WEBVTT

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:09.313
Runa Kuti, urban indigenous

00:00:33.494 --> 00:00:37.194
I consider myself from the native people Colla

00:00:57.533 --> 00:00:59.917
Descendant of Mbya Guaraní nation

00:01:22.594 --> 00:01:24.870
I am daughter of Quechuas

00:01:26.030 --> 00:01:30.720
[singing] Pachamama mother earth

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.275
[singing] don't eat me...

00:01:35.649 --> 00:01:37.614
From a Mapuche root

00:01:39.190 --> 00:01:49.576
[singing] Look that i'm still young, and i have to leave seed

00:01:52.573 --> 00:02:01.542
[singing] hearts, don't forget me, don't forget me

00:02:04.714 --> 00:02:15.754
[singing] Pachamama, mother earth, don't eat me yet

00:02:16.717 --> 00:02:21.234
My name is Sandra Barrientos Callamullo

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.331
my father, my mother, they are from Potosí, south of Bolivia

00:02:27.331 --> 00:02:30.304
precisely from a place called Chaquí

00:02:30.942 --> 00:02:33.972
i belong to the Quechua-Aymara culture

00:02:35.411 --> 00:02:39.622
i'm the oldest sister of 3, we are 3 sisters

00:02:40.537 --> 00:02:43.480
we were born here in Argentina

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:47.382
we are te first generation born here in Argentina

00:02:51.203 --> 00:02:57.462
My parents came as many people who emigrates to the big cities

00:02:57.478 --> 00:03:02.778
looking for that "progress" they were educated with

00:03:02.778 --> 00:03:06.250
in the place they came from

00:03:06.481 --> 00:03:11.712
Both my sisters and I lived the first period of our childhood in Villas (poor villages)

00:03:12.331 --> 00:03:17.023
nothing, this is unbelievable...

00:03:17.565 --> 00:03:21.527
And these things that parents do in order to protect us

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

00:03:28.741 --> 00:03:32.738
among other things they have done to protect us, such as...

00:03:36.592 --> 00:03:39.569
not transmit the language

00:03:40.569 --> 00:03:44.097
not teach us to speak Qechua

00:03:44.097 --> 00:03:49.035
that's what my parents and my grandparents always spoke

00:04:01.977 --> 00:04:04.283
I understand them now

00:04:04.283 --> 00:04:07.580
that at that time they...

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

00:04:11.714 --> 00:04:14.190
and the people were not going to treat us badly

00:04:14.190 --> 00:04:16.922
but it was an appearance matter

00:04:18.248 --> 00:04:22.487
the insults, the bad ways... it was really clear

00:04:24.067 --> 00:04:26.482
not need for them to hear you talk

00:04:26.482 --> 00:04:29.439
they look at you, and already they treat you bad

00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.178
This one is from Potosí, this is my grandmother's house

00:04:32.178 --> 00:04:34.346
already in Potosi city

00:04:34.346 --> 00:04:36.160
not in the countrie side

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.546
this is my grandfather, this one my grandmother

00:04:40.446 --> 00:04:42.673
You know how she was up and down with that 'aguayo'?

00:04:42.673 --> 00:04:45.280
she would come and go just like that

00:04:46.869 --> 00:04:49.846
Look at Ren, when he was little

00:04:51.157 --> 00:04:53.495
here my sister, me, Diego

00:04:53.495 --> 00:04:59.718
As a result of being in Bolivia and the north, meeting with people,

00:04:59.718 --> 00:05:02.570
and the people's behave that... don't have no comparison

00:05:02.570 --> 00:05:07.211
it was a different look and different treatment from the people here

00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:12.302
so you relate with the people in other ways

00:05:12.302 --> 00:05:14.361
and you find yourself in another way

00:05:14.361 --> 00:05:16.899
and you say... wow! i never lived this!

