1. Indigenous NGO’s: Those sites and groups that are run specifically by those people who would be considered descendents of the original inhabitants of Latin America. Examples include the Defensoria Maya and the Congreso General de la Cultura Kuna. 2. Outside NGO’s: These are any sites or groups that are run solely by or in conjunction with organizations or groups that are not specifically members of the indigenous tribe but have no tie to any government. Examples include Nacion Comuntaria Moskitia and the Conferencia Permanente de los Pueblos Indigenas del Peru 3. Government: These are any sites or groups that are run solely by or in conjunction with organizations or groups that are not members of the indigenous tribe and do have ties to a specific government. Examples include Comision Takachiualis A.C. and Centro de Derechos Humanos “Los Principes” A.C.
