Speakers: Floro Tunubala, the first indigenous leader ever to hold a post of Governor in Colombia, completed his term as governor of the department of Cauca in December 2003. Floro worked in developing proposals for manual eradication of coca and plans for alternative social and economic development with 6 governors in southern Colombia whose departments were targeted for aerial fumigation in the US government-funded Plan Colombia. A member of the Guambiano nation, he is a representative of one of the strongest social movements in the country, the joint indigenous and campesino movement of Cauca. Floro will speak on economic development issues and about communities organizing to successfully resist involvement in the armed conflict. Date:
