The right to exist as Indigenous people and be legally recognised by the state and by the international community. The right to our culture, to speak and be educated in our own language. State protection, especially for those in vulnerable situations. Lower salaries for congresspeople, ministers and local and national state functionaries to address the struggle against poverty. No privatisation of our resources such as water and electricity."
