The Wampanoag Peoples have lived in the region of what is now southeastern Massachusetts for more than 12,000 years. The year 2020 represents 400 years since colonizers voyaged on the Mayflower and founded Plymouth Colony as settlers on Native land. This anniversary is a time of reckoning with that history of violence, dispossession, removal. The story of Plymouth Colony cannot be told without the perspectives of Indigenous Peoples who were here as that ship arrived and who still remain.
"Levantando la voz por la paz y la seguridad en nuestros pueblos y continentes", bajo ese lema se reunieron representantes indígenas de toda Abya Yala en el Encuentro Continental de Mujeres Indígenas de las Américas. Nuestra compañera productora de Radio de Derechos Indígenas Rosario González estuvo allí y entrevistó a una de las participantes Librada Pocaterra de la Organización Indígena Wayuu de Venezuela.
