1
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,313
Runa Kuti, urban indigenous

2
00:00:33,494 --> 00:00:37,194
I consider myself from the native people Colla

3
00:00:57,533 --> 00:00:59,917
Descendant of Mbya Guaraní nation

4
00:01:22,594 --> 00:01:24,870
I am daughter of Quechuas

5
00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:30,720
[singing] Pachamama mother earth

6
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,275
[singing] don't eat me...

7
00:01:35,649 --> 00:01:37,614
From a Mapuche root

8
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:49,576
[singing] Look that i'm still young, and i have to leave seed

9
00:01:52,573 --> 00:02:01,542
[singing] hearts, don't forget me, don't forget me

10
00:02:04,714 --> 00:02:15,754
[singing] Pachamama, mother earth, don't eat me yet

11
00:02:16,717 --> 00:02:21,234
My name is Sandra Barrientos Callamullo

12
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,331
my father, my mother, they are from Potosí, south of Bolivia

13
00:02:27,331 --> 00:02:30,304
precisely from a place called Chaquí

14
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:33,972
i belong to the Quechua-Aymara culture

15
00:02:35,411 --> 00:02:39,622
i'm the oldest sister of 3, we are 3 sisters

16
00:02:40,537 --> 00:02:43,480
we were born here in Argentina

17
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,382
we are te first generation born here in Argentina

18
00:02:51,203 --> 00:02:57,462
My parents came as many people who emigrates to the big cities

19
00:02:57,478 --> 00:03:02,778
looking for that "progress" they were educated with

20
00:03:02,778 --> 00:03:06,250
in the place they came from

21
00:03:06,481 --> 00:03:11,712
Both my sisters and I lived the first period of our childhood in Villas (poor villages)

22
00:03:12,331 --> 00:03:17,023
nothing, this is unbelievable...

23
00:03:17,565 --> 00:03:21,527
And these things that parents do in order to protect us

24
00:03:21,527 --> 00:03:27,351
that was part part of our history that did not tell us, that we lived there for a while

25
00:03:28,741 --> 00:03:32,738
among other things they have done to protect us, such as...

26
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:39,569
not transmit the language

27
00:03:40,569 --> 00:03:44,097
not teach us to speak Qechua

28
00:03:44,097 --> 00:03:49,035
that's what my parents and my grandparents always spoke

29
00:04:01,977 --> 00:04:04,283
I understand them now

30
00:04:04,283 --> 00:04:07,580
that at that time they...

31
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:11,714
they tough that if they don't teach us the language, the accent was not going to stick to us

32
00:04:11,714 --> 00:04:14,190
and the people were not going to treat us badly

33
00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:16,922
but it was an appearance matter

34
00:04:18,248 --> 00:04:22,487
the insults, the bad ways... it was really clear

35
00:04:24,067 --> 00:04:26,482
not need for them to hear you talk

36
00:04:26,482 --> 00:04:29,439
they look at you, and already they treat you bad

37
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,178
This one is from Potosí, this is my grandmother's house

38
00:04:32,178 --> 00:04:34,346
already in Potosi city

39
00:04:34,346 --> 00:04:36,160
not in the countrie side

40
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,546
this is my grandfather, this one my grandmother

41
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:42,673
You know how she was up and down with that 'aguayo'?

42
00:04:42,673 --> 00:04:45,280
she would come and go just like that

43
00:04:46,869 --> 00:04:49,846
Look at Ren, when he was little

44
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:53,495
here my sister, me, Diego

45
00:04:53,495 --> 00:04:59,718
As a result of being in Bolivia and the north, meeting with people,

46
00:04:59,718 --> 00:05:02,570
and the people's behave that... don't have no comparison

47
00:05:02,570 --> 00:05:07,211
it was a different look and different treatment from the people here

48
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,302
so you relate with the people in other ways

49
00:05:12,302 --> 00:05:14,361
and you find yourself in another way

50
00:05:14,361 --> 00:05:16,899
and you say... wow! i never lived this!

51
00:05:16,899 --> 00:05:20,661
or maybe i did with mom, dad, the uncles and no one else

52
00:05:20,661 --> 00:05:25,074
but not in the streets, in the daily life

53
00:05:25,074 --> 00:05:27,629
that was different

54
00:05:28,612 --> 00:05:32,504
in that moment something happend, i start to realize

55
00:05:32,504 --> 00:05:35,400
what i lived when i was child

56
00:05:35,646 --> 00:05:39,160
and how you grow up approving situations that are not good

57
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:45,738
you go naturalizing and normalizing violent living codes

58
00:05:47,225 --> 00:05:50,940
so this reinforced also the fact of...

59
00:05:51,853 --> 00:05:56,095
of assuming the identity from another point of view

60
00:05:56,095 --> 00:05:59,579
start to... love yourself a little bit more

61
00:05:59,579 --> 00:06:01,501
that's the way

62
00:06:01,501 --> 00:06:04,963
and at the same time go healing wounds as well

63
00:06:09,856 --> 00:06:13,357
This is the planisphere with the real proportions

64
00:06:13,357 --> 00:06:19,610
At that time it was like starting to... little by little... to see the way

65
00:06:21,546 --> 00:06:25,707
is like the first stage of the process of...

