It is not a list of individual persons who may be considered or recognised as indigenous. This list is grouped by region, and sub-region. Note that a particular group may warrant listing under more than one region, either because the group is distributed in more than one region (example: Inuit in North America and eastern Russia), or there may be some overlap of the regions themselves (that is, the boundaries of each region are not always clear and some locations may commonly be associated with more than one region).

2. Popular Mobilization Among Indigenous Peoples: Speaking The Language Of Internat
   Indigenous Language Usage and Maintenance among Indigenous Peoples in Mexico and Guatemala Indigenous Peoples Struggles and the JanusFaced Nature of International Human Rights Law  
   http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p17445_index.html
   
   Extractions: The language of international human rights has become a platform for organizing the international indigenous movement. Its emancipatory rhetoric has enabled indigenous peoples to claim legitimacy for their struggles against states. Speaking the language of rights has served the purpose of consciousness-raising of indigenous issues among governments and the public around the world. This rights-based strategy has also had indirect effects within the groups themselves. In this paper, I describe the consciousness-raising that is occurring within indigenous groups as they appeal to international law. I focus on the campaign of the Pimicikamak Cree Nation of Manitoba, Canada. I demonstrate that popular mobilization has been accompanied by both a revival of “customary” law and practices and an intra-group negotiation over the meaning of “custom.” Convention Convention is an application service for managing large or small academic conferences, annual meetings, and other types of events!

Bandera de los Pueblos See Also: image by Jan Oskar Engene, 5 December 1998 A colleague returned recently from an assignment in Guatemala and brought with him a photograph of a flag which was presented to him as the flag of the Mayas. The Maya flag is divided diagonally into four fields, the one closest to the hoist is white (for peace), the field in the fly end is yellow (for the sun), the top field is blue (for the sky) and the bottom field is red (for fire). The flag was fringed in light blue. The photographed flag also had a red stripe at the hoist, but this seems to be a sleeve for hoisting. My colleague was explained that these flags are not for sale in shops, so they are all home made. I don't know what the status of the flag is or anything about its history.

    Extractions: From 1998 to 2002, IMADR had been working with Youth Movement for Peace (Movimiento de Jovenes Para la Paz, MJP) based in Quetzaltenango to empower indigenous Mayan communities in Solola and San Marcos, rural communities is Guatemala, so they can actively participate in the peace process. This is carried out by increasing awareness of the Peace Agreements and peace process, enhancing the level of basic education available to allow more active participation in all spheres of life and decision-making, and developing youth leadership in the Mayan communities. From 2002 to 2006, IMADR supported the creation and operation of a community radio for Mayan communities, after it was proposed by MJP and the youth in Bocacosta. edit The home of Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu, Guatemala saw an end to a 36-year old civil war in December 1996. During the civil war, indigenous peoples suffered the most from human rights violations and massacres. The Peace Agreements guarantee the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples, who in Guatemala comprise a a large proportion of the population, but it has not been easy to overcome the discrimination against indigenous peoples having lived through 500 years of oppression after the Spanish invasion of America. Today, many indigenous peoples are fighting poverty and discrimination to build a true democratic, peaceful Guatemalan society. But the execution of the Peace Agreements is slow, and instead activists seeking to reveal the truth of the massacres during the war and promote indigenous peoples' rights are being threatened and murdered for their actions.

    http://www.mamalitathebook.com/tag/mayan-families/
    
    Extractions: Sunday, October 10th, 2010 This information about the status of indigenous peoples in Guatemala is posted on the Mayan Families website.  Sobering statistics. I find it unbelievable that at the same time UNICEF was reporting a 50% chronic malnutrition rate among indigenous children in Guatemala, it was lobbying hard to shut down international adoptions.  UNICEF has now stepped away from working with Guatemala to improve the proposed system. How does that make sense? Read excerpts from the Mayan Families website below: [Earlier this year], the United Nations released its State of the World’s Indigenous Peoples report. Throughout the report, the UN reiterates the fundamental importance of providing greater educational opportunities to indigenous children. “In Guatemala, only 54 per cent of indigenous girls are in school, compared with 71 per cent of indigenous boys. By age 16, only a quarter of indigenous girls are enrolled, compared with 45 per cent of boys.” ShareThis Tags: Guatemala adoption Mayan Families State of the World's Indigenous Peoples report UNICEF ...
