  • Indigenous Peoples and Poverty: the Cases of Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua by Birgitte Feiring and MRG Partners
    macro study Indigenous Peoples and Poverty: The Cases of Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua By Birgitte Feiring and MRG partners Executive summary This paper addresses some of the most pressing issues for indigenous peoples in Latin America. It looks at the poverty situation of indigenous peoples in four poor countries in Latin America – Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Despite there being little or no disaggregated data for indige- nous women and men in Latin America, it can easily be concluded that indigenous peoples are disproportionately rep- resented among the poor. Governments and donors, however, have judged indige- nous peoples to be poor without asking indigenous peoples themselves how they see their situation. It may be that meas- ured within the economic parameters of mainstream society, indigenous peoples are among the poorest but the official Poverty Maps do not necessarily reflect the real poverty situa- tion as perceived by indigenous peoples. In some cases, poverty indicators may even reflect a discriminatory disregard for indigenous values as such, whereby expressions of indigenous identity become an indicator of poverty. Due to the current political marginalization, indigenous peoples are largely absent from the planning, design and implementation of development policies and programmes that directly affect their lives and territories. This study explains some of the impacts of this marginalization and offers a path towards an inclusive system of development. This inclusivity is sorely needed – arguably more now than ever – given that international development cooperation is working closer and closer with recipient governments, based on a globalized mainstreaming of tools and methodologies. Development processes are based on national poverty reduc- tion strategies that are oblivious to indigenous peoples’ perception of wealth and poverty, and of the steps that indige- nous peoples would like to take to reduce their poverty.

  • A Cultural Historical Geography of Schools in the Honduran Muskitia
    A CULTURAL HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF SCHOOLS IN THE HONDURAN MUSKITIA By Taylor A. Tappan Submitted to the graduate degree program in the Department of Geography & Atmospheric Science and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Peter H. Herlihy ________________________________ Jerome E. Dobson ________________________________ Stephen L. Egbert Date Defended: 14 December 2015 The Thesis Committee for Taylor A. Tappan certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A CULTURAL HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF SCHOOLS IN THE HONDURAN MUSKITIA ________________________________ Chairperson Peter H. Herlihy Date approved: 14 December 2015 ii ABSTRACT In the geographically isolated Honduran Muskitia region, schools have represented a contested space through which both the Honduran government and Miskitu communities have struggled for territorial identity. Schools are functional spaces through which social interaction strengthens Miskitu cultural boundaries, norms, and identities. The historical development of education in this isolated indigenous region is paradoxical in that early state initiatives were designed to provide education for Miskitu communities while simultaneously excluding their indigenous cultural identities. However, schools’ historical impact on Miskitu territoriality has received little attention from scholars. The primary objective of this research is to understand 1) the origin and diffusion of schools in the Muskitia region; and 2) the impact of schools on Miskitu territoriality. This thesis brings into question whether the geographic inaccessibility of Muskitia and recurrent state failures to provide baseline education there ultimately contributed to the preservation of Miskitu language and territorial identity. My research aims to fill a gap in existing cultural historical scholarship by examining schools as contested spaces of linguistic identity through which the Miskitu v.
