Students show true colors, fight for Uwa

People stereotype Americans as ethnocentric and apathetic, insensitive to issues outside of their immediate spheres. I beg to differ. On Sunday night, about 100 people found a connection between a group of 5,000 indigenous people in the cloud forests of Colombia and their own lives and culture. They took an evening out of their weekend to hear the President of the Uwa, Roberto Perez, speak about the Uwa's struggle against Occidental Petroleum, a US-owned company that wants to drill for oil on their land.
