</i></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN"><b>Considering</b>:</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN">That we as
Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala have resisted and will continue to resist with
dignity and in peace, in accord with our paradigm of Living with Wellness,
taking collective actions to fight against the violation of our rights brought
about by the historical and systematic exclusion by the states and the dominant
society. Given this, we reaffirm the
validity of our own laws, of international treaties such as the ILO Convention
169, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and of relevant national
laws, and thus we reject all forms of exclusion and discrimination by the
States who have a moral obligation to implement our recognized rights.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN">That the
neoliberal economic model which currently is the only paradigm under which the
majority of governments are implementing, and which the others cannot escape,
has imposed policies of theft and looting of the commons in our territories
(land, water, forests, biodiversity, oceans, air and our traditional knowledge)
through legal mechanisms such as Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and Bilateral
Investment Treaties (BITs), legal contracts with multinational companies such
as for example the recent threat against the sovereignty of Indigenous Peoples
under negotiations known as the “Agreement of the Alliance of the Pacific”.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN">This new
neoliberal economic project, through successive national governments who have
radicalized their extractive economic policies in alliance with multinational
companies backed by national oligarchies, is subsidizing the continuation of
the capitalist model. Furthermore, these
policies have militarized territories, protest is criminalized and
mobilizations of Indigenous Peoples and social sectors are penalized with
repression, persecution, prosecution of authorities and Indigenous and
community leaders, producing an State policy aiming to guarantee the institutional
support for looting and predation.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN">This predator
model of irrational exploitation has endangered life of all beings on the
planet and the government states have made evident that they do not have
policies or strategies to effectively counteract the impacts of climate change
and its effects. Instead however, the
prevailing economic interests pretend to consider carbon as a commodity, and
now they want to create a fund to put our forests on the market via the REDD
program. Furthermore, in an effort to solve
their crisis by shifting the climate burden towards our territories, they they have
agreed on the concept of "green economy" and the marketing of the
beauty of our mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, traditional knowledge and
conservation areas, such as the territory of Uncontacted Peoples, thus rendering
our territories and the living environment of all beings ever more vulnerable,
without consultation or consent of our people, deepening the exclusion under
which we are forced to live.</span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN">The neoliberal
policy is in a generalized structural crisis. The crisis is economic and
environmental, it involves climate, energy, food, and the migration of
thousands of human beings as never before in history, with the accompaning loss
of social morality, and yet still the alternatives proposed are based on the
free market principles and further privatization in order to bring salvation
from the crisis. And so in response the
Indigenous Movement intends to strengthen our alternative economy of Living
with Wellness (Sumak Kawsay), building upon our community economies, which
should be recognized, strengthened, and exercised by all Peoples, and so strive
to establish this indigenous economic model as state policy alternative to
post-neoliberalism.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN">That the Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala, exercising self-determination, having
met in the Territory of the Indigenous Reserve of La Maria Piendamó, Cauca
[Colombia] land of peace, coexistence, dialogue and negotiation, with the
participation of more than four thousand delegates of Indigenous Peoples,
Nations of Abya Yala, and after three days of discussion and debate about our
situations, we formulated our proposals, we have exchanged our experiences in
order to continue strengthening ourselves at the local, national, continental
and global levels, and guided by our traditional spirituality and the wisdom of
our elders, <i><b>WE RESOLVE</b></i>:</span></span></span></div>

as a space of coexistence, dialogue and negotiation between Indigenous peoples
and the State of Colombia; we affirm that here in La Maria Piendamó has flourished
the word, a spirit of coexistence and dialogue between a diversity of cultures
that we have encountered in the V Indigenous Summit, but we can not help to
feel outrage at the assasination of two Indigenous brothers during the the V
Summit, and we call for peace to come to Colombia and to all Indigenous Peoples
of the world.</span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2. To ratify

struggles in diverse national and global arenas which represent how the We the Peoples
continue on the path of fighting for dignity and in defense of Mother Earth, struggles

the Indigenous, social and popular Minga in Colombia under the leadership of
Indigenous Peoples grouped under the National Indigenous Organization of
Colombia (ONIC) and the agrarian strike directed against the damaging impacts

Dialogue process initiated in Cuba between the government of Colombia and the
FARC; we urge the parties to include in this process the participation,
proposals and aspirations of Indigenous Peoples within a framework of social
justice to ensure an effective peace for all people.</span></span></span></div>

and salute the collective and judicial actions taken by the Indigenous Peoples
of the Amazon of Ecuador in their fight against the oil company Chevron-Texaco
for environmental pollution and its social, territorial and cultural impacts. The decision of the National Court of Justice
ratifies payment for damage caused, a decision which we demand compliance and
enforcement of the judgment. We call on
all Indigenous Peoples of the continent and the world to take legal and
collective actions in defense of territory and life, taking as reference the
jurisprudence established under the National Court of Justice of Ecuador and
the Interamerican Court of Human Rights.</span></span></span></div>

where the States will present their reports and will analyze the application of
the "UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples". The V Summit states that those attending should
be legitimate representatives of territorial organizations of representation of
our Nations and Pueblos, so we call on the organizers of the UN to accredit
unrestrictedly, so that the proposals elaborated before, during and after the V

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Presently in Canada the issue of aboriginal rights, Indian
title, and land claims by the Indian people are issues that to the people of
Canada are major concerns. These issues are of a major concern not only because
if recognized as legitimate and legal it means the</span><span style="font-size: large;"> payment of large sums of money by the people of Canada to
the Natives of this country, but they also have implications for the
development and exploitation of the natural resources, especially oil and gas,
and for the ecology. But so far, neither the Canadian Government
nor the people at large have come to grips with these issues. It is probably more correct to say that they
do not want to come to grips with them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The courts of Canada have had several opportunities to deal
with aboriginal rights, but not unlike the government, they too have avoided
dealing directly the issues. They find one technicality or another to dismiss a
case.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In regards to land, aboriginal rights includes native title,
and land claims almost exclusively deals with the issue of native title. In this short paper, the writer will attempt
to present a concept of native title for purposes of educating these people who
are in a position to do something about these issues.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Three recent court decisions have attempted to deal with
native title: <i>Calder v. Attorney General
of British Colombia<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">[1]</span></span></span></span></i>,
referred in layman's terms as the “Nishga Case”; <i>Kanatewat v. James Bay Development Corporation<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">[2]</span></span></span></span></i>,
and its sequel, <i>James Bay Development
Corporation v. Kanatewat<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">[3]</span></span></span></span></i>,
better known as the James Bay Cases; and <i>Re
Paulette and the Registrar of Land Titles<span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="font-size: small;">[</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="font-size: small;">4]</span></span></span></span></i>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In the Calder case, the Supreme Court of Canada held against
the Nishga Indians of British Columbia. Their holding was to the effect that if
the Nishgas had title, this title had long ago been extinguished by adverse
acts on the part of the British Crown. The Court also reasoned that Indian
title does not exist independent of legislation recognizing it. But the court
did not define Native Title.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At the superior court level of the James Bay cases, the
judge held that Indians had aboriginal title. But the Quebec Court of Appeals
reversed the superior court's decision and in essence held that there is no
such thing as aboriginal title. They
reasoned that no treaties had ever been signed in the James Bay area, therefore,
no Native title exists. But this of
course, is ridiculous because treaties are a means of extinguishing Indian
title and not a means of creating it. But both courts did not define Indian title.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the Paulette case the judge, in handing down his decision
on whether the Indians of the Northwest Territories could lodge a caveat in
regards to the land they were claiming, held that arguably the Indians had a
legally recognizable interest in the land in spite of the fact that the area
claimed was covered by a treaty<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">[5]</span></span></span></span></i>. He reasoned that the Treaty could not be
interpreted as a total surrender and should be looked at as a peace and
friendship treaty. At the Court of
Appeals level, again, the lower court's decision was reversed. The Court of Appeals in essence held that a
caveat could not he lodged against a sovereign without its permission. Here
again the court did not define Native title.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Important as these decisions are and the implications they
have for aboriginal rights in Canada, the single most important decision is <i>St. Catherine’s Milling and Lumber Co. v.
The Queen<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">[6]</span></span></span></span></i>,
handed down by the Privy Council. The
Council held “that the tenure of the Indians as a personal and usufructuary
right, dependent on the goodwill of the sovereign”; that there has been all
along vested in the Crown a substantial and paramount estate, underlying the
Indian’s title, which became a plenum, dominium whenever that title was
surrendered or otherwise extinguished”. In
other words, the British Crown, prior to the discovery of North America, has
always had title to the lands in North America in an a priori sense. The result of <i>the St. Catherine’s Milling and Lumber Co</i>. case is that the British,
by simply setting foot on North America and planting a rag attached to a pole
on the shores, acquired the title to Indian lands.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This ritual, i.e. the coming ashore and the planting of a
flag and the claiming of the land for the Monarch, is sometimes referred to as
"Discovery". The Doctrine of Discovery is one justification for claiming
fee simple title to lands in North America.
