My name is Sandra Barrientos Callamullo

0:02:23.120,0:02:27.331
my father, my mother, they are from Potosí, south of Bolivia

0:02:27.331,0:02:30.304
precisely from a place called Chaquí

0:02:30.942,0:02:33.972
i belong to the Quechua-Aymara culture

0:02:35.411,0:02:39.622
i'm the oldest sister of 3, we are 3 sisters

0:02:40.537,0:02:43.480
we were born here in Argentina

0:02:43.480,0:02:47.382
we are te first generation born here in Argentina

0:02:51.203,0:02:57.462
My parents came as many people who emigrates to the big cities

0:02:57.478,0:03:02.778
looking for that "progress" they were educated with

0:03:02.778,0:03:06.250
in the place they came from

0:03:06.481,0:03:11.712
Both my sisters and I lived the first period of our childhood in Villas (poor villages)

0:03:12.331,0:03:17.023
nothing, this is unbelievable...

0:03:17.565,0:03:21.527
And these things that parents do in order to protect us

0:03:21.527,0:03:27.351
that was part part of our history that did not tell us, that we lived there for a while

0:03:28.741,0:03:32.738
among other things they have done to protect us, such as...

0:03:36.592,0:03:39.569
not transmit the language

0:03:40.569,0:03:44.097
not teach us to speak Qechua

0:03:44.097,0:03:49.035
that's what my parents and my grandparents always spoke

0:04:01.977,0:04:04.283
I understand them now

0:04:04.283,0:04:07.580
that at that time they...

0:04:07.580,0:04:11.714
they tough that if they don't teach us the language, the accent was not going to stick to us

0:04:11.714,0:04:14.190
and the people were not going to treat us badly

0:04:14.190,0:04:16.922
but it was an appearance matter

0:04:18.248,0:04:22.487
the insults, the bad ways... it was really clear

0:04:24.067,0:04:26.482
not need for them to hear you talk

0:04:26.482,0:04:29.439
they look at you, and already they treat you bad

0:04:29.439,0:04:32.178
This one is from Potosí, this is my grandmother's house

0:04:32.178,0:04:34.346
already in Potosi city

0:04:34.346,0:04:36.160
not in the countrie side

0:04:36.160,0:04:38.546
this is my grandfather, this one my grandmother

0:04:40.446,0:04:42.673
You know how she was up and down with that 'aguayo'?

0:04:42.673,0:04:45.280
she would come and go just like that

0:04:46.869,0:04:49.846
Look at Ren, when he was little

0:04:51.157,0:04:53.495
here my sister, me, Diego

0:04:53.495,0:04:59.718
As a result of being in Bolivia and the north, meeting with people,

0:04:59.718,0:05:02.570
and the people's behave that... don't have no comparison

0:05:02.570,0:05:07.211
it was a different look and different treatment from the people here

0:05:08.200,0:05:12.302
so you relate with the people in other ways

0:05:12.302,0:05:14.361
and you find yourself in another way

0:05:14.361,0:05:16.899
and you say... wow! i never lived this!

0:05:16.899,0:05:20.661
or maybe i did with mom, dad, the uncles and no one else

0:05:20.661,0:05:25.074
but not in the streets, in the daily life

0:05:25.074,0:05:27.629
that was different

0:05:28.612,0:05:32.504
in that moment something happend, i start to realize

0:05:32.504,0:05:35.400
what i lived when i was child

0:05:35.646,0:05:39.160
and how you grow up approving situations that are not good

0:05:39.160,0:05:45.738
you go naturalizing and normalizing violent living codes

0:05:47.225,0:05:50.940
so this reinforced also the fact of...

0:05:51.853,0:05:56.095
of assuming the identity from another point of view

0:05:56.095,0:05:59.579
start to... love yourself a little bit more

0:05:59.579,0:06:01.501
that's the way

0:06:01.501,0:06:04.963
and at the same time go healing wounds as well

0:06:09.856,0:06:13.357
This is the planisphere with the real proportions

0:06:13.357,0:06:19.610
At that time it was like starting to... little by little... to see the way

0:06:21.546,0:06:25.707
is like the first stage of the process of...

