I hope now the world can see what happens to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiskitu in Exile\u201d is the name Robertson has given her open forum, which takes place Friday Aug. 15 at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson, who was expelled from Nicaragua in 1957 by the Somocista dictatorship, is a lifelong activist who has championed the sovereignty of the Miskitu nation, which is located in present day Nicaraguan, reaching from Cape Camar\u00f3n in Honduras to the most southern point in Nicaragua beyond Bluefields.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are known to promote activism, that\u2019s our mission,\u201d said Andreina Maldonado, events and media coordinator at the Mission Cultural Center, pointing out that Robertson\u2019s reading will be one of a kind. \u201cShe is a very emotional speaker. I hope the community comes to support and understands the situation of this community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The book is Robertson\u2019s first work, and although Grin Olsson did the writing, Robertson compiled all the information. Olsson, a screenplay writer, said that writing the book has touched him and has opened his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The situation of the Miskitu nation had a great impact on me,\u201d Olsson said. &#8220;We want to show that there is a peaceful way to achieve independence, and that the Miskitu people have the right and sovereignty to rule over their land.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24461\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24461\" style=\"width: 538px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Miskitu_02web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24461 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Miskitu_02web.jpg?resize=538%2C480&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The last hereditary Miskitu Chief, Robert Henry Clarence (center front row) and his Executive Council in June 1894.

It wasn\u2019t until 1894, with British indifference assisted by Nicaraguan president Jos\u00e9 Santos Zelaya, that Nicaragua claimed sovereignty over the kingdom. The Miskitu nation first petitioned the United Nations for decolonization in 1960, yet nothing has changed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Miskitu kingdom has not been respected. Zelaya was one of the greatest murderers of my people. And the Sandinistas and [Daniel] Ortega committed genocide,&#8221; said Robertson, a tear rolling down her cheek as she explained that the Miskitu have historically been displaced, murdered and brutally exploited for their natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson said that the latest great threat to her people and nation is the construction of the Nicaragua Grand Canal, a mega project that the government of Nicaragua has signed with Chinese construction company HKND Group.<\/p>\n<p>According to Robertson, the project directly threatens Miskitu sovereignty: thousands of families face evacuation; about 400,000 acres of wetlands and forests will disappear; and Lake Nicaragua, the largest body of water in Central America and one of the most diverse in the world, will become polluted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re never going to support that canal,&#8221; said Robertson.<\/p>\n<p>Even from San Francisco, Robertson&#8217;s presence seems to provide hope and a voice for the 200,000 Miskitu currently residing in Nicaragua. In an email to Robertson, Miskitu Prince\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Miguel Handy spoke of his people\u2019s hardship:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of us here who live in the Miskitu nation are against the canal, and many people from the Pacific side are also against it. Academics, who study the environment, are also against that canal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That email is only one of the countless pleas for help that Robertson has received since her exile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Somocismo called me crazy for believing in my ideas,\u201d Robertson said, with a warm and hopeful smile. \u201cBut look where I am now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cMiskitu in Exile\u201d is 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 15 at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, 2868 Mission St.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been 57 years since the Rev.
