Dar prioridad a la seguridad y el bienestar de los pueblos indígenas

The document emphasizes the need for communication professionals to prioritize the safety and dignity of Indigenous peoples, particularly in the Americas. It warns against 'parachute journalism' and the risks associated with public disclosure, advocating for constant consultation, respect for traditional authorities, and the avoidance of colonialist or discriminatory imagery.

• Communication professionals must prioritize the safety of Indigenous peoples and the environment, recognizing that public disclosure can create risks for human lives, forests, and wildlife. This necessitates the use of anonymity for individuals and locations in high-risk scenarios.
• Indigenous peoples in Central and South America face ongoing victimization, physical violence, and criminalization due to their efforts to defend forests and reclaim land rights, often linked to political instability, drug trafficking, and social inequality.
• The document criticizes 'parachute journalism,' where reporters enter communities without prior research or connection to seek sensationalist, exotic, or violent images, often disregarding the dignity and security of the subjects.
• Ethical engagement requires constant communication with Indigenous communities to avoid putting them at risk through photography or recording, as community members possess the most accurate knowledge of local dangers. Professionals should also seek guidance from traditional authorities, especially in sacred places.
• Visual representation must avoid perpetuating colonialist languages and discrimination. The document highlights the importance of defending the humanity of Indigenous people and avoiding images that depict them in degrading ways, such as the historical portrayal of the Yuqui people.
