RE: The Story of the Indigenous Ishír People of Paraguay (SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry)
There seems to be a lot of conflicts with Indigenous cultures in South America, which is shit. Cool experience for you though.
True, there seem to be some conflicts in every country. In Bolivia, there actually is an Indigenous majority and the current president is Indigenous as well; he even changed the country's name from "Republic of Bolivia" to "Plurinational State of Bolivia" to include all the indigenous peoples (some people say he only changed the name to be able to be reelected as president though).
In the rest of South America, Indigenous people are mostly a minority and often discriminated against. In Paraguay, the Indigenous language Guarani is now an official language and officially the indigenous people have the same rights as anyone else, but reality looks different..
