Indigenous people are called "first peoples", tribal people, aboriginal, indigenous, native, minorities, etc.. Predate the formation of the United Nations, IPs are those who have survived the colonial expansion, are linked to a specific territory and have socio-cultural structures (language, religion, economics, politics).

Page 4: INDIGENOUS  PEOPLES

While recent years have seen major global sociopolitical changes that led to the establishment of new legal norms and constitutional frameworks, national and international - in favor of Indigenous Peoples, still immersed in situations of exclusion, exploitation, assimilation, and realities linked to the violation of their rights, particularly the "territorial” right.

MAJOR PROBLEMS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TODAY

Land Conflicts

Today almost 60% of indigenous communities have the legal, permanent settlement of their land. On the one hand, by 2013, the State agreed to a beneficial owner of 279,000 hectares of indigenous lands. With that 70% of the communities could have legal land titles, but on the other hand, on behalf of titled lands for indigenous INDI not guarantee the security of the trend of land, for example. Itakyry cases, Alto Paraná and Makutinga, Itapúa.

Page 11: INDIGENOUS  PEOPLES

EARTH-TERRITORY The construction of the Itaipu and Yacyreta

companies in indigenous territories and integration misunderstood, have led many communities to critical situations. Until today there is no response from the national authorities.

Page 12: INDIGENOUS  PEOPLES

EARTH-TERRITORYOverbilling on land purchases by the INDI, overlay titles, soybean production and contamination of territories.

The soy farmers and ranchers who have weakened the capacity of land and damaged streams.

Conflicts between Indigenous lands and traditional territories, case Ache - Ava Guarani, farm 470.

MAJOR PROBLEMS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TODAY

Deforestation

Roll indiscriminate extraction of indigenous territories for marketing.

Leasing of Indigenous lands for mechanized agriculture environmental havoc, causing multiple diseases in communities.

Replacement of native forests by large expanses of soybeans, colonial pastures or other commercial plantations, including tree plantations.

MAJOR PROBLEMS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TODAY

Indigenous migration to the cities

Since 2000 there is a mass migration of Indigenous to the capital and other cities; causes: lack of land, deforestation, pesticides and diseases.

 The increasing migration of people to the

cities results to uprooting from their habitat and their families, prostitution, drug addiction, alcoholism and labor exploitation.

Growing racism towards urban indigenous Paraguayan citizens

Page 22: INDIGENOUS  PEOPLES

DIFFICULTIES IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION

The indigenous illiteracy rate is still very high, 40.2% of Indigenous cannot read or write.

No set features of a curriculum that allows culture to be integrated in the contents.

Ignorance or lack of understanding of the concept ofIndigenous education by MEC officials.

Lack of a budget for educationindigenous education.