But the doctrine has</span><span style="font-size: large;"> been abused, misconstrued, and misinterpreted by the white
man. Chief Justice Marshall of the
United States Supreme Court, and one of the first to use the Concept or
Discovery in his</span><span style="font-size: large;"> decisions, said in the <i>Johnson
and Graham’s lessee v. Mc’Intosh</i> <span style="font-family: Cambria;">case</span><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">[7]</span></span></span></span></i>
that discovery was a doctrine meant to apply to the European powers for their
own orderly conduct in dealing with the aboriginal people of North America. Hence, discovery was not meant to apply to
the Indians. It was not meant to mean fee
simple ownership. To the contrary discovery
can be analogized to a ‘business franchise’.
Just as a business franchise gives exclusive rights to the owner of the
franchise to enter into business relations with people, within the geographic
area of the franchise, discovery was meant to give a European power which came
to the shores of North America the exclusive right to deal with the Indians
whose territory covered or included the particular area discovered by a
European power. A right to deal with
people certainly does not give ownership to their property. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before moving on, the writer would like to consider two
separate but not unrelated fundamental questions. Firstly, in regards to the reasoning of the
Privy Council in the St. Catherine’s Milling and Lumber Co. case, the writer
would like to ask, “What is property?” Most authorities would define property
to be the relationship that people have about a thing. Taking this definition and applying it to the
statement by the Privy Council that the Crown has always had underlying title
to the lands in question how is it possible to have a relationship about a thing,
in this case, land, which a people do not know exists?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In regards to the doctrine of discovery, it interpreted as
giving fee simple ownership, rather than being in the nature of a franchise, then
should not the doctrine have a geographic limitation, in the same way that the
Royal Proclamation of 1763 has been held not to apply to <i>terra incognita</i>?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When it come to the consideration of Native title, most
authorities reason that Indians have no concept of property ownership and
therefore, how could they have title? But
this is nonsense! It is high time the
Government and the Courts stop using as premises false reasonings such as “personal
and usufructuary right dependent on the good will of the sovereign" for <i>stare decisis</i> sake. At one time reasonings such as were forwarded
in the St.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Catherine's Milling and Lumber Co. case may have held water
and we can, at least, give them the benefit of the doubt because people
probably did not know any better. But we know better today, and we know
different. At least, we claim to be one
of the most advanced societies this world has ever known. It is time we put out intelligence to work in
a way that will do justice to our claim!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In order to understand the property concepts of any society,
one must have some appreciation of the overall philosophy or habitual thought
of that society. By habitual thought,
the writer means the philosophical premises that are basic to a culture;
premises that a society used to relate to the world. The habitual thought of Western Occidental
society is very linear and singular. A good
example of linear things is Western Occidental society's concept of time. Time is conceptualized as a straight line. If one attempted to picture "time"
in his mind, he would see something like a river flowing toward and on past
him. What is behind is the past. What is immediately around him is the present.
The question is upstream. But one cannot
see very far upstream because of a waterfall, the waterfall symbolizing the
barrier to knowing the future. This line
of time is conceptualized as quantity, especially as lengths made of
units. A length of time is envisioned as
a row of similar units.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A logical and inherent characteristic of this concept of
time is that once a unit of the river of time flows past, that particular unit
never returns...it is gone forever. This
characteristic lends itself to other concepts such as "wasting time”,
"making up time”, "buying time", “being on time", which are
unique to Western Occidental society.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another characteristic of this linear concept of time is that
each unit of time is totally different and independent of similar units. Consequently, each day is considered a
different unit, and thus a different day.
Every day is a new day, every year is a new year. From this the reader can readily understand
why there is a felt need among Western society to have names for days and
months, and numbers for years. In general,
Western philosophy is a straight line.
One goes from A to B to C to D to E, where B is the foundation for C,
and C is the foundation for D, and on down the line. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Many Native people think in terms of cyclicity. Time is not a straight line. It is a circle. Every day is not a new day, but
the same day repeating itself. There is
no need to name each day a different name.
You only need one name: day. This
philosophy is the result of a direct relationship to the Macrocosm. The sun is round; the moon is round; a day is
a cycle – daylight followed by night; the seasons follow the same cycle year
after year. A characteristic of cyclical
thinking is that it is wholistic, and the same way that the circle is a
whole. A cyclical philosophy does not
lend itself readily to dichotomies of categorizations, nor fragmentation, nor
polarizations, whereas linear thinking lends itself to all of the above. Linear thinking, also, lends itself to
singularity. For example, “there is only
one great spirit”, “only one true rule”, “only one true answer”. These philosophical ramifications of Western habitual
taught result in misunderstanding wholistic concepts. Westerners relate themselves to only one
aspect of the whole at the time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The linear and singular of philosophy of Western society, in
the cyclical and the wholistic philosophy of most Native people can readily be
seen in the property concepts each society has. British concepts of ownership or title
dissimilar to Native concepts of land ownership. An underlying premise of the
British property system is that no one can own land in the same way that one
can own a book. One cannot possess land in the same way that one can possess a
book. Possession forms a large part of ownership. Since one cannot own land in the same way that
he can own a book, a system has been devised by the British to give symbolic
ownership. This system is known as the
estate system. Under the estate system
one cannot outrightly own the land, mainly because land outlasts human beings. The land was there before the present owner,
and will still be there after the present owner passes. Consequently, one can only have an interest in
the land called an estate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The British developed a hierarchy of interests or estates. At the very top is "a fee simple
absolute”. It is a possessory fee simple absolute, the largest estate known to
the law. Even though a parcel of land
has geographic bounds, when considered in terms of time, this estate is said to
be of infinite duration. It is a
present, freely alienable, possessory estate. There are no other outside interests. A fee simple absolute can be symbolized as A
(grantor) to B (grantee) and his heirs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On down the line come the defeasible estates. The first
defeasible estate is the fee simple determinable (with a possibility of a
reverter). It is possible that A, a landowner
in a fee simple absolute will grant land to B with a condition, or limitation
which will cause the estate of B to come to an end upon the happening of a
certain event. The fee simple
determinable can be symbolized as A (grantor) to B (grantee) plus a condition
(so long as liquor is not sold on the premises). The interest retained by the grantor is known
as a possibility of a reverter. The
grantee has all the same rights in regards to the land as one having a fee
simple absolute except for the one condition, hence he has a lesser interest than
one having a fee simple absolute.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another defeasible estate is the fee simple subject to a condition
subsequent. It can by symbolized as A (grantor)
to B (grantee) on the condition that liquor is never sold on the premises; but if liquor is ever sold on the premises, the
grantor shall have a right to enter. This interest is not greatly different
from the fee simple determinable. The main difference is the interest retained
by the grantor. In the F.S.D., the
grantor interest automatically terminates on the happening of an event. As soon the condition is broken, the fee
reverts back to the grantor. In the
F.S.S.C.S. the fee does not automatically revert back to the grantor on the
happening of an event or when the condition is broken. The grantor or his heirs must exercise the
right to re-enter before the fee reverts back. If the right of re-entry is not exercised, the
fee remains in the grantee in spite of the condition being broken.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another step down the hierarchy of estates is the Fee Tail,
which has been phased out of British common law. The fee tail limits the class
of heirs capable of inheriting to those who likewise answer the description of
lineal descendants. When and if the line of lineal descendants runs out, the
estate tail comes to an end. The Grantor
retains a non-posessory, future estate called a reversion. A fee tail can be symbolized in legal language
as follows: A (grantor) to B (grantee) and the heirs of his body.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are a number of other interests or estates such as a
life estate, indefensible vested remainders, contingent remainders, executory
interests, and a number of non-freehold estates. But for our purposes, the above will suffice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of observations can be made in regard to the estate
system. Firstly, the system is linear
vertically. The system is also very singular. It is geared to the individual ownership of land.
Secondly, an underlying goal of the
system is to facilitate transferability of the different interests. Thirdly, the system necessitates an extensive
and complicated registry. It makes possible to chronologically trace previous
owners. If one went back far enough to the original source or original owner,
one would discover that it is the Crown or the Monarch. In other words, the source of title is the
Crown.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Indian ownership of property, and in this case, land is wholistic.
