nativos peruanos en resistencia por matanza 2
In this video, produced by AIDESEP (Peruvian Jungle Interethnic Development Association), depicts president Alberto Pizango speaking out against the injustices done to Indigenous people in Peru in the name of development. He notes that Indigenous people in Peru are the owners of ancestral territories, and thus need to be consulted for any development projects. Also pictured are eyewitness accounts of unprovoked police attacks during Indigenous protests.

Original description:
"Sí el gobierno peruano cometió un grabe error , tratando de ignorante..cuánto nos falta aprender de nuestros hermanos nativos a quien les tengo tanto respeto y cariño.
No son muchos los prepotentes y sobervios,en mi país Perú, lástima que pueden hacer sangrar a todo un país.
Mis respetos a los policias caídos en este desencuentro..ellos tambien fueron víctimas , y nuestros nativos ayyy ellos toda la historia del Perú son víctimas tambien."
