The reason I ask this is that I know this is a United Nations document. Throughout the world, there are a lot of people of mixed descent. For example, in Mexico the majority of the people are mestizo, which is a combination of indigenous and white descent. My wife is Filipina. In the Philippines they have their indigenous groups too. They're often intermixed with the other local populations.
In developing UNDRIP, I would have thought that the various countries around the world would consider where people of mixed descent lie with respect to UNDRIP. I don't know if you were part of the development of UNDRIP at the United Nations, but I was wondering what the discussion was at the United Nations about people of mixed descent and where they fell in that. I know that a number of other countries throughout the world have enacted some kind of legislation giving legal power to UNDRIP in those jurisdictions.
What has been the interpretation in those jurisdictions as to people of mixed descent? I throw that open to any of you out there.
