An Indigenous woman from the Inga community in the Condagua reservation in Putumayo, Colombia, is leading the struggle against a Canadian mining company that plans to mine the community’s sacred mountains for copper and molybdenum.
Within Soraida Chindoy’s territory is the Doña Juana-Chimayoy páramo, where eight rivers have their source and where there are 56 lagoons. The site, where the Amazon rainforest and the Andes meet, is sacred to the Indigenous population.
Her campaign against mining was borne of tragedy. In 2017, she and her family were among the almost 22,000 people affected by the landslide in Mocoa, when Mother Earth provided a stark warning as to why it is so important to take care of her.

At night
while he slept
I planted stars
in the ground
that-
they might
grow up to become
galaxies
and spell out
my own revolving love letter

The illusory paradise that represented a total denial of earthly life is no longer projected into the heavens, it is embedded in earthly life itself.

Very slowly tinkering on my Stoned Ape hypothesis homage (While I work on multiple others things xD). The origin of us, our language, art and culture through deep time gives me Big Feelings 💚
Also highly recommend this book🖤 I cried when the first docu about Homo Naledi came out years ago and so much more has been discovered since 🥹
