my favor feedback is from youtuber win096:
Better future? Don't bet on it!

"Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples" has been adopted by 143 countries, including Russia and China, at UN on Sept 13, 2007, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were the only four countries voted against it for the excuses that they have a significant Aborigine populations. The Declaration will eliminate human rights violations, discrimination, and marginalization against indigenous populations around the world.

in the homepage of the declaration, it said:
The Declaration does not represent solely the viewpoint of the United Nations, nor does it represent solely the viewpoint of the Indigenous Peoples. It is a Declaration which combines our views and interests and which sets the framework for the future. It is a tool for peace and justice, based upon mutual recognition and mutual respect.