00:05:16.899 --> 00:05:20.661
or maybe i did with mom, dad, the uncles and no one else

00:05:20.661 --> 00:05:25.074
but not in the streets, in the daily life

00:05:25.074 --> 00:05:27.629
that was different

00:05:28.612 --> 00:05:32.504
in that moment something happend, i start to realize

00:05:32.504 --> 00:05:35.400
what i lived when i was child

00:05:35.646 --> 00:05:39.160
and how you grow up approving situations that are not good

00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:45.738
you go naturalizing and normalizing violent living codes

00:05:47.225 --> 00:05:50.940
so this reinforced also the fact of...

00:05:51.853 --> 00:05:56.095
of assuming the identity from another point of view

00:05:56.095 --> 00:05:59.579
start to... love yourself a little bit more

00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:01.501
that's the way

00:06:01.501 --> 00:06:04.963
and at the same time go healing wounds as well

00:06:09.856 --> 00:06:13.357
This is the planisphere with the real proportions

00:06:13.357 --> 00:06:19.610
At that time it was like starting to... little by little... to see the way

00:06:21.546 --> 00:06:25.707
is like the first stage of the process of...

00:06:27.566 --> 00:06:29.873
i don't know how to say it...

00:06:29.873 --> 00:06:32.458
identification, self-identification...

00:06:33.927 --> 00:06:35.880
[car pass by]

00:06:38.264 --> 00:06:41.437
but there was that stage

00:06:41.437 --> 00:06:43.960
and then the other things comes

00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:45.966
it's like the strenghtening stage

00:06:45.966 --> 00:06:49.348
firts it's to know... start to know

00:06:49.348 --> 00:06:55.908
and then from being doing the activities feel part of it

00:07:11.729 --> 00:07:15.429
What will cost them to get out and speak with us?

00:08:02.162 --> 00:08:05.058
I'm Valentin Palma Callamullo, from La Matanza

00:08:05.785 --> 00:08:07.828
i'm a Quechua descendent

00:08:07.828 --> 00:08:11.357
Buenos Aires is seen as the Paris of the south, the Paris from Latin America

00:08:11.357 --> 00:08:15.559
a place without history, where spanish people came to do nothing

00:08:15.559 --> 00:08:17.859
a couple of persons that resisted and that's it

00:08:17.859 --> 00:08:20.940
and they was... according to the official story they was exterminated

00:08:22.875 --> 00:08:25.800
growing up here, it's a little bit difficult

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:29.720
the society maybe in some cases

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.649
a bit discriminatory, maybe a bit xenophobic

00:08:33.649 --> 00:08:35.692
and they make you feel different

00:08:35.692 --> 00:08:38.720
and when you are a child, a teenager, you are more vulnerable

00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.809
and you try to hide it, to hide some things because

00:08:43.762 --> 00:08:45.812
they point at you or they say

00:08:45.812 --> 00:08:49.717
"bolita", "paraguayan", "chilote" stuff like that

00:08:49.717 --> 00:08:51.977
or "shitty black"

00:09:02.971 --> 00:09:05.762
If I speak with my grandparents in Quechua

00:09:05.762 --> 00:09:08.320
or I say to them that I want to learn

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.702
they would laugh, they tought I was jocking with them

00:09:13.178 --> 00:09:15.400
maybe it is naturalized that you don´t have to

00:09:15.400 --> 00:09:19.471
some things, maybe for the oldest

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:22.732
there is no need

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.963
maybe them already have that, they are peasants not indigenous

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.582
they don't recognized themselves

00:09:34.040 --> 00:09:38.080
the interesting for me is, that in my family they can start to feel proud

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.000
of being indigenous descendent, of being indigenous

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.040
as in society is also difficult sometimes, a slow process

00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:47.640
in the family as well

00:09:47.640 --> 00:09:51.871
maybe to be crossed by the catholicism

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:55.480
because after all, we are all crossed

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.000
by five centuries of a western subjectivity, individualism

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:03.397
that prevailed here, or that tries to prevail

00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:08.698
so, we all have contradictions

00:10:09.800 --> 00:10:15.182
but the good thing is to identify them and slowly begin to recover the other thing

00:10:16.920 --> 00:10:18.948
the most important thing

00:10:46.132 --> 00:10:49.751
(police's sirens)

