Taiwan: Pingpu Aborigines demand recognition

[Dr. MJ Hardman]

Thank you, Richard.   I, also, did not think Rolland need apologize, nor do
I think Chun would think so either, and yes, we do learn of problems in
Taiwan through Chun (Jimmy) that are not unlike those we have in the
American continents, and likewise, one is Jaqi, and thus human, as for the
anishinabeh.  MJ