0:06:27.566,0:06:29.873
i don't know how to say it...

0:06:29.873,0:06:32.458
identification, self-identification...

0:06:33.927,0:06:35.880
[car pass by]

0:06:38.264,0:06:41.437
but there was that stage

0:06:41.437,0:06:43.960
and then the other things comes

0:06:43.960,0:06:45.966
it's like the strenghtening stage

0:06:45.966,0:06:49.348
firts it's to know... start to know

0:06:49.348,0:06:55.908
and then from being doing the activities feel part of it

0:07:11.729,0:07:15.429
What will cost them to get out and speak with us?

0:08:02.162,0:08:05.058
I'm Valentin Palma Callamullo, from La Matanza

0:08:05.785,0:08:07.828
i'm a Quechua descendent

0:08:07.828,0:08:11.357
Buenos Aires is seen as the Paris of the south, the Paris from Latin America

0:08:11.357,0:08:15.559
a place without history, where spanish people came to do nothing

0:08:15.559,0:08:17.859
a couple of persons that resisted and that's it

0:08:17.859,0:08:20.940
and they was... according to the official story they was exterminated

0:08:22.875,0:08:25.800
growing up here, it's a little bit difficult

0:08:25.800,0:08:29.720
the society maybe in some cases

0:08:29.720,0:08:33.649
a bit discriminatory, maybe a bit xenophobic

0:08:33.649,0:08:35.692
and they make you feel different

0:08:35.692,0:08:38.720
and when you are a child, a teenager, you are more vulnerable

0:08:38.720,0:08:41.809
and you try to hide it, to hide some things because

0:08:43.762,0:08:45.812
they point at you or they say

0:08:45.812,0:08:49.717
"bolita", "paraguayan", "chilote" stuff like that

0:08:49.717,0:08:51.977
or "shitty black"

0:09:02.971,0:09:05.762
If I speak with my grandparents in Quechua

0:09:05.762,0:09:08.320
or I say to them that I want to learn

0:09:08.320,0:09:11.702
they would laugh, they tought I was jocking with them

0:09:13.178,0:09:15.400
maybe it is naturalized that you don´t have to

0:09:15.400,0:09:19.471
some things, maybe for the oldest

0:09:20.800,0:09:22.732
there is no need

0:09:23.200,0:09:25.963
maybe them already have that, they are peasants not indigenous

0:09:29.000,0:09:31.582
they don't recognized themselves

0:09:34.040,0:09:38.080
the interesting for me is, that in my family they can start to feel proud

0:09:38.080,0:09:41.000
of being indigenous descendent, of being indigenous

0:09:41.000,0:09:45.040
as in society is also difficult sometimes, a slow process

0:09:45.040,0:09:47.640
in the family as well

0:09:47.640,0:09:51.871
maybe to be crossed by the catholicism

0:09:52.840,0:09:55.480
because after all, we are all crossed

0:09:55.480,0:09:59.000
by five centuries of a western subjectivity, individualism

0:09:59.000,0:10:03.397
that prevailed here, or that tries to prevail

0:10:05.160,0:10:08.698
so, we all have contradictions

0:10:09.800,0:10:15.182
but the good thing is to identify them and slowly begin to recover the other thing

0:10:16.920,0:10:18.948
the most important thing

0:10:46.132,0:10:49.751
(police's sirens)

0:10:54.362,0:10:56.458
I came here to do my job

0:10:58.040,0:11:00.458
they warn me, there is a call from

0:11:01.708,0:11:04.927
to defend our rights to do an indigenous ceremony here

0:11:04.927,0:11:07.434
where there are remains of our ancestors

0:11:07.434,0:11:09.756
like there are remains below that private neighborhood that were buried under that private neighborhood

0:11:09.756,0:11:11.680
we do not make any complaint to them

0:11:11.680,0:11:14.168
because we know what is the law in this country

0:11:14.168,0:11:15.840
that is a kind of law that protects the private property

0:11:15.840,0:11:19.369
not the rights of the people who lived here before these laws came

0:11:19.369,0:11:21.874
before the ones you work with

0:11:22.918,0:11:26.674
let's get into legal issues, do you want to come with me?

