Confederation of Nationalities of Indigenous People of Ecuador
CONAIE was formed in 1986 to provide broad representation for the indigenous communities of Ecuador. Composed of regional indigenous organizations throughout Ecuador, CONAIE works to recover ownership of indigenous lands and to rescue indigenous language and culture. CONAIE promotes unity among all the indigenous nations through these common struggles.
CONAIE has played a key role in the organizing of many peaceful mass "uprisings," notably in 1990, and at the beginning of 2000 and 2001. It is at the forefront of one of the most powerful indigenous movements in Latin America and, as such, participates in the indigenous struggle against oil development in the Amazon. CONAIE, together with CDES, also promotes a debt-for-nature swap as a means of debt reduction.
