6 JULY 2016 – Indigenous Peoples
Indigenous:
Speaking for indigenous peoples, I ask that our ways of life may be respected, our rights and our traditions.
Will you listen to me?
Pope Francis:
I want to be a spokesman for the deepest longings of indigenous peoples.
And I want you to add your voice to mine in a heartfelt prayer that all will respect indigenous peoples, threatened in their identity and even in their existence.