0:11:27.372,0:11:31.615
come on, here is a public road that reaches the other side

(radio) "that has decided to start writing themselves, forever, their own history"

0:12:21.903,0:12:26.200
I was born in Buenos Aires but I didn't lived my childhood there

0:12:26.200,0:12:29.122
when I was 3 months old, I was already traveling to Misiones

0:12:29.122,0:12:32.234
I always say as a joke, at 3 months old I was a political exile

0:12:32.234,0:12:34.271
my entire childhoos was in the mount

0:12:34.271,0:12:38.457
so, there is a conexion with the mount, with the energy that the jungle has

0:12:39.411,0:12:41.072
I grew up with that

0:12:41.611,0:12:45.372
and then, always connected to the rock

0:12:45.372,0:12:49.068
all my teenage years were very connected with this kind of music

0:12:49.068,0:12:52.969
with friends who always were in rock and metal scene

0:12:54.307,0:12:59.981
when I was 20 years old, because family issues, I came by myself to live in Buenos Aires

0:13:00.996,0:13:03.885
it was a quite strong change, because the city where I used to lived

0:13:03.885,0:13:05.943
called "El Dorado"

0:13:05.943,0:13:08.110
was a very humble neighborhood, really small

0:13:08.110,0:13:10.804
in comparasion of living in a big metropolis such as Buenos Aires

0:13:10.804,0:13:13.006
it was shocking

0:13:14.809,0:13:17.647
after a while, living in Buenos Aires

0:13:17.647,0:13:20.588
I started to research about native peoples

0:13:20.588,0:13:24.548
but it was just a matter of interest

0:13:24.548,0:13:28.390
I wanted to know what they thought, I even spoke in past tense

0:13:28.390,0:13:31.148
what they believed, what they had in mind

0:13:31.786,0:13:34.196
and when I was finding out a little more

0:13:34.196,0:13:37.087
I realize that there were some things of native peoples

0:13:37.718,0:13:40.324
that were not wrote in the books

0:13:40.324,0:13:43.684
and even the people would tell you about native peoples and there were missing things

0:13:43.715,0:13:48.140
so, because I always traveled to Misiones

0:13:48.140,0:13:50.800
at least, two or three times a year I do

0:13:50.800,0:13:52.940
because a spiritual need, I could say

0:13:52.940,0:13:55.663
I need to intern myself a while in the mount

0:13:55.663,0:14:00.261
I found out that what I have to do is go and get into an indigenous community

0:14:00.261,0:14:02.640
so, I took my bag and went

0:14:02.640,0:14:04.812
I got into the community, I introduce myself

0:14:04.980,0:14:06.698
I was welcome

0:14:06.698,0:14:09.742
a community called Yeyé, wich in spanish means Palmitos

0:14:09.762,0:14:13.053
obviously my head made a terrible turn because

0:14:13.053,0:14:16.641
I found that there was lots more about this matter

0:14:16.641,0:14:18.407
- and because is you -

0:14:21.638,0:14:26.293
I think I was more interested in activism, see more about this peoples

0:14:26.293,0:14:28.941
I wanted to get involved more in this subject

0:14:28.941,0:14:31.903
and I start to take part, to connect with the people that was

0:14:31.903,0:14:35.239
in the most political part, if you want to say it

0:14:35.239,0:14:40.705
or more specific claims as the land issue, the security issue

0:14:40.705,0:14:44.454
health issues, this a bit more... serious

0:14:44.454,0:14:48.374
I think we should also have a spiritual independence

0:14:48.374,0:14:53.578
become independent of the spiritual terrorism that the catholic system has being doing along all this years

0:14:53.578,0:14:56.771
what they are doing, I would called it spiritual terrorism

0:14:57.356,0:15:03.514
And at the time, my mother asked me, what I was doing with the indigenous matters

0:15:03.514,0:15:07.433
Because I knew she had her bad... her experience from what the 76's dictatorship was

0:15:07.433,0:15:10.982
I didn't want to tell her a lot, not to scare

0:15:10.982,0:15:15.617
and I told her: look, most of them, are cultural activities

0:15:15.617,0:15:17.791
we talk about indigenous customs

0:15:17.791,0:15:22.720
And she said to me: I asked you, because the parents of your grandmother were indigenous

0:15:22.720,0:15:27.771
And I say to her: are you telling me that part of my blood is indigenous?