00:10:54.362 --> 00:10:56.458
I came here to do my job

00:10:58.040 --> 00:11:00.458
they warn me, there is a call from

00:11:01.708 --> 00:11:04.927
to defend our rights to do an indigenous ceremony here

00:11:04.927 --> 00:11:07.434
where there are remains of our ancestors

00:11:07.434 --> 00:11:09.756
like there are remains below that private neighborhood that were buried under that private neighborhood

00:11:09.756 --> 00:11:11.680
we do not make any complaint to them

00:11:11.680 --> 00:11:14.168
because we know what is the law in this country

00:11:14.168 --> 00:11:15.840
that is a kind of law that protects the private property

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.369
not the rights of the people who lived here before these laws came

00:11:19.369 --> 00:11:21.874
before the ones you work with

00:11:22.918 --> 00:11:26.674
let's get into legal issues, do you want to come with me?

00:11:27.372 --> 00:11:31.615
come on, here is a public road that reaches the other side

00:11:33.702 --> 00:11:36.025
where the people walk

00:11:36.760 --> 00:11:40.221
(radio) "because now in the fields and the mountains of America"

00:11:40.221 --> 00:11:42.497
(radio) "in the slopes of the hills"

00:11:42.497 --> 00:11:44.800
(radio) "in the plains and jungles"

00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:47.744
(radio) "between loneliness or city traffic"

00:11:47.744 --> 00:11:50.760
(radio) "on the shores of the great oceans and rivers"

00:11:50.760 --> 00:11:53.077
(radio) "the world is beginning to shake"

00:11:53.077 --> 00:11:56.680
Ha'e peme'e, che réra Dario, che Mbyá Guaraní

00:11:56.680 --> 00:12:01.708
Hello everyone, my name is Darío and I'm a Mbyá Guarani's descendant

00:12:02.326 --> 00:12:04.480
(radio) "500 years ago fooled"

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.080
(radio) "by some and by others"

00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:12.240
(radio) "the history will have to count with the America's poor people"

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:16.723
(radio) "with the exploited and spurned of Latin America"

00:12:16.723 --> 00:12:21.903
(radio) "that has decided to start writing themselves, forever, their own history"

00:12:21.903 --> 00:12:26.200
I was born in Buenos Aires but I didn't lived my childhood there

00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.122
when I was 3 months old, I was already traveling to Misiones

00:12:29.122 --> 00:12:32.234
I always say as a joke, at 3 months old I was a political exile

00:12:32.234 --> 00:12:34.271
my entire childhoos was in the mount

00:12:34.271 --> 00:12:38.457
so, there is a conexion with the mount, with the energy that the jungle has

00:12:39.411 --> 00:12:41.072
I grew up with that

00:12:41.611 --> 00:12:45.372
and then, always connected to the rock

00:12:45.372 --> 00:12:49.068
all my teenage years were very connected with this kind of music

00:12:49.068 --> 00:12:52.969
with friends who always were in rock and metal scene

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

00:13:00.996 --> 00:13:03.885
it was a quite strong change, because the city where I used to lived

00:13:03.885 --> 00:13:05.943
called "El Dorado"

00:13:05.943 --> 00:13:08.110
was a very humble neighborhood, really small

00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:10.804
in comparasion of living in a big metropolis such as Buenos Aires

00:13:10.804 --> 00:13:13.006
it was shocking

00:13:14.809 --> 00:13:17.647
after a while, living in Buenos Aires

00:13:17.647 --> 00:13:20.588
I started to research about native peoples

00:13:20.588 --> 00:13:24.548
but it was just a matter of interest

00:13:24.548 --> 00:13:28.390
I wanted to know what they thought, I even spoke in past tense

00:13:28.390 --> 00:13:31.148
what they believed, what they had in mind

00:13:31.786 --> 00:13:34.196
and when I was finding out a little more

00:13:34.196 --> 00:13:37.087
I realize that there were some things of native peoples

00:13:37.718 --> 00:13:40.324
that were not wrote in the books

00:13:40.324 --> 00:13:43.684
and even the people would tell you about native peoples and there were missing things

