"I am very hopeful that the changes that are taking place now will pay off for the new generation. Moreover, we are at this point thanks to the efforts of several generations of indigenous leaderships, and because we have found allies in institutions and we have the support of well-known figures and sometimes, even politicians had supported us along the way. Thus, the strategy chosen by our elders about using the UN Charter to claim our rights has been effective."
