Amazon Voices: Inaugural Fundraiser for Kipatsi Indigenous Inc.
Ashéninka Mino (Ashéninka Nation) and Emilio Salvatierra (Yánesha Nation) are ambassadors of the Central Jungle region of Perú and are members of Kipatsi. Ashéninka Mino will present how the impact of invasion by outsiders on their indigenous territories causes a threat of rapid deterioration to the culture, tradition and ancestral roots.
Presentation on how these communities are creating their own initiatives and solutions to the problems faced. Katia T. Delgado (Qechua/Mestiza) will present on how the promulgated law of “previous and informed consent” towards indigenous communities which was recently approved by the Peruvian Government creates an opportunity for the recuperation of indigenous lands. There will also be a general orientation to Andean cosmovision and the resurgence of indigenous knowledge.
Emilio Salvatierra will present on the richness of Yánesha culture, language and issues of biodiversity of the Amazon region of Perú. There will be Peruvian food for sale and a raffle of an Amazon jewelry piece.
Suggested Donation: $10.00 or more goes towards supporting Indigenous projects of communities in the Peruvian Amazon. Contact Katia T. Delgado 575-613-0582, katia@kipatsi.org or Nyna Matysiak at 575-758-3219, livingearthgarden@gmail.com.
