Nobel Peace Prize[edit]

He was awarded the Order of Canada, and was nominated four times for the Nobel Peace Prize for his international work with the World Council of Indigenous Peoples.

  • Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official and not necessarily prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 160 some years. Rumored nominees have included a Brazilian psychic (nominated twice) and an unscrupulous businessmen from Ohio. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements. In most instances the reports of prize nominations seem to just be unattributed rumors. Altogether, I see no reason to keep it as is. I propose changing it to the more vague (therefore more accurate) "was recognized repeatedly for...". No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Willmcw July 7,:08 (UTC)
