Peru: Indigenous Peoples and Globalization (PER) Peru: Indigenous Peoples and Globalization Programs Find a Program Choosing a Program Program Availability ... Faculty Key Features In the Peru: Indigenous Peoples and Globalization study abroad program, students examine Peru's traditional and contemporary indigenous societies in the context of both Peruvian identity politics and the transnational pressures of globalization. With 35-45 percent of the country's population identifying as either campesino or as a member of a native Amazonian community, Peru is an ideal location to analyze the pressures indigenous groups are currently facing. Students are challenged to scrutinize the complex effects of multiple identities, transition, identity politics, and marginalization visible in Peru today. Program Components In addition to the in-country orientation and concluding re-entry and wrap-up exercises, the program consists of the following components: A six-week homestay in Cusco during which students take intensive Spanish and Quechua language instruction and begin their Field Study Seminar and interdisciplinary seminar on Indigenous People and Globalization A three-week period in which students conduct field studies and complete educational excursions A four-week Independent Study Project Cusco Field Study and Research Field-based exercises are an essential component of the Peru: Indigenous Peoples and Globalization program. The Field Study Seminar (FSS) focuses on the concepts of learning across cultures and from field experience. Material includes:

A large number of Kichua and Arabela indigenous people have for two weeks blockaded one of the Amazon's main tributaries, the Río Napo, in response to the violation of their rights by oil companies and Peru's government. The protesters have blocked the Napo with canoes and a cable to stop oil company vessels getting upriver at Santa Clotilde, Napo district, Maynas province, Loreto region. According to Survival International, two boats, including one from the Anglo-French company Perenco , have managed to break through the blockade. Three shots were allegedly fired at the Indians who chased after them.

On 5 June, heavily armed police attacked them at a section of the Fernando Belaunde Terry highway in Bagua province known as ‘Devil’s Bend’. By the evening of 6 June, up to 70 civilians and police had been killed and some 115 wounded in the bloodiest single attack on indigenous peoples by the state since President Fujimori’s death squads and forced sterilisation campaign in the 1990s. More than 70% of Peru’s Amazon rainforest was divided into concessions for oil and gas extraction between 2003 and 2008. The latest protests are against 11 presidential decrees applying the 2006 US-Peru Free Trade Agreement which affect hundreds of thousands of indigenous people, and fast-track large-scale farming, logging and the private acquisition of land in the Amazon. The legislature revoked two of the eleven decrees in August 2008 after locals blocked highways, waterways and a state oil pipeline. In Congress, President Alan Garcia simply boycotted debates on reports recommending the removal of the remaining nine.

28. Peru - History & Culture P eru is best known as the heart of the Inca empire, but it was home to many diverse indigenous cultures long before the Incas arrived. http://www.geographia.com/peru/peruhistory.htm

PERU P The decline of the Chavìn and Sechìn cultures around the 5th century BC gave rise to a number of distinctive regional cultures. Some of these, including the Saliner and the Paracas, are celebrated for artistic and technological advances such as kiln-fired ceramics and sophisticated weaving techniques. From the Paracas arose the Nazca, whose legacy includes the immense and cryptic Nazca Lines. However, the accomplish- ments of these and other early Peruvian civilizations seem today to pale in comparison to the robust pre-Columbian civilization of the Inca. The most startling feature of the great Inca empire was its brevity. In 1430, the realm of the Inca consisted of little more than the river valley around Cuzco. Less than a century later, through conquest and a canny policy of incorporating the best features of the societies they subjugated, the Incas controlled a vast territory of almost 1 million square kilometersa dominion that extended from northwest Argentina to southern Colombia. The Incan capital, at Qosqo, was undoubtedly the richest city in all of the Americas, with temples literally sheathed in heavy gold plate. Although Qosqo's architecture remains only in fragments and foundations, the architectural accomplishment of the Inca's has survived intact at the astounding ceremonial centre of Machu Picchu. In 1532, at the height of its power, the Inca empire was driven by a war of succession. In one of the great tragedies of history, it was at precisely this moment that Francisco Pizarro and his band of Spanish conquis- tadors arrived on the scene. Showing an uncanny ability to turn circumstances to his own advantage, Pizarro used deception and guile to gain a personal meeting with Atahualpa, the Inca ruler, whom he coolly assassinated. In the face of fierce resistance, Pizarro and his men seized Cuzco and sacked the city. Although the Incas continued to fight for the next several years, their empire had ended and Spanish rule had begun.

For other indigenous people see Indigenous peoples (disambiguation) Indigenous peoples in Peru pueblos indígenas in Spanish) comprise a large number of distinct ethnic groups who inhabited the country's present territory prior to its discovery by Europeans around 1500. The first Spanish explorers called them índios ("Indians"), a name that is still used today. Indigenous peoples in Peru form about 45% of the total population (14 million). citation needed The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2001–2003) estimated the proportion of indigenous in the overall population as 31%. At the time of the Spanish invasion, the indigenous peoples of the Amazon Basin were mostly semi- nomadic tribes who subsisted on hunting, fishing, gathering, and migrant agriculture. Those in the Andes and to the west were dominated by the Inca , who had a complex, hierarchical civilization that built many cities and major temples and monuments with highly skilled stone masonry. Many of the estimated 2000 nations and tribes present in 1500 died out as a consequence of the Spanish conquest , especially because of associated infectious diseases, and many survivors were assimilated into the general mestizo (mixed-race) Peruvian population. Most of the surviving indigenous groups, such as the

A statement from Peru's alliance of Amazonian peoples organization, AIDESEP , adds that the Matsés reject exploration on their land because "there is no sign of any development in communities which have permitted exploration—only environmental contamination and more poverty." AIDESEP says that the Matsés have written to Peru's President Alan Garcia, saying they do not want to leave their homes for "fictitious promises that—in all the years of exploration in other parts of the Peruvian Amazon—have not led to the improvement of indigenous peoples' lives." The Matsés are still waiting a reply from President Garcia. Under Peruvian law, subsoil rights remain the property of the state even when indigenous communities hold legal title to the land. (
