Indigenous Wars - Nicaragua

Enviado por: journeymanpictures
Descripción del video:
January 1998
An excellent report that addresses the uncertain future for indigenous Nicaraguans as they fight against their own government and people.
An 80% unemployment rate and commercialisation of the Mosquito coast has encouraged a growing trade in Crack cocaine. On a tour of the Ghettos of 'Little Miami', multitudes of brothels, crack dens and bars line the streets. The Nicaraguan government is unsympathetic to the natives pleas for land titles and autonomy of the Atlantic coast. In a desperate attempt to hold on to what is, traditionally, their land; a group of natives, the Miskit Indians, has taken up arms against the government. The authorities respond aggressively with the planting of land mines, a step contrary to an international convention, of which Nicaragua is a signatory.

WRONG! latinos are the problem
i am mestizo of nicaraguan parents from managua. i am ashamed of the state of my people, why do we surpress our heritage, why do we forget it. I have no loyalty towards hispanics, latinos, the spanish language religion or culture. it is alien my blood is mestizo but i am still indigenous to the land. the european influence is just a colonial scar.
Embrace your true heritage

cac1qu3 we ... ( 2 semanas por vozdeloco)

cac1qu3 we Nicaraguans aren't Latinos nor hispanics nor indigenous, we r Nicaraguans, why? because we Nicaraguans look different than all those people, but something we can't deny is that we carry indigenous blood; europe, u.s.,australia can't go to Nicaragua and say rubbish, but indigenous people do deserve rights, and I know that the government is the one to blame, if the government doesn't want to do anything for those people than they should let the indigenous be independent.

i would agree with ... ( 2 semanas por cac1qu3)

i would agree with you. nicaraguans have the blood of miskito,rama,sumo, mayan, carribe and nahua indians; the blood of italians, germans, spanish europeans and the various west african peoples that inhabit the atlantic coasts. As a mestizo i will always be indigenous to this land i dont belong in europe or africa nor do i look lik i could. i am dark skinned with high cheek bone structure of the face and asiatic hair.
those are features of the nican tlaca people not blacks or europeans.

I am from ... ( 2 semanas por cac1qu3)

I am from Nicanahuac, and i reject the colonialism that destroyed my people. the past 500 years is irrelevent to what i am its not my fault i must have afew spanish great grandpas
but thats just a teaspoon of milk in a cup of coffee. its time for indigenous renaissance just lik the europeans did after rome fell to BARBARIANS and succumbed to the dark ages.well folks this is ourdark age and only by reclaiming the past can we do just like the europeans of the 16th century.

i cant say all ... ( 2 semanas por cac1qu3)

i cant say all nicaraguans are indigenous (criollos) but as long as we can work to gether to build this former colony then we can be one people as we have been for the past 300 years. the criollos can keep there culture but they have to acknowledge indigenous culture as the ruling culture in indigenous land where indigenous people are majority( this goes for mestizos as well learn ur true heritage)

I agree with you. I ... ( 1 semana por hamersmashdface1)

I agree with you. I am Salvadoran and I neither have loyalty to Spanish culture nor christian catholic religion. I looked up Nicaragua to ask you guys, what type of government is it currently run by? socialist?

In El Salvador, ... ( 1 semana por hamersmashdface1)

In El Salvador, natives were persecuted and killed because most of them were rebels against the government. If anyone dressed or spoke like a native, they were a target.

central america ... ( 1 semana por cac1qu3)

central america should unite under native and mestizo cultures not just the imperialist spanish culture. the departments should remain the same nicaragua guatemala el salvador etc... but we should unite heavily against anyone who wants to opress us(criollos and americans) nicaragua is run democratically by marxists
