The historical trajectory of the Continental Indigenous Movement of Self Determination has arrived a defining moment. Over the past generation, the organizing initiatives of the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples of the Great Turtle Island Abya Yala have collectively gained a measure of recognition within the continental and global geopolitical regimes of the government states and their respective national constituencies.

The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted on September 13, 2007, is one such point of reference in the struggle against over five centuries of colonialism and genocide.  Yet. it was the UN General Assembly itself that in 2014 subverted the right of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent by adopting a System Wide Action Plan in order to implement the Declaration as a UN bureaucratic norm instead of an international geopolitical platform to normalize the standards of a binding International Convention on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

The right of Self Determination of Indigenous Peoples is being reduced to a process of nationalization under the UN Westphalian system of state sovereignty in violation of the International Human Right of Indigenous Self Determination as “Peoples, Equal to all other peoples…”
 


Marked from the First Continental Indigenous Encounter of 1990 in Quito, Ecuador the most recent continental convening of Indigenous Nations and Pueblos occurred in 2013 at the Fifth Continental Summit Abya Yala the Cauca Territories of the Nasa Nation in Colombia.

In 2020, in the Spirit of Self Determination and in Defense of the Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth, the Continental Commission Abya Yala calls for not yet another summit, not yet another event. We call for the unfolding and realization of a continental EVENTUALITY, synchronized upon the Uprising and Emergence of the Butterfly Suns of the Spring-Fall Equinoxes of March and September 2020.

We call for each Original Nation of Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala to vision, to organize and exercise the Right of Self Determination as Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples acting in Continental Alliance and Confederation in defense of the Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth.

Such actions to be realized and coordinated in accord with the Mandate of the Indigenous Peoples acting in collective responsibility as the Original Nations of Mother Earth, guided by the knowledge and example of the Traditional Teachings and Cultural Instructions of their traditional Territories and the Watersheds of their homelands.

La trayectoria histórica del Movimiento Indígena Continental por la Libre Determinación ha llegado a un momento decisivo. En la última generación, las iniciativas organizativas de las Naciones Originarias de los Pueblos Indígenas de Abya Yala han ganado un reconocimiento colectivo dentro de los regímenes geopolíticos continentales y globales de los estados y sus respectivos constituyentes nacionales. La Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas, adoptada el 13 de septiembre de 2007, es un tal punto de referencia en la lucha contra más de cinco siglos de colonialismo y genocidio.

Sin embargo, fue la propia Asamblea General de la ONU la que en 2014 subvirtió el derecho al Consentimiento Libre, Previo e Informado adoptando un Plan de Acción Para Todo el Sistema para implementar la Declaración como una norma burocrática dentro de la ONU en lugar de una plataforma geopolítica internacional para normalizar los estándares de una futura Convención Internacional vinculante sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas.

El derecho de autodeterminación de los pueblos indígenas se está reduciendo a un proceso de nacionalización bajo el sistema Westfalia de soberanía estatal de las Naciones Unidas en violación del Derecho Humano internacional de autodeterminación indígena como "Pueblos, iguales a todos los demás pueblos ..."




Marcado desde el Primer Encuentro Indígena Continental de 1990 en Quito, Ecuador, la última asamblea continental de las Naciones y Pueblos Indígenas de Abya Yala ocurrió en 2013 en la V Cumbre Continental Abya Yala, en los Territorios del Cauca de la Nación Nasa en Colombia.

En 2020, en el espíritu de la autodeterminación y en defensa de la Integridad Territorial de la Madre Tierra, la Comisión Continental Abya Yala hace llamado no para haya otra cumbre mas, no para instalar un evento más. Hacemos un llamado para un despliegue y la realización de una EVENTUALIDAD continental, sincronizada en el Levantamiento y Emergencia de los Soles Mariposas de los Equinoccios de Primavera-Otoño de marzo y septiembre de 2020.

Hacemos un llamado para que cada Nación Original de Pueblos Indígenas de Abya Yala visione, organice y ejerza el Derecho de Libre determinación como Naciones Originarias de Pueblos Indígenas actuando en Alianza Continental y Confederación en defensa de la Integridad Territorial de la Madre Tierra.

Tales acciones deben realizarse y coordinarse de acuerdo con el Mandato de los Pueblos Originales actuando en responsabilidad colectiva como las Naciones Originarias de la Madre Tierra, guiadas por el conocimiento y el ejemplo de las Enseñanzas e Instrucciones Culturales de sus territorios tradicionales y cuencas ancestrales.

