A casi tres años años de haber tenido que huir de su territorio, un grupo de más de 20 familias mixtecas continúa en un albergue de la ciudad de Tlaxiaco en condiciones precarias, sin suficiente espacio para vivir, sin los servicios básicos, sin atención médica y sobre todo, sin justicia ni esperanzas de poder volver. Se trata de las familias desplazadas por la violencia en el municipio de Atatlahuca (región Ñuu Savi o Mixteca, México), que desde el 2021 sufre un fuerte conflicto por su bosque y territorio.

Under the sprawling branches of ancient trees by Lake Bogoria, Elders and young people sat together. The Elders, whose faces bore the gentle lines of time, shared stories with the young generation. Their voices, though quiet, carried the weight of many years of Indigenous wisdom and experience. “I have come to learn that there are many Elders who have a lot of stories to tell, and we have to reach them through this project,” says Rodgers Kibet (Endorois), a youth from Mochongoi.

Indigenous Peoples in Colombia represent a rich cultural and ancestral diversity that has existed in the territory of Abya Yala long before the arrival of European colonizers. The people here have inhabited these lands for millennia, preserving their traditions, languages, ancestral knowledge, and systems of social organization.
On April 4 and 5, 2024, in the Indigenous community of Ita Guasu, Amambay, Paraguay, the leaders and representatives of various communities of the Guaraní Paĩ Tavyterã People held a preparatory session for their participation at the 23rd Session of the Permanent Forum of the United Nations on Indigenous Issues, which will take place from April 15 to 26 at its headquarters in New York, United States.
