I
don't feel that the United Nations is really complete.
We know what's the United Nations but in my traditional
upbringing, the teachings that were taught to me by my
Elders -- that there are four nations. There are four
groups of peoples in this world. There is the black
people, there is the white people, there is the yellow
people and there is the red people. I see in United
Nations the presence of three of those peoples: the
white people, the black people and the yellow people.
But where are the red people? |
