<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>re. indigenous people,</div>
<div>the last thing that should probably happen here is that a few white and privileged people and institutions claim to speak for those indigenous communities.</div>
<div>I propose these communities would articulate their own policies and express them, and/or be given a forum to do so.</div>
<div>It's the latter though that was often missing, and contributes to the problems we see.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It should probably also be stated that there is likely not just one singular voice and opinion on indigenous issues by indeginous people,</div>
<div>even if it pertains the same subject matter and location/village.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Same applies to anthropologists and social scientists often involved there.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The understanding of a democratic process differs a lot, and when elders and families play a major role.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for bringing this up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>No offense, but it is also my view and experience that the EU, big NGO and traditional science perspective is often 100% off on those issues,</div>
<div>just due to the bad history, colonies, persistent neo-colonialism and the reality of no indigenous people and voices</div>
<div>left there. It makes it hard to have a truly meaningful communication and understanding with those purely</div>
<div>industry-driven nations, leaders and representatives on those matters and when their power is to be shared.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>More to be said but please keep us informed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just my perspective and opinion/reply on Suchith's question..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks, very best</div>
