Zapatistas Select Yaqui To Host Intercont. Summit

Dear Colleague,

Zapatista comandantes and representatives of Indigenous movements on both sides of the US-Mexico border announced on Sunday that the Indigenous Intercontinental Summit will take place October 11-14 near Guaymas, Sonora, on the lands of the Yaqui people.

Brenda Norrell was there and reported for Narco News readers:

"'At this moment, we want to let the Indigenous Peoples of Mexico, Canada, the United States, Central America, South America and the whole world know what we are planning,' Comandante David said in an interview here, speaking in Spanish.

"...The declaration for the Indigenous Intercontinental Conference, signed April 22, states that it has been 515 years since the invasion of ancient Indigenous territories and the onslaught of the war of conquest, spoils and capitalist exploitation.

"...Marcos held private meetings with Indigenous to organize the intercontinental conference and listen to concerns of Indigenous Peoples from different regions of Mexico and the United States."
