Minga leader and head of the Cauca Regional Indigenous Council Aida Quilcue gives this emotional, inspirational speech, live on national television and addressing President Uribe and his cabinet directly. Just over a month later, on 16th December 1008, Aida's husband Edwin Legarda was murdered by the Colombian army when they ambushed his car in an attack meant for Aida herself.
