My
experience in living and working with indigenous people has given me the hope
that I have - they have taught me concretely that humans have the capacity to
be marvelous, and not destructive.
The
situation is extremely complex. Just the combination of the indigenous and environmental
issues in one cause in Chile today is 'explosive'. If you add the issues of energy
policy, ENDESA's monopoly, citizens' participation and the imperfection of Chile's
democracy - issues which are all in question around the Biobío situation - then
you will understand why the Biobío cause is so important as to be called emblematic
by many."