66
00:06:27,566 --> 00:06:29,873
i don't know how to say it...

67
00:06:29,873 --> 00:06:32,458
identification, self-identification...

68
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:35,880
[car pass by]

69
00:06:38,264 --> 00:06:41,437
but there was that stage

70
00:06:41,437 --> 00:06:43,960
and then the other things comes

71
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,966
it's like the strenghtening stage

72
00:06:45,966 --> 00:06:49,348
firts it's to know... start to know

73
00:06:49,348 --> 00:06:55,908
and then from being doing the activities feel part of it

74
00:07:11,729 --> 00:07:15,429
What will cost them to get out and speak with us?

75
00:08:02,162 --> 00:08:05,058
I'm Valentin Palma Callamullo, from La Matanza

76
00:08:05,785 --> 00:08:07,828
i'm a Quechua descendent

77
00:08:07,828 --> 00:08:11,357
Buenos Aires is seen as the Paris of the south, the Paris from Latin America

78
00:08:11,357 --> 00:08:15,559
a place without history, where spanish people came to do nothing

79
00:08:15,559 --> 00:08:17,859
a couple of persons that resisted and that's it

80
00:08:17,859 --> 00:08:20,940
and they was... according to the official story they was exterminated

81
00:08:22,875 --> 00:08:25,800
growing up here, it's a little bit difficult

82
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,720
the society maybe in some cases

83
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,649
a bit discriminatory, maybe a bit xenophobic

84
00:08:33,649 --> 00:08:35,692
and they make you feel different

85
00:08:35,692 --> 00:08:38,720
and when you are a child, a teenager, you are more vulnerable

86
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,809
and you try to hide it, to hide some things because

87
00:08:43,762 --> 00:08:45,812
they point at you or they say

88
00:08:45,812 --> 00:08:49,717
"bolita", "paraguayan", "chilote" stuff like that

89
00:08:49,717 --> 00:08:51,977
or "shitty black"

90
00:09:02,971 --> 00:09:05,762
If I speak with my grandparents in Quechua

91
00:09:05,762 --> 00:09:08,320
or I say to them that I want to learn

92
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,702
they would laugh, they tought I was jocking with them

93
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:15,400
maybe it is naturalized that you don´t have to

94
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,471
some things, maybe for the oldest

95
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,732
there is no need

96
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,963
maybe them already have that, they are peasants not indigenous

97
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,582
they don't recognized themselves

98
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,080
the interesting for me is, that in my family they can start to feel proud

99
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000
of being indigenous descendent, of being indigenous

100
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,040
as in society is also difficult sometimes, a slow process

101
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,640
in the family as well

102
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,871
maybe to be crossed by the catholicism

103
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,480
because after all, we are all crossed

104
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,000
by five centuries of a western subjectivity, individualism

105
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,397
that prevailed here, or that tries to prevail

106
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,698
so, we all have contradictions

107
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:15,182
but the good thing is to identify them and slowly begin to recover the other thing

108
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,948
the most important thing

109
00:10:46,132 --> 00:10:49,751
(police's sirens)

110
00:10:54,362 --> 00:10:56,458
I came here to do my job

111
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,458
they warn me, there is a call from

112
00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:04,927
to defend our rights to do an indigenous ceremony here

113
00:11:04,927 --> 00:11:07,434
where there are remains of our ancestors

114
00:11:07,434 --> 00:11:09,756
like there are remains below that private neighborhood that were buried under that private neighborhood

115
00:11:09,756 --> 00:11:11,680
we do not make any complaint to them

116
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,168
because we know what is the law in this country

117
00:11:14,168 --> 00:11:15,840
that is a kind of law that protects the private property

118
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,369
not the rights of the people who lived here before these laws came

119
00:11:19,369 --> 00:11:21,874
before the ones you work with

120
00:11:22,918 --> 00:11:26,674
let's get into legal issues, do you want to come with me?

121
00:11:27,372 --> 00:11:31,615
come on, here is a public road that reaches the other side

122
00:11:33,702 --> 00:11:36,025
where the people walk

123
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,221
(radio) "because now in the fields and the mountains of America"

124
00:11:40,221 --> 00:11:42,497

00:11:53,077 --> 00:11:56,680
Ha'e peme'e, che réra Dario, che Mbyá Guaraní

130
00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:01,708
Hello everyone, my name is Darío and I'm a Mbyá Guarani's descendant

131
00:12:02,326 --> 00:12:04,480
(radio) "500 years ago fooled"

132
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,080
(radio) "by some and by others"

133

(radio) "the history will have to count with the America's poor people"

134

135
00:12:16,723 --> 00:12:21,903
(radio) "that has decided to start writing themselves, forever, their own history"

