Hello dear viewers, this is the time of the interview and I represent our guest : Valentin andreytsev, Chairman of the Union of indigenous peoples of Primorsky Krai.

-V. A - Hello , Olga Nikolaevna.

-Oh. You came back from new York, you know, once I told the guys, my friends about Valentina Andreytsev, whom I met at the festival "Big Fish". He's in new York now. They began to ask, how can we go to new York to our people, what can be achieved there? Maybe I need to call for a visit here in Moscow faster problems are solved. And in Vladivostok even faster.

- VA You know, I would like to thank the Association of indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation, which provided an opportunity to participate in the 18th UN session on indigenous issues. This is a very rich experience in terms of public work. New acquaintances and new connections. It would seem, why go there and what to discuss? In fact, a lot of problematic situations. For example, if we compare it with other countries, we are doing a lot of work on indigenous peoples.

-Oh. Many people have the impression that the northerners are called small and indigenous peoples. In the photos I did not notice the Indian people, I can not there looked? Who was there and what people have problems.

-VA There were delegations from different countries: Guatemala, Canada, Australia, Russia, Ukraine, African countries.

-Oh. What problems do African countries have?

-VA Yes, not only the problems of these countries, but for example the countries where the Indians live, a lot of problems. As well as in our country at small peoples.
