http://www.pbs.org/weekendexplorer/newmexico/ruidoso/ruidoso_anglos.htm

Extractions: As more Anglos entered New Mexico the Navajo and Apache watched their hunting grounds turn into farmland, threatening their way of life. This pushed them to attack settlements throughout New Mexico . In 1864, the US Army sent General James Carleton to subdue the native peoples. In turn he assigned legendary mountain man Colonel Christopher "Kit" Carson. Carson was told to imprison all of the women and children and to shoot native men on sight. Carson had lived among the American Indians for many years and spoke several different Native American languages. Carson attacked the Mescalero Apaches. After three months of brutal fighting, the Apaches surrendered. Carson sent them to the Bosque Redondo Reservation on the Pecos River . Carson then burned the cornfields and killed the live stock of the Navajo. On the edge of starvation, they surrendered. Carson went against orders and spared the lives of the men. But he herded the entire tribe of 7,000 across the state to Bosque Redondo 300 miles away. The Navajo had few blankets and less food and hundreds died along the way of what the Navajo came to call the "Long Walk". Bosque Redondo was a disaster, since the land was too dry to grow crops. After a couple of years the federal government admitted the mistake and let the Navajo return to their traditional lands in Northwestern New Mexico where they continue to live today.

Extractions: Nearly 2,000 indigenous peoples from all over Brazil are organizing a convergence on Santa Cruz da Cabralia in April 2000 to counter the governmentâs planned celebration of the "discovery" of Brazil. Caravans will leave from each part of the country and head toward Bahia on the east coast of Brazil where in 1549, Portuguese conquistador Pedro Alvar Cabral landed his ship in search of gold, slaves, and Christian converts. Indigenous March 2000 will culminate in the Conference of Indigenous Peoples and Organizations in Coroa Vermelha, Bahia, where proposals for "another 500 years" will be presented. Organizers say more than 70,000 non-Indian protesters, many from Brazilâs radical landless movement, will join in. The march symbolizes indigenous resistance and the struggle for the rights historically denied to them. Numerous committees have been formed across Brazil under the banner of "Brazil: 500 Years of Indigenous, Black and Popular Resistance," to mobilize the Brazilian public and reflect on the new forms of colonialism fed by the media. In Brazil alone, the estimated native population was 5,000,000, belonging to 1,000 tribes, before Cabral arrived. By 1560, 11 years after he landed on the shores of Bahia, 40,000 indigenous peoples were enslaved and working on plantations. Today, according to Survival, a UK-based human rights organization, there are only 330,000 native peoples divided into about 210 tribes, largely because of centuries of disease, slavery, violence, starvation and suicide.

Extractions: Falls Church, Virginia Abstract 1. Introduction In his famous dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. U.S., 277 U.S. 438 (1928) , Justice Louis Brandeis called the right to be let alone "the most comprehensive of rights and the right most cherished by civilized men." Justice Brandeis's ruling could just as easily apply to the right of indigenous peoples to be let alone from intrusive central government "development" and surveillance programs. The increasing use of satellites to survey lands and oceans for natural resources comes at the expense of many indigenous peoples to freely conduct various activities on their ancestral lands. Many indigenous tribes maintain a certain kinship with the territory upon which they live. This kinship runs deep and in some cases has an important religious significance for the people concerned. 2. Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and Indigenous Lands Indian leaders contend that those who operate GISs must be sensitive to the traditions surrounding their lands. Many Indian tribes feel that certain data must remain private and not be released to the general public. Data security and privacy controls therefore become problematic. Tribal officials such as the Colville Confederacy leadership feel that certain data cannot be treated as regular data. Information on hunting and gathering areas has a spiritual significance for the Indians that is perhaps unappreciated by statisticians in cold, gray and distant computer rooms (Marchand and Winchell, 1994, 51).

Extractions: Central America and southern Mexico's forests and marine resources have been dwindling for decades. Now there's evidence that the scope of destruction depends on who uses the land and water. A new map shows that natural ecosystems have a better chance of survival when indigenous people inhabit them. Mapmakers working with the Center for the Support of Native Lands, in Arlington, Virginia, and the National Geographic Society, in Washington, D.C., gathered data for 15 months for the landmark project. They superimposed a map of indigenous territories on another one showing forest cover and marine ecosystems. The new map reveals a strong correlation between indigenous presence and the survival of natural ecosystems.

