METODOLOGY  AND  SAMPLE  OF  THE  SURVEY:    
 
 
TO  MAKE  THIS  DIAGNOSIS  THE  BLACK  CREOLE  INDIGENOUS  COMMUNITY  OF  
BLUEFIELDS  AND  THE  CIDT/RAAS  MADE  AN  ETHOGRAPHICAL  SURVEY  IN    2011    IN  
COMMUNITIES  AND  CITY  OF  BLUEFIELDS,  BLUFF,  RAMA,  KUKRA  HILL  AND    NUEVA  
GUINEA;  THE  SURVEY  USED  THE  FORMATS  THAT  WAS  AUTHORIZED  BY    CONADETI  IN  
THE  MANUAL  OF  PROCEDURES  ;  THE  SURVEY  TOOK  ONLY  A  SAMPLE  OF  THE  CREOLE  
BLACK  AND  INDIGENOUS  PEOPLE  IN  JUST  A  PART  OF  THE  TERRITORY  THAT  IS  CLAIM

USE  OF  THE  LAND  AND  TERRITORY    
JUDITIAL  STUDY  OF  THIRD  PARTIES  ON  THE  
LAND    
It  is  important  to  iden<fy  that  the  mayority  of  people  of  the  
interior  (colonos)  are  part  of  the  problem  that  the  
agriculture  fron<er  created,  this  problem  appeard  in  the  
SAAR  in  the  30  and  it  got  worst  in  the  50  y    70  of  the  past  
century.  In  the  80  the  problem  slowed  down  becuase  of  the  
war  but  then  in  the  90  it  con<nued.  This  situa<on  is  well  
documented  by  the  State  of  Nicaragua  and  especially  by  
INAFOR.  
To  prove  this  the  INEC  census  in  2005,  presents  that  in  the  
SAAR  the  popula<on  growth  is  the  highest  one  in  the  
country  since  1963,  in  the  documents  it  establishes  that  the  
SAAR  is:  “Como  área  de  colonización  y  expansión  de  la  
frontera  agrícola,  aparte  de  un  crecimiento  natural  elevado,  
ha  recibido  flujos  importantes  de  población,  lo  que  ha  
permiLdo  pasar  de  casi  7%  de  la  población  total  del  país  en  
1963  al  14%  en  el  2005,  su  peso  porcentual  se  duplicó  en  
unos  40  años¨  
JUDITIAL  STUDY  OF  THIRD  PARTIES  ON  THE  
LAND  
As  a  par<cularity  of  the  colonos  in  the  agricultural  fron<er  we  see  that  they  have  a  great  
mobiliza<on  on  the  land,  they  also  and  frecuently  sell  the    land  and  they  con<nue  cupng  
down  the  forest  and  keep  on  selling  now  to  the  cacle  ranchers.    
In  the  Rama  Kriol  Diagnosis  they  found  out  that  86%  of  the  people  declared  to  have  less  than  
20  years  living  on  their  land  and  61%  declare  to  have  less  than  10  years.    
 
JUDITIAL  STUDY  OF  THIRD  PARTIES  ON  
THE  LAND  
JUDITIAL  STUDY  OF  THIRD  PARTIES  ON  THE  
LAND  
Another  factor  that  is  needed  to  point  out  is  that  the  mayority  
of  third  par<es  on  the  land  in  the  SAAR  doesnt  have  <tle  of  
property  as  how  it  is  shown  in  various  studies  such  as  the  
Rama  Kriol  diagnosis:  where  66  %  of  the  surveyed  people    
(1.086)  declared  that    they  dont  have  any  document  over  
land  tenure;  and  regardless  of  the  remaining  34%  that  said  
that  they  have  a  document,  they  did  not  show  any;    at  the  
end  of  the  survery,  the  4%  presented  a  supletory  <tle,  11%    
said  that  they  have  Agrarian  Reform  <tle  and  17%    said  they  
have  Public  documnets  that  show  purchase  of  mejoras  or  
cesion  of  rights  or  posesion  between  two  people.  However  
this  by  nature  doesnt  cons<tute  rights  over  the  indigenous  
land.    
JUDITIAL  STUDY  OF  THIRD  PARTIES  ON  THE  
LAND  
According  to  the  Diagnosis  of  the  Rama  Kriol    81%  of  the  
people  surveyed  (698)  are  located  in  farms  less  than  100  
Mzs.;  out  of  this  32%  use  less  than  50  Mzs.;  also  48%  uses  
farms  between  50  and  100  Mzs.    
 
