DESCRIPTION:Fall 2010 tour\n\nThe Demarest Factor: US Military Mapping of Indigenous 
 Communities in Oaxaca, Mexico\n\nThis film and workshop presentation 
 discusses a recent investigation into US military mapping of communally 
 owned indigenous land in Oaxaca, Mexico. Kansas University geography 
 professors presented the mapping project to indigenous communities as a 
 participatory research project intended to benefit the communities ability 
 to manage ...their resources and territory. The involvement of the US 
 Army’s Foreign Military Studies Office (FMSO) based out of Fort 
 Leavenworth, Kansas and a US Army School of the America’s graduate, Lt. 
 Col. Geoffrey B. Demarest, raised serious suspicions about the true nature 
 of the mapping project known as “The Bowman Expeditions” or “Mexico 
 Indigena”. This film will discuss parallels between US political and 
 economic interests within the North American Free Trade Agreement, and a US 
 military strategy to secure those very interests.\n\nSIMON SEDILLO is a 
 community rights defense organizer and film maker. He has spent the last 8 
 years documenting, producing and teaching community based video 
 documentation in Mexico and the US. Through lectures, workshops, and short 
 films, Sedillo breaks down the effects of neoliberalism, the North American 
 Free Trade Agreement, and militarism on indigenous communities, immigrant 
 communities, and communities of color in the US and Mexico. Through 
 collaborative media projects, Sedillo’s work has contributed to a growing 
 network of communities whose primary objective is to share, teach, and 
 learn from one another, about community based media production and the 
 collective construction of horizontal networks of community rights 
 defense.\n\nSponsored by:\nSCCCCOR\n(Santa Cruz Community Coalition to
