The Plight of Indigenous Peoples.
Hitchcock, Robert K.
Social Education, v49 n6 p457-62 Sep 1985
Recent estimates suggest that 40 percent of the people around the world do not enjoy basic civil liberties and human rights. Among indigenous people--sometimes called aboriginals, native peoples, or tribal peoples--this percentage is much greater. Why and how indigenous peoples continue to be victims of oppression is discussed. (RM)
