DECLARACION U'WA POR LA VIDA
Las organizaciones, Pueblos y personas participantes en la
AUDIENCIA U'WA POR LA VIDA celebrada en el Territorio U'WA
(KUAKASHBARA), municipio de Cubara=A0, departamento de Boyaca=A0,
republica de Colombia, conscientes de la justicia de la causa del
Pueblo Indigena U'WA y de los peligros que amenazan hoy su
integridad fisica y cultural, social y economica y, de la
complicidad y desidia del gobierno colombiano, MANIFESTAMOS ante
la conciencia del mundo, que:
1. Los valores culturales, principios, normas que han nutrido
ancestralmente la conducta de los Pueblos Indigenas de Colombia,
son la fuente innegable de una legitimidad que permite regular
autonomamente la identidad, espiritualidad, manejo del territorio
y de los recursos naturales para la supervivencia de las presentes
y futuras generaciones.
El reconocimiento y proteccion de la diversidad e=82tnica y cultural
que hoy consagra y garantiza la Constitucion Politica de 1991,
supone necesariamente, la aceptacion de sistemas de comprension del
mundo, diferentes de los de la cultura occidental. En consecuencia,
la efectividad material de la diversidad cultural en el caso del
Pueblo U'WA, exige un dialogo de saberes en igualdad de
condiciones, honesto, no autoritario; vale decir, aceptacion plena
de la alteridad en sus multiples implicaciones concretas.
2. En virtud de la autonomia reconocida por la Constitucion
vigente, solo el Pueblo U'WA esta=A0legitimado para decidir cuanto
concierne a los recursos naturales en su territorio. Dentro de esta
perspectiva, consideramos que la reconstruccion territorial
mediante la constitucion del RESGUARDO UNICO U'WA es una
obligacion ineludible del Estado colombiano para garantizar su
supervivencia fisica y cultural.
3. En ejercicio del derecho consagrado en el articulo 23 de la
Constitucion Nacional, solicitamos a la Procuraduria General de la
Nacion que realice la investigacion correspondiente ante la
conducta omisiva de los funcionarios del gobierno nacional
colombiano que -invitados con una antelacion mayor de dos meses- se
negaron a asistir al presente evento para escuchar las razones que
asisten al Pueblo U'WA en la defensa de sus legitimos intereses
territoriales, ambientales, culturales, economicos y sociales.
4. Defender el uso sostenible de los recursos naturales y el
ambiente es un deber inaplazable e ineludible del Estado. Tales
recursos se conservan hoy, justamente porque los Pueblos Indigenas
han estado ahi y a pesar de las diversas formas de atropello a las
que se han visto sometidos, siguen manteniendo las estructuras que
permiten que haya vida. Por lo tanto, es justo reconocer, promover
y defender el gran conocimiento y amor con que estos Pueblos se han
relacionado con el Territorio y que junto a sus sistemas culturales
hacen parte integral del patrimonio de la nacion colombiana.
5. Dentro de esta linea de accion procederemos a la organizacion de
un Comite=82 encargado del estudio del problema de los Pueblos
Indigenas amenazados por proyectos petroleros, con el fin de
intercambiar experiencias, dar asesoria, coordinar acciones,
establecer formas de organizacion y, en general, dar respuestas
adecuadas comunes a este problema.
Firman las organizaciones, Pueblos y personas participantes en la
AUDIENCIA U'WA POR LA VIDA celebrada en KUAKASHBARA, Territorio
U'WA, Colombia, a los diecisiete (17) dias del mes de agosto de mil
novecientos noventa y seis (1996).-

Hi! I am new at E-mail, so please bear with me. I have one response to
these lyrics. I know of no one who leads a painless life, however, some
have more pain than others. I hope that in recognizing the pain of others
(any living thing or person), we don't conclude that it's "the way things
are". So we have pain, conflict, injustice and so on, lets go forward
with what we have to give and gain. I guess I'm unclear as to the point
of presenting the lyric. I probably missed some of the context?

I'm sorry folks. I seem to have started a totally irrelevant side-track. I
should have sent my enquiry to jason privately. It was just a personal
response to the poetry -C. I'm trying to encourage my right brain responses
- emotional rather than analytical response.
That said I'm all for a bit of balance so I don't mind responding to your
anaylsis

I think I responded to the words partly because of my frustration with
people around me who are comfortable and self-satisfied and therefore not
motivated to give any energy to the social change I believe is necessary.
Some of these people are in 'Goddess' and 'Ritual' groups. I have recently
read a book, I have lent it to someone so I do not have the reference at the
moment but it was called 'Pagan Rituals', which expressed the philosophy
behind these growing cults in a way which resonated with me. I am therefore
trying some things in my imagination to see how I feel about them. I felt
that those words had the feel of an invocation chant for a ritual. I like
the way they start by acknowledging that even my comfortable neighbours have
pain but take them beyond to an obviously more powerful pain, made obvious
by the emotional quality of the words. A complete ritual would have an
'absorption' or 'deepening' stage when the energy released by the invocation
is fitted into everyday consciousness and into committment to 'go forward
with what we have to give and gain' as you put it.