Ewcxa ma'wg pe'th y felicitar a Anne Nuorgam por la presidencia del Foro Permanente. Además, agradezco al fondo voluntario por otórgame la participaci6n en el Foro.

La organización que vengo representando es el Concejo Regional Indígena del Cauca - CRIC del sur occidente colombiano.

En el marco de trasmisión y proteccion de los conocimientos tradicionales de los pueblos indígenas de generación a generación en el contexto colombiano deseamos la pervivencia de los conocimientos ancestrales que se relacionan con el cuidado de la madre tierra, la paz, el derecho a la vida ya las garantías de vivir con dignidad, donde las lenguas es eje trasversal del ser indígena y es importante que en los campos de acción se siga fortaleciendo.

Las garantías por parte del Estado Colombiano en las ultimas décadas han sido acuerdos firmados fallidos, porque son mas de 1,200 acuerdos que NO se han cumplido en las ultimas dos décadas y a lo largo de la historia. Por lo tanto, se realizo la minga social del suroccidente por 32 días donde 25 mil personas estuvimos en Caldono el corazón de la minga.

Sin embargo, no ha sido posible dicha comunicación con el presidente colombiano. Las solicitudes que realizamos son Cuidado, protección y defensa de nuestra Madre Tierra, la Defensa y garantías para vida, los Derechos Humanos y la Paz, el desmonte del paramilitarismo en Colombia, ser incluidos en el Plan de Desarrollo Nacional porque estábamos como anexo del mismo entre otros. La represión del Estado dejo 48 heridos con lesiones graves y leves por armas de fuego, un muerto, la estigmatización por parte del Estado al desacreditar a la minga coma terrorista, usar panfletos en la lengua nativa con amenazas, 38 investigaciones, 15 judicializados 6 con medida intramural. La minga no ha terminado seguimos en pie de lucha resistencia hasta el presidente en Colombia establezca la comunicación.

El pueblo nasa, población con mas hechos victimizantes registrados a partir de la firma de los acuerdos de paz hasta la fecha: 400 lideres con medidas de protecci6n individual, 224 amenazas, 12,528 indígenas confinados o privados, 5,730 indígenas victimas de desplazamiento forzado, 243 reclutamientos, 40 atentados. Grupo poblacional organizado con mas alto porcentaje de lideres y lideresas asesinados, 83 en el marco de la implementaci6n de los acuerdos de paz (desde noviembre de 2016 a diciembre del 2018) 36 en lo que va corrido el gobierno de Ivan Duque.

Recomendaciones para que el foro solicite a los Estados:

1.  Solicitar a los Estados garantías jurídicas y económicas que permitan que los pueblos indígenas del mundo puedan continuar fortaleciendo los conocimientos ancestrales

2.  Reconocer y visibilizar la importancia de las mujeres dadoras de vida y de las trasmisiones de los saberes ancestrales

3.  Las niñas y niños como el presente y futuro de los pueblos indígenas sean protegidos con especial atención porque son quienes continuaran. manteniendo vivo el conocimiento ancestral

Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca CRIC [Colombia]

Intervention during the 18th Session of the

UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

April 23, 2019   New York, NY

Ewcxa ma'wg pe'th and congratulations to Anne Nuorgam for her presidency of the Permanent Forum. In addition, I thank the Voluntary Fund for granting me participation here in the Forum.

The organization that I represent is the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca - CRIC of the south west of Colombia.

In the framework of transmission and protection of traditional knowledge of Indigenous Peoples from generation to generation in the Colombian context, we wish for the survival of ancestral knowledge related to the care of Mother Earth, peace, the right to life and the guarantees of living with dignity, where our language ​​is the transverse axis of the our indigenous being that must continue to be strengthened in the diverse fields of our actions.

The signed agreements of guarantees by the Colombian State over the last decades have been a failure, because there are more than 1,200 agreements that have NOT been fulfilled in the last two decades and throughout our history. Therefore, the Social Minga of the southwest was carried out for 32 days where 25 thousand people joined together in Caldono at the heart of the Minga.

However, the direct communication with the Colombian president has not been possible. The requests we make are Caretaking, protection and defense of our Mother Earth, Defense and guarantees for life, Human Rights and Peace, the dismantling of paramilitaries in Colombia, to be included in the National Development Plan because we were inserted only as an annex to it among others. The repression of the State left 48 wounded with serious and minor injuries by caused by firearms, one dead, the stigmatization by the State by discrediting the Minga as terrorist, using pamphlets in the native language with threats, 38 investigations, 15 prosecuted, with 6 of intramural measure. The Minga is not over, we continue to fight in resistance until the president in Colombia establishes the demanded communication.

