Today on American Indian Airwaves, we will hear highlights on what happened at the 30th Anniversary of the Beginning of the War Against Oblivion, the armed uprising of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) on January 1st, 1994, against the colonial state of Mexico and global capitalism. The anniversary-gathering was organized by thousands of Zapatista support bases, Mayan men, women, boys, girls, elderly and older men and women who celebrated three decades of resistance to the capitalist, settler colonial system with cultural sports, arts, music, food, popular dance, and other forms of living cultural expressions. 

The Mayan peoples’ traditional homelands were recovered after the armed uprising of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) in 1994 and are concrete evidence of how Zapatismo in Chiapas has improved the living conditions of the communities based on organization, autonomy, and self-determination. Tune in and listen to hear about the EZLN’s major announcements reflecting major changes in self-determination, autonomy, and independence in anti-colonial and anti-capitalism struggles. In addition, listeners will hear about the legacy of Indigenous women, their roles, contributions over the past four generations changing oppressive systems of heteronormative cis-gendered patriarchy. Also, well hear updates on the globalized and militarized Cartels and major megaprojects that threaten the Mayan peoples’ traditional homelands and all life systems in Chiapas, MX. All that and more.  

Guest:
•	Richard Stahler-Sholk, a retired Professor of Political Science at Eastern Michigan University, and community activist involved with the School of Chiapas which is an organization of grassroots activists and communities working to support the autonomous, indigenous Zapatista communities of Chiapas, Mexico. Schools for Chiapas was created the mid-1990’s by individuals searching for ways to make the world a better place and working to create a world where all worlds fit.

The EZLN 30th Anniversary Gathering: Resistance, Reflections, and Growth in Chiapas

Enero de 1998. Apenas han transcurrido un par de semanas de la masacre de Acteal, en la que murieron 45 indígenas tzotziles que oraban en una iglesia de la región de Los Altos, en Chiapas.

Diego Enrique Osorno. ¿Mienten las fotos?

El zapatismo cimbró de muchos modos a México y el mundo. Es un movimiento transversal que impactó visualmente por mostrar una realidad olvidada y que ahora se mostraba legítima. El arte visual zapatista con documentales, fotoperiodismo y películas es importante no sólo por su papel en el activismo, sino también por su impacto en la sociedad. Para esto hablamos con cineastas y fotógrafos que se adentraron en territorio zapatista: Antonio Turok, José Ángel Rodríguez, Alberto Cortés. Lucía Gaja, Gabriel Rodríguez, Cecilia Candelaria, Patricia Aridjis, Ángeles Torrejón, entre otros.

Clandestinidad

El 12 de octubre de 1992 fueron conmemorados los quinientos años del descubrimiento de América. Significó un parteaguas en nuestra relación con esa fecha.

Carlos Tello. 12 de octubre

Da la impresión de que el nuevo gobierno federal aún no tiene idea sobre la forma en que deben encararse las dramáticas y complejas realidades de estos estados

Debido a este negacionismo gubernamental y a las cada vez más compulsivas ambiciones mercantiles de controlar la tierra de Chiapas, la impunidad se ha traspasado sexenalmente de gobierno a gobierno

Today on American Indian Airwaves, listeners will hear extensive update on why 31st Anniversary of the Beginning of the War Against Oblivion, the armed uprising of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) on January 1st, 1994, against the colonial state of Mexico and global capitalism, was placed on hold.

On January 1st, 1994, the Mayan peoples’ traditional homelands were recovered after the 12-day armed uprising of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) against state violence and a legacy of settler colonial oppression. The EZLN’s actions are concrete evidence of how Zapatismo in Chiapas has improved the living conditions of the communities based on organization, autonomy, and self-determination. 

Tune in to hear about how the systemic and increased organized crime violence is having on Indigenous peoples throughout Chiapas, MX. Also, listeners will hear a recap of the major 2024 events for Indigenous peoples throughout the settler colonial state of Mexico such as the 50th anniversary of the important 1974 Indigenous Congress in Chiapas, convened by the late Bishop Samuel Ruiz, whose 100th birthday would have been in 2024. Moreover, hear about the 2024 elections such as with the MORENA party reelected by a landslide; and how Claudia Sheinbaum replaces AMLO, cementing MORENA monopoly on power and what that means for Indigenous and Mayan peoples. The MORENA party corruption means more extractive industry expansion, displacement of Indigenous peoples without free, prior, and informed consent, and the violent repression of Indigenous protests and resistance against megaprojects, plus more.

Today on American Indian Airwaves, listeners will hear extensive update on the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) newest and creative forms of resistance and rebellion throughout the Chiapas, Mexico region. The EZLN recently underwent internal changes to reflect a more localized community structure and revised their ideas of land ownership in attempting to align with Indigenous or Mayan ways of life. Listeners will hear about the Mayan art as expressed form of creative resistance and rebellion, and refusal of mega development projects threatening their traditional homelands, as well as the increased violence perpetrated against U.S. immigrants in time of rising Authoritarian Fascism with the Trump 2.0 Administration.

Noti Cántaro: Episodio 120

EV is the perfect soundtrack for a Zapatista insurrection, for a night lost in the jungle, in the mountains,  in the South of Mexico, abajo y a la izquierda, or trapped in the concrete of L.A., resisting a scary unreal reality. We´re warriors lost in the dark, águilas and jaguares… but we´ll burn to light the way; we´re ready, our time has come.
