Songs for Ayer y siempre 03/27/2010
 News from Bilingual Planet: We finally found an incredible singer for our nursery rhymes. We had many wonderful singers send us samples of their work and decided to go with a singer from Perú. Some of the songs can be heard and/or purchased on the website. The full CD version will be coming soon!!. http://www.bilingualplanet.com/gpage7.html This one is my favorite. No one portrays or mentions all the indigenous peoples that still exist in many countries. I love their natural and simple way of life. I feel for their pain and hardship of losing their land and identity. Connie McLennan did a beautiful job illustrating it.  Who are Indigenous People? The world population of indigenous people is approximately 300 million, according to the International Labour Organization. This includes around 5000 different groups, living in over seventy countries. The indigenous people of the world possess an immense knowledge of their environments, based on centuries of living close to nature. Indigenous people Indigenous people are strikingly diverse in their culture, religion, and social and economic organization. Yet today, as in the past, they are prey to stereotyping by the outside world. By some they are idealized as the embodiment of spiritual values; by others they are denigrated as an obstacle to economic progress. However, they are neither: they are people who cherish their own distinct cultures, are the victims of past and present-day colonialism, and are determined to survive. Some live according to their traditions; some receive welfare; others work in factories, offices or the professions. As well as their diversity, there are some shared values and experiences among indigenous cultures. Where they have maintained a close living relationship to the land, there exists a co-operative attitude of give and take, a respect for the Earth and the life it supports, and a perception that humanity is but one of many species.
