Extractions: The Conference will examine the means by which Latin American indigenous peoples are gaining ground within the neo-liberal state in the context of globalisation. Papers will examine the processes of struggle, dialogue or, in Sarah Radcliffes words, entanglement, between indigenous peoples and the state, over the definition and control of political, institutional, cultural, social, and environmental terrains. To what extent have indigenous peoples been able to influence the definition of these terrains, i.e. to what extent are they gaining ground? Or, up to what point has the state been able to subvert their claims and preclude meaningful change? Themes of the Conference: ·Intersections between identity, territoriality and legal rights ·Indigenous peoples and constitutional reform ·Indigenous peoples and human rights ·The culturalisation and/or ethnicisation of politics ·Indigenous people and biodiversity ·Indigenous languages, culture and intercultural education programmes
Mexico Supreme Court Upholds Flawed Rights Law

Extractions: - Central America/Mexico - Statement by Mexican human rights and social organizations issued September 6, shortly after learning the Supreme Courts decision Supreme Court of Mexico upholds flawed law on indigenous rights It seems that the humiliation that we have suffered for five hundred years is not enough... Many things have happened to offend and humiliate us. The Supreme Courts rejection leaves us deeply worried and on the edge of despair - Indigenous leader Amador Cortés Robledo, upon hearing of the decision of the Supreme Court of Mexico upholding the constitutionality of the law on indigenous rights passed by the Mexican Congress in 2001. By Karen Rothschild The law on indigenous rights has been the subject of 320 legal complaints presented to the Mexico Supreme Court by local government authorities from indigenous municipalities in Oaxaca and other states. These legal challenges focused on the process through which Congress had passed the law - particularly the lack of consultation with those most affected, the indigenous peoples of Mexico. (The principal international agreement protecting the rights of indigenous peoples, Article 20 of ILO Covenant 169, stipulates that indigenous peoples have the right to participate fully ... in devising legislative ...measures that may affect them) They also pointed out a number of anomalies in how state legislatures voted on the constitutional reform.

Extractions: These deliberations are taking place in the context of a very conflictive situation in Chiapas and an evident impasse with regard to any possibility of negotiations between the Fox government and the Zapatistas. Scarcely a week passes without reports from the Zapatista autonomous municipalities recounting continued harassment by Mexican army personnel as well as threats and acts of violence by the (still not disbanded) paramilitary groups. Just this week, it has been reported that the Network of Community Human Rights Defenders has appealed to the National Human Rights Commission to investigate the behaviour of the federal army in relation to the indigenous communities of Chiapas. What follows is the text that was sent to us by SIPAZ. We apologize for not having an e-mail address for the Supreme Court and trust that you will be able to fax your response to this very important appeal. SIPAZ has sent a model letter in Spanish, which you may wish to use. (For the reference of people who do not read Spanish, they have included an English translation of the letter.)

Extractions: NATIONAL PROFILE OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF MEXICO INTRODUCTION 1. The discovery of the Americas in the sixteenth century revealed to the European invaders two great civilizations: the Inca in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Mesoamerican in the Northern Hemisphere. The latter was characterized, until colonization began, by all the elements commonly associated with "advanced civilizations." These included a great concentration of sedentary populations; sophisticated political organization of hierarchical states; intensive agriculture; monumental constructions including temples, and civil structures; a great tradition of sculpture and pictorial art; hieroglyphic writing; the use of sophisticated calendars, and; mathematical computation. It also included a variety of social classes, centralized religious systems with priestly castes. 2. To the north of this Mesoamerican civilization, was the zone of hunters and gatherers, known as arid-America. In this zone, with desert ecology, its inhabitants successfully adapted to the limited resource base and harsh environment through a primarily nomadic economy, with a low demographic density and limited sedentarized settlements. In contrast to the Mesoamerican civilizations, they had a relatively simple social and political structure; a low level of technological development and simple knowledge of architecture as well as relatively unsophisticated artistic, religious and intellectual expressions.

Extractions: One Eyed Children NATIONAL PROFILE OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF MEXICO LOCATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF MEXICO 1. Since colonial times, there has been a great debate over the definition of who is indigenous. When the Europeans came into contact with the native populations, they ascribed the category of indios to those groups and peoples who maintained their own identity and cultural specificity. This presumed a category of people who were different and inferior from a racial, cultural, linguistic, intellectual and religious viewpoint and served to justify and rationalize the colonial domination and the privileged position of the conquerors. This categorization constituted an annulment of the ethnic diversity and cultural specificity of the Indian population and by so doing cut off any possibilities for self-development or endogenous cultural evolution. 2. By virtue of this categorization as indios the indigenous peoples have continued to exist as colonial constructs linked to ethnic cultures that are considered inferior to the culture of the dominant order, and excluded from the nations normal life. The construction of an inclusive and democratic society would result in a gradual dissolution of the categories formed during the colonial period, and to the recognition of cultural and ethnic diversity, with a concomitant elimination of the existing prejudices of racial superiority.

