The Western view of native people is a cliched mixture of
misinformation. The prevailing view has often been that indigenous
peoples were merely obstacles to the onward march of progress. Even
now the echoes of history remain strong. Today, however, the lands
of indigenous peoples are the new frontier full of the raw
materials coveted by industrial society. This new colonization
recalls the old: the same impetus to 'civilise' exists today in the
minds of political leaders, World Bank officials and transnational
corporations. Yet it is an ill-disguised bonanza with no thought
for the long-term effects on the land, or the people who live
there. Only the elimination of the colonial relationship itself can
lead to a partnership of cultures.