Land is comunally owned. Indian property ownership is somewhat akin to joint tenancy:
the members of a tribe have an undivided interest in the land; everybody, as a
whole, owns the whole. In regards to title,
to use the language of the estate system, the Native concept of title is
somewhat like a F.S.D., or a F.S.S.C.S, or a F.T. or a combination of all
three. It is as though the original
grantor of the land to the Indians put a condition on it… “so long as there are
Indians”; “so long as it is not alienated”; “on the condition that it be used
only by Indians” etc. In other words,
the Indian concept of title is not equivalent to a fee simple, but is somewhat
less than fee simple. This is not to say that they were not capable of conceiving
a fee simple concept. If one attempts to
trace the Indian’s source of title, one will quickly find the original source
is the Creator. The Creator, in granting
land, did not give the land to human beings only but gave it to all living
beings. This includes plants, sometimes
rocks, and all animals. In other words, deer
have the same type of estate or interest as any human being. This concept of sharing with fellow animals
and plants is one that is quite alien to Western society’s concept of
land. To Western society, only human beings
have a right to land, and everything else is for the convenience of human
beings. The concept of the Indians of sharing
with fellow living things is not unrelated to the concept of social contract
that has been forwarded by some philosophers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6mRY1Wzj1hlCa1d__potgBIaiWtnX62E5a-8ANCQ_y3gEqOjw9mHIbyHAew1RS7aw3E1H8cTHjCldUyLeDvoXwrfHLDYUWku9otLmYHTYUXeZUgf0vxpNQ5swcHNCtw_78WhuFypPoGOD/s1600/IMG_5964.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6mRY1Wzj1hlCa1d__potgBIaiWtnX62E5a-8ANCQ_y3gEqOjw9mHIbyHAew1RS7aw3E1H8cTHjCldUyLeDvoXwrfHLDYUWku9otLmYHTYUXeZUgf0vxpNQ5swcHNCtw_78WhuFypPoGOD/s400/IMG_5964.JPG" height="288" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">For instance, Rousseau and Locke refer to a social contract
to explain the origins society and government.
But their social contract refers to human beings only. If the idea of a social
contract is applied to Native people, one will find that it includes not only human
beings but all other living beings.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">An observation about the Indian’s concept of land title
includes a reference back to the basic philosophy. Indian property concepts are wholistic. Ownership does not rest in any one
individual, but belongs to the tribe as a whole, as an entity. The land belongs not only to people presently
living, but it belongs to past generations and to future generations. Past and
future generations are as much a part of the tribal entity as the living
generation. Not only that, but the land
belongs not only to human beings, but also to other living things; they, too,
have an interest.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The question inevitably arises as to just what the Indians surrendered when they signed treaties or engaged in activities that today the
government claims were actions on the part of the Indians extinguishing their title. Firstly, the Indian concept of land ownership
is certainly not inconsistent with the idea of sharing with an alien
people. Once the Indians recognized them
as human beings, they gladly shared with them.
They shared with Europeans in the same way they shared with the animals. But sharing here cannot be interpreted us
meaning that Europeans got the same rights as any other Native person, because they
were not descendants of the original grantees, or they were not parties to the
original social contract. Sharing
certainly cannot be interpreted as meaning that one is giving up for all eternity
his rights.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Secondly, the Indians could not have given a fee simple in
any land transaction they may have engaged in, because they did not have a fee
simple. They were never given a fee
simple by their grantor. It is well
known in British property law that one cannot give an interest greater than he
has.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thirdly, Indians could not have given an interest equal to
what they were originally granted, otherwise they would be breaking the
condition of the fee granted. Not only that, but they are not sole owners of
the original grant. The land belongs to
the past generations, the yet to be born, and the plants and animals. In order to give an interest equal to the original
grant, one would have to get a transfer from those holding an equal interest,
and these would include the dead, and the yet to be born, and the plants and
animals. Has the Crown ever received a
surrender from these other living entities?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fourthly, the only kind of interest that the Native People
have given or transferred is an interest lesser than they had, for one can
always give an interest smaller than he has.
For instance, if one holds an F.S.S.C.S., one can always give away a
life estate. From the above one can
readily conclude that the Indians did not surrender very much if they
surrendered anything at all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fifthly, the above philosophy, property concepts, and
ramifications and implications thereof, may sound ridiculous and
fairy-tale-like, but what philosophy does not? Do biblical stories make more
sense? To Native people they sound
rather ridiculous and make believe. Does the "Crown" as a fictitious
entity make more sense? The writer does
not think so.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Canada as a sovereign nation, via the Crown, claims
ownership and sovereignty over all the land within its boundaries. But how does one gain ownership and
sovereignty over particular piece of land?
One can gain sovereignty through aboriginal rights which basically means
that one is the original occupier of a particular piece land. One can gain sovereignty through
conquest. One can gain some land rights
through adverse possession.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> One can gain title through conveyance. Lastly and uniquely to the Americas, and claimed
to be just by Europeans, one can gain title through discovery.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If we look at Canada, and ask again, “How did she gain title
to the lands within its boundaries? “ It
certainly cannot claim title via aboriginal rights. Only Native people can claim aboriginal
rights. It cannot claim sovereignty
through conquest. Who did it conquer?
Sure, one or two small tribes may have been conquered, but certainly not most
Indian tribes. On the contrary, she chose
to enter into peace and friendship treaties with most tribes. If one tribe was actually conquered, it
certainly does not mean that all Indians were conquered. Conquest has geographic limitations in the
same way that the Royal Proclamation has geographic limitations.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the Nishga case, the court in a roundabout way, suggests
that the Crown gained title to lands in British Colombia via adverse possession,
i.e. adverse acts on the part of the crown.
But the theory of adverse possession could not apply to Native peoples
because the land was not individually owned.
Secondly, adverse possession does not apply to a sovereign because an
underlying assumption of the theory of adverse possession is that the adverse
possession must have his title recognized by a higher entity. In the case of the sovereign, there is no
higher entity.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If the Crown can claim any type of interest, it can
legitimize this claim through conveyance and only through conveyance. But as the writer has already shown, the
Indians surrendered if they surrendered anything at all, is a lot smaller to
what the government lays claim to. It
certainly is not a fee simple.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The only other means by which Canada can justify its claim
to Indian lands is through discovery.
But then the writer has shown how discovery has been misinterpreted and
misconstrued.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When the courts and the government say the Indian’s title is
dependent on the goodwill of the sovereign, and that the Indian’s interest is a
mere burden on the underlying title of the crown, the question to ask is: “What
did the Crown get its title from? And how?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When the courts refer to Indian title, they should say
something to the effect of, “the title or interest of the Crown is a mere
personal and usufructuary interest dependent on the goodwill of the Indians.” The Indians have all along had a paramount
estate underlying the Crown’s interest.
The Crown’s interest is a mere burden on the title of the Indians.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As a conclusion to this short paper, the writer would like
to state that his hope that he has in some small way contributed to a better
understanding of the Indians property concepts, which in turn, hopefully, will
facilitate a better understanding by those who are not familiar with Indian
thinking. The writer hopes that, in some
small way, by this paper, he has contributed toward educating non-Indians about
why and the basis for the land claims the Indians are making.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If justice and fairness are underlying goals of today’s
government and court system, then the concepts and the philosophy of Indian
people should certainly be taken into consideration and given as much weight as
British concepts and philosophy. But if
justice and fairness are not underlying goals, then we should stop covering
ourselves with a false aura of sacredness and bring out things in the open, so
everybody knows where they stand. In
other words, if we cannot be bothered with justice and fairness, we should, at
least, be truthful.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">My greetings to you and your family from the A:shiwi
Nation. I greeted you yesterday. I greet you today, perhaps using the same
greeting as I did yesterday. I will
greet you tomorrow to let you know that we share and breathe the same air. You are a part of me as I am a part of you,
my friend.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for inviting me to the “V Continental Summit of
Indigenous Peoples and Nations of Abya Yala” and “II Continental Summit of
Indigenous Women” being held at the Indigenous Reserve of Maria Piendamo, Cauca
Colombia, South America. Unfortunately I
cannot make the trip as you know I have been fighting to regain my civil and
political rights, and it has exhausted me financially. But if I may, I would like to rely on your
kindness and ask you to take this letter and present it on my behalf as well as
the brave women and men from my community who want to realize the true
leadership of our Indigenous Nation(s).
