IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom0MAINTENANCE OF A WORLD-CLASS ARCHIVE OF HUICHOL CULTURE AND A WEBSITE TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC. WRC ALSO MAINTAINED A WEB-BASED ARCHIVAL DATABASE OF THE HUICHOL INDIAN CULTURE AND ART. THROUGH THE FOUNDATION'S WEB SITE, WE RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT WIXARIKA CULTURE AND THE CHALLENGES THESE PEOPLE ARE FACING TODAY DUE TO THEIR RAPIDLY CHANGING ENVIRONMENT. IT IS OUR HOPE THAT THE SITE WILL AMPLIFY THEIR VOICES AND ADD WEIGHT TO THEIR OPINIONS AND CONCERNS. OUR WEBSITE IS ALSO GIVING THEM ACCESS TO IMAGES OF AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF THEIR TRADITIONAL, SACRED, AND CONTEMPORARY ART. THE WIXARIKA RESEARCH CENTER HAS BEEN BUILDING A WEBSITE THAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE DIGITAL ARCHIVE OF WIXARIKA CULTURE, HISTORY AND ART. THE INITIAL WORK WE ARE PRESERVING CONSISTS OF PHOTOGRAPHS, DOCUMENTS, TAPE RECORDINGS AND IMAGES OF SACRED, TRADITIONAL, AND CONTEMPORARY ART, COLLECTED OR PHOTOGRAPHED BY JUAN AND YVONNE NEGRIN FROM 1970 TO PRESENT. THE PAPER ARCHIVES BEING DIGITALIZED INCLUDE COPIES OF DOCUMENTS AND NEWS REPORTS PERTAINING TO PAST AND PRESENT LAND DISPUTES AND THE EXPLOITATION OF THE WIXARIKA'S NATURAL RESOURCES AND COMMUNITY DOCUMENTS AND PETITIONS DRAWN UP AT THEIR GENERAL ASSEMBLIES. HUNDREDS OF COLOR TRANSPARENCIES TAKEN BY JUAN & YVONNE NEGRIN ARE BEING SCANNED IN HIGH RESOLUTION FOR PRESERVATION. THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE UNIQUE BECAUSE THE WIXARIKA COMMUNITIES RARELY PERMITTED CAMERAS TO BE USED TO CAPTURE THEIR WAY OF LIFE, THEIR CEREMONIES, OR THEIR SACRED SPOTS BY OUTSIDERS. AN EXCEPTION WAS MADE IN THE CASE OF THE NEGRIN'S BECAUSE OF THEIR DEDICATED WORK IN DEFENDING THE LAND AND RESOURCES OF THE WIXARIKA PEOPLE AND THE NON-PROFIT NATURE OF THE WORK THEY CARRIED OUT OVER SEVERAL DECADES. THE TAPE RECORDINGS TO BE CONVERTED INTO DIGITAL FORMAT CONSIST OF SACRED CHANTS, ORAL HISTORY AS RECOUNTED BY THE COUNCIL OF ELDERS, TRADITIONAL MUSIC, COMMUNITY ASSEMBLIES AND INTERVIEWS. PRESENTLY THE TAPES ARE ON CASSETTES AND THE DIGITAL CONVERSION IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THIS IMPORTANT BODY OF WORK. IN MID MAY 2011, TWO DELEGATIONS OF WIXRIKA AUTHORITIES TRAVELED BEYOND MEXICO IN DEFENSE OF THEIR SACRED LANDS. ONE DELEGATION TRAVELED TO VANCOUVER, BC TO ATTEND THE STOCK HOLDERS MEETING OF FIRST MAJESTIC SILVER COMPANY. AN ELDER FROM THE COMMUNITY OF SAN SEBASTIN, JESS LARA CHIVARA, WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE STOCK HOLDERS MEETING USING A PROXY PROVIDED TO HIM BY THE TREASURER OF OUR FOUNDATION (WHO HOLDS 1 SHARE OF STOCK IN FIRST MAJESTIC) AND CILAU VALADEZ ATTENDED THE MEETING USING THE PROXY OF ANOTHER STOCK HOLDER SYMPATHETIC TO THEIR CAUSE. WHILE IN VANCOUVER THEY WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE WITH OTHER INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN EVENTS DURING MINING JUSTICE WEEK. THE SECOND DELEGATION TRAVELED TO NEW YORK CITY TO ATTEND THE UNITED NATIONS TENTH FORUM ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, WHERE THEIR ENTRANCE WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY CULTURAL SURVIVAL. WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH CULTURAL SURVIVAL OUR FOUNDATION WAS ABLE TO ARRANGE A PRIVATE MEETING BETWEEN THE WIXRIKA DELEGATION AND MR. JAMES ANAYA, THE UNITED NATION'S SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR FOR INDIGENOUS RIGHTS, AND THE DELEGATION WAS ABLE TO READ THEIR COMPLAINT AND HAVE IT ENTERED INTO THE RECORD. MR. JAMES ANAYA HAS SINCE TAKEN A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE DEFENSE AND PRESERVATION OF THEIR SACRED PILGRIMAGE ROUTE, DIRECTLY ENGAGING THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT. THE ISSUE OF WIRIKUTA AND THE WIXRIKA'S RIGHT TO FREE, PRIOR AND INFORMED CONSENT UNDER THE UNITED NATIONS TREATY 169 WAS A PROMINENT FOCUS IN HIS YEARLY REPORT.

