"I want there to exist—respecting cultures—a single society. That both the k'ara and the Indian recognize each other as equals; enough of confrontation, enough of remembering the 500 years... There must be forgiveness between us... As long as we live in confrontation, it will be a second-class Bolivia, underdeveloped, and that is why my first pillar is to live among equals; it is the first thing."