0:15:27.771,0:15:33.062
and she said: yes, your grandmother and her parents were indigenous, from Guaranies

0:15:33.062,0:15:38.070
So... i was someone searching something that already had

0:15:38.070,0:15:45.667
seems crazy to tell it this way, but I was looking for little pieces, putting together something that was already made

0:15:47.098,0:15:52.385
I'm Argentinian, born here in Argentina, but my mother and father are Bolivian.

0:15:52.385,0:15:58.091
I'm Pedro, Pedro, just Pedro, another one in this world

0:15:59.229,0:16:04.267
Something happend to me that unfortunately happens to everybody in the life,

0:16:04.267,0:16:06.765
my mother gone, died.

0:16:06.765,0:16:13.895
Being walking and remembering I had a very deep and personal question:

0:16:13.895,0:16:20.046
How do I continued the relationship between my mother and I after that?

0:16:22.061,0:16:27.947
Amazingly in the middle of the hills I was walking around and kicking stones

0:16:27.947,0:16:32.752
I think I gave myself the best answer to my own question

0:16:32.752,0:16:36.735
why not do what she always did?

0:16:36.735,0:16:43.036
Why not to continue with the things she did... in the way she walked?

0:16:43.036,0:16:49.170
and then I remembered that she had never left, since I have memory,

0:16:49.170,0:16:52.105
to make her ceremony to Mother Earth.

0:16:53.521,0:16:56.787
So instead of closing my door because I was a little more alone,

0:16:56.787,0:17:01.356
I opened my door and there began to come kids from the neighborhood

0:17:01.356,0:17:09.692
I started to try to be useful to the community with a small place to give food to the poors in the weekend

0:17:11.539,0:17:17.644
and I was thinking how I would continue the way of my mother about their culture

0:17:17.644,0:17:20.551
and their traditions and their cosmovision...

0:17:20.551,0:17:26.277
And in that time i told to the kids that were coming there:

0:17:26.277,0:17:33.422
look, is about 1 August and I wanted to do a ceremony for Mother Earth

0:17:34.129,0:17:38.404
and logical kids when they are young, they have no prejudice

0:17:38.404,0:17:41.450
They said, what is it?. I tell them we will make a meal,

0:17:41.450,0:17:45.385
we will share with each otjer and we will make an offering to Mother Earth

0:17:45.477,0:17:48.079
and the kids said: yeah, yeah let's do, let's do

0:17:48.079,0:17:53.174
and this was the begging of my cultural roots rescue's story

0:18:11.115,0:18:14.877
This library began more or less in the early 90's.

0:18:14.877,0:18:21.236
At first it was on that corner, a pile of books and magazines with papers

0:18:21.236,0:18:26.312
and a group of guys with who we started doing crafts,

0:18:26.312,0:18:30.758
I wasn't a craftsman either, I didn't know, but trying to entertain them

0:18:30.758,0:18:34.774
and give them something they could use and that they could be helpful with,

0:18:34.774,0:18:40.217
I started to learn, and that makes us appreciate all that surrounds us

0:18:40.217,0:18:44.194
and that's what today I would say from the small library

0:18:44.286,0:18:49.051
that yes, in part I humbly think, I'm succeeding, to convey that,

0:18:49.051,0:18:51.947
to show the world view of indigenous peoples.

0:18:56.322,0:18:58.132
Teach this, show this

0:18:58.132,0:19:03.179
to the kids, starts to encourage them to realize and respect the culture of the fathers and mothers,

0:19:03.179,0:19:05.530
but sometimes older people comes too

0:19:05.530,0:19:09.800
and talking about this, perhaps is a way I might...

