Something like "Abya Yala is an anti-colonial name for the colonized continents commonly referred to as The Americas" feels more appropriate as an opening sentence.

Why the absolute fuck does The World Bank have a section in the definition for `Indigenous peoples`

@liaizon apparently the reason is because they want to attach special consideration for loans that impact indigenous peoples in regions where the UN definition can't be applied to various native groups, for political reasons. So they have their own working definition instead of ceding to local governments.
