"I want my land back NOW!!" (¡Quiero mi tierra devolvió AHORA!)

 

He cooperated for this photo, but maintained the same high level of enthusiasm day after day for hours at a time. At about the time this photo was taken, the boss of the man on the loincloth (who had signed but not implemented an agreement to return the land) died in a plane crash.

 

The phrase "500 Years of Oppression, 500 Years of Resistance" was suggested by a Native American man upon seeing this photo at one of my book signing events.