My people - people of the greater Southwest region of the United States
and Mesoamerica - have deep roots that connect us to the cultural landscape, and
it is imperative that we, as Children of Earth, stand in solidarity to protect
our cultural landscape for the sake of our children and those other living
things that depend on it; those things that are crucial to maintaining the
ecological balance of the world.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Earlier this year, in April, TONATIERRA hosted the
“Dismantling of the Doctrine of Discovery International Conference” in Phoenix,
AZ, USA. Tonatierra has been involved in important work and continues to be in
the forefront of educating the international community about issues impacting
our Indigenous communities. Their
organizing gives Indigenous leaders an opportunity to attend such forums to
share and learn from each other - to bring unity, which is so important in
advancing our continental voice. I
commend TONATIERRA for their leadership and vision.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The reason I brought up <a href="http://www.tonatierra.org/">TONATIERRA</a> is that I want to propose
sharing the Outcomes of the Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery International
Conference. The conference elevated our
understanding of each other and thereby created a sense of unity. It was
important to build from the efforts of individuals and organizations in
addressing the ongoing impacts of the Doctrine of Discovery from the
perspective of Indigenous Peoples in the spirit of self-determination. As a grassroots leader, I caution though,
that we cannot use the term “self-determination” or “Sovereignty” as a broad
brush to paint our communities. What I mean is that we have to continue to
educate and instill the understanding of the terms in order to create a
resource pool of thoughtful leaders, so that implementation of “sovereignty,”
for example, protects the rights of our peoples, as intended, and not to use it
as a shield against the people to protect self-serving leaders and/or
perpetuating the colonizer mentality. We
cannot have leaders squandering our natural resources and/or compromising our
rights. I say this because the behaviors
brought on by the teachings through the Doctrine of Discovery is still
practiced in the thinking of our contemporary Indigenous leaders, and this
mentality literally interfered with my right to lead my people as an elected
official. Many of our leaders are not in
harms-way, yet they cannot begin to make a power shift away from a European
Faith Based power system. They are afraid to do so. </span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Furthermore, looking at the OBJECTIVES and the list of
proposed “Thematic Working Groups” being featured at the V Continental Summit,
I support re-introducing the goals that were discussed at the Dismantling the
Doctrine of Discovery International Conference because the goals have
overlapping interest and that they can be strengthened and/or further
articulated. The overarching goals
included: “creating a comprehensive curriculum to reshape how the history of
colonization is taught, as well as creating generative conversations within and
across disciplines (law, environmental conservation, art, community
development, and many others). We hope
that the these discussions will focus on interventions that vary in scope from
the local, regional, and continental, to the global, transcending borders and
building on our experiences to empower ourselves to envision a future in which
the Doctrine of Discovery is challenged, denounced and ultimately dismantled."</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I leave you with these few thoughts because already I saw
that high level work groups are anticipated.
I am encouraged by it. We will
prevail by working together in some way, whether it is to combat prejudice and
stereotypes, protection of our water, air, soil, plants and animals, and
protecting sacred sites, to name a few.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">En
Asamblea Plenaria de la <b>V Cumbre
Continental de los Pueblos y Nacionalidades Indígenas del Abya Yala</b>, reunidos
en La María Piendamó, Cauca y en el Espíritu de la Libre Determinación de los
Pueblos Indígenas, igual a todos otros pueblos, hacemos un llamado a su oficina
para que aclare y se comprometa a rectificar los asuntos que aquí presentamos:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">Con la
intención de avanzar deliberadamente hacia el fin de la era del colonialismo y
hacia la descolonización por lo largo y ancho de todo nuestro continente de
Abya Yala, y con el <b>Mandato de la Liberación
Espiritual</b> de emerger del esquema de dominación que ha sido normalizado y
justificado por la Doctrina del Descubrimiento de la Cristiandad hace más de
quinientos veinte años en este continente de Abya Yala [América]:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">Los
Pueblos y Naciones Indígenas de Abya Yala aquí recordamos a su oficina:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">En La
11ª Sesión del Foro Permanente de las Naciones Unidas para las Cuestiones Indígenas
se presentó la siguiente recomendación:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">4 . El Foro Permanente recuerda el cuarto
párrafo del preámbulo de la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los
derechos de los pueblos indígenas en que se afirma que todas las doctrinas,
políticas y prácticas basadas en la superioridad de determinados pueblos o
individuos o que la propugnan aduciendo razones de origen nacional o
diferencias raciales, religiosas, étnicas o culturales son racistas,
científicamente falsas, jurídicamente inválidas, moralmente condenables y
socialmente injustas. En todo el mundo, los colonizadores han aducido
justificaciones jurídicas y políticas para desposeer a los pueblos indígenas de
sus tierras, privarlos de derechos y derogar sus derechos, como, por ejemplo,
la doctrina del descubrimiento, la doctrina de la dominación, la “conquista”,
la doctrina de <i>terra nullius</i> o la
doctrina real. Si bien estas doctrinas nefandas se favorecieron para justificar
la adquisición de las tierras y los territorios de los pueblos indígenas,
implícito en ellas había postulados más amplios que se tomaron como base para
afirmar la autoridad y el control sobre las vidas de los pueblos indígenas y
sus tierras, territorios y recursos. Los colonizadores consideraron a los
pueblos indígenas “salvajes”, “bárbaros”, “poco evolucionados”, “inferiores e
incivilizados” y usaron estos conceptos para someter, dominar y explotar a los
pueblos indígenas y sus tierras, territorios y recursos.</span><b><span lang="ES-TRAD"> </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span lang="ES-TRAD">El Foro Permanente
exhorta a los Estados a que repudien esas doctrinas como base para denegar los
derechos humanos de los pueblos indígenas.</span></b><span lang="ES-TRAD"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">En
consecuencia y en cumplimiento de la recomendación anterior del Foro Permanente
para las Cuestiones Indígenas, se reunió en el territorio O’otham [Arizona], en
abril 2013 , una conferencia internacional organizada en el marco del tema del <a href="http://www.dismantlingdoctrineofdiscovery.org/#!home/mainPage"><b>Desmantelamiento de la Doctrina delDescubrimiento</b></a>. Al presentar y
ratificar la <a href="http://unpfip.blogspot.com/2013/05/declaracion-abya-yala-sobre-el.html"><b>Declaración Abya Yala</b></a>
que fue emitida por esta conferencia Indígena continental, la Plenaria de la V
Cumbre Continental Indígena del Abya Yala ha tomado en cuenta el asunto en su
agenda y preocupados por los comentarios recién hechos acerca de la disputa
entre Argentina y la Gran Bretaña sobre la jurisdicción territorial de las
Islas Malvinas/Islas Falkland;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">En el discurso
de la revisión de las historias y de los conflictos y las violaciones
criminales actuales de los Derechos Humanos de nuestros Pueblos Indígenas que
se encuentran en la base de los pogromos que permite la persecución política de
nuestros Pueblos Originarios disfrazada de "sistemas legales" bajo el
manto de la Doctrina del Descubrimiento;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">Con la intención
de abordar las cuestiones de violaciones de Derechos Humanos, en particular el
derecho a la <b>Libre Determinación de los
Pueblos Indígenas</b>, con el fin de instituir medidas correctivas colectivas en el rechazo
de la Doctrina del Descubrimiento, ya que la Doctrina continúa sirviendo como
una manta de camuflaje para la patología y para la colonización que deforma y
viola el espíritu y el bienestar de nuestra Humanidad Común;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">Nuestra
posición es que el Estado del Vaticano, la Santa Sede y Su Santidad el Papa
Francisco deberán tomar las medidas adecuadas y llevar adelante un proceso de
responsabilidad internacional por el papel que la Iglesia Católica ha jugado en
el origen y autoría intelectual de las violaciones de Derechos Humanos que siguen
siendo normalizadas por la <b>Doctrina del
Descubrimiento</b>. Exhortamos Su Santidad
a hacer comentario público en repudiación de la Doctrina del Descubrimiento y en
clarificación de las contradicciones aquí documentadas.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The tribe I come from has 300,000 members. This is a large number. Where we are located is in three states: Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. But I am only one representative of one tribe
of approximately five hundred tribes located in the United States. So what I want to share with you today as
youth is that what I have been taught is that I am a part of the seventh
generation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This seventh generation was
prophesied from our ancestors long ago. Why is this important? Because the seventh generation has been
stated that we are the future young leaders that will come to help our
people. So I came here to Colombia as a
representative of my father who could not be here. This is a great privilege for me because it
taught me that I am taking all the teachings of my ancestors, my parents,
grandparents and aunts, and uncles. And
all these teachings of my family are standing here before you this day although
they themselves could not be here. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">So
what are we doing as youth where I come from?
One thing is that we are revitalizing our culture and language. Because if we do not know where we come from
we cannot know where we are going. One
main thing we have been working on is working with our elders. I recently have earned my Bachelor of Science
Degree in Environmental Science with hopes that somehow I can help my
Indigenous Nation and others as well. I
desire to help because as Indigenous people the environment is important for
us. Each day our lives and our
territories are being exploited. For
this reason I choose to study Environmental Science. A number of youth from my tribe are taking
the path of standing up for our Mother Earth. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgar_slD7vvCj_4225_Rb2lc6yzIirbPDa2SMkhQrUVViE2LxkreFK_wkCledgLDkIIvptFFKnNoD-fh6oDYm-DgOeB8W7nVoAkWWP1eIU_yvcvGuHO2RwlOSEqnlZQE6c-QTVIDIS03P_M/s1600/IMG_6245.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgar_slD7vvCj_4225_Rb2lc6yzIirbPDa2SMkhQrUVViE2LxkreFK_wkCledgLDkIIvptFFKnNoD-fh6oDYm-DgOeB8W7nVoAkWWP1eIU_yvcvGuHO2RwlOSEqnlZQE6c-QTVIDIS03P_M/s640/IMG_6245.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">When we protect Mother Earth as Indigenous people we are able to protect
the place our teachings come from. When
we protect our homeland we protect the future generations yet to come. In this way we are able to protect our way of
life. Speaking of maintaining our lives
there is something I would like to share with you. One main reason why we traveled here to
Colombia for the V Cumbre was to share with you the Abya Yala Declaration: Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">To discuss the destructive, deadly and
genocidal effects of the Doctrine of Discovery.
