A Profound Difference
Evo Morales met yesterday with indigenous leaders of North America at the National Museum of the American Indian. Contrasting the legitimacy and authenticity of indigenous leadership with that of non-indigenous leaders, Bolivia's president said that, "In indigenous culture, equality is sacred. It’s a profound difference between our model life in indigenous communities and the model of life put forward by a capitalist society".
