  As many indigenous peoples in Peru continue to deal with the fallout of decades of environmental damage from corporations, a new proposed bill on Friday would strip indigenous people with little to no contact from the outside world of their protections to allow businesses to start exploiting the areas where they live.
  Peruvian Indigenous Federation Aidesep said that the bill would cause "Genocide" due to much of the indigenous people in the area not having any immunity to common diseases that could be brought over if businesses are allowed to come near the area.
  Many indigenous tribes like the Shipibo community have dealt with the past neglect of businesses like oil companies in their properties over the years, with the crude oil that had overflowed and contaminated the Cachiyacu Creek inflicting illness on the area and harming the environment significantly, Mongbay reported.

  Like indigenous peoples in other countries, they should have sovereignty and rights to their own lands. To strip them of their land rights is the same as any other invasion or land appropriation. >
