13 Since her Community is settled alongside the highway, they are barred from the development programs offered by some entities, which require secured land to implement their projects. e. Statement by Ms. Elsa Ayala, alleged victim She belongs to the “KM 16” village of the Sawhoyamaxa Indigenous Community. Formerly, she used to live with her parents at the Loma Porá estate. Many of her next of kin died in that estate and were buried in the indigenous cemetery located there and “even now, when people [from the Community] die, [their next of kin] go into the estate to bury [them]." The people in the “KM 16” village mostly come from the Loma Porá estate, where they found it hard to live, for they were constantly threatened by the estate management for having started procedures to reclaim their land. She cannot remember exactly when “[they] went on the highway, but [she thinks] it was quite long ago.” Life is very hard in the “KM 16” village. Men go hunting, or to try and get some temporary, informal job in the nearby estates; women gather honey, and that is all they can do to make a living. There is no indigenous school in the village either, so the children have to attend a school "they share with the Paraguayans," but their relationship with the Paraguayans is very difficult, because the children are discriminated against by the teachers, and when it comes to getting some support, "the Paraguayans" always come first. The State authorities do not visit them, although they know the situation they are living in is very difficult. The Community’s settlement is located near Concepción, the nearest city with a hospital. When a member of the Community falls ill, they consider taking him to that hospital, but they suffer a lot because they know that without "money" they will not assist them; furthermore, "there are no medicines for the poor, just prescriptions to buy the medicines at the pharmacist's." f. Statement by Mr. Martín Sanneman, witness On April 8, 1994, he traveled to Chaco, accompanied by two attorneys who had agreed to represent the Enxet indigenous peoples from that area (i.e., Lengua, Sanapaná and Angaité), the President of the INDI and the Vice-president of the Asociación de Parcialidades Indígenas (Indigenous Groups Association). His trip had a threefold purpose: (1) to investigate and verify the complaint lodged by the leaders of the Sawhoyamaxa Community concerning forest cuttings carried out by the owner of the Loma Porá estate, which forests were allegedly part of the lands they claimed, and upon which an injunctive order to let matters stand had been issued; (2) to visit the Alwátetkok indigenous village located at the Maroma estate, in order to look into the working conditions of the indigenous people in that place, who are also members of the Sawhoyamaxa indigenous community; and (3) to visit the Indigenous Community in Siete Horizontes, whose members are living alongside the Transchaco highway. The Sawhoyamaxa community comprises over 80 families from nine villages of the Enxet-Lengua people: Massama Apxagkok (Loma Porá), Elwátetkok (Maroma), Eknennakté Yannenpeywa (Ledesma), Kello Ateg (Naranjito), Ekpawachawok (Diana), Llamaza Apak, Menduk Kwe, Yacu Kai and Kilómetro 16. On August 6, 1991, the latter requested the Instituto de Bienestar Rural [Rural Welfare Institute] to legalize a portion of their traditional lands. The land claimed is located around Sawhoyamaxa (Santa Elisa) and it is part of the Loma Porá estate, which has an
