Indigenous Peoples' Resistance to Economic Globalization:
A Celebration of Victories, Rights and Cultures
Indigenous Peoples' Resistance to Economic Globalization:
A Celebration of Victories, Rights and Cultures
Hundreds of people from around the world recently gathered
in New York for the "Indigenous Peoples' Resistance to
Economic Globalization a Celebration of Victories, Rights
and Cultures" teach-in put on by the International Forum
on Globalization and the Tebtebba Foundation. Today, we'll
play some of the speeches from the event:
- Elouise Cobell, a Blackfeet Indian and the plaintiff
in the landmark lawsuit Cobell v. Kempthorne. The suit was
filed on behalf of 300,000 Native Americans and is the largest
class action lawsuit ever filed against the U.S. government.
- Felix Villca, an Aymara Indian and a senior advisor to
the Bolivian Foreign Ministry in the government of Evo Morales,
Bolivia's first indigenous president.
- Sheila Watt-Cloutier, former chair of the Inuit Circumpolar
Council that represents the more than 150,000 Inuit of Canada,
Greenland, Alaska, and Russia.
- Mililani Trask, a native Hawaiian attorney.
