USNWR is not to be believed. I love Berea but the Tarheels take that accolade. Chapel Hill that is! I like Berea's discipline and sobriety though. I think it comes second to the Tarheels. Haruna. We're lucky Kukeh is asleep or we'll hear it for Columbia, the Cambridge of the US they'd like to believe.

Yes Haruna, see you later.
 
I adore you too, and I love Kentucky, home to Berea College, the Harvard University of the Southern United States, if the US News & World Report is to be believed.

I understand JDAM. I was informed that the UN's doctrine of self-determination developed around the rights of Indigenous peoples. In my review of context, I shared the bit about indigenous people from the perspective of the UN. I am still reviewing the doctrine proper. I just wanna get Kukeh off my back about international borders and circumstance. Why are you still awake in Kentucky anyway? See you later men. Haruna.

Haruna
 
There is a  distinction, albeit a fine one, between "identity" and "self-determination".
 
The link in your mail deals with the less complicated issue of "identity", i.e., of an indigenous group whose socio-cultural system was decimated upon invasion of its territory by a newly arrived, yet dominant settler culture. As opposed to the drive for self-determination, "identity" disputes are less about secession, and more about the ability of an indigenous group to live according to the dictates of its socio-cultural system, including language. 
 
Unbelievable as it may sound, some indigenous cultures had "advanced" systems of governance and writing before being invaded by settler newcomers. A country like Canada has enshrined in law the ability of indigenous people to resuscitate pre-invasion socio-cultural systems within the larger Canadian system.
