34 2. Identification of stakeholders: With the information provided by the local organizations, the supporting institutions and the data generated by the PEU, all of the indigenous communities and creole families that are located within the area under discussion are identified and mapped. 3. Participatory Workshops for the adjustment of the indigenous-creole territory: The participation of the local population in the adoption of decisions for the agreements between parties are the fundamental basis of the work carried out by the PEU. These workshops are summoned through the local radio stations and the organizations of the area. They are held approximately every 15 days in the field, and include the participation of representatives of the indigenous communities and the creole families, representatives of second-degree organizations that represent each sector, supporting institutions and members of the PEU. 3.1. At the start of the meetings for the agreements between parties, in the participatory workshops, a brief description of the advances of the process is made, recalling the most important events, and the necessary information is provided to the participants. 3.2. First the work is divided between two groups, that correspond to each sector (indigenous and creole). These work with satellite images, identifying the territories inhabited and used by each one (families and communities), with the support of members of the PEU technical team. 3.3. Once the group work is finalized, a plenary meeting is held where each group presents its results and explains the work it has done on the images. With this, a ‘Territorial Superposition Map’ is made, on the grounds of which the dialogues are undertaken, aimed at reaching the agreements between the parties. 3.4. Once the Territorial Superposition Map is defined, the participants go to work in their communities and/or organizations based on the results of the workshop, so as to present their communal proposals in the next meeting, where the dialogues are continued in order to obtain a first version of a map, with a delimitation between the indigenous and creole territories. 3.5. Once this delimitation is made, a technical team from the PEU, together with representatives of each sector, travels throughout the territory mapping the agreement that has been reached, and sketching a ‘Geo-referential Map of Agreements between the Parties’, which constitutes the input for future measurements. 4. Participatory workshops for the adjustment of the territory between creole neighbours: once the limit between both social sectors has been demarcated, a stage of agreements between creole families is begun, in order to locate –in their territory- the parcels with the number of hectares that corresponds to each one. For this purpose it is necessary for each family to identify the improvements it has made in its lot, and to negotiate and agree with the neighbouring family the location of the lot. (…)” As a result of this methodology, the Provincial Government reported the following “Advances and Agreements” per zone as of May, 2011: “Zone I: This zone covers an area of approximately 40.000 ha, inhabited by 5 indigenous communities (La Puntana, La Puntana Chica, Monte Carmelo, La Curvita and Santa María Sector Norte) and 22 creole families. The following achievements were made during the five Participatory Worshops: obtaining the territorial superposition map, reaching an agreement on the division of the territory on the grounds of the physical boundary set by Cañada Magdalena, mapping the indigenous-creole agreement, obtaining the consent to relocabion of 8 creole families, and liberating the territory claimed by the communities from creole occupation. This agreement is currently finalized and mapped. The Minutes of the Agreement were signed by the indigenous communities and creole inhabitants of the area. Fieldwork was conducted in order to map (georeferentiate) the agreement between creole neighbours. The final base map of the agreement between all of the parties of the Zone was made and delivered. Zone II: The next zone to be defined was Misión La Paz – Las Vertientes, which includes 9 indigenous communities (Misión La Paz, Km 1, Km 2, La Bolsa, Las Vertientes, El Sauce, La Paz Chica, Misión Anselmo, San Emilio) and 65 creole families. As of this date, seven Participatory Workshops have been held, in which it was agreed that within this zone there may be spaces left open for the creole posts that are located within the indigenous claim area and who do not have the will to relocate and have reached agreements with the neighbouring communities, upon the condition that the continuity of the indigenous territory is respected and guaranteed. The map of superposition of indigenous-creole territory was obtained. 30 creole families who are willing to relocate were identified, and they expressed their wish to migrate to the zone of Puesto El Rosado. Zone II –Misión La Paz – Las Vertientes- was divided into three sets of dialogues: 1. Sector of Misión La Paz, La Bolsa, La Paz Chica, Km. I, Km. II and La Estrella, who shall dialogue with the families located to the Routh of Rout 86 until before the Los Mogotes post.