These  informa<on  coincides  with  other  studies  made  in  the  
protected  area  Cerro  Silva  and  Punta  Gorda  by  the  Proyect  
of  Conserva<on  and  Forest  Development  (PROCODEFOR),  
the    Bluefields  Indian  &  Caribbean  University  (BICU)  and  the  
Ins<tuto  Nicaragüense  de  Reforma  Agraria    (INRA)  with  the  
objec<ve  to  order  the  reserves  areas.  The  INRA  made  two  
studies  one  in  1998  and  the  other  in  2000  about  land  tenure  
in  the  Reserve  Areas.    
PROTECTED  AREAS  IN  THE  TERRITORY:  

The  protected  areas  iden<fied  in  the  Black  Creole  


Indigenous  Territory  of  Bluefields  are:      
the  Natural  Reserve  of  Cerro  Silva,    
the  Natural  Reserve  of  Punta    Gorda,  
the  Biological  Reserve  of  Indian  and  Corn  River,    
the  RAMSAR  site  
These  areas  were  establish  to  preserve  the  Natural  
resources  under  the  Rule  of  protected  areas  
establish  in  1999  and  reform  in  2007  that  prohibits  
the  <tling  of  land  to  non  indigenous  people  in  any  
form  of  Title  being  it  Supletory  <tles  or  Agrarian  
Reform  <tle.  
OVERLAPPING  AND  AREA  OF  COMMON  USE  
BETWEEN  COMMUNITIES/TERRITORIES  
 
The  territory  of  the  community  of  the  Blacks  Creoles  and  
Indigenous  of    Bluefields  presents  two  area  of  
overlapping  or  of  common  use  with  their  neighbours  
territories.  In  the  north  with  the  Twelve  Indigenous  and  
Afrodescendants  of  the  Pearl  Lagoon  Basin  and  
Tasbapounie  and  in  the  south  with  the    Territory  of  the  
People  of  the  Rama  and  Kriol.      
Both  overlapping  was  solved  in  a  friendly  and  respecuul  
way  and  because  of  this  there  is  no  conflict  between  
territories.  The  Bluefields  Bahia  is  a  common  use  also  
between  Ramas  -­‐  Kriols  and  Black  Creoles  of  Bluefields.  
LEGAL   FUNDAMENTS   FOR   TERRITORIAL  
REQUEST    
The  Black  Creole  Indigenous  Community  existed  on  this  territory  long  before  
the  anexa<on  of  the  Mosqui<a  to  Nicaragua  (1640)  
 
The  Black  Creole  Indigenous  Community  of  Bluefields  have  a  strong  poli<cal  
and  legal  land  asigna<on  since  1841  by  the  Mosquito  King  Robert  Charles  
Fredrick;  also  a  land  <tle  given  by  the  Titling  commision  over  Deer  Cay  since  
1916,  also  there  is  a  decree  that  recognices  40,000  hectáreas  of  land  to  the  
Creole  Indigenous    Community  ,  all  of  which  have  strong  background  to  a  
collec<ve  land  to  the  Creole  to  thier  land  and  territory.    
 
The  rights  of  ownership  over  the  land  that  tradi<onally  is  use  and  ocupy  by  the  
afrodescendants  in  Nicaragua  and  by  the  Indigenoous  people  on  the  
Atlan<c  Coast  of  Nicaragua  is  also  recognize  in  the  Poli<cal  cons<tu<on  of  
Nicaragua  where  they  point  out  the  use  of  ancestral  and  historical  rights  
over  land  which  is  also  iden<fied  in  the  Autonomy  Law  and  the  
Demarca<on  and  Titling  Law.

                                             CONCLUSIONS:  
THE  AFRODESCENDANTS  (BLACK  AND  CREOLES)  ON  THE  ATLANTIC  
COAST  OF  NICARAGUA  HAVE  WALKED  A  LONG  WALK.  IT  BEGAN  
SINCE  WE  WERE  RIPPED  OUT  FROM  OUR  FATHERS    TRIBES  BY  
SLAVERY,  UNTIL  WE  BECAME  PART  OF  A  NEW  SOCIETY  IN  THE  
AMERICA  AND  THE  CARIBBEAN  COAST;    
 
THE  ROAD  IS  STILL  NOT  AN  EASY  ONE,  HOWEVER  THE  
DIFFICULTIES  FOUND  HERE  WERE  PLACED  TO  MAKE  THE  BLACK  
PEOPLE  STRONGER  AND  MORE  CAPABLE  TO  SURVIVE.    
 
TODAY  BLACK  CREOLE  PEOPLE  EXPRESSES  THEIR  INTEREST  TO  LIVE  
FREE;  WITHOUT  RACISM,  WITHOUT  DISCRIMINATION  BUT  WITH  A  
PURPOSE  TO  CONSTRUCT  A  MORE  JUST  AND  EQUITATIVE  
SOCIETY.  BLACK  PEOPLE  HAVE  DONE  THEIR  TASK.  AND  TODAY;
