90 Date Type 21/08/2012 UA 21/08/2012 UA Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> allegation transmitted Reply USA 17/2012 United States <strong>of</strong> America USA 18/2012 United States <strong>of</strong> America Indigenous peoples; Alleged imminent demolition by <strong>the</strong> United States Army War College, <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> last standing structures connected to <strong>the</strong> former Carlisle Indian Industrial School, a site <strong>of</strong> deep historical significance to indigenous peoples throughout <strong>the</strong> country. According to <strong>the</strong> information received, <strong>the</strong> Carlisle Indian Industrial School, established in 1879 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, was <strong>the</strong> first boarding school to house Native American children outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir reservation homelands. After <strong>the</strong> school closed in 1918, <strong>the</strong> premises were reclaimed by <strong>the</strong> U.S. Army as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Carlisle Barracks, however certain parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> school were subsequently designated as a National Historic Landmark. The farmhouse was excluded from this designation, despite being actively used for housing and educational purposes for indigenous children. Recently, <strong>the</strong> U.S. Army War College, located at <strong>the</strong> Carlisle Barracks, announced its plans to raze <strong>the</strong> farmhouse in August or September <strong>of</strong> 2012 in order to make way for four new housing units for its personnel. As <strong>the</strong> farmhouse was not designated as a National Historic Landmark <strong>the</strong> War College is allegedly taking <strong>the</strong> position that does not have to consult with <strong>the</strong> relevant state agency, nor with interested indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples; Alleged imminent sale <strong>of</strong> land located within <strong>the</strong> Black Hills, South Dakota, considered to be a site <strong>of</strong> great spiritual significance to <strong>the</strong> Lakota, Dakota and Nakota indigenous peoples. According to <strong>the</strong> information received <strong>the</strong> site known as Pe‘ Sla is located on <strong>the</strong> Reynolds Prairie in <strong>the</strong> Black Hills, which has been owned by <strong>the</strong> Reynolds family since <strong>the</strong> 1870s. Over <strong>the</strong> years, members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> owners <strong>of</strong> Reynolds Prairie had permitted Sioux peoples to enter <strong>the</strong> land and conduct <strong>the</strong>ir traditional ceremonies at Pe‘ Sla, however recently, <strong>the</strong> family recently announced its intention to sell some land during a land sale auction on 25 August 2012. The Lakota, Dakota and Nakota indigenous peoples fear <strong>the</strong> sale may result in restrictions on future access to Pe‘ Sla. There is also concern over <strong>the</strong> state <strong>of</strong> South Dakota‘s reported intention to pave a gravel road through Pe‘ Sla, in order to facilitate logging and recreational activities in <strong>the</strong> area. Reportedly <strong>the</strong> Lakota, Dakota and Nakota peoples have begun a fundraising effort in order to recover this sacred site. 04/02/2013 02/01/2013 A/<strong>HRC</strong>/<strong>23</strong>/<strong>51</strong>

Según la información recibida, el Ministerio de Minas y Energía habría aprobado una evaluación de impacto ambiental para la expansión de actividades del proyecto de gas Camisea. Se alega que los pueblos indígenas en situación de aislamiento y contacto inicial que habitan la Reserva Territorial Kugapakori, Nahua, Nanti y otros han sufrido graves impactos a su salud, vidas, culturas y territorios debido a exploraciones hidrocarburíferas pasadas y actuales en la región, incluyendo el proyecto Camisea. Debido a los antecedentes de las actividades hidrocarburíferas en el territorio que comprende la reserva, se han expresado graves preocupaciones sobre los planes de expansión del proyecto de gas Camisea por parte del Estado peruano, especialmente dentro de la Reserva Territorial Kugapakori, Nahua, Nanti y otros.
