CONFENIAE
The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (Spanish: El Confederacin de Nacionalidades Indgenas del Ecuador) or more commonly, CONAIE, is Ecuador's largest indigenous organization. Formed in 1986, CONAIE has pursued social change on behalf of the region's significant native population using a wide range tactics including direct action. CONAIE is most well known for its organization of popular uprisings ("levantamientos populares") that often include blockading of commercial arteries and the takeover of government buildings.
CONAIE's political agenda includes the strengthening of a positive indigenous identity, recuperation of land rights, opposition to neoliberalism, and a rejection of U.S. military involvement in South America (for example Plan Colombia).
Most recently, CONAIE was a primary force behind the ousting of President Lucio Gutirrez, who was widely perceived as corrupt and beholden to neoliberal influence.
