The Case for Native People’<\/u><\/strong>s Self-Determination:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n The inalienable human rights for the\u00a0 Miskitu Coast\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Along Central America, bordering the six Republics ( Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and El Salvador), are the Miskitu people – the native inhabitants. A once prosperous sovereign nation just a few centuries ago is reduced to poverty, loss of culture, poor education,\u00a0 tainted natural resources, and politically and economically charged violence. We want to end that and restore that proud sovereign nation in hopes to be able to help other indigenous populations in similar situations!<\/strong><\/p>\n To do so, we must get justice from the United Nations,\u00a0 big industry from various countries, poachers and the President of Nicaragua (Daniel Ortega) accountable for historic and ongoing damage to Miskitu natural resources and lives. As if they weren’t there, the Miskitu people are not even compensated nor in discussion in regards to the use of their natural resources which have now become polluted and unhealthy.\u00a0 The age-old fishing industry that Miskitu natives pride themselves over is under more pressure to perform leading to unsafe diving conditions. Violence for land stealing and industrial development affects many towns preventing them from regaining self-sufficiency. Culture is dying as libraries are burned down and Miskitu pride is met with hostility – ethnic cleansing has become the weapon of choice for Daniel Ortega to carry out his plan to construct the Nicaraguan Canal across all of Nicaragua, affecting not only Miskitu and other native groups but his own Nicaraguan citizens.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
