Many Indian peoples who have an intimate reliance on spiritual based principals that become the bases for there knowledge of plants and the daily life cycle fear genocide and ethnocentrism from the European oppressors.
Ciseases and the demands of European-style economic enter- prises have reduced the indigenous population to a mere three or four per cent of its original total.
Although the economic crisis continues, a rebirth of Indian organizations and the struggle for the rights of the more than one million Indians who now live in Argentina
has begun.
