Estimada Sra. Tauli-Corpuz,
Un saludo fraterno y respetuoso. En nombre del American Indian Law
Alliance y la Comisión Continental Abya Yala de la Gran Isla Tortuga, extendemos
nuestro reconocimiento y apoyo a su solicitud de una visita oficial al estado miembro de la ONU de México para realizar una evaluación y reporte sobre los derechos humanos de pueblos indígenas de ese
país en su calidad de Relatora Especial de la ONU sobre los derechos de los
pueblos indígenas.
Hace exactamente un año y diez meses que 43 de nuestros
hermanos indígenas de la Escuela Normal de Ayotzinapa fueron Desaparecidas Forzadamente en Iguala, Guerrero. Hasta el día de hoy, las madres, los padres y las familias
de estos estudiantes se han quedado sin respuestas y sin investigaciones
responsables sobre el paradero de sus seres queridos desaparecidos, ahora
durante ya 22 meses.
La persecución sistemática contra los Pueblos Originarios de
México, en violación de sus derechos humanos fundamentales, incluido el derecho
a la libre determinación como pueblos, iguales a todos los demás pueblos, tiene
su origen en la Doctrina del Descubrimiento de la Cristiandad (1492) que se
extiende por todo el continente y el mundo.
En el espíritu de la justicia y la paz mundial,
compartimos la misma lucha que nuestras naciones hermanas en México y en todo el
mundo en nuestra continua búsqueda por el reconocimiento, el respeto y garantías
para la protección de nuestros derechos colectivos como las Naciones de los
Pueblos Indígenas de la Madre Tierra.
Apreciamos su anuncio de solicitud para una visita oficial como Relatora Especial de la ONU sobre los derechos de los pueblos indígenas a México
y somos agradecidos por su diligencia en esta materia. Esperamos poder mantener contacto con usted a través de este proceso.
Sinceramente,
Sra. Betty Lyons GAEN hia uh (Nación Onondaga)
American Indian Law Alliance, Presidente y Director

Dear Ms. Tauli-Corpuz,
Warm and respectful greetings. On behalf of the American Indian Law Alliance and the Continental Commission Abya Yala Turtle Island, we extend our appreciation and support for your request to conduct an official visit to the UN member state of Mexico for the purposes of evaluating and reporting on the human rights of Indigenous Peoples of that country in your capacity as UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples.
One year and exactly ten months ago, 43 of our Indigenous brothers of the Ayotzinapa Normal School were forcibly disappeared in Iguala, Guerrero. To this day, the mothers, fathers, and families of these students have been left without answers and responsible investigations as to the whereabouts of their loved ones, missing now for 22 months.
The systematic persecution against the Indigenous Peoples of Mexico, in violation of their basic human rights, including the right to self-determination as Peoples, equal to all other Peoples, originates in the Doctrine of Discovery of Christendom (1492) which extends across the continent and the world.
In the spirit of justice and world peace, we share in the same struggle as our sister nations in Mexico and across the world in our continued pursuit of recognition, respect, and guarantees for the protection of our collective rights as Nations of Indigenous Peoples.
We appreciate your announcement requesting an official visit of the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples to Mexico and thank you for your diligence in this matter. We look forward to keeping in contact with you throughout this process.
Sincerely,
Ms. Betty Lyons Gaeñ hia uh (Onondaga Nation)
