We have this responsibility that all of this will turn out well. As for non-indigenous people, and if you want to help us, as it is for us to be able to self-represent, leaving the native speak for themselves. All of our elders, we have put in to school and we are ready to take on anything. And who are you, Osmar, or ten people at the DSEI Lakeland”.

In his speech, Osmar she expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support they received, which included not only the leadership but also the servers of the DSEI, and community-based organizations.

“There are two words I carry with me, self-determination, and strength. These are some of the words that we, as warriors, we must carry it with us, because we are all the time in the battle, build something, and that’s all that we’re going to build is not that easy. So much so that we had a reputation to take over: ‘there was a native is going to look like? Things are going to fall apart’. But, it is my hope that you will not, because of all that space that is supports”.

To continue the work, Osmar feel that your experience as a leader of his people, for the three years of his presidency, the Council of the District of the Indian Health (Considi), and its role as an adviser on its own DSEI will play a key role.

The new leader, the principal and the urgency lies in the question of transportation, although he did later that action to address this issue are underway. ‘We are evaluating all existing agreements, and we will make the necessary arrangements. In addition to this, there are several outstanding works, and we can read about the inadequacy of the health care facilities for the work of our team. We need to take action to ensure that those professionals have a workplace that is appropriate,’ he said.

He believes in the union, and the support of ten people to promote your work, and takes on the mission of paving a path an inspiration for the future of the health of indigenous peoples in the region.