00:13:43.715 --> 00:13:48.140
so, because I always traveled to Misiones

00:13:48.140 --> 00:13:50.800
at least, two or three times a year I do

00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:52.940
because a spiritual need, I could say

00:13:52.940 --> 00:13:55.663
I need to intern myself a while in the mount

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

00:14:00.261 --> 00:14:02.640
so, I took my bag and went

00:14:02.640 --> 00:14:04.812
I got into the community, I introduce myself

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:06.698
I was welcome

00:14:06.698 --> 00:14:09.742
a community called Yeyé, wich in spanish means Palmitos

00:14:09.762 --> 00:14:13.053
obviously my head made a terrible turn because

00:14:13.053 --> 00:14:16.641
I found that there was lots more about this matter

00:14:16.641 --> 00:14:18.407
- and because is you -

00:14:21.638 --> 00:14:26.293
I think I was more interested in activism, see more about this peoples

00:14:26.293 --> 00:14:28.941
I wanted to get involved more in this subject

00:14:28.941 --> 00:14:31.903
and I start to take part, to connect with the people that was

00:14:31.903 --> 00:14:35.239
in the most political part, if you want to say it

00:14:35.239 --> 00:14:40.705
or more specific claims as the land issue, the security issue

00:14:40.705 --> 00:14:44.454
health issues, this a bit more... serious

00:14:44.454 --> 00:14:48.374
I think we should also have a spiritual independence

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

00:14:53.578 --> 00:14:56.771
what they are doing, I would called it spiritual terrorism

00:14:57.356 --> 00:15:03.514
And at the time, my mother asked me, what I was doing with the indigenous matters

00:15:03.514 --> 00:15:07.433
Because I knew she had her bad... her experience from what the 76's dictatorship was

00:15:07.433 --> 00:15:10.982
I didn't want to tell her a lot, not to scare

00:15:10.982 --> 00:15:15.617
and I told her: look, most of them, are cultural activities

00:15:15.617 --> 00:15:17.791
we talk about indigenous customs

00:15:17.791 --> 00:15:22.720
And she said to me: I asked you, because the parents of your grandmother were indigenous

00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:27.771
And I say to her: are you telling me that part of my blood is indigenous?

00:15:27.771 --> 00:15:33.062
and she said: yes, your grandmother and her parents were indigenous, from Guaranies

00:15:33.062 --> 00:15:38.070
So... i was someone searching something that already had

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

00:15:47.098 --> 00:15:52.385
I'm Argentinian, born here in Argentina, but my mother and father are Bolivian.

00:15:52.385 --> 00:15:58.091
I'm Pedro, Pedro, just Pedro, another one in this world

00:15:59.229 --> 00:16:04.267
Something happend to me that unfortunately happens to everybody in the life,

00:16:04.267 --> 00:16:06.765
my mother gone, died.

00:16:06.765 --> 00:16:13.895
Being walking and remembering I had a very deep and personal question:

00:16:13.895 --> 00:16:20.046
How do I continued the relationship between my mother and I after that?

00:16:22.061 --> 00:16:27.947
Amazingly in the middle of the hills I was walking around and kicking stones

00:16:27.947 --> 00:16:32.752
I think I gave myself the best answer to my own question

00:16:32.752 --> 00:16:36.735
why not do what she always did?

00:16:36.735 --> 00:16:43.036
Why not to continue with the things she did... in the way she walked?

00:16:43.036 --> 00:16:49.170
and then I remembered that she had never left, since I have memory,

00:16:49.170 --> 00:16:52.105
to make her ceremony to Mother Earth.

00:16:53.521 --> 00:16:56.787
So instead of closing my door because I was a little more alone,

00:16:56.787 --> 00:17:01.356
I opened my door and there began to come kids from the neighborhood

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

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:17.644
and I was thinking how I would continue the way of my mother about their culture

00:17:17.644 --> 00:17:20.551
and their traditions and their cosmovision...

