Here is a somewhat sparse article from the BBC that talks about the "first international forum for indigenous peoples in the Congo basin". It's actually an interesting read, though a bit short on details. What I found most interesting was the closing thought that there are things we can learn from them.
Of course, I can already tell that President Bush wouldn't like them. Not only are they trying to fight for their rights and against discrimination, but they see the value of education (not to be confused with training). The quote I liked from the BBC article:
There is also a strong appreciation of the role education can play in helping the communities fight for their rights in the outside world.
I recommend taking time for a quick read through it. Helps provider a slightly broader world view. ;)
