By now, most of us may be aware of the kinds of forces that go into destroying the indigenous cultures. For those that don't, you can read Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins--an engrossing book that looks into workings of governments, private interests and misdirected religious efforts to eradicate what isn't profitable or appreciated.
At this time, we need all of our healing capacities to be active and running in the world. Even if some don't understand the larger scope of what this means (including those that perpetrated these killings), the responsibility falls to us who are aware enough to do something about it.
On an outward level, we can write the US Ambassadors, the Peruvian Ambassadors, Amnesty International and the Peruvian government to do something to restore order. Prejudicial killings destabilize a region and prevent much needed support to the families of those villages. Shamans are the cultural repositories for indigenous cultures--knowing and relating deeply to the plants and land in a way that most of us have forgotten.
Shamans hold a direct living connection to Spirit which they hold out for all people in their community and the world at large. They continue to work in their own corners of the world to enliven a world that can progressively deaden when only material goals are valued.
"Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly...this is the interrelated structure of reality." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