00:17:20.551 --> 00:17:26.277
And in that time i told to the kids that were coming there:

00:17:26.277 --> 00:17:33.422
look, is about 1 August and I wanted to do a ceremony for Mother Earth

00:17:34.129 --> 00:17:38.404
and logical kids when they are young, they have no prejudice

00:17:38.404 --> 00:17:41.450
They said, what is it?. I tell them we will make a meal,

00:17:41.450 --> 00:17:45.385
we will share with each otjer and we will make an offering to Mother Earth

00:17:45.477 --> 00:17:48.079
and the kids said: yeah, yeah let's do, let's do

00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:53.174
and this was the begging of my cultural roots rescue's story

00:18:11.115 --> 00:18:14.877
This library began more or less in the early 90's.

00:18:14.877 --> 00:18:21.236
At first it was on that corner, a pile of books and magazines with papers

00:18:21.236 --> 00:18:26.312
and a group of guys with who we started doing crafts,

00:18:26.312 --> 00:18:30.758
I wasn't a craftsman either, I didn't know, but trying to entertain them

00:18:30.758 --> 00:18:34.774
and give them something they could use and that they could be helpful with,

00:18:34.774 --> 00:18:40.217
I started to learn, and that makes us appreciate all that surrounds us

00:18:40.217 --> 00:18:44.194
and that's what today I would say from the small library

00:18:44.286 --> 00:18:49.051
that yes, in part I humbly think, I'm succeeding, to convey that,

00:18:49.051 --> 00:18:51.947
to show the world view of indigenous peoples.

00:18:56.322 --> 00:18:58.132
Teach this, show this

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,

00:19:03.179 --> 00:19:05.530
but sometimes older people comes too

00:19:05.530 --> 00:19:09.800
and talking about this, perhaps is a way I might...

00:19:09.800 --> 00:19:13.787
or I tell them how myself now, older, I start to realize this,

00:19:13.787 --> 00:19:19.869
and they begin to think back, to remember their parents, their grandparents

00:19:19.869 --> 00:19:22.354
and they start to recover their identity.

00:19:41.892 --> 00:19:43.284
One day, at the University of

00:19:43.923 --> 00:19:47.137
I studied at the University of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo

00:19:47.137 --> 00:19:49.926
and one day a colleague told me about this and the following Saturday we came

00:19:49.926 --> 00:19:54.605
That was almost a year ago, in March 2010

00:19:54.605 --> 00:19:58.219
and then I came and well ... and I could not go

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

00:20:07.116 --> 00:20:10.287
The oldest do not understand yet.

00:20:10.287 --> 00:20:14.379
is contradictory because they keep traditions of indigenous culture,

00:20:14.379 --> 00:20:21.401
even though this pierced by Catholicism, retain several things that

00:20:21.401 --> 00:20:28.493
perhaps unknowingly ... and being the closest to that

00:20:28.493 --> 00:20:31.519
and like that, maybe they do not understand sometimes

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:35.597
the younger, cousins or uncles they do realize

00:20:35.597 --> 00:20:38.146
because the place is very strong,

00:20:38.146 --> 00:20:43.778
I mean, not only the nature or being facing to something so disgusting like these

00:20:43.778 --> 00:20:47.701
is mostly connected with the history of the place,

00:20:47.701 --> 00:20:55.011
and without being esoteric mysticism or anything, it feels,

00:20:55.011 --> 00:20:57.379
There is an energy in the place

00:21:04.027 --> 00:21:07.498
We try to take only what is on the surface

00:21:07.498 --> 00:21:10.096
what is kind of burried we don´t take it out

00:21:10.096 --> 00:21:13.218
but the reality is that after the water comes and takes it all.

00:21:13.218 --> 00:21:17.692
When this gets lower you can walk around

00:21:17.692 --> 00:21:19.817
Here I am seeing a lot more of pieces

00:21:27.632 --> 00:21:31.020
There are plenty. See beneath the landfill

00:21:31.020 --> 00:21:34.183
Yes, some people calls me Pablo, the indian

00:21:34.183 --> 00:21:39.690
About ten years now that I am participate in an alternative media, Indymedia

00:21:39.690 --> 00:21:43.124
working with news of native people.

