After months of clinical trials by many companies in different countries, several vaccines, which  are 94-95% effective, have finally been approved and are now making their way to hospitals, clinics and doctors rooms. Successful trials of the vaccines have taken place with medical professionals and the elderly. Vaccines against COVID-19 will be available to us soon.

Limited access to basic health services remains a big problem for Indigenous communities across all continents. Indigenous populations in many countries have experienced poorer health outcomes compared to non-Indigenous populations. Mainstream health services have not adequately met the health needs of Indigenous Peoples in both rural and urban settings.

Covid-19 is still a grave reality, now with a new strain of the virus spreading across the world. When the pandemic first began, we did not expect it to last this long, and no one expected that it would spread so widely and have such a disastrous impact. As we move into 2021, it continues to be crucial to maintain social distance, avoid large groups of people, wash or sanitize our hands and wear masks consistently to stop the spread of the virus.

Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.

La pandemia por Covid-19 o Coronavirus sigue representando un peligro para la salud principalmente para la salud de la población Indígena. El sitio web de rtve señala que hasta enero 2021, existen más de 100,6 millones de casos y más de 2,1 millones de muertos en todo el mundo.

Le droit au consentement libre, préalable et éclairé signifie que les gouvernements doivent informer les communautés autochtones des projets de développement dans leurs territoires, et écouter leurs opinions avant de commencer aucun projet.

Dès la naissance, tout être humain a des droits inaliénables et en tant que peuple autochtone, nous avons le droit au consentement libre, préalable et éclairé. Ce droit vaut pour tout le monde quel que soit le pays d'ou vous venez, et il doit être appliqué des lors qu'un gouvernement tente d’exploiter les ressources naturelles dans nos communautés. Et ce particulièrement quand ces projets risquent de provoquer des changements nuisibles à nos terres.

A chaque saison, je m'inquiète de notre (mauvaise) récolte; nous n’avons plus assez de terres agricoles depuis que l'entreprise s’est installée dans notre communauté. C'est vrai, on a pris nos terres sans notre consentement préalable, libre et éclairé. Ce droit oblige toute entreprise ou gouvernement d'informer, de consulter et d'écouter les peuples autochtones avant d'exploiter leurs terres. Agissons donc pour responsabiliser cette entreprise.

Je suis un autochtone. J’ai donc le droit au consentement préalable, libre et éclairé, mais les gouvernements élaborent beaucoup de stratégies afin de ne pas respecter ce droit. Une des stratégies est d’identifier les chefs de région dans nos communautés et de les persuader de travailler exclusivement dans l’intérêt du gouvernement ou d’une société de promotion plutôt que dans celui de la communauté qu’ils représentent. Et ce en se servant de pots-de-vin, en leur offrant des emplois et en élaborant d’autres stratégies.

Pour les communautés autochtones, le droit au consentement préalable, donné librement et en connaissance de cause est soutenu par l’article 10 de la Déclaration des Droits des Peuples Autochtones de l’ONU. Il déclare que les gouvernements ne peuvent ni déplacer les communautés autochtones de leurs terres ou territoires par la force, ni effectuer des projets sur les terres des peuples autochtones sans leur consentement préalable, libre et éclairé.

L’article dix-neuf de la Déclaration des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones déclare : Les États se concertent et coopèrent de bonne foi avec les peuples autochtones intéressés — par l’intermédiaire de leurs propres institutions représentatives — avant d’adopter et d’appliquer des mesures législatives ou administratives susceptibles de concerner les peuples
autochtones, afin d’obtenir leur consentement préalable, donné
librement et en connaissance de cause.

En tant que peuples autochtones nous avons le droit de vivre dans des communautés sûres, et quand il y a des changements qui s'opèrent sur nos terres nous devrions revendiquer l'application de l’article 29 de la Déclaration des Nations-Unis sur les droits des peuples autochtones. Cet article affirme que les peuples autochtones doivent accorder leur consentement préalable, libre et éclairé avant que des matières dangereuses ne soient stockées ou déchargées sur leurs terres.

Aucune exploitation ne peut être faite sur nos terres sans appliquer au préalable l’article trente-deux de la Déclaration des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones. Ce droit affirme que les états doivent obtenir le consentement préalable, libre et éclairé des peuples autochtones avant que tout projet de développement, pouvant altérer les terres et les ressources des peuples autochtones, ne soit approuvé; notamment en ce qui concerne la mise en valeur, l’utilisation ou l’exploitation des ressources minérales, hydriques ou autres.

En tant que peuples autochtones nous avons le droit de décision sur tout ce qui peut altérer nos terres tel qu’il est stipulé dans la Déclaration sur les droits des peuples autochtones ainsi que dans la Convention 169 de l’Organisation international du travail et qui reconnaissent le droit au consentement préalable, donné librement et en connaissance de cause. Ces mesures affirment les droits des peuples autochtones et oblige les états à respecter ce droit.
