http://www.vheadline.com/...can CONAIE explain this:<br />http://www.vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=84531<br /><br />'Here is an excerpt: “Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of<br />Ecuador … In order for our voice to be heard at the national<br />level, we formed the organization that now represents us, CONAIE,<br />in 1986. CONAIE represents all of the indigenous nationalities of<br />the country, some organized into provincial organizations, and<br />others not. The National Organization is the result of a long<br />process which is worth reviewing from a distance in order to<br />better understand where we have come from and where we are going.<br />CONAIE was formed out of the union of two already existing<br />organizations, ECUARUNARI and CONFENIAIE. ECUARUNARI, the<br />regional organization of the Sierra that has been functioning for<br />over 20 years, and the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities<br />of the Ecuadorian Amazon(CONFENIAE), formed in 1980, created that<br />same year the National Coordinating Council of the Indigenous<br />Nationalities of Ecuador, CONACNIE.”<br /><br />Now, since I highly suspect that CONAIE is financed, influenced,<br />controlled or infiltrated in some fashion by the US government, I<br />decided to go through the NED’s website. I found the following<br />(and more):<br /><br />Grantor: NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY (NED)<br />Grantee: Corporación Instituto Empresarial Indígena del Ecuador<br />(Indigenous Enterprise Institute of Ecuador) (IEIE)<br />Country(ies): Ecuador<br />Region: Latin America and the Caribbean<br />Subject(s): Business and Economics<br />Grant Awarded: 2006<br />Amount: 67,955<br /><br />Grantor: NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY (NED)<br />Grantee: Fundación Q’ellkaj (Q’ellkaj Foundation)<br />Country(ies): Ecuador<br />Region: Latin America and the Caribbean<br />Subject(s): Youth<br />Grant Awarded: 2006<br />Amount: 91,256<br /><br /><br />So what is the, Corporación Instituto Empresarial Indígena del<br />Ecuador?<br /><br />And what is Fundación Q’ellkaj (Q’ellkaj Foundation)?<br /><br />I decided to look into it and found more than I expected. I went<br />to the website of Corporación Instituto Empresarial Indígena del<br />Ecuador, which is actually Corporación Empresarial Indígena del<br />Ecuador … or CEIE … a not-for-profit organization founded in 2005<br />by Ángel Medina, Mariano Curicama, Lourdes Tibán, Fernando<br />Navarro, and Raúl Gangotena. Their website also states that<br />Norman Bailey is one of their honorary members.<br /><br />First, who is Norman Bailey?brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796306949045047712noreply@blogger.com