136
00:12:21,903 --> 00:12:26,200
I was born in Buenos Aires but I didn't lived my childhood there

137
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,122
when I was 3 months old, I was already traveling to Misiones

138
00:12:29,122 --> 00:12:32,234
I always say as a joke, at 3 months old I was a political exile

139
00:12:32,234 --> 00:12:34,271
my entire childhoos was in the mount

140
00:12:34,271 --> 00:12:38,457
so, there is a conexion with the mount, with the energy that the jungle has

141
00:12:39,411 --> 00:12:41,072
I grew up with that

142
00:12:41,611 --> 00:12:45,372
and then, always connected to the rock

143
00:12:45,372 --> 00:12:49,068
all my teenage years were very connected with this kind of music

144
00:12:49,068 --> 00:12:52,969
with friends who always were in rock and metal scene

145
00:12:54,307 --> 00:12:59,981
when I was 20 years old, because family issues, I came by myself to live in Buenos Aires

146
00:13:00,996 --> 00:13:03,885
it was a quite strong change, because the city where I used to lived

147
00:13:03,885 --> 00:13:05,943
called "El Dorado"

148
00:13:05,943 --> 00:13:08,110
was a very humble neighborhood, really small

149
00:13:08,110 --> 00:13:10,804
in comparasion of living in a big metropolis such as Buenos Aires

150
00:13:10,804 --> 00:13:13,006
it was shocking

151
00:13:14,809 --> 00:13:17,647
after a while, living in Buenos Aires

152
00:13:17,647 --> 00:13:20,588
I started to research about native peoples

153
00:13:20,588 --> 00:13:24,548
but it was just a matter of interest

154
00:13:24,548 --> 00:13:28,390
I wanted to know what they thought, I even spoke in past tense

155
00:13:28,390 --> 00:13:31,148
what they believed, what they had in mind

156
00:13:31,786 --> 00:13:34,196
and when I was finding out a little more

157
00:13:34,196 --> 00:13:37,087
I realize that there were some things of native peoples

158
00:13:37,718 --> 00:13:40,324
that were not wrote in the books

159
00:13:40,324 --> 00:13:43,684
and even the people would tell you about native peoples and there were missing things

160
00:13:43,715 --> 00:13:48,140
so, because I always traveled to Misiones

161
00:13:48,140 --> 00:13:50,800
at least, two or three times a year I do

162
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,940
because a spiritual need, I could say

163
00:13:52,940 --> 00:13:55,663
I need to intern myself a while in the mount

164
00:13:55,663 --> 00:14:00,261
I found out that what I have to do is go and get into an indigenous community

165
00:14:00,261 --> 00:14:02,640
so, I took my bag and went

166
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,812
I got into the community, I introduce myself

167
00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:06,698
I was welcome

168
00:14:06,698 --> 00:14:09,742
a community called Yeyé, wich in spanish means Palmitos

169
00:14:09,762 --> 00:14:13,053
obviously my head made a terrible turn because

170
00:14:13,053 --> 00:14:16,641
I found that there was lots more about this matter

171
00:14:16,641 --> 00:14:18,407
- and because is you -

172
00:14:21,638 --> 00:14:26,293
I think I was more interested in activism, see more about this peoples

173
00:14:26,293 --> 00:14:28,941
I wanted to get involved more in this subject

174
00:14:28,941 --> 00:14:31,903
and I start to take part, to connect with the people that was

175
00:14:31,903 --> 00:14:35,239
in the most political part, if you want to say it

176
00:14:35,239 --> 00:14:40,705
or more specific claims as the land issue, the security issue

177
00:14:40,705 --> 00:14:44,454
health issues, this a bit more... serious

178
00:14:44,454 --> 00:14:48,374
I think we should also have a spiritual independence

179
00:14:48,374 --> 00:14:53,578
become independent of the spiritual terrorism that the catholic system has being doing along all this years

180
00:14:53,578 --> 00:14:56,771
what they are doing, I would called it spiritual terrorism

181
00:14:57,356 --> 00:15:03,514
And at the time, my mother asked me, what I was doing with the indigenous matters

182
00:15:03,514 --> 00:15:07,433
Because I knew she had her bad... her experience from what the 76's dictatorship was

183
00:15:07,433 --> 00:15:10,982
I didn't want to tell her a lot, not to scare

184
00:15:10,982 --> 00:15:15,617
and I told her: look, most of them, are cultural activities

185
00:15:15,617 --> 00:15:17,791
we talk about indigenous customs

186
00:15:17,791 --> 00:15:22,720
And she said to me: I asked you, because the parents of your grandmother were indigenous

187
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,771
And I say to her: are you telling me that part of my blood is indigenous?

188
00:15:27,771 --> 00:15:33,062
and she said: yes, your grandmother and her parents were indigenous, from Guaranies

189
00:15:33,062 --> 00:15:38,070
So... i was someone searching something that already had

190
00:15:38,070 --> 00:15:45,667
seems crazy to tell it this way, but I was looking for little pieces, putting together something that was already made

191
00:15:47,098 --> 00:15:52,385
I'm Argentinian, born here in Argentina, but my mother and father are Bolivian.

