Citas de Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

• Investors, monarchies, and parliamentarians devised methods to control the processes of wealth accumulation and the power that came with it, but the ideology behind gold fever mobilized settlers to cross the Atlantic to an unknown fate. Subjugating entire societies and civilizations, enslaving whole countries, and slaughtering people village by village did not seem too high a price to pay, nor did it appear inhumane. The systems of colonization were modern and rational, but its ideological basis was madness.

• In the present, the way benevolence is expressed is in conceptualizing the Native as a historical relic; US people have to be constantly reminded that there are still existent Indigenous peoples and communities in North America, but whether left or right, recent immigrant or descendants of settlers, even descendants of enslaved Africans, the Native presence is not a consideration in the day to day life of individuals and municipal, state and national governments.

• ¿Cómo se destruirá la unidad familiar? ...[L]a reivindicación por sí sola pondrá en tela de juicio toda la ideología de la familia, de modo que las mujeres podremos empezar a establecer una comunidad de trabajo entre nosotras y podremos luchar colectivamente. Las mujeres se sentirán más libres para dejar a sus maridos y ser económicamente independientes, ya sea a través de un empleo o de la asistencia social.

• La importancia del término "genocidio" para muchos Pueblos Indígenas es que es más que un término o una acusación; es una palabra creada a raíz de la Shoah en Europa para describir lo que ocurre cuando un pueblo es objetivo de un gobierno para su exterminio, como lo fueron los judíos de Europa, y que es el término utilizado en la legislación internacional más importante relacionada con los Pueblos Indígenas afectados, como la única legislación internacional de derechos humanos que se refiere específicamente a colectividades de personas y no a individuos.

• The term "genocide" is often incorrectly assumed to mean extreme examples of mass murder associated with war, with the death of millions of individuals, as, for instance in Cambodia. Although clearly the Holocaust was the most extreme of all genocides, the bar set by the Nazis is not the bar required to be considered genocide. Most importantly, genocide does not have to be complete to be considered genocide.
