Ruins of Inca temples and terraces on Huayna Picchu, Peru

Today is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, an observance created by the United Nations to draw attention to the distinct cultures of indigenous peoples and to support measures that protect their rights. This year’s theme is indigenous peoples’ migration and movement, highlighting questions of indigenous identity and rights, particularly as people migrate within and between countries.

Here at Huayna Picchu in Peru, we can see remnants of an indigenous Inca temple atop the mountain. When Spanish conquistadors invaded the Inca Empire in the 16th century, many of the Incans who survived the conquest were forcibly assimilated into the Spanish colonial labor system, and most aspects of Inca culture were systematically destroyed. Through a modern view, we recognize how much was lost by the conquest, not just in lives of those who died, but in the culture and knowledge that is now lost to time.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