And in this way we as Indigenous people around the world, Dismantling
the Doctrine of Discovery to help maintain our lives as they have been before
with our ancestors and how we desire them to be now and in generations to
come. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">So we have come here from the
North of Abya Yala [USA, Canada] to ask the relatives in Central and South Abya
Yala [Central and South America] to affirm our determination to form an
Indigenous Peoples’ Tribunal. And to
move forward with stronger support from all of Abya Yala to Dismantle the
Doctrine of Discovery. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is what I
wanted to share with you today. It has
been an honor for me to talk to you all and see this beautiful site of youth
and realize that I and the Indigenous youth to the North of Abya Yala are not
alone and that we have Indigenous relatives here in the South but also know that
there are Indigenous youth throughout the world. Maybe our Indigenous populations in the world
are smaller when compared to others but we are strong. And with this strength we can move forward
with great hope and prepare a strong future for generations yet to some. </span><br />

Indigenous Peoples, equal to all other peoples, we call upon your office to
clarify and commit to rectify the issues we now present:</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">With the
intention of moving deliberately towards the end of the age of colonialism and
into decolonization across the length and breadth of our continent of Abya
Yala, and in Mandate of Spiritual Liberation from the schema of domination
which has been normalized and justified by the <b>Doctrine of Discovery of Christendom</b> for over five hundred and
twenty years in this continent of Abya Yala [the Americas],</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">We here
and now remind your office:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">The 11<sup>th</sup>
Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues made the
following recommendation:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">4. The
Permanent Forum recalls the fourth preambular paragraph of the United Nations
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which affirms that all
doctrines, policies and practices based on or advocating superiority of peoples
or individuals on the basis of national origin or racial, religious, ethnic or
cultural differences are racist, scientifically false, legally invalid, morally
condemnable and socially unjust. Legal and political justification for the
dispossession of indigenous peoples from their lands, their disenfranchisement
and the abrogation of their rights such as the doctrine of discovery, the
doctrine of domination, “conquest”, “discovery”, <i>terra nullius</i> or the
Regalian doctrine were adopted by colonizers throughout the world. While these
nefarious doctrines were promoted as the authority for the acquisition of the
lands and territories of indigenous peoples, there were broader assumptions
implicit in the doctrines, which became the basis for the assertion of
authority and control over the lives of indigenous peoples and their lands,
territories and resources. Indigenous peoples were constructed as “savages”,
“barbarians”, “backward” and “inferior and uncivilized” by the colonizers who
used such constructs to subjugate, dominate and exploit indigenous peoples and
their lands, territories and resources.</span><b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Permanent Forum calls upon States to repudiate such doctrines as the
basis for denying indigenous peoples’ human rights.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: black;">In consequence and in implementation of the above recommendation
from the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, an International Conference
was convened in O’otham Territory [Arizona] in April of 2013, organized under
the theme </span><span style="color: black;">of <a href="http://unpfip.blogspot.com/2013/05/abya-yala-declaration.html"><b><u>DISMANTLING the Doctrine of Discovery</u></b></a></span><span style="color: black;">. Upon presentation and ratification of the
Abya Yala Declaration which was emitted from this continental indigenous
conference, the Plenary of the V Continental Summit of Indigenous Nations and
Pueblos of Abya Yala has addressed the issue in our agenda.</span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">Therefore:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">In the course of reviewing the history
of the <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=cNKtX4mYVZUC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA66#v=twopage&q&f=false">issues of conflict</a> and ongoing criminal violations of our Human Rights
as Indigenous Peoples, which lie at the base of continuing pogroms of political
persecution disguised as “legal” policies under the mantle of the Doctrine of
Discovery;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Concerned regarding <a href="http://doctrineofdiscoveryforum.blogspot.com/2013/05/catholic-herald-usurped-malvinas.html">public comments</a>
made regarding the dispute over territorial jurisdiction over the Islas
Malvinas/Falkland Islands between Argentina and Great Britain;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">With
the intention of addressing the systematic violation of Human Rights of the
Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala, in particular the Right of Self Determination
of Indigenous Peoples, and with the goal of instituting collective corrective
measures in repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery which continues to serve
as a mantel of camouflage for the pathology and colonization that deforms and
distorts the spirit and well being of our common humanity;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Our position is
that the Vatican State, the Holy See and Your Holiness Pope Francis must take
adequate measures and advance in the process of international responsibility
for the role that the Catholic Church has played in the origin and as intellectual
author of the criminal violations of Human Rights which continue to be
normalized by the Doctrine of Discovery.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">We exhort Your
Holiness to make public comment in repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery and
in clarification of the contradictions here documented.</span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">On November 11 and 12, 2013, in the Indigenous Territory of
the Reserve of La Maria, Piendamó, Cauca Department, Colombia, youth from seven
countries came together: Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guatemala, Mexico, USA and
Canada, in order to analyse the social and organizational situation of the
young indigenous peoples of Abya Yala, and in order to identify some of the
main problems affecting us, as youth, and that threaten the survival of our
peoples. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The youth attending the Third Continental Encounter of Youth
in the frame of the V Continental Summit, we made clear that our processes
represent a window for us to continue being part of the articulation and unity
of our Indigenous communities, that it is an urgent priority that we as young
people integrate the processes of our peoples, it is urgent to be seen as an
important part, needed in the spaces generated on indigenous movements, and
that we contribute in the building and weaving processes of our peoples. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">That indigenous youth have not been immune to the problems
that we live as Indigenous Peoples, to the need to continue working
collectively with our seniors, elders, women and children, as a mechanism to
strengthen our principles of struggle, and continue progressing in unity as
brothers of ABYA AYALA. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">That is why in this V SUMMIT OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, we
confirm that voice of unity and full commitment to move forward in
strengthening our processes, articulated from our leaders and organizations,
advancing in the weaving of autonomy and identity that characterize us as
Original Peoples of ABYA AYALA. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are like the seeds of the story we tell here. They were
put on clay to preserve them. The seeds were dormant and hidden, to protect
them, but they were never completely destroyed, just sleeping and waiting for
their time to awaken and bloom again. And before these seeds were put on clay,
they came from plants strong and flourishing, with an ancient history and a life
cycle. Similarly, we come from flourishing cultures with their stories and
knowledge systems, that were attacked and invaded 500 years ago, and they went
dormant to protect themselves. But even if they were hidden, they were always
prophesied to return to help their people to flourish again. As a youth of the
prophesized Seventh Generation, we are the seeds preserved and protected, and
we have to come forth at this time to help our people to flourish again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">In that sense and analyzing the situation that exists within
each country present, articulated to their local organizations; young women and
men attending this V SUMMIT OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, we reflected in face of the
difficult situation we live in our communities, and we identified the following
issues: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">• Weakening of our own economies: consequence of the
capitalist onslaught, of the strengthening monopolies of big enterprises, which
result in the destruction of grassroots and community economies, in the lack of
food and original seed production, and which sharpens migration due to the lack
of inclusion in the productive system. We propose to generate economic
initiatives from the reality of young people. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">• Territory, which is invaded by mining companies plundering
our ancestral lands, we declare a resounding no to transgenic and mineral
enterprises, we reclaim respect for natural harvest times, we reject the
extractive companies and claim territorial autonomy and recovery of ancestral
lands. To generate indigenous guards as territorial defense strategy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">• Cultural identity: the exclusive society imposed by the
power, which tries to erase our historical memory, denying and hiding the ways
of life of our peoples. We demand respect for and reinforcement of cosmogenic
