There’s problems here in America. I’m one of the people who believe you have to take care of your own home before you can help fix someone else’s.

Having that said, I am still deeply saddened when I read about tribes of people being harassed and displaced in other countries.  It hurts my heart that people can’t be above the dollar. People care more about money than right and wrong. Forcing people from villages, denying them their basic right to hunt and drink water on their own land is inhumane. But what is humane anyway? Humanity’s been fucked since the bartering system.

So major corporations and governments remove people from land that’s been a part of the tribe for hundreds, if not thousands, or years. They’ve been there since before “the establishment” so I don’t think anyone has a right to make any indigenous tribe relocate. And for what? Diamonds? Gold?

Not only are these companies removing  people from their homes, they’re introducing disease and killing off the natural resources. It’s all for greed. The rich want to get richer. It’s disgusting.