00:21:47.586 --> 00:21:52.246
What we are asking is that this part of the lands that were sold

00:21:52.246 --> 00:21:55.998
make a reversal of entrepreneurship of the private neighborhood

00:21:55.998 --> 00:22:00.337
to remain as a public space which claims to indigenous peoples,

00:22:00.337 --> 00:22:03.494
to protect archaeological remains that are in this place,

00:22:03.494 --> 00:22:09.173
remaining open place to use as it has been used for decades

00:22:09.173 --> 00:22:12.859
This will mean to make the first claim to the indigenous peoples of Buenos Aires

00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:15.509
rigjt outside of the Capital.

00:22:16.663 --> 00:22:20.677
We are trying to make is that, by retrieving this place, it begins to speak,

00:22:20.677 --> 00:22:23.422
serve as a trigger to think Buenos Aires in other ways

00:22:23.422 --> 00:22:28.118
to raise awareness throug all the population living in Buenos Aires

00:22:28.118 --> 00:22:33.622
that the history of this place is not what we have been taught since childhood.

00:22:33.622 --> 00:22:37.805
Where is Pablich? ... Pablich ...

00:22:38.928 --> 00:22:47.040
New shirt, new shoes, hairstyle, tie, trousers, they have everything

00:22:47.040 --> 00:22:52.882
They arrived when the machines began to build that

00:22:52.882 --> 00:22:55.504
and after, the peole came

00:22:57.612 --> 00:23:01.351
the people who speaks english and live inside

00:23:01.499 --> 00:23:05.368
They are yankees priest from Arizona.

00:23:05.368 --> 00:23:10.564
I think is a paradox how the come

00:23:10.564 --> 00:23:14.648
500 years ago they came with the cross and the sword from Spain

00:23:14.648 --> 00:23:21.016
and today, the come with the bulldozers and the cross from United States

00:23:21.016 --> 00:23:22.934
in versions of those places

00:23:25.088 --> 00:23:27.676
Is the same history, like a spanish poet said

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"

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,

00:23:36.384 --> 00:23:39.505
the voice of the vanquished, supposedly

00:23:39.505 --> 00:23:42.813
that slowly is beginning to be heard

00:23:42.813 --> 00:23:45.111
and to be visible

00:23:53.522 --> 00:23:58.668
[singing] The days are passing, the nights are going

00:24:04.553 --> 00:24:10.472
[singing] The days are passing, the nights are going

00:24:10.472 --> 00:24:16.170
[singing] my youth fading like flowers of the field

00:24:16.170 --> 00:24:21.842
[singing] Oh, I am so sad, I feel like crying

00:24:21.842 --> 00:24:27.769
[singing] remembering those moments that we were very happy

00:24:27.769 --> 00:24:33.847
[singing] Oh, I am so sad, I feel like crying

00:24:33.847 --> 00:24:39.479
[singing] remembering those moments that we were very happy

00:24:39.479 --> 00:24:43.873
[singing] they say, say, say that you want me

00:24:43.873 --> 00:24:48.171
[singing] they say, say, say that you love me

00:24:48.171 --> 00:24:52.409
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t kiss me?

00:24:52.409 --> 00:24:56.631
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t hug me?

00:24:56.631 --> 00:25:00.903
[singing] they say, say, say that you want me

00:25:00.903 --> 00:25:05.101
[singing] they say, say, say that you love me

00:25:05.101 --> 00:25:09.056
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t kiss me?

00:25:09.056 --> 00:25:13.421
[singing] If you want me, why you don´t hug me?