0:19:09.800,0:19:13.787
or I tell them how myself now, older, I start to realize this,

0:19:13.787,0:19:19.869
and they begin to think back, to remember their parents, their grandparents

0:19:19.869,0:19:22.354
and they start to recover their identity.

0:19:41.892,0:19:43.284
One day, at the University of

0:19:43.923,0:19:47.137
I studied at the University of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo

0:19:47.137,0:19:49.926
and one day a colleague told me about this and the following Saturday we came

0:19:49.926,0:19:54.605
That was almost a year ago, in March 2010

0:19:54.605,0:19:58.219
and then I came and well ... and I could not go

0:19:58.219,0:20:05.070
I began to be here a couple of days until I left everything there and I came to live here

0:20:07.116,0:20:10.287
The oldest do not understand yet.

0:20:10.287,0:20:14.379
is contradictory because they keep traditions of indigenous culture,

0:20:14.379,0:20:21.401
even though this pierced by Catholicism, retain several things that

0:20:21.401,0:20:28.493
perhaps unknowingly ... and being the closest to that

0:20:28.493,0:20:31.519
and like that, maybe they do not understand sometimes

0:20:31.519,0:20:35.597
the younger, cousins or uncles they do realize

0:20:35.597,0:20:38.146
because the place is very strong,

0:20:38.146,0:20:43.778
I mean, not only the nature or being facing to something so disgusting like these

0:20:43.778,0:20:47.701
is mostly connected with the history of the place,

0:20:47.701,0:20:55.011
and without being esoteric mysticism or anything, it feels,

0:20:55.011,0:20:57.379
There is an energy in the place

0:21:04.027,0:21:07.498
We try to take only what is on the surface

0:21:07.498,0:21:10.096
what is kind of burried we don´t take it out

0:21:10.096,0:21:13.218
but the reality is that after the water comes and takes it all.

0:21:13.218,0:21:17.692
When this gets lower you can walk around

0:21:17.692,0:21:19.817
Here I am seeing a lot more of pieces

0:21:27.632,0:21:31.020
There are plenty. See beneath the landfill

0:21:31.020,0:21:34.183
Yes, some people calls me Pablo, the indian

0:21:34.183,0:21:39.690
About ten years now that I am participate in an alternative media, Indymedia

0:21:39.690,0:21:43.124
working with news of native people.

0:21:47.586,0:21:52.246
What we are asking is that this part of the lands that were sold

0:21:52.246,0:21:55.998
make a reversal of entrepreneurship of the private neighborhood

0:21:55.998,0:22:00.337
to remain as a public space which claims to indigenous peoples,

0:22:00.337,0:22:03.494
to protect archaeological remains that are in this place,

0:22:03.494,0:22:09.173
remaining open place to use as it has been used for decades

0:22:09.173,0:22:12.859
This will mean to make the first claim to the indigenous peoples of Buenos Aires

0:22:12.859,0:22:15.509
rigjt outside of the Capital.

0:22:16.663,0:22:20.677
We are trying to make is that, by retrieving this place, it begins to speak,

0:22:20.677,0:22:23.422
serve as a trigger to think Buenos Aires in other ways

0:22:23.422,0:22:28.118
to raise awareness throug all the population living in Buenos Aires

0:22:28.118,0:22:33.622
that the history of this place is not what we have been taught since childhood.

0:22:33.622,0:22:37.805
Where is Pablich? ... Pablich ...

0:22:38.928,0:22:47.040
New shirt, new shoes, hairstyle, tie, trousers, they have everything

0:22:47.040,0:22:52.882
They arrived when the machines began to build that

0:22:52.882,0:22:55.504
and after, the peole came

0:22:57.612,0:23:01.351
the people who speaks english and live inside

0:23:01.499,0:23:05.368
They are yankees priest from Arizona.

