Let’s begin with the basics. 5.1 refers to five speaker channels and one subwoofer channel (.1) Depending on the size of the speakers in your system, the subwoofer may handle only the extremely low frequency effects (A.K.A. LFE) It may also handle bass that might otherwise be sent to the front and center speakers. The rest of your 5.1 speaker system is comprised of front left and right speakers, a dedicated center channel and two side surround speakers. - more on that in a moment.

Rubatex 180 "We U'wa believe the following: Sira, our God, placed everything in its place in the world so that each thing could fulfill a certain role. For example, the mountains, the rivers, the oil, salt, minerals. Each of these has a role to play within the Earth. Oil then was placed in the Earth to fulfill its role, to make the Earth stronger, to strengthen the Earth so that she may resist and be fed. You see, oil is the blood of the Earth. If we remove it, blood will run wild. Oil then is like the heart; if you remove the heart from a person, that person dies. This is the same that occurs with the Earth."
- Daris Cristancho

Rubatex 373 Background on the U'wa and the U'wa Defense Project:

Rubatex Rubber The U'wa, are an Indigenous community of 5,000 who live in the cloudforest of northeastern Colombia near Venezuela. Despite the brutality of centuries of colonization and western development imposed upon the 84 tribes in Colombia, the U'wa people are among the most traditional of the tribes. As their territory includes headwaters that feed many Andean and Amazonian rivers and tributaries, as most Indigenous peoples, they take very seriously their historical responsibility to protect these resources and to maintain the balance of the earth.

Rubatex Tape Unfortunately, in a global context where petroleum is valued more than people and the environment, the U'wa communities and their ancestral lands are under attack. Since 1992, the U'wa have led a multi-faceted campaign to defend their land and culture from the violence that always accompanies oil extraction in Colombia. In 2001, they celebrated briefly when Occidental Petroleum withdrew from a drilling project on their ancestral lands and were quickly forced to reorganize when Occidental was replaced by state-owned Ecopetrol.

Rubatex Closing The strength of U'wa organizing in the face of oil greed, is challenged even further by a civil conflict supported with US funds, weapons and training. To understand how they resist, one must consider all aspects of the community. With support from the U'wa Defense Project and following the lead of elders and medicine people, the U'wa continue their struggle using peaceful tactics, legal resources, grassroots organizing, Indian-to-Indian mobilizing, leadership development for women and youth.

Rubatex Closed Cell Gasketing The U'wa Defense Project is small NGO lead by a young Colombian woman of Indigenous ancestry and is dedicated to providing direct support to build the capacity of the U'wa tribe. We are fortunate to work with a strong network of sister organizations nationwide, and are proud to be the only US- based organization to prioritize on-the-ground commitment to U'wa-led community development. UDP provides legal, community development, research and advocacy support to the Indigenous U'wa people in Colombia as they work to defend their life, land and cultural autonomy.

Felpro Gaskets Daris Cristancho has been a leader in her U'wa community, located in northeastern Colombia, since the age of 12. Daris is one of the few women leaders to serve on the community's tribal council. Her skills as a grassroots Indigenous leader were poignantly represented when she headed a peaceful roadblock in 2001 in response to a violent eviction of U'wa families carried out by the Colombian army who was favoring the investments of Occidental Petroleum, a US company which was aiming drilling on U'wa ancestral land.

Poly Products Supplies Daris is the first U'wa woman ever to come to the United States. She is a powerful speaker who bears witness not only to the brutality of petroleum extraction and its consequences, but to Colombia's 40 year old civil war, and also to the simultaneous beauty of the political resistance of her Indian people. She speaks first-hand on how the U'wa struggles are grounded in the spiritual strength which comes from their land, Kajka Ika, the heart of the world. Daris comes from a long line of medicine women, and she speaks, grounded in that heritage, about the interconnectedness between putting her life on the line for her community and her daily struggles and joys of being a woman, a grassroots leader and a mother.

Poly Hunting Feeders The U'wa community has recently chosen Ms. Cristancho to be their international liaison. Working directly with the U'wa Defense Project, she continues organizing despite the January 2004 killing of the first U'wa leader, Yamile Uncasia, and recent threats to her life by illegal armed groups. This follows the tragic loss in March 1999 of Ingrid Washinawatok, Lahe'ena'e Gay and Terrence Freitas, two North American Indigenous leaders and the founder of U'wa Defense Project who were kidnapped and assassinated by the FARC guerrilla group. The U'wa community, U'wa supporters, and the relatives of the three, still feel the loss of these amazing individuals.

Shoreline 13171 17 Neoprene The U'wa Defense Project has invited Ms. Cristancho to the United States to share her community's experience and to support the tribe as they build strategic, long lasting networks of solidarity. We are facilitating a speaking tour to New York, San Francisco and Washington DC, including her participation in the UN's Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues whose theme this year is Indigenous Women.
