The Nicaraguan President Enrique Bolaños has returned five parcels of
land totalling 8,000 sq km to the indigenous 'Miskito' Indians of the
country's Caribean coast. The peoples of Tani Tasbaika, Mayagna Sauni
As, Li Lamni Tasbaika Kum, Mayagna Sauni Bu and Miskitu Indian Tasbaika
Kum now have communal title to their land.
President Bolaños said, 'Now the lands have returned to their true
owners, lands for which the communities have been fighting for many
years, since the time of our ancestors.'
