Interview With Amina Lawal's Attorney

Notes To A Globalizing World From A Maasai Warrior
From Baobabconnections in Tanzania: "When I went to the United Nations, I
thought that I would meet people from every nation of the world. I
expected to find Maasai and Wahadzabe and people from thousands of other
indigenous tribes making the important decisions... but I heard only the
languages of rich people, like English, French and German."