0:23:05.368,0:23:10.564
I think is a paradox how the come

0:23:10.564,0:23:14.648
500 years ago they came with the cross and the sword from Spain

0:23:14.648,0:23:21.016
and today, the come with the bulldozers and the cross from United States

0:23:21.016,0:23:22.934
in versions of those places

0:23:25.088,0:23:27.676
Is the same history, like a spanish poet said

0:23:27.676,0:23:30.299
"Some people read ten centuries of history and closes the book because it is always the same"

0:23:30.299,0:23:36.384
but the good thing is that in this story there is always another story, which is not told,

0:23:36.384,0:23:39.505
the voice of the vanquished, supposedly

0:23:39.505,0:23:42.813
that slowly is beginning to be heard

0:23:42.813,0:23:45.111
and to be visible

0:23:53.522,0:23:58.668
[singing] The days are passing, the nights are going

0:24:04.553,0:24:10.472
[singing] The days are passing, the nights are going

0:24:10.472,0:24:16.170
[singing] my youth fading like flowers of the field

0:24:16.170,0:24:21.842
[singing] Oh, I am so sad, I feel like crying

0:24:21.842,0:24:27.769
[singing] remembering those moments that we were very happy

0:24:27.769,0:24:33.847
[singing] Oh, I am so sad, I feel like crying

0:24:33.847,0:24:39.479
[singing] remembering those moments that we were very happy

0:24:39.479,0:24:43.873
[singing] they say, say, say that you want me

0:24:43.873,0:24:48.171
[singing] they say, say, say that you love me

0:24:48.171,0:24:52.409
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t kiss me?

0:24:52.409,0:24:56.631
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t hug me?

0:24:56.631,0:25:00.903
[singing] they say, say, say that you want me

0:25:00.903,0:25:05.101
[singing] they say, say, say that you love me

0:25:05.101,0:25:09.056
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t kiss me?

0:25:09.056,0:25:13.421
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t hug me?

0:25:21.615,0:25:24.852
I listened to folk music

0:25:24.852,0:25:28.762
and after that I started to listen and play Sikus

0:25:28.762,0:25:30.568
traditional music (from the Andes)

0:25:30.568,0:25:33.875
and in this moment I realized

0:25:33.875,0:25:37.321
the function, the funcionality of the music

0:25:37.321,0:25:39.579
the reason of the music

0:25:39.579,0:25:42.985
of the origin of the music in the different cultures

0:25:42.985,0:25:44.655
[Sing in Quechua] Lloqo lloqo qollunxa

0:25:44.655,0:25:47.010
[Sing in Quechua] waki wawa llupt'añan

0:25:47.010,0:25:49.799
[Sing in Quechua] Lloqo lloqo qollunxa

0:25:49.799,0:25:51.955
[Sing in Quechua] waki wawa llupt'añan

0:25:51.955,0:25:55.194
[Sing in Quechua] ukataki atipxayasipxasma

0:25:55.194,0:25:59.041
[Sing in Quechua] ukataki atipxayasipxasma

0:25:59.041,0:26:02.425
This is the important thing, the interrelation between people

0:26:02.425,0:26:06.295
the interrelation between the differents voices of the instrument

0:26:06.295,0:26:08.733
and singing in group

0:26:08.733,0:26:12.750
this is... what also

0:26:12.750,0:26:16.589
when you start to do it, to share it, to experience it

0:26:16.589,0:26:17.574
you feel it

0:26:17.574,0:26:19.966
one thing is to play alone

0:26:19.966,0:26:21.127
triying to cover one song

0:26:21.127,0:26:22.742
and another different thing it's to play all togheter

0:26:28.025,0:26:30.734
I listen to Heavy Metal since I have 12 years

0:26:30.734,0:26:33.266
is a music that accompanied me throughout adolescence

0:26:33.266,0:26:36.290
throughout this period of rebellion...

0:26:36.290,0:26:38.904
¿how do you say?

0:26:38.904,0:26:40.020
of craziness

0:26:40.020,0:26:41.799
always accompanied with the Heavy Metal

0:26:41.799,0:26:45.116
and when i was a boy I said: when I grow up I'm going to have a band

0:26:45.116,0:26:49.168
[music] I miss the rock, in the blood

0:26:49.168,0:26:52.756
[music] I miss the rock, in the blood

0:26:52.756,0:26:56.449
[music] I miss the rock, in the blood

0:26:57.818,0:26:59.361
When I started with the indigenous militancy

0:26:59.361,0:27:01.674
i continue with my...

