Honduran Resistance in the Streets of Tegucigalpa
Hundreds of thousands of Hondurans took to the streets on Wednesday, January 27 to protest the inauguration of Porfirio “Pepe” Lobo Soza. Lobo was the victor in fraudulent elections held last November and his new regime is seen by the Honduran resistance as a continuation and consolidation of the coup regime that first came to power by overthrowing democratically-elected President, Manuel Zelaya, on June 28, 2009. During the march I caught up with Rafael Alegria, a key leader in the National Resistance Front, and a leading Honduran figure in the international peasant movement, Via Campesina.

Obama and Clinton Use ‘Smart Power’ Against Honduras By Eva Golinger
(This article was written before the collapse of the latest deal to restore President Zelaya) Henry Kissinger said that diplomacy is the ‘art of restraining power’. Obviously, the most influential ideologue on US foreign policy of the twenty first century was refering to the necessity to ‘restrain the power’ of other countries and governments in order to maintain the dominant world power of the United States.

A DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THE TAWAHKA SUMU OF HONDURAS
KENDRA McSWEENEY
Keywords: demography, Honduras, indigenous peoples, population, Tawahka.
ABSTRACT:
Differing rates of population growth and degrees of genetic admixture have been reported for the Tawahka Amerindians of Honduras. In this article I use demographic techniques to explain those differences. My household surveys indicate a contemporary growth rate of 5 percent, due in part to a very high fertility rate; a review of historical sources suggests comparably rapid growth over the past fifty years. Although genealogies I compiled show high levels of genetic admixture since 1900, the Tawahka retain their language and identity, in part because early intermixing took place through exogamy by Tawahka women. The implications of rapid population growth are reviewed in light of the recent creation of the Tawahka Asangni Biosphere Reserve.

Pech people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For other uses, see Pech (disambiguation) The Pech are an indigenous people in northeastern Honduras , whose population, as of early , had been reduced to 3,800. The Pech language is a member of the Chibchan family of languages, and, although it is still spoken by older people, it is in danger of extinction in the relatively near future. Prior to about 1980, the Pech were known as Payas.
edit History
Social complexity began among the Pech or probable Pech speakers as long ago as 300 CE. The earlier Pech cultures may have developed independently of the Maya , their near neighbors, or they may have been influenced by Maya. In archaeological reckoning, the Pech formed a number of chiefdoms , some of which left archaeological remains of some sophistication, and certainly by the time of the Spanish exploration of the region in the early sixteenth century, the coastal regions were dominated by substantial chiefdoms. Spanish records of the mid-sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries refer to an paramount chiefdom called Taguzgalpa which dominated the region. Spanish attempts to conquer it in the sixteenth century were unsuccessful.

11. Indigenous Hondurans - Human Rights
REPORTS ON HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN HONDURAS. Indigenous peoples in Honduras are constantly having their human rights violated.
http://www.providence.edu/polisci/students/indianismo/human_rights.htm
REPORTS ON HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN HONDURAS Indigenous peoples in Honduras are constantly having their human rights violated. They are denied access to various resources and continuously struggle to protect their land and cultures. In addition seventy-five percent of their children have no access to education and eighty percent are malnutritioned (Martinez "Down With" 6). Often when they attempt to fight peacefully for their rights, their leaders are killed and the perpetrators are never brought to justice. Forty-one indigenous and Black leaders have been murdered in the last ten years, and not a single arrest has been made ("Indigenous and Black Peoples"). The Honduran government signed the 169th accord to the International Labor Organization (ILO)
ASSASSINATIONS
Recently, there have been various assassinations of indigenous and black leaders who were fighting to protect their land, culture and other human rights that are continuously denied in their communities. Each murder was very mysterious occurring just weeks and sometimes days after a land dispute or protest. Leaders of the Civic Council of Grassroots and Indigenous Organizations, "claim that the landowners and their allies in the armed forces are using assassinations to stop indigenous and black communities from demanding their historic right to land" (Martinez "Indigenous Leaders Murdered" 4).This is how the genocide that has been taking place for over 500 years continues.

Emergency in Bosawas
October 30, 2010 No Comments 39 Views Tweet Emergency in BOSAWAS – The Struggle of the Mayangna is an informative look at the struggle of Indigenous communities to protect the natural resources of Bosawas , the largest biosphere reserve in Central America. For centuries the Mayangna have lived in the forests of Nicaragua. Due to the persecution by European colonialists, they took refuge in the mountains of the Autonomous Region of the Northern Atlantic, where they still maintain their cultural traditions and livelihoods. In 1987, the Sandinista government passed the Atlantic Coast Regional Autonomy Law. The first of its kind in Latin America, the Autonomy law recognized the Mayangna and Miskito Peoples' communal right "to use and benefit from natural resources as well as their right to practice their traditional forms of land tenure and transfer", notes the World Rainforest Movement (WRM). However, while the law constituted a major victory for Indigenous Peoples, it was effectively brought in at the point of a gun. And despite its positive gains, cattle-farmers, land-traffickers, migrants and various companies wanting to exploit the region's natural resources have simply ignored it. Then, "In October 1991 the Nicaraguan government declared a large extension of the Atlantic Coast's indigenous territory as a National Reserve of Natural Resources, which is now widely known as Bosawas. This is the most extensive reserve in Central America, and in January 1998 it was declared Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. The Bosawas area is the home of 12 animal species under threat of extinction, and of 18 species already extinct in the Central American region. The core area of the Reserve is composed of 750,000 hectares of dense primary tropical rainforest," continues WRM.

