Résumé du document

Spaces and exchanges are key elements of interaction between two human groups, as they hold or seek to use land.

History may be tragic but time helps wounds heal. The existence of the United States is legitimate. But Americans must bear in mind their country was built at the expense of millions of innocent Indians, and signed treaties must be respected even more. As for Latinos, the problem comes from poverty in their home countries, which must further develop and foster security. Meanwhile, they must be respected and human trafficking must be severely cracked down. [...]