elements and practices of ancestral knowledge, revitalizing ancestral
spirituality. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">• Education: colonizing education that Western reason
attempts to impose, delegitimizing ancestral and original knowledge systems,
generating a process of alienation and acculturation of our compeers. We demand
the need for a real and decolonized intercultural education, and the
strengthening of the exercise of our own education, public and popular: that
respects the ancient principles and practices, from the new school raised from
the realities of each of the territories with their own curricula and spaces
suitable for education. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">With this analysis of the situation prevailing in the
various countries of the continent and for the purpose of weaving a path that
leads us to overcome the problems that we live, we conclude: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Our commitment to the strengthening of indigenous youth
processes, considering that this contributes to the strengthening of our
peoples and organizations. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Creating training schools for youth politics in each
country, with the aim of strengthening organizational processes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Create a virtual communication team, to disseminate
information regarding the Encounters and organizing the I Abya Yala youth summit. This will be made by two
partners of each member country, to build a website and blog with social
networking tools, to disseminate the work of all countries. Will rotate for
each country. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Re symbolizing the Chaskis, formed by young people from
each People of Abya Yala, to carry the message to internal people. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Creation of the Political Coordination Council led by the
leadership of the CAOI. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. It is proposed to also learn about the experience of the
Indigenous guard; young men and women for consolidation, empowerment and
self-determination of our peoples. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. As people we move from the community, and we suggest that
under the nuclear household structure, we invite our families to be linked to
youth and their organization. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">8. Taking into account the spirituality, start generating a
ceremony fire before any meeting or youth summit Abya Yala. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">9. We support the peace process that develops the Colombian
people and demand that this be taken into account historical claims of
indigenous peoples as: respect for their territory, respect for their
traditional knowledge and ways of living, because without this there can’t
exist true peace. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">10. The CAOI is the organization who will be coordinating
the following up of the process of youth. Towards the first continental summit,
with the support of the other organizations. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">11. We propose the implementation of a continental march for
life and the territory, allowing us to walk the paths of the exchange and
sharing of the word and experience of our process of our continent </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">12. In this context the III Meeting of Indigenous Youth of
Yala Abya demands to this V Summit that it mandates calls for the First
Continental Summit of Indigenous Youth of Yala Abya to take place in the
framework of the VI Summit of the peoples of Abya Yala. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">PRONUNCIAMIENTO DEL TERCER ENCUENTRO DE JÓVENES, EN EL MARCO
DE LA V CUMBRE CONTITENTAL DE LOS PUEBLOS INDÍGENAS DEL ABYA YALA</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Durante los días 11 y 12 de Noviembre del 2013, reunidos en
el resguardo indígena La María, Piendamó,
departamento del Cauca, Colombia. Jóvenes de siete países: Colombia,
Ecuador, Bolivia, Guatemala, México,
Estados Unidos y Canadá, con el fin de analizar la situación social y
organizativa que vivimos los y las
jóvenes indígenas del Abya Yala, para
lograr identificar algunas de las principales problemáticas que nos
afectan cómo jóvenes y que atentan contra la pervivencia de nuestros pueblos.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Los jóvenes presentes en este III Encuentro Continental de
la Juventud en marco de la V cumbre
Continental, dejamos claro que nuestros procesos son una ventana para nosotros
seguir haciendo parte de la articulación y la unidad al interior de nuestras
comunidades indígenas, que es de prioridad urgente que a nosotros como jóvenes,
integrados a los procesos de nuestros pueblos, es urgente que se nos de
importancia necesaria en los
espacios que se generen alrededor del
movimiento indígena, para aportar en la construcción y tejido de los procesos de nuestros pueblos.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Que los jóvenes indígenas no hemos sido ajenos a las
problemáticas que vivimos los pueblos originarios, a la necesidad de seguir trabajando de manera
colectiva con nuestros mayores, ancianos, mujeres y niños, como mecanismo para
seguir fortaleciendo nuestros principios
de lucha, y seguir avanzando en la unidad como hermanos del ABYA AYALA.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Es por ello que en esta V CUMBRE DE LOS PUEBLOS INDIGENAS,
ratificamos esa voz de unidad y el compromiso pleno de seguir
avanzando en el fortalecimiento de nuestros procesos, articulados desde nuestras autoridades y organizaciones, avanzando en tejer la
autonomía y la identidad que nos caracteriza como pueblos
originarios del ABYA AYALA.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nosotros somos como estas semillas de la historia que
contamos. Fueron puestas en arcilla para preservarlas. Las semillas eran
durmientes y escondidas, para protegerlas, pero nunca fueron completamente
destruidas, solo durmiendo y esperando su tiempo para despertar y florecer de
nuevo. Y antes de que estas semillas fueran puestas en la arcilla, las semillas
venían desde plantes fuertes y florecientes, con una historia milenaria y un
ciclo de vida. Similarmente, venimos de culturas florecientes, con sus
historias y saberes, que cuando fueron atacados e invadidos hace 500 años, se
pusieron como durmientes para protegerse. Pero aunque esteban ocultas, siempre
se profetizó que iban a volver para ayudar sus pueblos a florecer de nuevo.
Como juventud de la profetizada Séptima generación, somos las semillas
preservadas y protegidas, y nos toca avanzar en este tiempo para ayudar
nuestros pueblos a florecer</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">En ese sentido y analizando la situación que se vive al
interior de cada país presente,
articulado a sus organizaciones locales; los y las jóvenes presentes en esta V CUMBRE DE LOS PUEBLOS
INDIGENAS, reflexionamos frente a la
difícil situación que vivimos en nuestros pueblos y donde identificamos las siguientes
problemáticas:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">• Debilitamiento
de las Economías Propias: producto de la
embestida capitalista, el fortalecimiento de monopolios de las grandes
empresas que se expresa
en la destrucción de las economías populares y comunitarias, falta de
producción de alimentos y semillas
propias, que agudiza la migración, promovido por la ausencia de inclusión en el
sistema productivo. Proponemos generar iniciativas económicas desde la realidad
de los jóvenes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">• Territorio,
que es invadido por las empresas extractivas, para saquear nuestros territorios
ancestrales , declaramos el no rotundo a las empresas transgénicos y minerales,
respeto a los tiempos de cosecha
natural, el rechazo a las empresas extractivas Autonomía del territorio y la
recuperación de las tierras ancestrales. Generar guardias indígenas como
estrategia de defensa del territorio.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">• Identidad
cultural: la sociedad excluyente impuesta desde el poder, que intenta borrar
nuestra memoria histórica, negando y ocultando las formas de vida de nuestros
pueblos. Demandamos el respeto y fortalecimiento de los elementos
cosmogónicos y prácticas de los saberes ancestrales, revitalización de la
espiritualidad ancestral.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">• Educación:
la educación colonizadora que intenta imponer la razón occidental
deslegitimando los conocimientos propios
y ancestrales, generando un proceso de alienación y aculturación de
nuestros compañeros. Demandamos la necesidad de una educación intercultural
real y descolonizada, fortalecimiento del ejercicio de educación propia,
publica y popular: que respete las
prácticas y principios ancestrales,
desde la nueva escuela planteada desde
las realidades de cada uno de los territorios
con contenidos curriculares propios y espacios adecuados para la
educación. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Realizando un análisis de la situación que se vive en los
distintos países del continente y con el propósito de tejer un camino que nos
lleve a superar las problemáticas que vivimos, concluimos lo siguiente:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Nuestro
compromiso con el fortalecimiento de los procesos juveniles indígenas,
considerando que esto aporta al fortalecimiento de nuestros pueblos y
organizaciones. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Creación de
escuelas de formación política para jóvenes en cada país, con el objetivo de
fortalecer los procesos organizativos. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Crear un
equipo de comunicación virtual, que difunda la información, respecto a la
información de los encuentros y la organización de la I cumbre de jóvenes del
Abya Yala. Esta estará conformada, por dos compañeros de cada país integrante,
para la construcción de una página web
y blog con herramientas de las redes sociales, que
difunda el trabajo de todos los países. Será rotativo para cada país.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Re
simbolización de los Chaskis, que será conformada por los mismos jóvenes de
cada pueblo del Abya Yala, para que lleve el mensaje al interno de los pueblos.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Creación del
Consejo de Coordinación Política liderada por la dirigencia de la CAOI. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Se propone
que también se conozcan la experiencia de los guardianes indígenas; jóvenes hombres y mujeres para la consolidación, empoderamiento y de
