Comment on Noise/Silence

Posted by stella On July - 24 - 2005

Stella’s contribution to Triplopia’s theme on Noise appears in the current edition of Trip Picks, “The Saddest Noise, The Sweetest Noise” edited by Tania Van Schalkywk. Stella’s choice of The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, by Haruki Murakami to illustrate Noise, and Silence, can be read at: http://www.triplopia.org/inside.cfm/ct/460

Niyamgiri Victory

David vs Goliath

A tribe in India has won a stunning victory over one of the world’s biggest mining companies. The Dongria Kondh, a tribe of 8000 people, with the help of Survival International and others, has won a victory over a multibillion company which proposed to mine bauxite on the sacred hills of the tribe. The Dongria Kondh’s struggle had a happier ending than that of the film Avatar, in which a tribe was pitted against a ruthless mining company. The Dongria Kondh’s perseverance, courage, and victory will encourage indigenous tribes everywhere.

Well done to Dongria Kondh, their supporters, and to Survival!
