Los sistemas jurídicos indígenas frente al derecho estatal en México. Una defensa del pluralismo jurídico

Numero 118 Enero - Abril 2007 ISSN 0041 8633 LOS SISTEMAS JURIDICOS INDIGENAS FRENTE AL DERECHO ESTATAL EN MEXICO. UNA DEFENSA DEL PLURALISMO JURIDICO Orlando ARAGON ANDRADE * In this study, the author reflects on the necessity to modify the structures and relations of power that prevail in Mexico, and explains that the recognition of indigenous legal systems in equal terms with respect to the national legal system and the existence, by consequence, of a true legal pluralism, would satisfy one of the most important demands of indigenous peoples. In his opinion, the struggles of indigenous peoples have the purpose of transforming the model of the Nation-State that has marginalized and excluded them, but also can be seen as a tool that could contribute to produce a more democratic and just life to the Mexican society at large.

Focus on regulation theory

The struggles of indigenous peoples for recognition of their rights to their customary land and resources are almost as common as the treaties that guide them. Governments of many countries have been, or are currently, involved in creating redress packages for these indigenous people. The people of these native groups often live in sub-standard socio-economic conditions, having low incomes and high unemployment. The way in which indigenous people use the redress packages or settlements will have substantial effects on their long-term socio-economic status. This paper looks at economic development theory, in particular, regulation theory, focusing on how indigenous peoples' rights to land and resources, and the settlements that result, can be utilised to create sustainable economic development. It draws from the experience of the New Zealand Maori, in particular the Ngai Tahu and Tainui tribes, to outline in terms of their land rights and how their ability to exercise these rights have affected economic development.

An Indigenous People's Struggle for Socially Equitable and Ecologically Sustainable Production: The Kayapo Revolt Against Extractivism

Over the past decade, some leaders of the Kayapo enriched themselves granting concessions to Brazilian minors and loggers to operate Kayapo land. In late 1994, the Gorotire Kayapo revolted against the mining concession granted; soon other Kayapo communities, supported by the Federal Police/joined them expelling mines and loggers from their areas. The Kayapo are now developing alternative, environmentally sustainable sources of income. This historic development is the outcome of internal Kayapo social and political dynamics as well as non‐indigenous political and economic forces.
