Telma Monteiro, Coordinadora Amazonia de la Asociación de Defensa Etno-Ambiental Kanindé, Rondônia, Brasil: Video Recording At Inter-American Commission On Human Rights
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to hear about human rights abuses stemming from Initiative for the Integration of Regional Infrastructure in South America (IIRSA)
Telma Monteiro, Coordinadora Amazonia de la Asociación de Defensa Etno-Ambiental Kanindé, Rondônia, Brasil
"Coordinadora de ONG brasileña habla de las contradicciones en proyectos como la Iniciativa para la Integración de la Infraestructura Regional Suramericana, porque el gobierno de Brasil usa el pretexto que estos proyectos benefician a todos los brasileños, mientras que en realidad traen destrucción a la Amazonia y beneficios sólo a las compañías grandes."

Oglala Lakota Crazy Horse Passes Away
On This Day: In 1877 Crazy Horse (Lakota: Thasúŋke Witkó, literally "His-Horse-Is-Crazy" or "His-Horse-Is-Spirited") travelled to the Happy Hunting Ground. Crazy Horse was a Native American war leader of the Oglala Lakota. He took up arms against the U.S. Federal government to fight against encroachments on the territories and way of life of the Lakota people, including leading a war party at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June 1876.
