The Struggle for Indigenous Rights: From Chiapas to Hawaii
Indigenous peoples throughout the world are asserting their rights. Chiapas in southern Mexico and Hawaii in the north Pacific are two of the most important struggles. Land, language and cultural autonomy are central to their demands. Their lands are not theme parks. Native peoples are not exotic colonies. They represent values, traditions and sensitivities that are essential to planetary well-being.
