Taiwan: Pingpu Aborigines demand recognition

[Huang,Chun]

Thank you, Uncle Rolland, for your kind words that truly express
emotions well :) 

And thank you, Richard and Dr. Hardman, for helping
me answer Rolland. Yes no apology needed. Openness helps us. 

I wasn't
able to reply sooner because I just flew to Guam two days ago and today
I've started working in my new school already (I'll add some info about
my new affiliation below). Currently I am staying in a hotel arranged by
the school and I don't always have internet access. Neither have I
access to the school internet yet. You will see me more often when I am
more settled here... maybe in a couple of weeks. 

again, thank you all
for the responses. They are much appreciated. 

Chun (Jimmy) Huang


Assistant Professor, Division of English and Applied Linguistics,


University of Guam.

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
