Indigenous Peoples
In many of the regions where Community Aid Abroad works, the physical link that indigenous people have with their land is under threat, meaning that their spiritual and cultural links are likewise in danger. Rapid economic growth and the effects of globalisation are seriously impacting on many communities around the world who have, until recently, led traditional lifestyles on ancestral lands free from outside interference. Suddenly the demands on their land for agriculture, timber, tourism and mineral development are threatening their cultural identity and their very survival. Many of the issues with which Australians are familiar, through the Wik debate and the "stolen generations" inquiry, resonate in many countries around the world. In the Philippines, Indonesia and India, Community Aid Abroad supports tribal peoples whose livelihood and culture are threatened by transmigration, logging and mining. Here, and in other countries we help indigenous communities build their own organisations so that they have a voice, and they themselves can take on the big companies and governments to defend their interests. Elsewhere, as with the Mayans in Central America, our program also focuses upon "cultural revival". This involves the promotion of customary law, the recovery and documentation of indigenous language, and the preservation of traditional spirituality, the elements which give form and substance to community life.

Our work with Indigenous Peoples in Mexico and Central America
Community Aid Abroad-Oxfam Australia's program in Mexico and Central America aims to support Indigenous Peoples' right to determine their own future in accordance with their own world views. This means supporting Indigenous Peoples' rights to practice traditional or Indigenous forms of authority, customary law and organization; to use their own linguistic systems; to be educated in their mother tongue; to recover the communal lands of which they have been unlawfully dispossessed, and to practice traditional religious beliefs and rites. These rights continue to be denied in Guatemala as Indigenous communities struggle against an inherited colonial power structure and powerful elites that see them as an obstacle to free market economic policies. The Program is committed to supporting Indigenous women's rights in Guatemala through projects that: promote more equitable gender relations, lessen women's workloads, support initiatives to end violence against women and children, address obstacles to women´s full participation in society, and encourage Indigenous women to take up leadership roles. We also support local initiatives designed to ensuring community well-being through income generation projects and environmentally sustainable agricultural production. Community Aid Abroad-Oxfam Australia supports Indigenous Guatemalan organisations in their efforts to: enshrine Indigenous rights in national and international legislation, achieve self-determination, promote the respect for cultural diversity, and speak out against forms of racial or ethnic discrimination. Here are three examples of Community Aid Abroad-Oxfam Australia supports in the region:

Native peoples by the numbers Getting reliable census data can be a problem for targeting support
Anne Deruyttere, chief of the IDB’s Indigenous Peoples and Community Development Unit
By Anne Deruyttere How many indigenous peoples are there in Latin America? The answer to this seemingly straightforward question is far from clear, in large measure because of the difficulties in determining who is indigenous and who is not. Is a person’s status determined by ancestry, purity of lineage, adherence to cultural traditions? Or is a person indigenous simply by claiming to be so? How many indigenous peoples are there in the Americas? Even if reliable census data were available, there is still no universally acceptable answer to the question of who is indigenous. This map represents conservative estimates based on national censuses of varying degrees of accuracy and using different criterias It is not an idle question. If a government undertakes a health or education program targeted at indigenous peoples, it must decide which communities to include. In a project to demarcate indigenous territories, it must determine who will have rights to these lands. Over the years, an international consensus on the definition of indigenous peoples has been formed through the preparation of legal instruments by organizations such as the International Labor Organization, the Organization of the American States and the United Nations. These international covenants define indigenous people as the descendants of the original inhabitants of a geographic region prior to colonization who have maintained some or all of their linguistic, cultural and organizational characteristics. An additional criterion is self-identification.

    Recent Developments in the ILO concerning indigenous and tribal peoples
    Ratifications
    The ILO is responsible for two international Conventions concerning indigenous and tribal peoples. They are Convention No. 107 of 1957 concerning Indigenous and Tribal Populations , and Convention No. 169 of 1989 concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples . Although Convention No. 107 contains a strong protective element, it was revised because its provisions are now considered outdated because of its rather integrationist approach. However, it remains in force for 20 countries, and is often the only element of international protection available. Convention No. 169, which revised Convention No. 107, has been ratified by 13 countries: Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Fiji, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Norway, Netherlands, Paraguay and Peru. Ratification of this Convention is currently under active consideration in a number of other countries.
    Technical assistance
    The practical influence of the ILO Conventions, and in particular Convention No. 169, goes well beyond the number of ratifications. The ILO is heavily involved in technical assistance. To facilitate these efforts within the UN system, inter-agency meetings are held to coordinate technical work among the concerned UN-system organizations and relevant donors. These meetings, held regularly since 1991 and arranged alternatively by the Centre for Human Rights and the ILO, have strengthened inter-agency understanding and cooperation of the different programmes affecting indigenous and tribal peoples.

