(Clarifies name of U.S.-based NGO, paragraph 9)A Peruvian tribe filed a complaint on Tuesday with the ombudsman of the World Bank's International Finance Corp (IFC) against Maple Energy Plc, accusing the oil company of polluting its ancestral land and rivers in the Amazon.Members of the Shipibo-Konibo indigenous communities in Canaan de Cachicuyo and Nuevo Sucre say Maple has contaminated their food and water, including five oil spills in the last 15 months."Our kids are drinking this water and getting sick. And while Maple is working in our territory and getting rich we're suffering," Joaquin Sanancino Rodriguez, a community leader in Canaan, told Reuters. "The issue has never been resolved; that's why we've launched this demand."
