Conclusions
and recommendations of the First Forum of
Indigenous Intellectuals and Researchers
Working Group on the
Rights of Indigenous Peoples
That the
Andean Community General Secretariat should
send both the governments and indigenous
organizations in the respective countries
information about the situation of the
Working Group on Indigenous Peoples so that
they can make the necessary decisions to
make it viable within three months’ time.
That those
of us attending should use our influence
over the indigenous organizations of the
Andean Community countries to promote the
reestablishment and operation of the Working
Group on Indigenous Peoples.
Strategies
to follow up on the “Community of the
Knowledge, Wisdom and Art of the Indigenous-Native
Peoples”
At the
Organizational level
Continue
practical Subregional integration efforts
through the organized mobilization of
Indigenous Peoples, particularly those
living on the national borders, with a
program adjusted to each circumstance
Establish a regular annual meeting
Draw up
regulations, with objectives and a working
program
Incorporate more brothers working with
indigenous knowledge and art, particularly
the wise carriers of age-old knowledge (Yachak,
Yatiris, and Paccos, etc.)
Incorporate other natural allies, like
representatives of peoples of African
descent
Maintain
and exercise indigenous autonomy in our
work and establish multiple forms of
coordination and organization.
Make the
“Community of the Knowledge, Wisdom and
Art of the Indigenous-Native Peoples” a
vehicle for plural and open debate as an
example of the future plurinational state.
At the
Academic and Research Level
Organize
and develop an indigenous professorship in
the Andean Community Member Countries and
offer it to their universities and
institutes.
Become
involved in the organization of university
curricula in order to incorporate the
wisdom, knowledge and art of indigenous
peoples.
Schedule a plan for
research on and application of indigenous
knowledge and plan its development and
start-up.
Schedule debates on
structural, immediate and everyday issues
of our peoples’ situation.
Program
intensive training courses in indigenous
knowledge, wisdom and art by offering
fellowships to young indigenous leaders
and intellectuals connected with their
organizations.
Prioritize oral-auditive knowledge
(audiovisual support) over written
knowledge (printed-written-phonetic).
Program
the decolonization and decodification of
issues, concepts and symbols of our
indigenous reality.
Assume
the commitment to study and deepen the
cosmic vision, knowledge and know-how of
the indigenous Andean-Amazon peoples.
Systematically organize knowledge
experiences in general.
Support
the efforts at interrelationship among and
integrate the academic and educational
institutions being created by indigenous
peoples (universities, School of
Government, institutes, etc.)
Support
the creation of indigenous healing centers
and houses.
Support
the establishment of teaching centers of
the indigenous school of knowledge and
actively influence schools in general.
Support
the establishment of indigenous art
centers for the teaching, exhibition and
marketing of indigenous art.
At the
Publication and Communication Level
Create
an Editorial Fund for the publication and
massive dissemination of indigenous works
through books, CDs, DVDs, and audiovisual
tapes (TV, Movies, etc.).
Safeguard the property rights of
indigenous people, inasmuch as
publications referring to indigenous
peoples have served as the basis for
intellectual piracy.
Disseminate and exchange information aimed
at the integration of peoples through
teleconferences, magazines, newspapers and
other media.
