Upon its release, rencontres had dedicated a
Webpage to Brigitte Wyngaarde, democratically elected Customary Chief of a
Community village of the French Amazonia. We appreciated this young woman's
courage, which, after her father, chose to get her community going within the global
citizenship. A step toward all progress that improves the human personal merit, in his
preserved living space. The communautary tradition being respected and also being
the foundation and cement of Amerindian society. Brigitte Wyngaarde is giving no battle
whatsoever. She only wants to resist the society's violence in this environment. It brings
all those nasty winds and seeks to possess, occupy, and bargain over the natural human and
social space, not to mention imposing what it calls its value, that cannot any longer be
controlled. Amerindians would be there, only to fall victims of surplus acts of
delinquency, namely alcoholism, individual or strayed groups delinquencies, drug, greedy
push fullness. The Amerindian societies’ marginalization can actually be seen
on the spot, in the texts and institutions which ignore and scorn all that is not in their
standards
It is just on this matter that Brigitte Wyngaarde is standing firmly, with the
support and encouragement of this tiny people. Together with the awareness of their
ability to freely make a choice by themselves; this is good for their own preservation as
well as for the development of their will-being, let alone, due respect to all people as a
whole.We thank Brigitte Wyngaarde for her long talk
on the telephone, which has enabled us to write this page. |