00:25:21.615 --> 00:25:24.852
I listened to folk music

00:25:24.852 --> 00:25:28.762
and after that I started to listen and play Sikus

00:25:28.762 --> 00:25:30.568
traditional music (from the Andes)

00:25:30.568 --> 00:25:33.875
and in this moment I realized

00:25:33.875 --> 00:25:37.321
the function, the funcionality of the music

00:25:37.321 --> 00:25:39.579
the reason of the music

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:42.985
of the origin of the music in the different cultures

00:25:42.985 --> 00:25:44.655
[Sing in Quechua] Lloqo lloqo qollunxa

00:25:44.655 --> 00:25:47.010
[Sing in Quechua] waki wawa llupt'añan

00:25:47.010 --> 00:25:49.799
[Sing in Quechua] Lloqo lloqo qollunxa

00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:51.955
[Sing in Quechua] waki wawa llupt'añan

00:25:51.955 --> 00:25:55.194
[Sing in Quechua] ukataki atipxayasipxasma

00:25:55.194 --> 00:25:59.041
[Sing in Quechua] ukataki atipxayasipxasma

00:25:59.041 --> 00:26:02.425
This is the important thing, the interrelation between people

00:26:02.425 --> 00:26:06.295
the interrelation between the differents voices of the instrument

00:26:06.295 --> 00:26:08.733
and singing in group

00:26:08.733 --> 00:26:12.750
this is... what also

00:26:12.750 --> 00:26:16.589
when you start to do it, to share it, to experience it

00:26:16.589 --> 00:26:17.574
you feel it

00:26:17.574 --> 00:26:19.966
one thing is to play alone

00:26:19.966 --> 00:26:21.127
triying to cover one song

00:26:21.127 --> 00:26:22.742
and another different thing it's to play all togheter

00:26:28.025 --> 00:26:30.734
I listen to Heavy Metal since I have 12 years

00:26:30.734 --> 00:26:33.266
is a music that accompanied me throughout adolescence

00:26:33.266 --> 00:26:36.290
throughout this period of rebellion...

00:26:36.290 --> 00:26:38.904
¿how do you say?

00:26:38.904 --> 00:26:40.020
of craziness

00:26:40.020 --> 00:26:41.799
always accompanied with the Heavy Metal

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

00:26:45.116 --> 00:26:49.168
[music] I miss the rock, in the blood

00:26:49.168 --> 00:26:52.756
[music] I miss the rock, in the blood

00:26:52.756 --> 00:26:56.449
[music] I miss the rock, in the blood

00:26:57.818 --> 00:26:59.361
When I started with the indigenous militancy

00:26:59.361 --> 00:27:01.674
i continue with my...

00:27:02.844 --> 00:27:04.926
listen to the same music

00:27:04.926 --> 00:27:07.104
then something appears in my life way

00:27:07.104 --> 00:27:13.024
I'm going to be a militant indigenous that renounced to his musical preferences

00:27:13.024 --> 00:27:16.561
or I'm going to be a heavy metal that renounced to his roots

00:27:16.561 --> 00:27:18.227
I had this dilemma

00:27:18.227 --> 00:27:20.568
then i said: no, why I can't do not both?

00:27:20.568 --> 00:27:22.689
and I proposed the idea

00:27:22.689 --> 00:27:25.223
I want to make a band like this, going to have a lot from indigenous peoples

00:27:25.223 --> 00:27:27.484
going to be a lot of words from the indigenous peoples

00:27:27.484 --> 00:27:29.684
lot of message from the indigenous people

00:27:29.684 --> 00:27:31.571
and well ... Charlie looked at me as he is saying to say: What!?

00:27:31.571 --> 00:27:33.186
¡¿What you want to do?!

00:27:33.186 --> 00:27:36.543
and I proposed the name

00:27:36.543 --> 00:27:39.482
[singing] Good night

00:27:39.482 --> 00:27:41.045
[singing] this is

00:27:41.045 --> 00:27:44.844
[singing] XON-DA-RO

00:27:49.249 --> 00:27:53.985
Xondaros was, or still are, the protectors of the communities

00:27:53.985 --> 00:27:57.370
they are communities physical and spiritual protectors

00:27:59.170 --> 00:28:02.524
[singing] They can not defeat me

00:28:04.979 --> 00:28:07.676
Obviously we did not invent anything

00:28:07.676 --> 00:28:10.782
There are many bands that take indigenous issues in his lyrics

00:28:10.782 --> 00:28:12.821
maybe the change we do is:

00:28:12.821 --> 00:28:17.083
the present and the future of the indigenous message

