Quote
The children already feel like little Peruvians. The other day I asked them, "Are you Indians?" "No", they said, "Not we, the ones up the river, they are Indians". And then I asked: "What are Indians?". They said to me "Indians are people who can't read and who don't know how to wash their clothes".
