SAN FRANCISCO -- "I grew up on the land," says Sarah James, Neets’aii Gwich’in. It was fifteen miles from the nearest neighbor.
"I spoke only Gwich'in until I was thirteen years old, when I went to school."

NEW YORK -- In the talk-polite world of the United Nations, Indigenous representatives for the people of Aceh, West Papua, and Maluku delivered a fiery speech, and described the human rights abuses by Indonesia's government.
The delegation also had their signs taken away by United Nations security, and were told not to offend anyone at the U.N. Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York.
