Credit: INDEPA LIMA, Mar 26 2013 (IPS) - In the dense Amazon rainforest of Peru, there are five reserves inhabited by indigenous groups who have chosen to remain totally or partially isolated from the rest of society. But these areas are not officially demarcated as indigenous lands, and only one is protected with a control post. The authorities responsible for them are now attempting to reinforce protection of these vulnerable populations, ignored for years by the state. “A reserve is an instrument to protect the rights of these communities, who have found themselves obliged to live in isolation due to a series of violations they have suffered, particularly during the rubber boom. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net WOUNDED KNEE -BURY MY HEART UNDER A PILE OF MEDALS http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1363014951 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net GENOCIDE IN GUATEMALA http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1360246040 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net Canadian politicians involved in Aboriginal women killings: Alfred Lambremont Webre http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1356107316 Dec. 20, 2012 An international lawyer says that there is a cover up by Canada’s ruling class and its police over disappearance and killings of Aboriginal women and children in Canada. In the background of this, Amnesty International has issued a damning report of serious violation of human rights in Canada concerning the indigenous people, women and refuges/migrants. Most concerning is the government’s police kidnapping aboriginal children from schools and away from their parents, at gun point, to put them in child care centers. The Canadian government has also recently lodged a Bill C45 through parliament to change the rules about aboriginal land and its recourses, which have been unofficially violated for some time and which has triggered protests and hunger strikes. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net United Nations, Iran highlight Harper government coverup of genocide of Canada's Indigenous: Rev.

Police fired tear gas and bean bag rounds, and one protester, Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen, suffered a skull fracture during the melee. Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan promised an investigation into whether police used excessive force during the clash, but the incident, which has received international attention, is just the latest in a long string of troubles for the Oakland police. Since 2003, the department has been monitored by a federal judge as a result of a consent decree with the federal government. The decree came following a scandal in which four police officers, who nicknamed themselves “The Riders,” were accused of beating up and robbing suspects and planting evidence while they worked the night shift in a poverty stricken neighborhood in West Oakland.
