Hi Folks:

First Nations Peoples across the Americas are beginning to head to the Courts in droves with ages old outstanding claims and complaints. This 12 billion Cofan lawsuit is very interesting:
BBC Newsnight has been able to get rare footage of a new Cofan Indian ritual deep in the heart of the Amazonian rainforest.

Known as "The Filing of the Law Suit," these natives of Ecuador's jungle, decked in feathers and war paint and heavily armed with lawyers, are seen presenting their official complaint seeking $12bn from Chevron Inc - the international oil giant.

Take care,

Danny,