Extractions: Peoples Arturo Horta, originally from Mexico City, tried to be a "cross-cultural" missionary. The experience made him a firm believer in the effectiveness of indigenous missionaries! Pastor Arturo Horta Arturo Horta was born into a Roman Catholic family. He was a devout Catholic himself until his teenage years, when he started exploring communist beliefs and fell into vices like alcohol and marijuana use. Then at age 19 friends at school told him about the Lord, and he accepted Christ. Sensing the Lords call, he left a good job in Mexico City, and moved to rural Nayarit, a big change from the city life he had known. As a missionary working with the Baptists, he planted many churches in the region. Then Horta felt called to work among indigenous peoples. When his support was withdrawn, he started an independent ministry. Desiring to reach the unreached Cora tribe with the gospel but knowing nothing of their language, customs or way of life, he took his family to live among them. The three years he spent learning the Cora language and culture convinced him that a Cora missionary would be much more effective in leading Cora tribal people to Christ. Nevertheless, a mutual love developed. Horta planted a church in Ruiz, a city of 12,000. Then he started

Extractions: Chiapas, Mexico In an exclusive interview with Herman Bellinghausen (published November 25th in La Jornada ), (EZLN Sub-Commander) Marcos was asked to comment on what he thought the impact of the passage and fulfillment of the Agreements of San Andres would be on the EZLN's (Ejercito Zapatista de Liberación Nacional) plans to become a political force. Here Marcos made what Bellinghausen calls a "profound recognition" of the maturity of the Independent Indigenous Movement. "It will be thanks to them that the Zapatistas might see one of their dreams accomplished: that the agreements negotiated through peaceful means have a national impact and be able to benefit, in first instance, the indigenous people of the entire Mexican Nation." Extremely important in terms of strategy is Marcos's statement that he hopes certain sectors of government "among them the (Mexican) Army" recognize and are sensitive to the debt owed to the indigenous peoples by the Mexican Nation "even though they don't put it forward in radical terms." Marcos adds that the EZLN is not just after the inclusion of these agreements into the constitution but mainly after their implementation. Marcos then credits the fact that the EZLN made the right choice of democratic method when it opened up the process of negotiations to those that were directly affected. He said that on this table of negotiations we cannot be the only ones to talk: we have to invite and sit with all those that have to talk on this issue. The EZLN methodology flowed from the reality that the indigenous problems were not ones between the EZLN and the government but between the government and the people that should participate.

Extractions: As a complement to the human rights and the environment campaign, indigenous peoples on four continents released a joint Earth Day Solidarity Statement calling for a global transition to clean energy. The indigenous peoples' Solidarity Statement, which contains a personal account from each of the groups signing the statement, demands energy free of blood and environmental destruction. Public release of the Solidarity Statement took place on April 16 in New York at an indigenous peoples' event at the ninth session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development. The release of the statement was accompanied by indigenous activities across the world for Earth Day, including traditional gatherings in four cultural regions of Indonesia, exposure of the militarization of oil zones in indigenous territories of Ecuador, and the promotion of solar energy as an alternative to firewood in indigenous forest communities in Nigeria. Indigenous Earth Day Indigenous issues were a main focus of Earth Day events this year in Mexico City, due to Zapatista movement leader Sub-commandant Marcos' historical visit with Mexico's President to negotiate a peace accord, and the Indigenous Cultural Act that was recently signed into law by the Mexican Congress. Indigenous groups from around the country met to discuss unification of indigenous communities in the Americas. On Earth Day, at the ruins of the Baths of Moctezuma in Bosque Chapultepec, traditional ceremonies starting at dawn were held by indigenous leaders who spent the day discussing how to better treat the environment and debating the Indigenous Cultural Act. One week after Earth Day, indigenous groups marched from the famous Museum of Anthropology to the sculpture of Quetzalcoatl (God of the Eagle and Serpent) in Plaza de la Constitucin to pay homage to Mother Earth with dance and prayer.