0:27:02.844,0:27:04.926
listen to the same music

0:27:04.926,0:27:07.104
then something appears in my life way

0:27:07.104,0:27:13.024
I'm going to be a militant indigenous that renounced to his musical preferences

0:27:13.024,0:27:16.561
or I'm going to be a heavy metal that renounced to his roots

0:27:16.561,0:27:18.227
I had this dilemma

0:27:18.227,0:27:20.568
then i said: no, why I can't do not both?

0:27:20.568,0:27:22.689
and I proposed the idea

0:27:22.689,0:27:25.223
I want to make a band like this, going to have a lot from indigenous peoples

0:27:25.223,0:27:27.484
going to be a lot of words from the indigenous peoples

0:27:27.484,0:27:29.684
lot of message from the indigenous people

0:27:29.684,0:27:31.571
and well ... Charlie looked at me as he is saying to say: What!?

0:27:31.571,0:27:33.186
¡¿What you want to do?!

0:27:33.186,0:27:36.543
and I proposed the name

0:27:36.543,0:27:39.482
[singing] Good night

0:27:39.482,0:27:41.045
[singing] this is

0:27:41.045,0:27:44.844
[singing] XON-DA-RO

0:27:49.249,0:27:53.985
Xondaros was, or still are, the protectors of the communities

0:27:53.985,0:27:57.370
they are communities physical and spiritual protectors

0:27:59.170,0:28:02.524
[singing] They can not defeat me

0:28:04.979,0:28:07.676
Obviously we did not invent anything

0:28:07.676,0:28:10.782
There are many bands that take indigenous issues in his lyrics

0:28:10.782,0:28:12.821
maybe the change we do is:

0:28:12.821,0:28:17.083
the present and the future of the indigenous message

0:28:17.083,0:28:19.110
My thing is heavy metal

0:28:19.110,0:28:20.932
is what I like to do

0:28:23.347,0:28:25.775
everyone, every person

0:28:25.775,0:28:26.715
in his own place

0:28:26.715,0:28:29.348
have to do his own fight

0:28:29.348,0:28:33.088
some with music, another with writing, another through journalism

0:28:33.088,0:28:35.041
in the schools

0:28:35.041,0:28:38.863
everyone has to let out the fight that we have inside

0:28:38.863,0:28:40.562
from that place

0:28:40.562,0:28:43.481
So we can say that from there we go shooting

0:28:43.481,0:28:45.389
is our strength

0:28:53.272,0:28:55.904
- She, the weaver

0:28:55.904,0:29:00.392
- wakes up when is still night

0:29:00.392,0:29:03.596
- like if she's listening the sound of the day

0:29:03.596,0:29:08.877
- then, picks up a clear strand and passes it

0:29:08.877,0:29:11.157
- between this threads

0:29:11.157,0:29:15.737
- Quickly the first line of light on the horizon is draw

0:31:19.152,0:31:22.505
In Punta Querandí began to spread the rumor that it was

0:31:22.505,0:31:25.760
an indigenous cemetery that was to be destroyed by a private neighborhood

0:31:25.760,0:31:29.656
from that point, seeing that the authorities that had to protect this place

0:31:29.656,0:31:31.357
didn't do it

0:31:31.357,0:31:33.737
Starts an organization called

0:31:33.737,0:31:36.022
Movimiento en Defensa de la Pacha

0:31:36.022,0:31:39.204
composed by indigenous, environmentalists, journalists, neighbors...

0:31:39.204,0:31:43.062
a confluence of very important parts

0:31:50.328,0:31:52.198
I was learning in this way

0:31:52.198,0:31:54.454
that everything around me

0:31:54.454,0:31:56.434
everything with which I fed

0:31:56.434,0:31:58.287
everything with which I heal

0:31:58.287,0:32:02.431
even with the clothes I usually wear

0:32:02.431,0:32:04.696
was coming from the earth

0:32:04.696,0:32:07.571
when we have the concept is easy to understand

0:32:07.571,0:32:09.769
that we are children of the Pacha (Pachamama)

