In November of 2020, between hurricanes Eta and Iota, Stephen Sefton interviewed Indigenous leaders and others in Nicaragua\u2019s North Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region. The interviews mainly address long standing misapprehensions and outright falsehoods about Nicaragua\u2019s Sandinista government\u2019s defense of Indigenous people\u2019s rights, an issue inseparable from defense of the natural environment. More immediately, the interviews exposed several poorly researched, inaccurate reports of the Oakland Institute, published in 2020, clearly seeking to damage Nicaragua\u2019s economy by means of misleading, sensationalist and simply false allegations of abuse of Indigenous people\u2019s rights and environmental depredation.<\/p>\n
