I was lucky enough to attend a seminar organized by two Canadians who identify as part of the First Nations, and hearing about their rights (or lack of), the denunciation or even the fact that the Canadian law decides who is and isn't indigenous was really eye-opening. The plight of autochtones in South America is even worse, I believe...

...and that's just on aspect of the Westerisation of the world, amplified by globalization. It's profoundly disturbing for me to speak with young children here who have dreams like being president of the USA or marrying a white woman and living in France, etc. They've all already internalized a cultural hierarchy, how could that even be changed?