      Cultural Survival is a non-profit organization founded in 1972 to defend the human rights and cultural autonomy of indigenous peoples and oppressed ethnic minorities. Through research and publications we focus attention on violations of those rights and advocate alternative policies that avoid genocide, ethnic conflict and the destruction of other peoples' ways of life. Cultural Survival develops educational materials that promote tolerance and understanding of other cultures, and respect for indigenous peoples - the world's original stewards of the environment.
    *Very well organized, tightly defined mission and goals. Support a wide array of aid and education projects that involve and benefit local communities directly. Excellent system to match potential donors/volunteers with programs of interest.

    The Indigenous Peoples of the world are the exclusive guardians of large wilderness habitats upon which modern societies depend (plants, animals, climate, water). Their lifestyles are models for the practices of conservation and sustainable consumption of biological resources. Maintaining and understanding the earth's most biologically diverse areas is dependent on maintaining the cultural diversity and integrity of Indigenous peoples who live there.

    Education in the International Decade
    of Indigenous Peoples:
    Bringing education back into the mainstream
    of Indigenous Peoples' lives By Raymundo Rovillos
    They wanted us to go to school
    And to turn the pages of books...
    Why learn the language of books
    When the forest speaks to you?
    One cannot eat books,
    And pens and pencils are poor weapons
    To kill the deer of the mountains 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.

    A QUICHE INDIAN IN THE STRUGGLE FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES RIGHTS My name is Rigoberta Menchú. I am twenty-three years old. This is my testimony. I didn’t learn it from a book and I didn’t learn it alone. I’d like to stress that it’s not only my life, it’s also the testimony of my people. It’s hard for me to remember everything that’s happened to me in my life since there have been many very bad times but, yes, moments of joy as well. The important thing is that what has happened to me has happened to many other people too: My story is the story of all poor Guatemalans. My personal experience is the reality of a whole people." I like reading narratives, the ones that inspire life even from the leaves of a book, like Rigoberta’s, but there is nothing better than meeting Rigoberta in person and being affected by the warmth of the customary como estás and the engaging conversation that proceeds from "and how is my indigenous sister doing?" On Tuesday, April 3, I met Rigoberta for the second time. She was at the Church Center for the United Nations where the United Nations Ministry of the General Board of Church and Society is based. She came to grace a reception for her hosted jointly by the Hague Appeal for Peace and Justice and the United Methodist Office for the UN. She spoke of her passion for justice and peace, especially for the Guatemalan and indigenous peoples.

    Intellectual Property Legislation in Panama
    Since the establishment of what we now know as the "intellectual property system" just over a century ago, indigenous knowledge, which is rich in medicine, art, crafts, music, literature, etc. has been steadily marginalized, simply because it has to do with the collective rights of a people and because it does not have a known author or creator. This legal vacuum could be looked upon as the continuation of an unending genocide inflicted on indigenous peoples from time immemorial. One might think that our culture had been intended solely to give mankind its folklore image, to the extent of being catalogued as the heritage of that same mankind, with no recognition of its true origin. We are living through a period of wholesale plundering or pirating of indigenous knowledge and products without any related benefits for our peoples. For instance, until quite recently the involvement of indigenous botanists and medicine men was considered retrograde in medicine, while today many of medicine's transnational pharmaceutical companies are investing large or smaller amounts of money to gain control of traditional indigenous medicine, and even registering sacred plants as if they have been developed in a laboratory. At the same time indigenous designs are gradually gaining a foothold in fashion and on the runways, but with alien labels or marks that have nothing to do with our peoples.

    Findings
    Frame Conditions
    Guatemala Even in the context of the overall precarious situation of poverty the indigenous population of Guatemala is underprivileged, in rural as well as in urban areas. Government policy in Guatemala shows little commitment to improve the political, economic and social situation of indigenous people in a structured and substantial fashion. Ecuador According to the constitutional reform of 1998, indigenous rights are recognized. Massive violations of indigenous and human rights are not documented. Because of the deep economical and political crisis of the country a general uncertainty of law prevails which, more often than not, favours the economically powerful. The indigenous organisations in the country are among the strongest in Latin America and can readily be mobilized. Bolivia In Bolivia, much has been achieved regarding the formal and juridical ratification of human and indigenous rights. Under the present government the factual implementation of these rights appears to stagnate. To what extent the rule of law is realized could not be approximated.
