Estimates run from 40 - 60 million indigenous people from Caribbean and Latin America. But it's probably much more. I was thinking about this a couple of days ago while sitting in a waiting room at Harborview in Seattle. A couple of people walked by, speaking Spanish and one of them had a classic Mayan look. So nice to see. There should be no borders for indigenous people.