192
00:15:52,385 --> 00:15:58,091
I'm Pedro, Pedro, just Pedro, another one in this world

193
00:15:59,229 --> 00:16:04,267
Something happend to me that unfortunately happens to everybody in the life,

194
00:16:04,267 --> 00:16:06,765
my mother gone, died.

195
00:16:06,765 --> 00:16:13,895
Being walking and remembering I had a very deep and personal question:

196
00:16:13,895 --> 00:16:20,046
How do I continued the relationship between my mother and I after that?

197
00:16:22,061 --> 00:16:27,947
Amazingly in the middle of the hills I was walking around and kicking stones

198
00:16:27,947 --> 00:16:32,752
I think I gave myself the best answer to my own question

199
00:16:32,752 --> 00:16:36,735
why not do what she always did?

200
00:16:36,735 --> 00:16:43,036
Why not to continue with the things she did... in the way she walked?

201
00:16:43,036 --> 00:16:49,170
and then I remembered that she had never left, since I have memory,

202
00:16:49,170 --> 00:16:52,105
to make her ceremony to Mother Earth.

203
00:16:53,521 --> 00:16:56,787
So instead of closing my door because I was a little more alone,

204
00:16:56,787 --> 00:17:01,356
I opened my door and there began to come kids from the neighborhood

205
00:17:01,356 --> 00:17:09,692
I started to try to be useful to the community with a small place to give food to the poors in the weekend

206
00:17:11,539 --> 00:17:17,644
and I was thinking how I would continue the way of my mother about their culture

207
00:17:17,644 --> 00:17:20,551
and their traditions and their cosmovision...

208
00:17:20,551 --> 00:17:26,277
And in that time i told to the kids that were coming there:

209
00:17:26,277 --> 00:17:33,422
look, is about 1 August and I wanted to do a ceremony for Mother Earth

210
00:17:34,129 --> 00:17:38,404
and logical kids when they are young, they have no prejudice

211
00:17:38,404 --> 00:17:41,450
They said, what is it?. I tell them we will make a meal,

212
00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:45,385
we will share with each otjer and we will make an offering to Mother Earth

213
00:17:45,477 --> 00:17:48,079
and the kids said: yeah, yeah let's do, let's do

214
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:53,174
and this was the begging of my cultural roots rescue's story

215
00:18:11,115 --> 00:18:14,877
This library began more or less in the early 90's.

216
00:18:14,877 --> 00:18:21,236
At first it was on that corner, a pile of books and magazines with papers

217
00:18:21,236 --> 00:18:26,312
and a group of guys with who we started doing crafts,

218
00:18:26,312 --> 00:18:30,758
I wasn't a craftsman either, I didn't know, but trying to entertain them

219
00:18:30,758 --> 00:18:34,774
and give them something they could use and that they could be helpful with,

220
00:18:34,774 --> 00:18:40,217
I started to learn, and that makes us appreciate all that surrounds us

221
00:18:40,217 --> 00:18:44,194
and that's what today I would say from the small library

222
00:18:44,286 --> 00:18:49,051
that yes, in part I humbly think, I'm succeeding, to convey that,

223
00:18:49,051 --> 00:18:51,947
to show the world view of indigenous peoples.

224
00:18:56,322 --> 00:18:58,132
Teach this, show this

225
00:18:58,132 --> 00:19:03,179
to the kids, starts to encourage them to realize and respect the culture of the fathers and mothers,

226
00:19:03,179 --> 00:19:05,530
but sometimes older people comes too

227
00:19:05,530 --> 00:19:09,800
and talking about this, perhaps is a way I might...

228
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,787
or I tell them how myself now, older, I start to realize this,

229
00:19:13,787 --> 00:19:19,869
and they begin to think back, to remember their parents, their grandparents

230
00:19:19,869 --> 00:19:22,354
and they start to recover their identity.

231
00:19:41,892 --> 00:19:43,284
One day, at the University of

232
00:19:43,923 --> 00:19:47,137
I studied at the University of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo

233
00:19:47,137 --> 00:19:49,926
and one day a colleague told me about this and the following Saturday we came

234
00:19:49,926 --> 00:19:54,605
That was almost a year ago, in March 2010

235
00:19:54,605 --> 00:19:58,219
and then I came and well ... and I could not go

236
00:19:58,219 --> 00:20:05,070
I began to be here a couple of days until I left everything there and I came to live here

237
00:20:07,116 --> 00:20:10,287
The oldest do not understand yet.

