The following video showcases how some indigenous teachers have made EIB fit their needs, while also showing some limitations of the program.
This movie shares the "clash of two worlds," as indigenous communities battle deforestation on their native lands against the Peruvian state and international companies who want to profit off of their lands. They show how language impacts the way the situation is perceived by the public, and how the state uses violence and military action is used to reach their goals.
Thousands of women were forcibly sterilized in Peru in the 1990s due to language barriers, misinformation, and negative influence and pressure from developed countries. The violence against indigenous women continues to this day. Quipu Calls for Justice is the story of how many of those women are now fighting for justice, healing, and sharing their stories.
As part of my final project in my Bilingualism and Interculturalism in the Andes course during Spring of 2021, I created this video to share how indigenous communities do not need to fit into the molds and societal standards of the western, capitalist world.
The following website shares the movie and story of Maxima, an indigenous woman from Peru who has fought countless legal battles to keep her land and way of living after international companies and businesses have tried to buy her land. The film explores all the barriers and obstacles that she is still facing as these US-backed companies aggressively persist.
