Thank you for posting this, Hilda.

The world is an evolving place, and from our "modern" perspective we see many wrongs that should never have occurred, and that should have been corrected much earlier than they actually were. Many still need critical attention. The white colonizer's gaze is being returned by the dark faces of those who survived. Here in the U.S. there are still many who describe themselves as colonized people and continue to fight the government that treats them like children to be exploited. Since the solutions to these problems will inconvenience the dominant culture, those answers are slow to come, or are ignored entirely. Good luck in your continued struggle.
