CIPO-RFM: Who We Are and Why We Fight

Representatives from the Popular Indigenous Council of Oaxaca-Ricardo
Flores Magon will be speaking in Guelph about their work promoting social,
political and human rights including collective and individual land
rights.  They will also speak about projects that are designed to promote
self-sufficiency and community development in a way that respects local
culture and ecosystems while actively defending land, nature and
resources.

CIPO-RFM is an organization of 30 autonomous 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.  Our communities demand
respect for our territories, our way of life, our way of seeing the world,
our way of organizing, our language, and our 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 Six Nations land near caledonia.

This event is being organized by the North Eastern Federation of
Anarco-Communists (NEFAC) Ici La Otra,  and the
Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Movement -Guelph  (IPSM)