autodeterminación de nuestros pueblos.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Como pueblos
avanzamos desde la colectividad, sugerimos que bajo la estructura del núcleo
familiar hacer la invitación a nuestras familia, para se vinculen de la
juventud y organización.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">8. Tomar en
cuenta la espiritualidad, ir generando una
ceremonia fuego antes de comenzar cualquier encuentro o cumbre de la
juventud del Abya Yala.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">9. Respaldamos
el proceso de paz que desarrolla el pueblo colombiano y exigimos que dentro de
este sea tomado en cuenta las demandas históricas de los pueblos originarios
como: respeto a su territorio, respeto a sus saberes tradicionales y formas de
convivencia, ya que sin esto no podrá existir una paz verdadera.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">10. La CAOI será
la organización quien estará coordinando el seguimiento del proceso de
juventud. Para la primera cumbre continental, con el acompañamiento de las
demás organizaciones.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">11. Proponemos la
realización de una marcha continental por la vida y el territorio, que nos
permita recorrer los caminos del intercambio y el compartir de la palabra y la
experiencia en nuestros proceso de nuestros continente</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Después de más de 500 años de resistencia, nosotros, los Pueblos Indígenas, no nos dejamos engañar por la llamada Economía Verde y REDD+ porque reconocemos el colonialismo cuando lo vemos. Independientemente de los disfraces cínicos y sus mentiras vergonzosas, el colonialismo siempre resulta en la violación y el saqueo de la Madre Tierra, y en la esclavitud, la muerte, la destrucción y el genocidio de sus pueblos. La Economía Verde y REDD+ constituyen un despojo del planeta apenas velado, malvado y colonialista que oponemos, denunciamos y resistimos.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">La Madre Tierra es la fuente de vida. Debemos protegerla, no explotarla; ni mercantilizarla. La Pachamama no es “capital natural”. Para restaurar el equilibrio de la Tierra, no hay que dominar y vender la naturaleza sino hay que respetar las Leyes de la Naturaleza y amar la belleza de la energía creativa de la Madre Tierra.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSt35QwMRRLKziSldLhIb1wac5UhnBHatVW5o-jQ0-lUBUbu-B34_uhg0v8LorPWMnvmzakVXqDS_gVA6YAEGS3MTmvsShCQ7yFvKnJcoTNvVRSTAXoVjna6ZFF7Ms4qYZXreJVIeLDUF7/s1600/IMG_5964.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSt35QwMRRLKziSldLhIb1wac5UhnBHatVW5o-jQ0-lUBUbu-B34_uhg0v8LorPWMnvmzakVXqDS_gVA6YAEGS3MTmvsShCQ7yFvKnJcoTNvVRSTAXoVjna6ZFF7Ms4qYZXreJVIeLDUF7/s400/IMG_5964.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Así como históricamente la Doctrina del Descubrimiento fue utilizada para justificar la primera ola del colonialismo pretendiendo que los Pueblos Indígenas no tenían almas, y que nuestros territorios fueran "terra nullius", tierra de nadie, ahora la Economía Verde y REDD+ están inventando similares premisas deshonestas para justificar esta nueva ola de colonialismo y privatización de la naturaleza. Pueblos indígenas y campesinos están siendo asesinados, reubicados forzosamente, criminalizados y culpados de provocar el cambio climático. Nuestra tierra está siendo calificada como "no utilizada", "degradadas" o "requiriendo de conservación” y "reforestación", para justificar despojos masivos de tierra para REDD+, proyectos de compensación de carbono y la biopiratería.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pero, ¿de qué se trata la Economía Verde y REDD+? La Economía Verde es nada menos que el capitalismo de la naturaleza, un esfuerzo perverso de las grandes empresas, las industrias extractivas y los gobiernos para convertir en dinero toda la Creación mediante la privatización, mercantilización, y venta de lo Sagrado y todas las formas de vida, así como el cielo, incluyendo el aire que respiramos, el agua que bebemos y todos los genes, plantas, semillas criollas, árboles, animales, peces, diversidad biológica y cultural, ecosistemas y conocimientos tradicionales que hacen posible y disfrutable la vida sobre la Tierra.<br /> </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">La Economía Verde es el paraguas para todo tipo de maneras para vender la naturaleza, incluyendo REDD+, el Mecanismo de Desarrollo Limpio, el comercio de carbono, el PSA (Pago por Servicios Ambientales), la financiarización de la naturaleza, el Régimen Internacional sobre Acceso a Recursos Genéticos, patentes sobre la vida, TEEB (La Economía de los Ecosistemas y la Biodiversidad), el capital natural, los bonos verdes, los bancos de la Vida y “alianzas” de estados y empresas con pueblos indígenas. Bajo la Economía Verde, incluso la lluvia, la belleza de una cascada o el polen de una abeja se reducirán a una etiqueta con un código de barras y se venderá al mejor postor. Al mismo tiempo, la Economía Verde promueve el "desarrollo sostenible" haciendo un “lavado verde” de las industrias extractivas ambiental y socialmente devastadoras tales como la maderería, la minería, y la explotación petrolera. Nada podría estar más lejos de la verdad.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">REDD+, como el comercio de carbono y el Mecanismo de Desarrollo Limpio, es una falsa solución al cambio climático promovida por las Naciones Unidas, el Banco Mundial y los criminales del clima, tales como la petrolera Shell y la minera Rio Tinto, que permite a los contaminadores continuar quemando los combustibles fósiles y no reducir sus emisiones en el lugar de origen. Oficialmente, REDD+ quiere decir Reducción de Emisiones por Deforestación y Degradación forestal. Pero, en verdad REDD+ significa Rápido Enriquecimiento con Desalojos, usurpación de tierras y Destrucción de la biodiversidad. REDD+ constituye un despojo mundial de tierras y una estafa gigantesca de compensaciones de carbono.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Al principio, REDD sólo incluía los bosques y las plantaciones, pero su alcance ha sido ampliado hasta incluir árboles transgénicos, los suelos y la agricultura. Con el tiempo, REDD+ puede tratar a incluir y expropiar toda la superficie de la Tierra, incluyendo la mayoría de los bosques, los suelos, los campos, los llanos, los desiertos, los humedales, los manglares, las algas marinas y los océanos para usarlos como esponja para la contaminación de los países industrializados. REDD+ es también el pilar de la Economía Verde y ha sido celebrado de una forma irreverente como "la parte espiritual medular" del "plan de negocios" que los gobiernos del mundo están escribiendo para el planeta. REDD+ convierte las fuentes de vida de la Tierra en basureros de carbono; convierte el vientre de Nuestra Madre Tierra en tumbas. ¡Pero no vamos a permitir que eso pase!<br /> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tal vez la Economía Verde se llama verde porque ese es el color del dólar, y tal vez REDD+ fue bautizado así porque rojo es el color de la sangre. Pregunta a Olivia Mukamperezida, la madre de Friday, un niño de ocho años de edad, de Uganda, que, según The New York Times, murió cuando su casa fue quemada y más de 22.000 pequeños agricultores con títulos de propiedad fueron desalojados violentamente de una plantación de carbono forestal. Pregunta al campesino Antonio Alves, que fue perseguido, arrestado a punta de pistola y encarcelado durante 11 días por la Fuerza Verde, los guardias armados del proyecto REDD+ de Chevron en Brasil, por talar un árbol para reparar las goteras del techo de su mamá. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pregunta al jefe tradicional Daniel Jiménez del Pueblo Matsés de la Amazonía peruana contra quien levantaron cargos penales por defender a su pueblo de un contrato engañoso de REDD+ que estaba escrito en un idioma extranjero que daba al comerciante de carbono el control total sobre la selva y forma de vida de los Matsés, para siempre. Pregunta al Pueblo Batwa Pigmeo quienes han sufrido servidumbre en la plantación de Carbono Forestal Ibi-Batéké del Banco Mundial, en la República Democrática del Congo. Pregunta al Pueblo Ngaju Dayak de Indonesia que han denunciado el proyecto REDD+ de Kalimantan, porque genera conflictos y viola su derecho al consentimiento libre, previo e informado consagrado en la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas.<br /> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Estos ejemplos nos ayudan a no ser engañados por las mentiras vergonzosas y la propaganda burda que tratan de esconder la verdad sobre REDD+. Sabemos que REDD+ no se trata de salvar el clima, ni de proteger los bosques, ni de erradicar la pobreza, ni de la distribución de los "beneficios" ni del empoderamiento de las mujeres. Incluso las propias Naciones Unidas reconoce que REDD+ podría resultar en el "la clausura de bosques”, "pérdida de la tierra", "conflicto por los recursos", "nuevos riesgos para los pobres" y "marginar a los sin tierra."<br /> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">De hecho, todos los impactos negativos de REDD+ que la ONU había previsto ya están ocurriendo. Por ejemplo, en África, REDD+, los bonos de carbono, los agrocombustibles y los cultivos de exportación, están impulsando grandes despojos de tierra. Además, en vista de que REDD+ ahora incluye plantaciones y la agricultura, las plantaciones ya existentes, así como los agrocombustibles y cultivos de exportación pronto podrían convertirse también en proyectos de compensación de carbono. Los expertos están advirtiendo que tres cuartas partes de la población de África y dos terceras partes de sus tierras están en riesgo de ser despojados y que REDD+ puede crear "generaciones de personas sin tierra." En África, REDD+ se está perfilando como una nueva forma de colonialismo, de subyugación económica y un impulsor de despojos de tierra tan masivos que podría constituir un despojo del continente.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mientras tanto, la falta de acción sobre el cambio climático, enmascarado por las falsas soluciones como REDD+, está permitiendo que la temperatura de la Tierra aumente 2° Centígrados o más, lo que efectivamente derrite el Ártico, quema África y ahoga el Pacífico. Nueve países están desapareciendo bajo las olas por el aumento en el nivel del mar en el Pacífico, donde el 90% de la población es indígena. Esto constituye un racismo climático y genocidio cultural a una escala sin antecedentes.