Palabras de acogida de la Alcaldesa de Ginebra Sandrine Salerno, al Palazo Eynard 224 Introduction and methodology This document is a provisional transcription of the debates that took place at the Symposium. Each intervention is presented in its original language. Two other versions (one in English and one in Spanish) will be later published along with the sections in indigenous languages, which will also be translated. On proposal of the Aymara historian from Bolivia, Carlos Mamami, and following the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues’ recommendation 073, the Symposium was organized by an indigenous Organizing Committee comprised of Willie Littlechild, Oren Lyons, Bill Means, José Carlos Morales and Mike Myers, all of whom attended the first Conference on Indigenous Peoples at the UN, in 19771, as well as of Carlos Mamami. Docip acted as the secretariat of the Symposium and included Pierrette Birraux, David Matthey-Doret and Fabrice Perrin. Among the 70 attendees, 30 senior Indigenous delegates – most of whom participated at the 1977 Conference - addressed the situation and expectations of their peoples at that time; the experience of their first visit to Geneva; international solidarity; the consequences of the Cold War context on the issues and outcomes of the 1977 Conference; the Treaties with States; the obstacles encountered while promoting the rights of their peoples and how they overcame them; the role of spirituality, women and the UN in the fight for recognition and for their rights; the achievements and failures of the process, as well as examples of successful practices; and future prospects for the younger generation. The Symposium also laid the foundation for an assessment of the first 35 years of this international process and its impact at the local level. The first stage of the organizing involved searching for the addresses of the elders of the Americas that participated at the 1977 Conference and of those elders from the other regions that came to the UN for the first time. It was an arduous task that remains incomplete. Seven young persons were then chosen by the elders of each region. In order to counterpart the fact that the Organizing Committee was exclusively comprised of men, the group was made up of six young women and a young man. Before the Symposium, they were trained in video recording and editing, as they were asked to film the whole event, to interview the elders and to prepare a video on their memory. They were also entrusted with the responsibility of recording the memory of the elders from their regions for the following three years. For this purpose, they received a video camera. At the moment, three tasks have been concluded or are on the way of being concluded: . a documentary2 elaborated by the young participants, entitled: “Bridge to the Future: Indigenous youth document the achievements of the First Indigenous Peoples’ Delegates at the United Nations”; . the transcription of the entire debates; and . a quadrilingual illustrated publication (English, Spanish, French and Russian), which will include historic documents and photos, as well as First Delegates' interventions during the Symposium. Concerning, the transcription, we respected as much as possible the participants' oral expression in order to produce a document which would serve as an historical reference. The footnotes have been added by Docip. 1 International Conference on Discrimination against Indigenous Populations in the Americas. Geneva, September 1977. 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqtyUrPqQDs&feature=share Introducción y metodología Este documento es una transcripción provisional de los debates que tuvieron lugar durante el Simposio. Cada intervención se presenta en su lengua original. Posteriormente, dos versiones más (una en inglés y otra en español) serán publicadas junto con las secciones en lenguas indígenas, las cuales también serán traducidas. A propuesta del historiador aymara de Bolivia Carlos Mamami y de conformidad con la recomendación 073 del Foro Permanente de las Naciones Unidas sobre Cuestiones Indígenas, un comité indígena de organización se ocupó de preparar el Simposio. Además de Carlos Mamami, formaron parte del Comité Willie Littlechild, Oren Lyons, Bill Means, José Carlos Morales y Mike Myers, quienes, en 1977, participaron en la primera Conferencia sobre Pueblos Indígenas en las Naciones Unidas3. Docip, representado por Pierrette Birraux, David Matthey-Doret y Fabrice Perrin, fungió como secretariado técnico del Simposio. En presencia de 70 participantes, 30 delegados indígenas mayores (de los cuales la mayoría participó en la primera Conferencia sobre Pueblos Indígenas en las Naciones Unidas) discutieron sobre la situación y las expectativas de sus pueblos en ese entonces; la experiencia de su primera visita a Ginebra; la solidaridad internacional; las consecuencias del contexto de la Guerra Fría sobre las cuestiones discutidas en y los resultados de la Conferencia de 1977; los Tratados con Estados; los obstáculos que se han presentado en el marco de la promoción de los derechos de sus pueblos y las maneras en que los han superado; el papel de la espiritualidad, las mujeres y las Naciones Unidas en la lucha por el reconocimiento y por sus derechos; los logros y fracasos del proceso, así como ejemplos de prácticas exitosas; y los prospectos a futuro para la generación joven. Asimismo, el Simposio sentó las bases para evaluar los primeros 35 años de este proceso internacional y el impacto que ha tenido en el ámbito local.
