Still Lying After All These Years  Glenn Morris    This bold
assertion reasonably requires some evidentiary support, which,
unfortunately, is not difficult to produce. Significant,
irrefutable evidence can be found in the thirty-year historical
record of U.S. opposition to the international rights of
indigenous peoples at the U.N. Working Group on Indigenous
Populations, at the Human Rights Commission/Council, at the
International Labor Organization, and at the Organization of
American States, including the Inter-American Commission on
Human Rights.  Although US officials suggest that Obama reversed
previous history with his announcement, in fact, just the
opposite is true. The most damning and conclusive evidence of US
rejection of the Declaration is found in the State Department’s
own December 16 document, which was released simultaneously with
Obama’s statement. The long, shameful history of US denial of
the rights of indigenous peoples has now been formally
reinforced by Obama and his State Department.  M