238
00:20:10,287 --> 00:20:14,379
is contradictory because they keep traditions of indigenous culture,

239
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:21,401
even though this pierced by Catholicism, retain several things that

240
00:20:21,401 --> 00:20:28,493
perhaps unknowingly ... and being the closest to that

241
00:20:28,493 --> 00:20:31,519
and like that, maybe they do not understand sometimes

242
00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:35,597
the younger, cousins or uncles they do realize

243
00:20:35,597 --> 00:20:38,146
because the place is very strong,

244
00:20:38,146 --> 00:20:43,778
I mean, not only the nature or being facing to something so disgusting like these

245
00:20:43,778 --> 00:20:47,701
is mostly connected with the history of the place,

246
00:20:47,701 --> 00:20:55,011
and without being esoteric mysticism or anything, it feels,

247
00:20:55,011 --> 00:20:57,379
There is an energy in the place

248
00:21:04,027 --> 00:21:07,498
We try to take only what is on the surface

249
00:21:07,498 --> 00:21:10,096
what is kind of burried we don´t take it out

250
00:21:10,096 --> 00:21:13,218
but the reality is that after the water comes and takes it all.

251
00:21:13,218 --> 00:21:17,692
When this gets lower you can walk around

252
00:21:17,692 --> 00:21:19,817
Here I am seeing a lot more of pieces

253
00:21:27,632 --> 00:21:31,020
There are plenty. See beneath the landfill

254
00:21:31,020 --> 00:21:34,183
Yes, some people calls me Pablo, the indian

255
00:21:34,183 --> 00:21:39,690
About ten years now that I am participate in an alternative media, Indymedia

256
00:21:39,690 --> 00:21:43,124
working with news of native people.

257
00:21:47,586 --> 00:21:52,246
What we are asking is that this part of the lands that were sold

258
00:21:52,246 --> 00:21:55,998
make a reversal of entrepreneurship of the private neighborhood

259
00:21:55,998 --> 00:22:00,337
to remain as a public space which claims to indigenous peoples,

260
00:22:00,337 --> 00:22:03,494
to protect archaeological remains that are in this place,

261
00:22:03,494 --> 00:22:09,173
remaining open place to use as it has been used for decades

262
00:22:09,173 --> 00:22:12,859
This will mean to make the first claim to the indigenous peoples of Buenos Aires

263
00:22:12,859 --> 00:22:15,509
rigjt outside of the Capital.

264
00:22:16,663 --> 00:22:20,677
We are trying to make is that, by retrieving this place, it begins to speak,

265
00:22:20,677 --> 00:22:23,422
serve as a trigger to think Buenos Aires in other ways

266
00:22:23,422 --> 00:22:28,118
to raise awareness throug all the population living in Buenos Aires

267
00:22:28,118 --> 00:22:33,622
that the history of this place is not what we have been taught since childhood.

268
00:22:33,622 --> 00:22:37,805
Where is Pablich? ... Pablich ...

269
00:22:38,928 --> 00:22:47,040
New shirt, new shoes, hairstyle, tie, trousers, they have everything

270
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:52,882
They arrived when the machines began to build that

271
00:22:52,882 --> 00:22:55,504
and after, the peole came

272
00:22:57,612 --> 00:23:01,351
the people who speaks english and live inside

273
00:23:01,499 --> 00:23:05,368
They are yankees priest from Arizona.

274
00:23:05,368 --> 00:23:10,564
I think is a paradox how the come

275
00:23:10,564 --> 00:23:14,648
500 years ago they came with the cross and the sword from Spain

276
00:23:14,648 --> 00:23:21,016
and today, the come with the bulldozers and the cross from United States

277
00:23:21,016 --> 00:23:22,934
in versions of those places

278
00:23:25,088 --> 00:23:27,676
Is the same history, like a spanish poet said

279
00:23:27,676 --> 00:23:30,299
"Some people read ten centuries of history and closes the book because it is always the same"

280
00:23:30,299 --> 00:23:36,384
but the good thing is that in this story there is always another story, which is not told,

281
00:23:36,384 --> 00:23:39,505
the voice of the vanquished, supposedly

282
00:23:39,505 --> 00:23:42,813
that slowly is beginning to be heard

283
00:23:42,813 --> 00:23:45,111
and to be visible

284
00:23:53,522 --> 00:23:58,668
[singing] The days are passing, the nights are going

285
00:24:04,553 --> 00:24:10,472
[singing] The days are passing, the nights are going

286
00:24:10,472 --> 00:24:16,170
[singing] my youth fading like flowers of the field

287
00:24:16,170 --> 00:24:21,842
[singing] Oh, I am so sad, I feel like crying

288
00:24:21,842 --> 00:24:27,769
[singing] remembering those moments that we were very happy

289
00:24:27,769 --> 00:24:33,847
[singing] Oh, I am so sad, I feel like crying

290
00:24:33,847 --> 00:24:39,479
[singing] remembering those moments that we were very happy

291
00:24:39,479 --> 00:24:43,873
[singing] they say, say, say that you want me

292
00:24:43,873 --> 00:24:48,171
[singing] they say, say, say that you love me

293
00:24:48,171 --> 00:24:52,409
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t kiss me?

294
00:24:52,409 --> 00:24:56,631
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t hug me?

