I PUBLIC INTEREST
Guatemalan Voices: The People’s Story
by Guy Burton
Those who derive their livelihood
from the land comprise the majority
of Guatemala’s population. Land
ownership in Guatemala is among the
most inequitable in Latin America; it
is the fundamental barrier to achiev
ing a just society.
During Guatemala’s “Ten Years of
Spring,” 1944-1954, urban and agri
cultural workers were the most or
ganized in Guatemala’s history. At the
end of the period peasants were begin
ning to benefit from the land reform
of President Jacobo Arbenz. But in
the aftermath of the CIA-organized
coup that overthrew Arbenz, the
agrarian reform was reversed and land
returned to the United Fruit Company
and other previous owners. The trade
union and peasant movements were
virtually destroyed and many leaders
killed or exiled. The pattern of land
ownership has remained the same
since that time and today two percent
of the farms own 72 percent of the
land.
In Guatemala today, despite the
unimaginable government violence
against the population, grassroots
organizations are mobilizing once
again for their basic economic and
democratic rights. Agricultural
workers and landless peasants are
marching to demand land; workers
are demanding wage increases and
union recognition; slumdwellers are
calling for decent housing, electrici
ty and potable water; families of the
disappeared are demonstrating for the
return of their loved ones. All these
contribute to a reemerging popular
movement.
As part of its Second Annual Cam
paign for Human Rights in Guate
mala, the Committee in Solidarity
with the Central American People
(CISCAP) is sponsoring the appear
ance of a person who is uniquely
qualified to speak about these promis
ing new developments. Francisco
Cali—Cakchiquel Indian from Chi
maltenango, Guatemala—will be in
Eugene as part of a national public
speaking tour called “Guatemalan
Voices: The People’s Story.” He is a
leader of a regional Guatemalan pea
sant organization (the Peasant Com
mittee of the Highlands) and has been
in exile for about five years. He is cur
rently a member of the Guatemalan
Indian Working Group (along with
Rigoberta Menchu) which partici
pates in international forums on indig
enous peoples’ rights in Geneva and
at the United Nations in New York.
In two Eugene appearances, Mr.
Cali will speak on efforts to form an
alliance between poor Indian and
Ladino peasants, the struggle to main
tain indigenous cultures in Guate
mala, and the current popular move
ment to obtain land and land reform.
His first appearance will be a talk on
Thursday, October 29, 7:30 pm at
First Congregational Church. The
next day, Friday, October 30, at 7 pm,
he’ll be guest of honor at a potluck,
co-sponsored by the University of
Oregon Native American Student
Union and CISCAP, at the Long
house, 17th and Columbia St.,
Eugene. Both events are free and open
to the public. For more information
call CISCAP at 485-1755.

Congratulations!
Congratulations on five well-deserved
years of success and growth with What's
Happening!
In the two years I have now had the
pleasure of being in Eugene and working
with the arts on a daily basis, I have been
continually delighted with your timely, ap
propriate and sensitive approach to the arts.
Your coverage often goes beyond reportage
by providing the nurturing insight and sus
taining recognition that is so vital to ar
tists and to creative endeavor.
Admittedly, What's Happening doesn't
give all the coverage I would like to see
for the arts. Nonetheless, it is, I believe,
currently the finest source of arts reviews
and reportage available in our community.
And I believe your publication will con
tinue to be extremely important for the arts
in the Eugene area because it has a tradi
tion of sensing the unique fabric that binds
the arts and the people of a community
together.
And, of course, I appreciate the special
link that has been forged, through Arts
Calendar and Pacifica, between the Arts
Council and What’s Happening. I hope
that these not only continue to thrive, but
that we will find more arts enhancing proj
ects to jointly develop.
As What's Happening expands in size
and distribution, as is inevitable, its impor
tance to the arts will increase. For that
reason I often find myself urging others to
support your efforts in whatever way is
possible. Don't hesitate to contact me at
any time if you think I can be of help.
So, thank you! And spirited wishes for
the next Big Five.
