ABYA YALA NEXUS


WELCOME!

The Abya Yala Nexus is a site for Indigenous peoples and their allies to share information, images, connections, and ideas in the struggle for self-determination and cultural continuance. Please register if you would like to be a contributor to our site.




Our History:
The Abya Yala Nexus, named after a Kuna word for continental life, is a continuation of the Abya Yala Fund and the earlier South and Meso-American Indian Information Center. SAIIC was founded in in 1983 in Oakland, California by Indigenous people residing in the San Francisco Bay area and their allies (some of then the University of California, Berkeley) for the purpose of linking the Indigenous People of the Americas. This organization published the journal "Abya Yala News"and "Noticias de Abya Yala", which presented articles and news from Indigenous Peoples' perspective.

The next iteration, the Abya Yala Fund, was comprised of South and Central American and Mexican Indigenous people and was well known for its dedication to helping grassroots Indigenous organizations find support for self-development projects and its work on autonomy issues.

Our most recent transformation, as the Abya Yala Nexus, aims to meet Indigenous People's current needs for analysis and news from an indigenous perspective and responds to the global level of the problems and issues facing Indigenous Peoples.

Abya Yala is now in the process of being reshaped as a network of connections and exchanges between Indigenous people, communities, organizations, and allied scholars, human rights organizations and activist in support of the struggle for autonomy and self-determination and their human rights.

Nuestra Trayectoria:
El Nexo Abya Yala, cuyo nombre significa "continente de vida" en el idioma Kuna, es la continuacion del Fondo Abya Yala y el anterior Centro de Informacion Indigena de Sur y Centro America (SAIIC) en Oakland, California. SAIIC se establecio en Oakland, (La bahia de san Francisco) en 1983 por personas Indigenas residentes en California juntos con sus aliados (algunos de ellos de la Universidad de California en Berkeley) con el fin de conectar los Pueblos Indígenas de las Americas. Esta organizacion publicaba la revista "Abya Yala News" y "Noticias de Abya Yala", lo cual presentaba articulos y noticias desde la perspectiva de los Pueblos Indigenas y se distribuia en todo el continente

La siguiente etapa, como el Fondo Abya Yala, compuesto por Indigenas de Sur y Centro America y Mexico, se conocia por su apoyo a las organizaciones Indígenas de base en la busqueda de apoyo para sus proyectos de auto-desarrollo y autonomia.

Nuestra ultima evolucion, en el Nexo Abya Yala, plantea responder a la actual necesidadque tienen los Pueblos Indigenas de intercambiar analisis y noticias de perspectiva Indigena y al mismo plano transnacional en que existen sus problemas y luchas. Hoy día, Abya Yala está en el proceso de volver a nacer como un nexo, una red entre los Indigenas, sus comunidades, organizaciones, y aliados en apoyo de la lucha por la autonomia, la auto-determinacion y sus derechos humanos.

Hi -I'm reorganizing and cleaning up in the hope this will make the site easier to use. Also we are building an AYN site for the rest of what we do. We'll eventually be at www.abyayalanexus.net