295
00:24:56,631 --> 00:25:00,903
[singing] they say, say, say that you want me

296
00:25:00,903 --> 00:25:05,101
[singing] they say, say, say that you love me

297
00:25:05,101 --> 00:25:09,056
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t kiss me?

298
00:25:09,056 --> 00:25:13,421
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t hug me?

299
00:25:21,615 --> 00:25:24,852
I listened to folk music

300
00:25:24,852 --> 00:25:28,762
and after that I started to listen and play Sikus

301
00:25:28,762 --> 00:25:30,568
traditional music (from the Andes)

302
00:25:30,568 --> 00:25:33,875
and in this moment I realized

303
00:25:33,875 --> 00:25:37,321
the function, the funcionality of the music

304
00:25:37,321 --> 00:25:39,579
the reason of the music

305
00:25:39,579 --> 00:25:42,985
of the origin of the music in the different cultures

306
00:25:42,985 --> 00:25:44,655
[Sing in Quechua] Lloqo lloqo qollunxa

307
00:25:44,655 --> 00:25:47,010
[Sing in Quechua] waki wawa llupt'añan

308
00:25:47,010 --> 00:25:49,799
[Sing in Quechua] Lloqo lloqo qollunxa

309
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:51,955
[Sing in Quechua] waki wawa llupt'añan

310
00:25:51,955 --> 00:25:55,194
[Sing in Quechua] ukataki atipxayasipxasma

311
00:25:55,194 --> 00:25:59,041
[Sing in Quechua] ukataki atipxayasipxasma

312
00:25:59,041 --> 00:26:02,425
This is the important thing, the interrelation between people

313
00:26:02,425 --> 00:26:06,295
the interrelation between the differents voices of the instrument

314
00:26:06,295 --> 00:26:08,733
and singing in group

315
00:26:08,733 --> 00:26:12,750
this is... what also

316
00:26:12,750 --> 00:26:16,589
when you start to do it, to share it, to experience it

317
00:26:16,589 --> 00:26:17,574
you feel it

318
00:26:17,574 --> 00:26:19,966
one thing is to play alone

319
00:26:19,966 --> 00:26:21,127
triying to cover one song

320
00:26:21,127 --> 00:26:22,742
and another different thing it's to play all togheter

321
00:26:28,025 --> 00:26:30,734
I listen to Heavy Metal since I have 12 years

322
00:26:30,734 --> 00:26:33,266
is a music that accompanied me throughout adolescence

323
00:26:33,266 --> 00:26:36,290
throughout this period of rebellion...

324
00:26:36,290 --> 00:26:38,904
¿how do you say?

325
00:26:38,904 --> 00:26:40,020
of craziness

326
00:26:40,020 --> 00:26:41,799
always accompanied with the Heavy Metal

327
00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:45,116
and when i was a boy I said: when I grow up I'm going to have a band

328
00:26:45,116 --> 00:26:49,168
[music] I miss the rock, in the blood

329
00:26:49,168 --> 00:26:52,756
[music] I miss the rock, in the blood

330
00:26:52,756 --> 00:26:56,449
[music] I miss the rock, in the blood

331
00:26:57,818 --> 00:26:59,361
When I started with the indigenous militancy

332
00:26:59,361 --> 00:27:01,674
i continue with my...

333
00:27:02,844 --> 00:27:04,926
listen to the same music

334
00:27:04,926 --> 00:27:07,104
then something appears in my life way

335
00:27:07,104 --> 00:27:13,024
I'm going to be a militant indigenous that renounced to his musical preferences

336
00:27:13,024 --> 00:27:16,561
or I'm going to be a heavy metal that renounced to his roots

337
00:27:16,561 --> 00:27:18,227
I had this dilemma

338
00:27:18,227 --> 00:27:20,568
then i said: no, why I can't do not both?

339
00:27:20,568 --> 00:27:22,689
and I proposed the idea

340
00:27:22,689 --> 00:27:25,223
I want to make a band like this, going to have a lot from indigenous peoples

341
00:27:25,223 --> 00:27:27,484
going to be a lot of words from the indigenous peoples

342
00:27:27,484 --> 00:27:29,684
lot of message from the indigenous people

343
00:27:29,684 --> 00:27:31,571
and well ... Charlie looked at me as he is saying to say: What!?

344
00:27:31,571 --> 00:27:33,186
¡¿What you want to do?!

