TURTLE ISLAND Native Americans have been subjected to centuries of ethnic cleansing and genocide and their struggle against loss of land and heritage continues today throughout the North American continent. AFRICA Millions of Africans were enslaved by colonialists who conquered their homelands and stripped their natural resources, and the legacy of interference and exploitation continues today. PHILIPPINES In a country steeped in the legacy of Spanish, American and Japanese colonialism, indigenous Filipinos are courageously struggling to protect their land, their human rights and their lives. PALESTINE Settler colonialists have seized more and more of historic Palestine since the early 20th century; today they control the lives of millions of Palestinians under brutal apartheid regime.
