solely upon purity of heart, chastity of soul, and freedom of spirit. This is evidenced by those who, today, though without a single letter of the accepted standards of learning, are occupying the loftiest seats of knowledge; and the garden of their hearts is adorned, through the showers of divine grace, with the roses of wisdom and the tulips of understanding. Well is it with the sincere in heart for their share of the light of a mighty Day! (Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitáb-i-Íqan, p.

  • The Relation Between Biomedicine and Local Knowledge in Primary Health Care
    UNIVERSITEIT VAN AMSTERDAM Amsterdam Master's in Medical Anthropology, 2007/2008 The relation between biomedicine and local knowledge in primary health care: Experiences and strategies of the Jambi Huasihealth center, in Ecuador THESIS FOR THE AMSTERDAM MASTER'S IN MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY Supervisor: Professor Dr. Stuart Blume By: Maria de Ios Angeles Erazo Pesimtez SUMMARY I ABSTRACT 'This research analyse the relation between biomedicine and local knowledge (which is so­ called traditional indigenous medicine in this research) in primary health, based on the experiences and strategies of the Jambi Huasi health center, located in the Otavalo city, in the Imbabura province, Ecuador. The fieldwork took place from May 26th to July 6th of2008. The problem revealed by this research is that due to cultural and historical reasons, some indigenous people have not received health care in hospitals, clinics and more units of the formal health system (which is based primarily on biomedicine). In order to provide health care especially to those people, the Indigenous and Peasant Federation of Imbabura (FICI, in Spanish) created Jambi Huasi, more than 24 years ago. During the fieldwork, it was possible to realize that there are clear differences of opinion regarding the way in which the biomedicine and traditional indigenous medicine are related. Some interviewed people see collaboration; others, a process of subordination or incorporation of traditional indigenous medicine into a hegemonic biomedical system. The process of "Reference and counter-reference" is one of the practices that the staff of Jambi Huasi has promoted, in order to consolidate the relationship of dialogue, mutual respect and appreciation between biomedical professionals and representatives of traditional indigenous medicine.

  • Libraries, Indigenous Peoples, Identity & Inclusion
    Date : 14/08/2007 Libraries, indigenous peoples, identity & inclusion IFLA Libraries Serving the General Public Section Lic. Edgardo Civallero National University of Córdoba Córdoba – Argentina [email protected] www.thelogofalibrarian.blogspot.com Meeting: 128-4 Division III (4) Simultaneous Interpretation: Yes WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 73RD IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 19-23 August 2007, Durban, South Africa http://www.ifla.org/iv/ifla73/index.htm Abstract Indigenous people represent a demographic majority –as well as a social minority- in Latin America. They form the basis for the cultural diversity of the continent, a diversity made up by hundreds of different languages, customs, religions, literatures and oral traditions. Hardly included in social development –even if they have achieved a great success in several of their struggles- these human groups have been discriminated and left behind by almost every government. Their losses include their mother tongues as well as much of their original culture. And, since they have always transmitted their memories through oral tradition, their history is also being lost. Library services for aboriginal populations are scarcely developed in Latin America, though several interesting proposals exist. Among these ones, the author’s work in NE Argentina included the development of sound collections in little libraries placed at schools, inside native communities. These collections recovered oral tradition and connected it with the curriculum of the school. By means of this recorded material and its full transcription, both in their mother tongue and in Spanish, an important part of the community’s cultural heritage was saved from oblivion and was employed –using the original language- for bilingual intercultural education.