<br /> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Desafortunadamente, REDD+ afecta a todas las regiones del mundo y todos los sectores sociales. Para las y los campesinos de todo el mundo, REDD+ constituye una contra-reforma agraria y pervierte la tarea de cultivar alimentos a "cultivar carbono". La llamada “Agricultura Climática Inteligente" no es inteligente, es tonta. Además, las llamadas semillas "listas para el clima" y otras supuestas soluciones climáticas transgénicas son simplemente más intentos de Monsanto, la industria de la biotecnología y el agronegocio para deformar, patentar y controlar nuestras semillas, despojándonos de nuestros campos y convirtiéndonos en peones sin tierra, obligados por contrato.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Si se aplica un análisis de género a REDD+, es claro que REDD+ también constituye una nueva forma de violencia contra las mujeres, porque limita o prohíbe el acceso de las mujeres a la tierra donde cultivamos, recolectamos alimentos y agua para alimentar y quitar la sed de nuestras familias. De igual forma, para los Pueblos Indígenas, REDD+ amenaza nuestra sobrevivencia cultural y es potencialmente genocida debido a que los impulsores de REDD+ quieren expropiar y controlar la mayoría de los bosques y el 80% de la biodiversidad del mundo, que se encuentra en nuestras tierras y territorios. Para las y los pescadores y las comunidades costeras, REDD+ Azul, es decir hacer REDD+ en los mares y aguas dulces, podría limitar profundamente nuestra pesca, así socavando nuestro sustento y forma de vida. En cuanto a los trabajadores, sabemos que los empleos generados por plantaciones tipo-REDD+ suelen ser menos que los prometidos, los salarios bajos y las condiciones laborales raquíticas, el derecho a sindicalizarse frecuentemente violado y el contacto con pesticidas altamente cancerígenos común.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pero REDD+ no es solamente nocivo para los adultos. Para la niñez, la juventud y las futuras generaciones, REDD+ y otras falsas soluciones al cambio climático, tales como los mega-proyectos como las represas hidroeléctricas como Belo Monte, los agrocombustibles, el carbón "limpio", la energía nuclear, el petróleo extraído de arenas, el gas y petróleo de esquisto, fracturamiento hidráulico, la nanotecnología, la biología sintética, la bioenergía, la biomasa, el biochar y la geo-ingeniería, ponen en peligro el futuro y la vida tal como la conocemos. En lugar de ayudar a reducir el calentamiento global, ellos envenenan y destruyen el medio ambiente y deja que la crisis climática aumente exponencialmente, lo que puede dejar el planeta prácticamente inhabitable.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No podemos permitir que las falsas soluciones al cambio climático como REDD+ y la Economía Verde destruyan el equilibrio de la Tierra, asesinen a las estaciones, desencadenen el caos del mal tiempo, privaticen la vida y amenacen la supervivencia de la humanidad. REDD+ y la Economía Verde son crímenes de lesa común contra la humanidad y la Tierra. Sin embargo, nos negamos a ser los condenados de la Tierra y a permitir que la Tierra sea condenada.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sentimos el dolor por la falta de armonía causada por la violación del orden natural de la Creación, el colonialismo continuo y el saqueo de la Madre Tierra y sus hijos. Para responder al calentamiento global requerimos del poder popular ejercido a<br />favor de la vida y la Madre Tierra. Necesitamos salvar la humanidad no promover el colonialismo de carbono que vende el aire que respiramos y privatiza la Tierra y el Cielo.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Haciéndole caso a la sabiduría de nuestros ancianos y a las profecías de nuestros ancestros, rechazamos REDD+!. La Madre Tierra, herida y convulsionándose por las fiebres provocadas por la contaminación, nos está suplicando cambiar de paradigmas. Solo un sendero que:</span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Rechaza REDD+ y la Economía Verde;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Descoloniza la vida, la tierra y el cielo;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Respeta los derechos humanos;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Garantiza los derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas;</span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Proteja lo Sagrado,</span></li>

originates in our communities, bringing together both men and women, has been
strengthened historically in four continental summits: <a href="http://www.cumbreindigenabyayala.org/primera/"><b>Teotihuacan</b></a> (Mexico, 2000), <b><a href="http://www.cumbreindigenabyayala.org/index_en.html">Kito</a></b> (Ecuador, 2004), <a href="http://cumbrecontinentalindigena.org/index_guate_en.php"><b>Iximche'</b></a>

languages, ancestral knowledge, problems and challenges, alternatives and
dreams, and we have reaffirmed our undiminished and inalienable Rights as

agreed to work together to bring the States to recognize the national and
international legal instruments on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and that
these be incorporated into their respective Political Constitutions. In this sense, our Indigenous Peoples
of the continent have contributed to the approval in 2007 of the <b>United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples</b>. However, we are still advocating and insisting that the
Declaration be raised to the status of national law as has been realized in
Bolivia.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Times New Roman";">It
has been a long struggle and continues to be so for the Indigenous Peoples of
Abya Yala to push for ratification by the states of <a href="http://saiic.nativeweb.org/ayn/schulting.html"><b>ILO Convention 169</b></a>. To date in the Americas only 15 of the 35 OAS
member states have ratified the Convention. However, ratification alone is not
enough to realize the full exercise of our rights and so the implementation of
ILO 169 is one of the major challenges we continue to face. For example, the implementation and
application of the consultation process has both has light and dark histories
in the region. Experience shows that
despite having the force of law, as in Peru, its application is still elusive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Times New Roman";">In
the second summit it was agreed to strengthen the <b>process of articulation</b> and <b>alliances</b>
with other movements. Since 2005, the indigenous peoples have developed
strategies to achieve greater exchange, visibility and support for proposals
with other social movements of the continent and the world. These processes
have enabled us to disseminate our political proposals and contribute to
collective actions for a world in balance with Mother Earth inspired by the
principle of Living with Wellness.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Times New Roman";">Indigenous
Peoples have woven together these joint convergences and the result has brought
about the creation of common regional-global agendas in recent years. One of
the milestones along the way was made evident at the continental level by the
contributions and proposals of indigenous women of Abya Yala from the <a href="http://upsidedownworld.org/main/peru-archives-76/1903-moving-forward-the-fourth-continental-summit-of-indigenous-peoples-"><b>First Continental Summit of Indigenous Women</b></a> (Puno, 2009).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Times New Roman";">Another
very important collective space has been the organization of the <a href="http://comunicacionesabyayala.org/"><b>First Continental Summit of Indigenous Communication</b></a> (Cauca, 2011).
As a result of mobilizations of indigenous Quechua, Aymara and Kichwas,
progress has been made in the advancing the proposal of <a href="http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2009/bizerra181209.html"><b>Sumac Kawsay, <i>Living with Wellness</i></b></a> as an alternative to crisis of civilization
affecting humanity.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
Indigenous Peoples bring to the modern world a global proposal based on our
ancestral lifestyles and daily life of respect, harmony and balance with all
that exists on Mother Earth. We believe that the western way of life with it’s
projections of unconstrained economic growth has reached its limit and to heal
Mother Earth is necessary to return to the culture of life, the Indigenous
Peoples principle of <a href="http://upsidedownworld.org/main/ecuador-archives-49/4087-ecuador-building-a-good-life-sumak-kawsay">Sumac Kawsay</a>, <i>Living with<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"> </span>Wellness</i>. However, in the
present context we are witnessing the deepening of actions of state repression
and criminalization targeting us as Indigenous Peoples standing in defense of
our territories and rights.
Without our <b>free, prior and
informed consent</b> and in the name of supposed national development our
territories are granted in concessions to companies who implement
mega-development projects that threaten our cultural survival as Indigenous
Peoples.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
predatory economics of extractivism that causes displacement and pollution of
Mother Earth is the model that prevails on the continent and we Indigenous
Peoples are considered an obstacle to this development. Therefore, it is necessary to continue
to articulate our demands and proposals, define strategies to enhance the
processes towards completion of a new civilizational paradigm supported by the
principle of Living with Wellness, strengthening the implementation of
indigenous rights to be recognized by the states, and to promote recognition of
the <a href="http://pwccc.wordpress.com/programa/"><b>Rights of Mother Earth</b></a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Times New Roman";">Thus
as the Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala we self convene to gather at the <b>V Continental Summit of Indigenous Peoples
and Nations of Abya Yala</b>, the <b>Second
Continental Summit of Indigenous Women</b> and the <b>III Continental Meeting of Indigenous Children and Youth </b>to be
hosted at the Indigenous Reserve of La Maria Piendamó, department of Cauca,
Colombia, from November 10 -16, 2013.
In this process we call upon the Indigenous Peoples of the continent to
convene in Preparatory Meetings to discuss and agree on proposals to be
integrated into the agenda of the continental summit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Times New Roman";">At
the V Summit of Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala, both men and women, we will
gather and exchange, we will discuss and agree on actions on issues such as:</span></span></div>
