I am deeply gladdened that 1993 has been delcared the International Year of Indigenous Peoples by the United Nations. It is the first year we have had in five hundred years. This is thanks to the struggle of many untitled, unnamed indigenous brothers who, without understanding international law, patiently walked the corridors asking for some time. Thanks to them this international year has been declared.

We can only love a person who eats what we eat.

I wish that a conscious sense of peace and a feeling of human solidarity would develop in all peoples.

I am like a drop of water on a rock. After drip, drip, dripping in the same place, I begin to leave a mark, and I leave my mark in many people's hearts.

The human being is to be respected and defended, not protected like a bird or a river.

... only those of us who carry our cause in our hearts are willing to run the risks.
