Ayuda a los Ava Guarani de Salta 
 
El 16 de Septiembre, la comunidad Ava Guarani de Salta fue desalojada de 
su tierra por un grupo policial armado, que golpeó, intimidó y, finalmente 
detuvo, a 70 guaraníes, incluyendo mujeres embarazadas. Luego, fueron 
liberados y procesados penalmente por usurpación. El pedido de desalojo 
fue tramitado por teléfono por la empresa multinacional Seaboard, quien 
acusa a la comunidad guaraní de ocupar terrenos correspondientes a su 
empresa, el ingenio San Martín del Tabacal. Esta es una de las muchas 
comunidades desalojadas de la zona, que ha visto destruida su selva fértil 
por grandes plantaciones de azúcar y soja transgénica, reemplazando la 
tradicional producción comunitaria de choclo, mandioca, y vegetales 
locales. 
 
En 1996, SEABOARD, una empresa estadounidense con base en Kansas, compró 
el ingenio azucarero San Martin del Tabacal. SEABOARD despidió 6,000 
empleados, alegando que sus nuevas máquinas necesitaban menos 
trabajadores. 
 
Expulsados de su tierra, la comunidad guaraní desalojada marchó a pie 300 
kilómetros hasta la capital de la provincia de Salta, para exigir al 
gobernador la devolución de sus tierras, el cierre del caso judicial y el 
fin de la represión. Nadie los recibió. Decidieron, entonces, marchar a 
Buenos Aires, donde mantuvieron reuniones con funcionarios nacionales, sin 
que hasta ahora se haya solucionado su problema. De regreso, volvieron a 
tomar su tierra, y una vez más, fueron desalojados. La comunidad Ava 
Guarani reclama sus cinco mil hectáreas de tierra y vida para ciento 
cincuenta familias. 
 
 
 
6. Please Help the Ava Guarani of Salta, Argentina 
 
On the 16th of September the community of Ava Guarani were evicted from 
their land by a group of armed police. The police arrived in the middle of 
the night, without an order from the judge, preceded to hit, intimidate 
and then detain all 70 of the men, women, and children, including pregnant 
women. Just ten days earlier the Guarani had organized to recover their 
land because of desperate conditions of poverty, unemployment, 
overpopulation, and inundation. 
The story of this Guarani community dates back at least to the 1970´s 
when nearly all of the indigenous communities in the area were displaced 
from their land when agri-businesses arrived in Salta. The Ava, at this 
time, were one of the last Guarani communities, and their community next 
to the mountains was also one of the most fertile forests remaining. The 
forest was destroyed to plant cash crops of sugar cane and GMO soy, 
destroying the traditional community production of corn, manioc, and 
local vegetables. 
The agri-business transported entire communities of indigenous to 
cities, 
housed them in huge warehouses, and forced them to work for the very 
business that was destroying their land. According to one Guarani, "first 
they put us in a truck and brought us to the company headquarters, then 
we spent the night together in a building, and the next day we were 
brought to work". 
In 1996 SEABOARD, a US corporation based in Kansas, bought the sugar 
industry (San Martin of Tabacal), which had originally displaced the Ava 
Guarani. Seaboard fired 6,000 employees because they brought with them 
machines that reduced the need for workers. Seaboard, as the new owner of 
the sugar plantation, exasperated the conditions of unemployment and 
poverty. 
On September 10, 2004 the Guarani decided to return to their land, to 
escape poverty, and find a life for themselves. The 70 Guarani who 
occupied the land are now out of jail and have a case in court. They 
marched over 3,000 kilometers to the capital of Salta to demand that the 
governor return their land, close the case, and stop the repression. As 
no resolution was met, they have come to Buenos Aires to make the same 
demands to president Kirschner. 
The community of Ava Guarani is asking for six thousand hectares of 
land 
and life for 300 families.
