Scientists and Indigenous People
Scientists should work with indigenous people, not on them.
That's a nice premise, but it does fuckall good in a world where indigenous people have few or no rights. They should have rights, but in practice they just don't. South America is slaughtering their native people wholesale to steal their land. North America and Australia did so long since, and never quite stopped trying to stamp out the last few survivors who they wish would stop pestering them about the genocides.
