CONAIE
, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador, was founded in 1980. It is a non-profit, independent organization that encourages Indigenous peoples to come together and discuss their plight. By working together, they hope to create a single, consolidated voice that will finally be heard on a national level. Presently, CONAIE represents ten different indigenous organizations within Ecuador and has become one the most prominent organizations in the country. CONAIE meets every three years to evaluate the organization and to select new members to the leadership positions. The group is broken down into seven different leadership positions: President
Vice President
Secretary of Territory, Natural Resources, Environment, and Development

Countries Appendix ECUADOR (40.2%)
Ecuador has a terrible conservation record and has pursued rigorous economic development while totally disregarding its diverse environment and its indigenous peoples. Oil exploration, logging, and road-building has had disastrous effects of Ecuador's rainforests which are now less than 40% of their original cover. Ecuador has the highest deforestation rate in South America (1.6%), at a loss of 466,800 acres (189,000 hectares) of forest annually.
Logging in Western Ecuador (coastal and low Andean) areas is responsible for the loss of 99% of the country's rainforest in this region. Historically logging companies have moved into an area which they selectively cut the commercially valuable and leave the remaining vegetation. After they pull out, vast stretches of logging roads remain which are rapidly followed by colonists who colonize the surrounding forest areas. These colonists cut or burn the remaining forest for agriculture or cattle grazing. Ecuador is one of the world's largest producers of logs.
Unfortunately, despite this suit, oil exploration and pollution continues in the Oriente region of Ecuador. Ecuador has dropped out of OPEC so it could raise oil quotas and awarded new oil concession within untouched rainforest inhabited by indigenous groups. Among the oil companies participating are U.S. based Marxus, Mobil, Amoco, Triton, and Santa Fe. Marxus, with the largest operations of these firms have taken up right where Texaco left off, spilling 55,000 gallons of oil into Amazonian tributaries.

Indigenous Leaders Elected to Ecuador's National Congress
On Sunday, May 19, 1996, Ecuador held national elections. For the
first time in Ecuador an Indigenous person was elected as a National
Congressperson (diputado nacional). Luis Macas, a Quichua Indigenous
from the Saraguro community in the Loja province was elected to the
National Congress as a representative of the Movimiento Pachakutec which
is part of the coalition party Movimiento Nuevo Pais (Movement for a New
Country). Three other Indigenous leaders were elected in three other
provinces. Jose Aviles was elected as the representative of the Napo
province. Leonidas Isa was elected as the representative for the Cotopaxi province. Miguel Yuco was elected as the representative for

This thesis seeks to answer the question of why ethnic identity has served as a basis for mobilisation among the indigenous peoples of the Ecuadorian highlands, but not among the indigenous peoples of highland Peru. Ecuador and Peru can be regarded as similar countries as they share a number of background characteristics. However, during the 1990s Ecuador had the strongest indigenous movement in Latin America, while no national indigenous movement appeared in Peru. In a Latin American context Peru can be seen as a deviant case, as indigenous movements have developed in all of the other countries with large indigenous populations. While ethnic conflict constitutes a challenge to the "new" democracies in Latin America with large indigenous populations, ethnicity and ethnic cleavages in the region remain an understudied topic. My approach to the research question is therefore exploratory. On the basis of a discussion of ethnicity theory, theories of nation-building and modernisation, and social movement theory, I develop three main variables which are operationalised by four indicators each. The variables are: 1) ethnic boundaries and group differences; 2) state- and nation-building policies pursued by the state; and 3) the potential for mobilisation of highland indigenous peoples. The variables provide the headings for the three chapters of the analysis.

Ecuador has over the past few years been subjected to a series of drastic economic austerity measures, the most dramatic of which has been the introduction of the US dollar as the national currency. The plight of the country's poor is worsening steadily. It is chiefly the indigenous Ecuadorian population (constituting approximately 40% of the country's population) which has been hardest hit. During the past decade, the Indigenous Peoples' movement has grown markedly. The international development agencies and NGOs support demands for the establishment of a multi-ethnic state. Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) has been involved in Ecuador since 1986. 1997 saw an intensification of our efforts. Prioritised activities include working alongside popular organisations and indigenous peoples' groups, particularly in the sphere of human rights, organisation-building, and participation in local government bodies Scope of Norwegian People's Aid involvement
The Norwegian People's Aid program in Ecuador is being implemented in cooperation with popular organisations and indigenous organisations. Gender equality and environmental concerns are integrated in all projects. NPA supports projects for women, indigenous peoples' groups, farmers' organisations, and coastal fishermen. The projects are scattered over the entire country, along the coast, in the highlands, and in the Amazon basin, and covers the country not only geographically but also in terms of ethnicity.