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTest0FACTS-AND-CIRCUMSTANCES TEST THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS AN ACTIVE, CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE FUNDRAISING PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT. IN AN EFFORT TO GENERATE PUBLIC SUPPORT, THE ORGANIZATION SENDS OUT AN ANNUAL LETTER TO SOLICIT DONATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION ALSO ANNUALLY SENDS AN E-MAIL REQUESTING DONATIONS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED UP TO RECEIVE THE ORGANIZATION'S ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER. FINALLY, THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE OFFERS EDUCATIONAL PUBLICATIONS, GREETING CARDS, AND T-SHIRTS IN EXCHANGE FOR DONATIONS. ALTHOUGH DURING THE 2011 TAX YEAR, THE MAJORITY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SUPPORT CAME FROM ONE VERY GENEROUS INDIVIDUAL, THE ORGANIZATION HAS A BASE OF YEARLY DONORS THAT IS GROWING. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO COUNTS ON A GREAT DEAL OF NON-MONETARY SUPPORT IN THE WAY OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, COMPUTER MAINTENANCE, LEGAL ADVICE, HELP WITH TRANSLATING AND EDITING, REPORTING FROM NGO'S IN THE FIELD AND WIXRIKA PROFESSIONALS AND ELECTED AUTHORITIES WHO KEEP THE ORGANIZATION CURRENT ON EVENTS TAKING PLACE IN MEXICO. THE ORGANIZATION AIMS TO KEEP ACCESS TO THEIR WEBSITE FREE TO THE PUBLIC AND THE IN-KIND DONATIONS ARE THEREFORE OF SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE TO THE ORGANIZATION. COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: THE FOUNDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE FOUNDATION CONTINUE TO ALL BE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN OR DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH THE WIXRIKA NATION FOR MANY DECADES. JUAN NEGRN, DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER OF THE WIXARIKA RESEARCH CENTER, HAS WORKED IN THE FIELD FOR 41 YEARS AND FOUNDED AND HEADED THREE NGO'S BENEFITING THE WIXRIKA IN MEXICO PRIOR TO RETURNING TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1996. TWO OF THESE NGO'S CONTINUE TO OPERATE PROVIDING IMPORTANT SERVICES TO THE WIXRIKA COMMUNITIES. MR. NEGRN CONTINUES HIS INVESTIGATIVE WORK IN THE FIELD MAKING TRIPS TO THE SIERRAS AND PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY GENERAL ASSEMBLIES. DURING THIS YEAR HE HAS GIVEN A NUMBER OF RADIO INTERVIEWS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF WIRIKUTA FOR THE WIXRIKA PEOPLE. YVONNE NEGRN, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE WIXRIKA RESEARCH CENTER, WAS ACTIVE IN THE FIELD FROM 1970 THROUGH 1996 AND ACTIVELY WORKED WITH FOUR NGO'S IN MEXICO DURING THAT TIME. SHE CONTINUES TO MAKE TRIPS TO MEXICO FROM TIME TO TIME AND IS IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE WIXRIKA AND COLLEAGUES IN THE FIELD. IT IS HER TASK TO KEEP THE WEBSITE NEWS SECTION CURRENT AND TO BUILD NEW PAGES OF EXHIBITS OF FINE AND TRADITIONAL ART. SHE ALSO HANDLES MUCH OF THE COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE FOUNDATION. DIANA