Extractions: June 11 Mexico's 'Modern Right' By Justin Podur In March, while they were on the March of Indigenous Dignity, on their way to Mexico City to press for the passage of the law on indigenous rights and culture, the Zapatistas berated the 'hardliners' in the government who called them terrorists and threatened to imprison them. They weren't cowed: they were already in prison, they said, so why fear jail? They were already dead, so why fear death? But they weren't impressed, either: 'Why are they so afraid of an unarmed march?' they asked. 'Haven't they noticed, we no longer call ourselves 'comrade', but 'brother' and 'sister'? If they want a modern left, they should learn to be a modern right.' It was too much to ask, of course. They had to threaten to leave before they got the chance, but the Zapatistas had their say in front of the Congress in the end. They argued for the cocopa indigenous law, crafted over years of negotiations and completed in 1996. The law features autonomy and free determination, indigenous peoples as 'subjects of public right', the free use of natural resources, election of municipal authorities, the right to regional association and organization, and autonomy in matters of justice. Those who argued against the law said it would 'balkanize' Mexico. It would institutionalize the exclusion of indigenous people.

Extractions: And the grunting boar... This poem aptly illustrates one of the issues raised by Indigenous Peoples against the system of education that was imposed on them by colonial and neo-colonial powers. It is a biting indictment of an educational system that is perceived as unsuitable to their needs. Indeed, Indigenous Peoples in many parts of the world identify education as a crucial factor in the historical process of their marginalization. The process started at the onset of western colonization and was carried over by nation-states after decolonization. A Handmaiden of Assimilation In their attempt to consolidate colonial power, and later, nation-states, the ruling elite imposed a policy of assimilation nay westernization. This policy was implemented by missionaries and schools that they set up in Indigenous communities. This resulted in the virtual obliteration of most of the Indigenous Peoples way of life their cultural practices, traditions, arts, languages. Some elements of their culture, those that were deemed acceptable to the "moral" (i.e., western, Christian and patriarchal) standards of the colonizers and ruling elite, were integrated into the dominant national culture.

We begin by examining the concept of a "Fourth World." Who are indigenous peoples and how have they been categorized in relation to "ethnic groups," colonization, and the international system of states? We examine current debates within the United Nations about indigenous peoples and human rights. We take a look at law and economics of colonialism and emerging issues of globalization. We explore the relationship of law and custom. Reading materials include fiction and non-fiction approaches to these themes.

Extractions: STATEMENT BY MRS. MELBA PRIA, DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE INDIGENOUS MEXICAN NATIONAL INSTITUTE, ITEM 107 "PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES OF THE INTERNATIONAL DECADE OF THE WORLD'S INDIGENOUS PEOPLE". 53RD SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY Third Committee (Social and Humanitarian Affairs) New York, 28 October 1998 Mr. Chairman, All over today's world, alongside the great changes in the political and economic system and the technological revolution, a vigorous phenomenon is taking place which involves an explosion of collective identities demanding their right to be recognized, maintained and developed and in so doing, they are seeking the transformation of the entire structure of society, thus challenging globalization and cosmopolitanism, in the name of cultural uniqueness and people's control over their own lives and surroundings. The forms this phenomenon takes are many and varied, and are shaped by each culture and by the historical sources of the formation of each identity. Mexico's Constitution recognizes the multicultural composition of the nation, and legislative reforms are currently under way, associated with the National Consultation on Indigenous Rights and Participation, which made it possible to compile and organize the proposals of the indigenous peoples with respect to the recognition of their specific rights. With a view to recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples within Mexico's legal system, processes are under way at two levels, one nation-wide under the jurisdiction of the federal Government and the other at the state level under the jurisdiction of the state government. On the first level, there are four initiatives for constitutional reform with respect to indigenous rights and culture which are currently being studied, analysed and debated in Congress; where the second level is concerned, 15 state Constitutions have incorporated principles contained in article 4 of the Federal Political Constitution in line with the socio-cultural characteristics of the peoples in each State.
