[Indigsol] CIPO-RFM write up

[mattm-b at resist.ca]

Consejo Indigena Popular de Oaxaca "Ricardo Flores Magon":

CIPO-RFM is an organization of indigenous communities in construction and
contradiction. It is an organization that fights for autonomy and
self-determination so that communities can have their own governments and
laws, without alliance to particular parties and with their own identified
needs as their priority. Their communities demand respect for their
territories, their way of life, their way of seeing the world, their way of
organizing, their language, and their culture.

The nature of the resistance of Indigenous Peoples in “Mexico” to state
and corporate attempts to appropriate their lands and to assimilate them
highlights the transnational aspect of the struggle for Indigenous Rights
and the importance of solidarity with Indigenous Peoples. This is
especially relevant in “Canada” given historical events as well as recent
and ongoing attacks on Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination such
as the illegal sale of Kahnonstaton (formerly Douglas Creek estates) near
Caledonia.
