An article honoring the life of Siekopai elder and healer Don Cesáreo Piaguaje (and elder of the community we visited in the Amazon who recently passed), and detailing his lifelong dream of reconnecting his people to their ancestral lands.

A documentary stressing the importance of Indigenous Peoples to be able to remain connected to their ancestral lands, and some of the influences that are threatening their ability to do so. This is the video I referenced with the quote, "Un indio sin territorio no es indio."
