Module 3: Indi ge nous?

http://www.indigenousportal.com/Climate-Change/Indigenous-Knowledge-and-Climate-Change-We-have-the-answers.html

Here is a YouTube video about indigeneity clashing with government policy in Africa.  The issue at hand here seems to be that because the governments in Africa are run by ethnic Africans, they view themselves as indigenous and that all Africans are the same and should be treated all the same.  This definition of Indigenous is too liberal for African people who truly are still living in the traditional methods of their ancestors.  I wish the video was longer or that there was more information on this!
