Taiwan: Pingpu Aborigines demand recognition

[Richard Zane Smith]

I'm sorry you feel you have to apologize Rolland.
these are the kinds of discussions that some of us live for. not just lists
of cold facts.
or lists of *"new and improved products."*
unless of course , its from a wary "sense" that colonizers are still active
among us
trying to use our languages as a scalpel to get into our inner beings.
Those professionals who want to fix us, as if we are broken toys....

únęh !
Sǫhahiyǫh
