New Indigenous Reserve Aims at Saving Fading Culture
While reading the Huffington Post, I came across the article New Indigenous Reserve Aims at Saving Fading Culture. It reminded me of the reading "The Kayapo Resistance," because they both have to do with indigenous people fighting to save their culture. In the Huffington Post article, the Maijuana people of Peru were granted a reserve that is close to a million acres. The article makes it sound like a step forward for the people, and I really hope it is. I like to think that this is part of a snowball created from the "Kayapo Resistance" and that because of the Kayapo, indigenous people around the world are finally getting justice and the rights to the land that they deserve.