Garifunas Against the Coup in Honduras
Posted by Maximilian C. Forte Labels: garifuna Honduras OFRANEH As the coup regime in Honduras, led by Roberto Micheletti who replaced the democratically elected Miguel Zelaya, completes almost two months in existence, Honduran Garifunas and indigenous peoples have vocally and publicly protested against the coup.
One of the first signs that Honduras' indigenous peoples condemned the coup came in the form of this statement on 01 July 2009:
Honduras National Indigenous Statement On Military Coup

Lenca, Pech, Miskitu, Garifuna, Tawahka, Maya-Chorti, Tolupa, Creole, Nahoa, Chorotega
Indigenous Peoples and Blacks in Honduras, through this document, we want to make our position clear and firm policy against the coup d'état in our country, in the terms we have agreed to express to the national and international public opinion:
a) To declare our strong condemnation and abhorrence at the national and international public opinion, the conspirators of the coup (Micheletti, armed forces and powers) supported by Ramón Custodio (Commissioner for Human Rights), Luis Rubio (Attorney General) , Judges of the Supreme Court of "Justice" and the Members of Congress representatives of the parties, Liberal, National, Pinu-Sd, and the Christian Democrats.
b) We demand the immediate unconditional return of the President of the Republic Don Manuel Zelaya Rosales, whom we recognize as our only president elected by us. Therefore we are unwilling to obey any order issued by Micheletti and his supporters.

Open letter concerning gold mining in Honduras
September 12, 2007 One Comment 2,610 Views Tweet After British and Canadian politicians visited Honduras to have a look at the problems associated with Goldcorp in the region, the Siria Valley Environmental Committee has authored the following open letter-discussing the historical and ongoing damages caused by the open pit gold mine in the Siria Valley (department of Francisco Morazan, Honduras) Thanks to rights action for sending this out. OPEN LETTER TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA
FROM THE SIRIA VALLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE We extend our welcome to Alexa McDonough, Canadian Member of Parliament, thanking her for her interest in learning in situ about the serious problems Canadian mining is causing in the communities of the Siria Valley, in the department of Francisco Morazán, Honduras. With her visit, we take the opportunity to communicate our position and demands to the Canadian government. The Siria Valley Regional Environmental Committee has been struggling for more than seven years against the Entre Mares mining company in Honduras, a subsidiary of the Canadian/US transnational corporation Goldcorp [formerly Glamis Gold]. Over these past seven years, we have been denouncing the grave environmental, social, economic and cultural impacts that the San Martin open pit gold mine has caused in our region. Communities are suffering from a severe lack of water due to the vast quantity of this vital liquid used by the company. This shortage has destroyed the local economy, previously based on agriculture and cattle ranching, in turn provoking a massive exodus of youth to Canada and the United States.

NATIONAL Monday October 26, 1998 Online Edition 129 WEEK IN REVIEW Reina's mother-in-law dies Dolores Reina Fiallos Watson, the mother-in-law of former President Carlos Roberto Reina, died of natural causes early Friday morning (Oct. 16), the daily La Tribuna reported. She was 99. Known as Dona Lolita, she was one of the leaders of the first feminist movement in Honduras and fought for human rights during the dictatorship of Tiburcio Carias Andino (1933-1949). In 1944, she took part in a march held in San Pedro Sula to demand the release of political prisoners and was one of the 30 demonstrators arrested. Her parents were Gen. Jose Maria Reina, who was vice president of Honduras, and Dolores Fiallos de Reina, a school teacher. She was married to the late Charles C. Watson. She is survived by five children, 27 grandchildren, and 32 great-grandchildren. Identity of remains confirmed Human remains unearthed last year near the community of Las Piramides in Comayagua department are those of Hans Albert Madisson Lopez, one of 184 people who were allegedly disappeared, tortured and executed by the military during the 1980s. Juan Carlos Diaz, who heads the Prosecutor's Office for Human Rights, told La Tribuna Oct. 14 that there is no doubt in his mind that the remains belong to Madisson even though it was not impossible to carry out a DNA test. He said the key to identifying the remains was a dental piece found at the site.