The Nasa people, the population with the most victimizing events registered since the signing of the peace agreements to date: 400 leaders with individual protection measures, 224 threats, 12,528 indigenous people confined or deprived of liberty, 5,730 indigenous victims of forced displacement, 243 forced recruitments, 40 attacks. The Nasa are the population group whose organizations have with the highest percentage of leaders killed, 83 in the framework of the implementation of the peace agreements (from November 2016 to December 2018) and 36 during the government of President Ivan Duque.

Recommendations for the Forum to call upon the States:

1. Request States legal and economic guarantees that allow the world's Indigenous Peoples to continue strengthening our ancestral knowledge.

2. Recognize and make visible the importance of women as the givers of life and in the transmission of ancestral knowledge.

3. That indigenous children who are the present and future of Indigenous Peoples be protected with special attention because they are the ones who will continue to keep our ancestral knowledge alive.

The Fraud of Crown Title in Canada


The Fraud of Crown Title in Canada

A settler state apparatus that presents its international personality before the world community as being a successor state to the nefarious Doctrine Discovery of Christendom does not have the juridical competency nor standing in international law to legitimately abolish or force surrender of the land title of the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples.


The
Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples
are not ethnic groups of the settler states in the Americas.

Fraud and Collusion in British Columbia, Canada:
The Rise of Risk and Uncertainty for TC Energy 

Broken News: The Canadian government colludes with industry to commit the FRAUD of proposing a policy of criminal conspiracy intended to extract the surrender of Aboriginal Title to crown sovereignty. The scheme in British Columbia is designed in order to provide “certainty” for the settler state corporate interests through legaloid mechanisms whose goal is the extinguishment of aboriginal title.

Today in light of the Standoff at Wet’suwet’en, the fraud is fraught with fear - fear of the truth: A settler state apparatus that presents its international personality before the world community as being a successor state to the nefarious Doctrine Discovery of Christendom does not have the juridical competency nor standing in international law to legitimately abolish or force surrender of the land title of the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples.


Graffiti in Pahuatlán, Puebla, Mexico reads: “No to the Tuxpan–Tula Pipeline.”
The Tuxpan-Tula pipeline is one of seven TC Energy (TransCanada) projects in Mexico

[British Colombia, Canada] 
Relatives,

From here, from these mountains of the Sierra, our message to you is that although we may live far from each other, I believe that we have to continue fighting for our Mother Earth and to defend our natural resources for I believe that the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples are of the earth, and we are fully aware and convinced that our struggle is for life, for the life not only of our Indigenous Peoples but of the millions of people who inhabit this planet and therefore that we should not back down in our struggle, but on the contrary I believe we must look for linkages of communication so we can continue strengthening each other in the common struggle, and from here in Pahuatlán we shall also continue fighting to not let these mega-development projects advance in our traditional territories.

Today we extend our international recognition to the Territorial Protocols of the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs and Clans in full recognition and respect for having the force of International Law among our Confederations of Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples, and demand that these protocols of Indigenous Self Determination be ascribed to as the only future looking path to a just and peaceful relationship with the settler state systems as they now exist in North America, including Canada.

Arthur Manuel: Open Letter to Prime Minister Trudea

November 25, 2016

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU REGARDING THE PROPOSED KINDER MORGAN TRANSMOUNTAIN PIPELINE EXPANSION THROUGH SECWEPEMC TERRITORY

"I would like to remind you that this pipeline requires the consent of the Secwepemc people. We do not accept that the federal government can make this decision unilaterally and without the prior informed consent of the Secwepemc people as the rightful titleholders. Kinder Morgan has signed deals with a few Indian Band Councils’1 but neither the band councils nor Kinder Morgan have engaged with the Secwepemc people as the rightful titleholders. These agreements can only be made on behalf of their status as federal Indian Bands and do not represent the rightful titleholders. In fact, the agreements are made with Bands whose reserves cover less than 1% of the Secwepemc Territory along the existing Kinder Morgan Pipeline and they appear to be little more than cynical attempts to divide and conquer our people – as we have seen on so many other occasions."


A Concept of Native Title by Leroy Littlebear (1982)

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.