0:32:09.769,0:32:12.346
and we are all brothers

0:32:13.515,0:32:16.133
For me what unites

0:32:16.133,0:32:18.019
the cultures in the wolrd

0:32:18.019,0:32:24.249
is the feeling of love for the earth

0:32:24.249,0:32:29.230
the respect to the space where we are

0:32:38.584,0:32:40.768
Ancestral peoples are now returning

0:32:40.768,0:32:42.297
to their territory

0:32:42.297,0:32:44.687
they not die, they are, they are still here

0:32:44.687,0:32:46.726
they are pushing us

0:32:49.034,0:32:53.368
Our Grandparents have been watching the movements of the universe

0:32:53.368,0:32:56.611
they have seen cycles of five centuries

0:32:56.611,0:32:59.292
now it's begining a movement ...

0:32:59.292,0:33:01.047
in a global level

0:33:01.047,0:33:05.884
that is making that the knowledge of the ancient cultures are gaining more space

0:33:07.053,0:33:10.088
Pacha Kuti happens every 500 years

0:33:10.088,0:33:14.995
Pacha means cosmos, universe, mother earth

0:33:14.995,0:33:19.565
Kuti means to return, go back, change ...

0:33:20.657,0:33:23.055
I am very happy with what is happening in South America

0:33:23.055,0:33:27.339
I like that my generation, and people a little older than me,

0:33:27.339,0:33:29.517
we are preparing this way

0:33:29.517,0:33:31.410
very hard times are coming, very nasty times

0:33:31.410,0:33:34.325
but also some very strong times at some level...

0:33:34.325,0:33:35.860
at a earth level we can say

0:33:35.860,0:33:38.774
at Abya Yala level, the new world

0:33:38.774,0:33:41.787
It's like we are looking inside for this equilibrium

0:33:41.787,0:33:44.422
also for the outside does not?

0:33:44.422,0:33:47.725
Indigenous people always speak of cyclic life

0:33:47.725,0:33:49.283
always cyclic life

0:33:49.283,0:33:50.588
begins and ends, begins and ends

0:33:50.588,0:33:52.048
Circular life

0:33:52.048,0:33:54.043
And we go back to that point again

0:33:54.043,0:33:56.571
going through the best of times, apparent

0:33:56.571,0:33:58.839
and returning to that situation

0:33:58.839,0:34:04.609
in which we will recover our natural living

0:34:04.609,0:34:07.279
between man and nature

0:34:07.279,0:34:10.014
and equilibrium in all concepts

dynamic, electrodynamic, cultural, life ...

0:34:14.011,0:34:16.891
We know we are planting a seed here

0:34:16.891,0:34:19.116
I'm positive that there is no turning back

0:34:19.116,0:34:21.339
will be another balance of power

0:34:21.339,0:34:24.513
You see that there are more and more people

0:34:24.513,0:34:27.244
working for equilibrium

0:34:27.244,0:34:30.141
It's a phenomenon, there is a revaluation

0:34:30.141,0:34:32.020
and I bet to this revaluation

0:34:32.020,0:34:34.205
we can create a more conscious society

0:34:34.205,0:34:36.160
we can

0:34:36.160,0:34:39.437
We began to start giving more value

0:34:39.437,0:34:42.602
to a corn than to a gold ring

0:34:42.602,0:34:45.924
overturning that value, that economic system

0:34:45.924,0:34:48.113
of value, money and gold

0:34:48.113,0:34:53.256
Big part of that essence is still inside of many people

0:34:53.256,0:34:56.409
it's inside the persons

0:34:56.409,0:34:58.282
is just to assume the responsability

0:34:58.282,0:35:02.156
return to a relationship with nature

0:35:02.156,0:35:06.080
And that love for the earth, to the universe

0:35:06.080,0:35:11.056
is the love to yourself, and to everything

0:35:11.056,0:35:13.701
We are all in that way

0:35:13.701,0:35:16.526
there is some people, that still fail to realize

0:35:16.526,0:35:20.449
but someday, with consciousness, as they said the grandparents

0:35:20.449,0:35:22.069
or by pain

0:35:22.069,0:35:23.994
they will begin to realize