345
00:27:33,186 --> 00:27:36,543
and I proposed the name

346
00:27:36,543 --> 00:27:39,482
[singing] Good night

347
00:27:39,482 --> 00:27:41,045
[singing] this is

348
00:27:41,045 --> 00:27:44,844
[singing] XON-DA-RO

349
00:27:49,249 --> 00:27:53,985
Xondaros was, or still are, the protectors of the communities

350
00:27:53,985 --> 00:27:57,370
they are communities physical and spiritual protectors

351
00:27:59,170 --> 00:28:02,524
[singing] They can not defeat me

352
00:28:04,979 --> 00:28:07,676
Obviously we did not invent anything

353
00:28:07,676 --> 00:28:10,782
There are many bands that take indigenous issues in his lyrics

354
00:28:10,782 --> 00:28:12,821
maybe the change we do is:

355
00:28:12,821 --> 00:28:17,083
the present and the future of the indigenous message

356
00:28:17,083 --> 00:28:19,110
My thing is heavy metal

357
00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:20,932
is what I like to do

358
00:28:23,347 --> 00:28:25,775
everyone, every person

359
00:28:25,775 --> 00:28:26,715
in his own place

360
00:28:26,715 --> 00:28:29,348
have to do his own fight

361
00:28:29,348 --> 00:28:33,088
some with music, another with writing, another through journalism

362
00:28:33,088 --> 00:28:35,041
in the schools

363
00:28:35,041 --> 00:28:38,863
everyone has to let out the fight that we have inside

364
00:28:38,863 --> 00:28:40,562
from that place

365
00:28:40,562 --> 00:28:43,481
So we can say that from there we go shooting

366
00:28:43,481 --> 00:28:45,389
is our strength

367
00:28:53,272 --> 00:28:55,904
- She, the weaver

368
00:28:55,904 --> 00:29:00,392
- wakes up when is still night

369
00:29:00,392 --> 00:29:03,596
- like if she's listening the sound of the day

370
00:29:03,596 --> 00:29:08,877
- then, picks up a clear strand and passes it

371
00:29:08,877 --> 00:29:11,157
- between this threads

372
00:29:11,157 --> 00:29:15,737
- Quickly the first line of light on the horizon is draw

373
00:31:19,152 --> 00:31:22,505
In Punta Querandí began to spread the rumor that it was

374
00:31:22,505 --> 00:31:25,760
an indigenous cemetery that was to be destroyed by a private neighborhood

375
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,656
from that point, seeing that the authorities that had to protect this place

376
00:31:29,656 --> 00:31:31,357
didn't do it

377
00:31:31,357 --> 00:31:33,737
Starts an organization called

378
00:31:33,737 --> 00:31:36,022
Movimiento en Defensa de la Pacha

379
00:31:36,022 --> 00:31:39,204
composed by indigenous, environmentalists, journalists, neighbors...

380
00:31:39,204 --> 00:31:43,062
a confluence of very important parts

381
00:31:50,328 --> 00:31:52,198
I was learning in this way

382
00:31:52,198 --> 00:31:54,454
that everything around me

383
00:31:54,454 --> 00:31:56,434
everything with which I fed

384
00:31:56,434 --> 00:31:58,287
everything with which I heal

385
00:31:58,287 --> 00:32:02,431
even with the clothes I usually wear

386
00:32:02,431 --> 00:32:04,696
was coming from the earth

387
00:32:04,696 --> 00:32:07,571
when we have the concept is easy to understand

388
00:32:07,571 --> 00:32:09,769
that we are children of the Pacha (Pachamama)

389
00:32:09,769 --> 00:32:12,346
and we are all brothers

390
00:32:13,515 --> 00:32:16,133
For me what unites

391
00:32:16,133 --> 00:32:18,019
the cultures in the wolrd

392
00:32:18,019 --> 00:32:24,249
is the feeling of love for the earth

393
00:32:24,249 --> 00:32:29,230
the respect to the space where we are

394
00:32:38,584 --> 00:32:40,768
Ancestral peoples are now returning

395
00:32:40,768 --> 00:32:42,297
to their territory

396
00:32:42,297 --> 00:32:44,687
they not die, they are, they are still here

397
00:32:44,687 --> 00:32:46,726
they are pushing us

398
00:32:49,034 --> 00:32:53,368
Our Grandparents have been watching the movements of the universe

399
00:32:53,368 --> 00:32:56,611
they have seen cycles of five centuries

400
00:32:56,611 --> 00:32:59,292
now it's begining a movement ...

401
00:32:59,292 --> 00:33:01,047
in a global level

402
00:33:01,047 --> 00:33:05,884
that is making that the knowledge of the ancient cultures are gaining more space

403
00:33:07,053 --> 00:33:10,088
Pacha Kuti happens every 500 years

404
00:33:10,088 --> 00:33:14,995
Pacha means cosmos, universe, mother earth

405
00:33:14,995 --> 00:33:19,565
Kuti means to return, go back, change ...

406
00:33:20,657 --> 00:33:23,055
I am very happy with what is happening in South America

407
00:33:23,055 --> 00:33:27,339
I like that my generation, and people a little older than me,

408
00:33:27,339 --> 00:33:29,517
we are preparing this way

409
00:33:29,517 --> 00:33:31,410
very hard times are coming, very nasty times

410
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:34,325
but also some very strong times at some level...

411
00:33:34,325 --> 00:33:35,860
at a earth level we can say

412
00:33:35,860 --> 00:33:38,774
at Abya Yala level, the new world

413
00:33:38,774 --> 00:33:41,787
It's like we are looking inside for this equilibrium

414
00:33:41,787 --> 00:33:44,422
also for the outside does not?

