European Zeitgeist ’09

“Chief Almir’s people made official contact with the outside world only in 1969. And the distance from that moment to being here at a Google conference, talking to us about using Google Earth and about GPS technology to map sacred ancestral places, to me is absolutely incredible. And I must say, this is an environment in which you meet a lot of amazing people, but I’m absolutely in awe of a person who has managed to make that journey in their personal life, and is trying to bring his people along with him.”
