	Ecuador: beyond the dollar coup
		For Luis Macas, a restored sense of identity is not only important for indigenous people, who make up a third of the country’s 12 million people, but for Ecuadorian society as a whole.
		Macas places great hope in the niches of local power won by Ecuador’s indigenous movement in May 2000, when they romped to victory in 27 town halls and five provincial districts out of 22—a totally unparalleled event in recent Latin American history.
		According to Macas, success at the ballot box needs to be converted into better training for local indigenous leaders and greater democratic participation by communities: “there are two bases, the technical and the political, and we have to strengthen both,” he declares.

		Luis Macas, one of Ecuador's most highly-respected indigenous leaders, said the summit is a means of ''joining efforts to fight neo-liberalism, which runs directly counter to our communities, because it seeks to impose market values on the collective way of life that native peoples have developed over centuries.''

		Macas was alluding to the case of Gutiérrez, who became president in January 2003 after promising an inclusive, progressive and participatory government -- pledges that he quickly abandoned once in office.
