Indigenous fate


As the Fourth Summit of the Americas comes to a close in Argentina...

One wonders if the targets and planned outcomes of this conference have been met...As the streets are cleared of the debris from the peaceful followed by violent protests...

While the politicians (popular & unpopular) return to their enclaves, the message of the thousands peacefully demonstrating against a free trade scheme was loud and clear...
Will the promised eradication of poverty, provision of health care, employment and better living conditions be met by the plans put in train by the bureaucrats?

One wonders as the INDIGENOUS peoples from all over the Americas still confront Racism. Poverty, victimisation, degrading of their homesteads... PLUS untoward mammoth Earth Changes...


Has anybody raised the issue of infant mortality...The drug trade...Slavery...Illegal gold, diamond, uranium, bauxite, tin or copper mining.. plus the unabated logging that denudes the largest rainforest???

May the ancesors be pleased as we acknowledge our way of measuring time,
