It seems that many folks in this congress have respected the voice of the indigenous members of their society. Hopefully the Peruvian Congress itself is representative of the demographics of the country. Indigenous movements offer all of us–as human beings–the opportunity to pay deep attention to the communities of memory that have shaped us. We all have–if we reflect across the generations–a sense of place. We do not need territorialism, but we do need to learn from those who have a long memory and relationship with specific places and regions. This makes ecological as well as cultural sense—if we are to avoid equating what is better in our ethical map merely with what is new or innovative.