415
00:33:44,422 --> 00:33:47,725
Indigenous people always speak of cyclic life

416
00:33:47,725 --> 00:33:49,283
always cyclic life

417
00:33:49,283 --> 00:33:50,588
begins and ends, begins and ends

418
00:33:50,588 --> 00:33:52,048
Circular life

419
00:33:52,048 --> 00:33:54,043
And we go back to that point again

420
00:33:54,043 --> 00:33:56,571
going through the best of times, apparent

421
00:33:56,571 --> 00:33:58,839
and returning to that situation

422
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:04,609
in which we will recover our natural living

423
00:34:04,609 --> 00:34:07,279
between man and nature

424
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:10,014
and equilibrium in all concepts

425
00:34:10,014 --> 00:34:14,011
dynamic, electrodynamic, cultural, life ...

426
00:34:14,011 --> 00:34:16,891
We know we are planting a seed here

427
00:34:16,891 --> 00:34:19,116
I'm positive that there is no turning back

428
00:34:19,116 --> 00:34:21,339
will be another balance of power

429
00:34:21,339 --> 00:34:24,513
You see that there are more and more people

430
00:34:24,513 --> 00:34:27,244
working for equilibrium

431
00:34:27,244 --> 00:34:30,141
It's a phenomenon, there is a revaluation

432
00:34:30,141 --> 00:34:32,020
and I bet to this revaluation

433
00:34:32,020 --> 00:34:34,205
we can create a more conscious society

434
00:34:34,205 --> 00:34:36,160
we can

435
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,437
We began to start giving more value

436
00:34:39,437 --> 00:34:42,602
to a corn than to a gold ring

437
00:34:42,602 --> 00:34:45,924
overturning that value, that economic system

438
00:34:45,924 --> 00:34:48,113
of value, money and gold

439
00:34:48,113 --> 00:34:53,256
Big part of that essence is still inside of many people

440
00:34:53,256 --> 00:34:56,409
it's inside the persons

441
00:34:56,409 --> 00:34:58,282
is just to assume the responsability

442
00:34:58,282 --> 00:35:02,156
return to a relationship with nature

443
00:35:02,156 --> 00:35:06,080
And that love for the earth, to the universe

444
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:11,056
is the love to yourself, and to everything

445
00:35:11,056 --> 00:35:13,701
We are all in that way

446
00:35:13,701 --> 00:35:16,526
there is some people, that still fail to realize

447
00:35:16,526 --> 00:35:20,449
but someday, with consciousness, as they said the grandparents

448
00:35:20,449 --> 00:35:22,069
or by pain

449
00:35:22,069 --> 00:35:23,994
they will begin to realize

450
00:35:23,994 --> 00:35:26,741
¡¡JALLALLA JALLALLA TATA INTI!!
(Hurrah Hurrah for the Grandfather Sun)

451
00:35:26,741 --> 00:35:29,995
¡¡JALLALLA!!
(Hurrah)

452
00:35:29,995 --> 00:35:32,972
¡¡JALLALLA JALLALLA TATA INTI!!
(Hurrah Hurrah for the Grandfather Sun)

453
00:35:32,972 --> 00:35:36,386
¡¡JALLALLA!!
(Hurrah)

454
00:35:36,386 --> 00:35:40,161
¡¡JALLALLA JALLALLA TATA INTI!!
(Hurrah Hurrah for the Grandfather Sun)

455
00:35:40,161 --> 00:35:44,682
¡¡JALLALLA JALLALLA TATA INTI!!
(Hurrah Hurrah for the Grandfather Sun)

456
00:36:11,309 --> 00:36:13,487
[singing] Five centuries resisting

00:36:13,487 --> 00:36:15,630

[singing] maintaining always the essence

462
00:36:29,798 --> 00:36:31,304
[singing] Is your essence and it's seed

463
00:36:31,304 --> 00:36:35,070
[singing] and it's inside of us forever

464
00:36:35,070 --> 00:36:38,085
[singing] Is your essence and it's seed

465
00:36:38,085 --> 00:36:41,882
[singing] and it's inside of us forever

466
00:36:41,882 --> 00:36:43,954
[singing] It becomes life with the Sun

467
00:36:43,954 --> 00:36:47,224
[singing] and flowers in the Pachamama

468
00:36:47,224 --> 00:36:49,715
[singing] It becomes life with the Sun

469
00:36:49,715 --> 00:36:53,335
[singing] and flowers in the Pachamama

470
00:37:34,804 --> 00:37:37,535

471
00:37:37,535 --> 00:37:40,494
[singing] my brothers live

[singing] At the edge of a path

473
00:37:43,253 --> 00:37:45,964
[singing] my brothers live

474
00:37:45,964 --> 00:37:48,966
[singing] They ask God, persecuted

[singing] you can call them Qom

476
