El presidente nicaragüense Enrique Bolaños ha devuelto cinco parcelas de tierra, en total 8000 km2, a los indígenas "miskito" de la costa caribeña del país. Los pueblos indígenas de Tani Tasbaika, Mayagna Sauni As, Li Lamni Tasbaika Kum, Mayagna Sauni Bu y Indios Miskitu Tasbaika Kum poseen ahora un título comunal de su tierra.
Bolaños declaraba: "Ahora las tierras han vuelto a sus verdaderos propietarios, tierras por las cuales las comunidades han luchado durante muchos años, desde la época de nuestros antepasados".
