That the indigenous people in more than one continent still
are being systematically and purposely exterminated is not a secret.
It is less known, however, that prisons are being overpopulated with people who
continue to resist against the land theft and the alienation, and against the
desecration of their traditional culture.
From North pole to South pole, and around the equator, wrecking powers are leaving
behind a trail of destruction. Rivers, forests, fields and grasslands are only
a secondary consideration and not in the first place prime necessaries - lodges
and food-supplies - for the human kind.
Stolen mineral resources are transformed by powerful holdings into immeasurable
wealth which is only benefiting a handful of individuals. The looted earth sees
herself and her defenceless children starve and bleed tot death.
Iris Van de Casteele and Herwig Van Holsbeeck have tried to describe and to depict
the suffering, the resistance and the chances of survival of one of those peoples
- the so-called Indians - in the relevant art-book "Bitter Honey". All those who
respect the law of nature will find their way in it.
