I responded to a comment you made about the Zapatistas, and I wrote the above comments as a response to your comments about the Zapatistas. In response, you've posted this thing about a community of Inuit which in no way responds to my concerns about your comments about the Zapatistas. Surely you're not making a universal claim about Native peoples, that would be really sloppy. frances