Ecuadoran Groups Speak Out After Winning Roll-Back of IMF Conditions
In January and February 2001, many sectors of Ecuadoran society, with the indigenous groups in the lead, rose up against the oppressive economic policies being implemented at the behest of the IMF. At least four people were killed by government forces in the course of the civil society actions, and several others injured or detained. The 50 Years Is Enough Network organized a demonstration in support of the actions outside the Ecuadoran embassy in Washington, and then participated in a meeting with the Ambassador. On February 7, the leading indigenous organizations, after long negotiations, arrived at an agreement with the government for a roll-back of some of the most damaging components of the IMF program. Below is a statement from those groups and others active in the struggle in Ecuador to progressive activists around the world.

EGO: The Ecuadoran Geodetic/Geophysical Observation
Or: Running for your life in the Amazon of Ecuador
In January and February of 1994 a geophysical study was conducted in the Oriente of Ecuador as well as accross the Andes to the west coast. EGO was carried out throught the use of seven Trimble 4000SSE receivers and four roving teams of two persons each. Each team had a LaCoste-Romberg gravimeter and a GPS receiver for positioning. Total time for a complete station occupation was five to ten minutes with a resulting accuracy of a few centimeters in elevation and 0.01mGal in gravity. GPS was also successfully used for navigation in the jungle. Between roads, trails and helicopters 1500 stations were observed during EGO. Below is a gravity map of Ecuador created from the 1994 survey. Borders are shown as solid black lines, the boxes plotted are where detailed terrain corrections have been applied. The dashed purple line represents a digitized portion of the geologic cross section from the Geologic Map of Ecuador (Instituto de Geologicas e Minas, 1982) which has been compared to the gravity and will appear in corrected format in publication soon. The enormous gravity low running north-south in the plot implies that the Andes are not isostatically compensated. click here to see a 3-D plot of the topography of Ecuador at 5 minute grid intervals.

What effect do multinational corporations have on third world countries? PURPOSE/RATIONALE/GOALS OF THE DAY'S LESSON
The purpose for this lesson is to teach about multinational corporations in the global economy. There has been much discussed lately about the negative impact of multinational corporations on indigenous peoples. Many times these corporations profit off the blood and sweat of the indigenous peoples while the indigenous peoples receive no benefits. Ecuador is no different; Indigenous people have been pushed off their land and even killed for what lies beneath the ground, petroleum. The goal of today's lesson is to demonstrate that multinational corporations need to not only protect the land, but also the people when operating in other countries. OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate the role of multinational corporations on the indigenous peoples of Ecuador;

Durston.

Protest in Ecuador escalates – indigenous peoples and citizen’s groups call for repeal of IMF-imposed structural adjustment policies Government responds with repression, several indigenous people killed or wounded, hundreds arrested by Stephanie Weinberg at DevelopmentGAP and the International Secretariat of the Structural Adjustment Participatory Review Initiative (SAPRI) - February 6, 2001 Indigenous peoples in Ecuador have been mobilizing over the past month to demand the repeal of new IMF-backed economic measures announced by the Ecuadoran government in late December as part of an ongoing structural adjustment program. The measures involve the removal of subsidies on cooking fuel and gasoline, causing the former to double in price and the latter to increase by 25%, and a 75% increase in transportation costs. The IMF's insistence on the application of these measures as well as a 3% increase in the value-added tax which is still pending has put access to dignified living conditions even further beyond the reach of large segments of the Ecuadoran population. The escalating protests in recent days are not only in response to these economic measures but to the overall structural adjustment program that has intensified with Ecuador's conversion to the US dollar last year. Beginning on 21 January, indigenous groups led by CONAIE (Confederation of Indigenous Nations of Ecuador) organized marches and blockaded roads in the countryside and cities in half of the country's 22 provinces. Farmworkers, students and others also joined in supporting these protests. The government sent military forces to disperse many of these peaceful demonstrations with force, using teargas and weapons, that resulted in several indigenous people injured, some by bullets, and several hundred arrested.

Health of indigenous people: a challenge for public health
Washington, DC, August 15, 2002 (PAHO) Although the term indigenous people in the Americas is widely used, that generalization encompasses more than 400 different ethnic groups, with different beliefs and different health practices. This diversity presents a challenge for public health in the Americas, where indigenous peoples are among the most excluded. The response of the Pan American Health Organization is its Health of Indigenous Peoples Initiative, started in 1993, which signifies a commitment by PAHO and its Member States to work with indigenous peoples to improve their health and well being. It is also a recognition of the value and need to conserve indigenous cultural heritage and knowledge. Photos

Serious health and social problems still exist for the estimated forty-three million indigenous peoples living in the Americas. Recent studies have indicated that these peoples are among the most poor and disadvantaged, and each of the more than 400 ethnic groups "has its own beliefs and practices with regard to health, as well as their own community resources for health promotion, disease prevention or cure of common ills," explains Dr. Sandra Land, PAHO's regional adviser in local health services. The initiative for health of indigenous peoples was launched due to the inequalities that existed in health status and in access to basic services between those communities and other social groups. Indigenous communities have higher rates of avoidable mortality and morbidity and lower life expectancy at birth, and many of them do not have regular access to essential health care due to economic, geographical, or cultural barriers.
