Miskitu Autonomy
The Miskitu people are indigenous people in Northeastern Nicaragua and Southeastern Honduras. These people are a conglomeration of people who inhabit the Sumo, Rama, and Miskitu region. This web site will focus on the historical autonomy of these people due to their geographic locale, active resistance against outside influences and recent political agreements that have allowed them to retain their autonomy. In order to reach a peace settlement, the Miskitu were later offered the Sandinista autonomy plan that would guarantee them their independence. Our web site will show why these two groups were in such great conflict and if the autonomy plan actually granted independence. In addition, we will define autonomy and what factors contribute to the debate of the existence of a Miskitu state.