NEGRN, PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, IS A DOCTORAL CANDIDATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY - DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND A FORD FELLOW AND BANCROFT SCHOLAR. DIANA WAS RAISED FROM BIRTH AROUND THE WIXRIKA PEOPLE AND THE FOCUS OF HER DOCTORAL WORK IN HUMAN GEOGRAPHY IS ON WIXRIKA MIGRATIONS, HOW THEY ARE INTEGRATING INTO MEXICO'S URBAN AREAS AS STUDENTS SEEKING A HIGHER EDUCATION, AND THE DIFFICULTIES THEY ENCOUNTER. DIANA HAS SPENT AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF HOURS EACH MONTH MAKING CONTACT WITH OTHER FOUNDATIONS, SUCH AS THE INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF NATURE, AND CONTINUES TO SPEND SIGNIFICANT TIME EACH MONTH TRANSLATING DOCUMENTS AND WRITING LETTERS FOR THE FOUNDATION. RICHARD READER, CHIEF MEDIA OFFICER (CMO), HAS HAD AN INTEREST IN THE WIXRIKA SINCE THE MID 1970'S. HE AND HIS WIFE HAVE MAINTAINED FRIENDSHIPS WITH, AND GIVEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO, INDIVIDUAL WIXRIKA AND THEY HAVE TRAVELED TO MEXICO ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN PILGRIMAGES AND TO VISIT THEIR WIXRIKA FRIENDS. MR. READER IS A SPECIALIST IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL NETWORKING AND ADVISES THE FOUNDATION IN HIS AREA OF EXPERTISE. HE IS ON CALL AT ALL TIMES. ANTHONY SOMKIN, M.D., TREASURER, WAS EXTREMELY ACTIVE THIS PAST YEAR AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING CONTACT WITH PROFESSOR GLEN MILLER AND GETTING HIM TO TRAVEL TO BERKELEY AND GIVE A PRESENTATION AT THE LA PEA EVENT. ANTHONY ALSO ACTIVELY REACHES OUT

AN ELDER FROM THE COMMUNITY OF SAN SEBASTIN, JESS LARA CHIVARA, WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE STOCK HOLDERS MEETING USING A PROXY PROVIDED TO HIM BY THE TREASURER OF OUR FOUNDATION (WHO HOLDS 1 SHARE OF STOCK IN FIRST MAJESTIC) AND CILAU VALADEZ ATTENDED THE MEETING USING THE PROXY OF ANOTHER STOCK HOLDER SYMPATHETIC TO THEIR CAUSE. WHILE IN VANCOUVER THEY WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE WITH OTHER INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN EVENTS DURING MINING JUSTICE WEEK. THE SECOND DELEGATION TRAVELED TO NEW YORK CITY TO ATTEND THE UNITED NATIONS TENTH FORUM ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, WHERE THEIR ENTRANCE WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY CULTURAL SURVIVAL. WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH CULTURAL SURVIVAL OUR FOUNDATION WAS ABLE TO ARRANGE A PRIVATE MEETING BETWEEN THE WIXRIKA DELEGATION AND MR. JAMES ANAYA, THE UNITED NATION'S SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR FOR INDIGENOUS RIGHTS, AND THE DELEGATION WAS ABLE TO READ THEIR COMPLAINT AND HAVE IT ENTERED INTO THE RECORD. MR. JAMES ANAYA HAS SINCE TAKEN A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE DEFENSE AND PRESERVATION OF THEIR SACRED PILGRIMAGE ROUTE, DIRECTLY ENGAGING THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT. THE ISSUE OF WIRIKUTA AND THE WIXRIKA'S RIGHT TO FREE, PRIOR AND INFORMED CONSENT UNDER THE UNITED NATIONS TREATY 169 WAS A PROMINENT FOCUS IN HIS YEARLY REPORT.
