Re: Creating a European Indigenous People’s Movement
Yes, I think the Indigenous Peoples argument is worth introducing into debates but quickly gets entangled in who went where after the last Ice Age and whether group migrations after a certain date makes that group non-indigenous. Lots of hair-splitting and argumentation.
Even so it is worth introducing the argument to the broader public so that the next time they hear about the plight of an indigenous group in Asia, Africa or the Americas they will say "What about us? Who cares about our cultural survival?"