There is a great amount of ethnographic information available for each of Mexicos indigenous groups. This national profile, drawing on this information, confirms the fact that these indigenous populations continue to be the powerless in a system of asymmetric power relations characterized by inequities, injustice, and the exclusion of the indigenous population.

http://www.ciesas.edu.mx/bibdf/ini/nacional/english/03_history.html

Extractions: 1. There is an abundance of documentation concerning the history of indigenous populations of Mexico prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. These documents were constructed from information about the groups with whom the Spaniards had the most contact and focus on the life and governance of these groups. In comparison, relatively little is known of the hunters and gatherers that for most of the colonial period occupied a marginal position relative to the central political scheme. These peoples, located in the arid part of America, were relegated to colonization by religious missionary orders. The Spanish colonization machine with its array of bureaucrats and administrators was first established in the Mesoamerican region because of its geo-political importance as a central area for decision-making and development of the colonial society. 2. What is commonly known as the Aztec Empire consisted of 38 provinces which paid tribute, and the Empire was, in reality, a rather loose confederation of city-states with different political systems and situations. This confederation of city-states encompassed many different ethnic groups and a diverse array of languages. The cities in the central region consisted of primarily Nahuatl and Otomi speaking populations. To the northeast were the Huastecos, Totonacas, and Mazatecos. To the southeast the Mixtecos, Zapotecos. To the south the Mayas. To the southeast the Tlapanecas and Cuitlatecas. To the west the Mazahuas and the Matlazincas.
Indigenous Law Denounced

Extractions: lawg@lawg.org Latin America Working Group Legislative Update Publications Employment Participating Organizations INDIGENOUS LAW DENOUNCED IN MEXICO The Mexican Congress approved a modified version of the Law on Indigenous Rights and Culture at the end of April, the remaining Zapatista demand before peace talks with the government could resume. However, the Zapatistas and many indigenous rights and civil society groups across the country have denounced the version of the law passed by the Congress because it does not meet the demands of Mexico's indigenous peoples. The Zapatistas have since cut off dialogue with the government and vowed to continue their rebellion in Chiapas. Other Zapatista pre-conditions to peace talks, which were met by the government, included the closure of key military bases in Chiapas and the release of a number of Zapatista political prisoners. The Indigenous Law was originally proposed by the COCOPA (Commission on Concordance and Pacification) in 1996, as a way to implement the San Andres Accords between the Zapatistas and the Mexican government. However, it was never submitted to the Congress by former President Ernesto Zedillo. President Fox made submission of the proposal to Congress one of his first acts upon taking office in December. The law is intended as a constitutional amendment.

A first-cut video was shown which documented this experience. In it two young Indigenous Mexicans involved in environmental management within their own communities were invited learn about co-management by the Inuit community of lnuvik. They were accompanied by one Mexican government official and one Canadian government official interested in working with communities on shared environmental issues. In lnuvik the visitors observed the Inuvialuit Game Council and the Wildlife Management Advisory Council in action as they dealt with the environmental management of a large area of the Western Arctic. Positive comments were made.

THEY FOUND THEM SELVES AMONG THE KARANKAWAS OR RELATED PEOPLES , AND DE VACA CHRONICLED HIS EXPERIENCES. HE REMAINED WITH THE INDIANS FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE REACHING MEXICO CITY IN 1536. The exact route of the ill-fated expedition of Pánfilo de Narvaéz and its survivors is uncertain. Álvar Núñez de Vaca, the expedition's treasurer, was shipwrecked somewhere between Isla de Malhado (the Isle of Misfortune, or Galveston Island) and the Brazos River. These two maps were taken from The Odyssey of Cabeza de Vaca, by Morris Bishop (The Century Co., New York, 1933). With no formal training, the 38-year old Spanish soldier brought new rudimentary medical knowledge to the Karankawas and quickly became respected for his treatment of minor wounds and illnesses. The Chinese ink wash drawing above, by Tom Lea, is entitled "Cabeza de Vaca Performing the First Recorded Surgical Operation on the North American Continent," and is in the Blocker History of Medicine Collections of the Moody Medical Library, The University of Texas Medical Center.The documents to the left deal with De Vaca's problems in later life, when he was appointed governor of provinces in Paraguay. A colonists' revolt, shortly after his arrival, was blamed on him by a former corrupt governor and De Vaca was sent home in disgrace on trumped-up charges. The Spanish Council of the Indies exiled him to jail in North Africa.
