Indigenous rights are human rights, and I encourage you to think more critically about what the term 'indigenous' means in the context of the Americas. Human rights apply to all people regardless of borders that surround them. Native Americans are diverse people, and giving them titles of "Mexican" "American" or "Indian" is not only irrelevant to the issue of sexual violence, but it is also up to indigenous peoples to determine what they call themselves. Furthermore, the people who now find themselves within the territory of the United States are also diverse, and by speaking in the "we," you are falsely asserting a unified voice and position for the purpose of excluding a certain ethnic group. Such assertions are dangerous and an insult to the spirit of human rights and democracy. Thanks for your comment Diane.

Anywho I wanted to say that it's good to know that someone else also touched on this as it was difficult finding the same info elsewhere. Yours was the first place that told me the answer. Much obliged. Huh that was odd, my comment got eaten. Anywho I wanted to say that it’s good to know that someone else also touched on this as it was difficult finding the same info elsewhere.

I just needed to inform you that some elements of your site are difficult to read for me, as I'm color blind. I am a sufferrer of protanopia, however there are other varieties of color blindness that will also have problems. I will understand most of the site Okay, and the elements I have problems with I am able to understand by employing a adapted browser. Just the same, it would be great if you would consider us color-blind people while carrying out the next website design. Many Thanks. Hi.

Their role is to justify their political system, blaming their prey and at the same time intimidating potential prey.
