Indians as agitators. Indians as savages. Indians as a minute group holding enormous resources. Indians as the raison d'etre of the army. Indians as a drag on the progress of the state.

Pretty cool stuff. Not shown are the surprisingly equivalent number of unarmed Indians killed by the armed agents of the state, usually the kills are asymmetric, with heaps more dead unarmed than armed, or the happy faces of oil and gas men around who's benefit the Peruvian state, like many others, revolves in captive orbit.

I'm glad to report that the recently formed academic organization, the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, is taking a position on the Peruvian government's pattern of breachs of ILO 169 and expropriation of land and water.