00:28:17.083 --> 00:28:19.110
My thing is heavy metal

00:28:19.110 --> 00:28:20.932
is what I like to do

00:28:23.347 --> 00:28:25.775
everyone, every person

00:28:25.775 --> 00:28:26.715
in his own place

00:28:26.715 --> 00:28:29.348
have to do his own fight

00:28:29.348 --> 00:28:33.088
some with music, another with writing, another through journalism

00:28:33.088 --> 00:28:35.041
in the schools

00:28:35.041 --> 00:28:38.863
everyone has to let out the fight that we have inside

00:28:38.863 --> 00:28:40.562
from that place

00:28:40.562 --> 00:28:43.481
So we can say that from there we go shooting

00:28:43.481 --> 00:28:45.389
is our strength

00:28:53.272 --> 00:28:55.904
- She, the weaver

00:28:55.904 --> 00:29:00.392
- wakes up when is still night

00:29:00.392 --> 00:29:03.596
- like if she's listening the sound of the day

00:29:03.596 --> 00:29:08.877
- then, picks up a clear strand and passes it

00:29:08.877 --> 00:29:11.157
- between this threads

00:29:11.157 --> 00:29:15.737
- Quickly the first line of light on the horizon is draw

00:31:19.152 --> 00:31:22.505
In Punta Querandí began to spread the rumor that it was

00:31:22.505 --> 00:31:25.760
an indigenous cemetery that was to be destroyed by a private neighborhood

00:31:25.760 --> 00:31:29.656
from that point, seeing that the authorities that had to protect this place

00:31:29.656 --> 00:31:31.357
didn't do it

00:31:31.357 --> 00:31:33.737
Starts an organization called

00:31:33.737 --> 00:31:36.022
Movimiento en Defensa de la Pacha

00:31:36.022 --> 00:31:39.204
composed by indigenous, environmentalists, journalists, neighbors...

00:31:39.204 --> 00:31:43.062
a confluence of very important parts

00:31:50.328 --> 00:31:52.198
I was learning in this way

00:31:52.198 --> 00:31:54.454
that everything around me

00:31:54.454 --> 00:31:56.434
everything with which I fed

00:31:56.434 --> 00:31:58.287
everything with which I heal

00:31:58.287 --> 00:32:02.431
even with the clothes I usually wear

00:32:02.431 --> 00:32:04.696
was coming from the earth

00:32:04.696 --> 00:32:07.571
when we have the concept is easy to understand

00:32:07.571 --> 00:32:09.769
that we are children of the Pacha (Pachamama)

00:32:09.769 --> 00:32:12.346
and we are all brothers

00:32:13.515 --> 00:32:16.133
For me what unites

00:32:16.133 --> 00:32:18.019
the cultures in the wolrd

00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:24.249
is the feeling of love for the earth

00:32:24.249 --> 00:32:29.230
the respect to the space where we are

00:32:38.584 --> 00:32:40.768
Ancestral peoples are now returning

00:32:40.768 --> 00:32:42.297
to their territory

00:32:42.297 --> 00:32:44.687
they not die, they are, they are still here

00:32:44.687 --> 00:32:46.726
they are pushing us

00:32:49.034 --> 00:32:53.368
Our Grandparents have been watching the movements of the universe

00:32:53.368 --> 00:32:56.611
they have seen cycles of five centuries

00:32:56.611 --> 00:32:59.292
now it's begining a movement ...

00:32:59.292 --> 00:33:01.047
in a global level

00:33:01.047 --> 00:33:05.884
that is making that the knowledge of the ancient cultures are gaining more space

00:33:07.053 --> 00:33:10.088
Pacha Kuti happens every 500 years

00:33:10.088 --> 00:33:14.995
Pacha means cosmos, universe, mother earth

00:33:14.995 --> 00:33:19.565
Kuti means to return, go back, change ...

00:33:20.657 --> 00:33:23.055
I am very happy with what is happening in South America

00:33:23.055 --> 00:33:27.339
I like that my generation, and people a little older than me,

00:33:27.339 --> 00:33:29.517
we are preparing this way

00:33:29.517 --> 00:33:31.410
very hard times are coming, very nasty times

00:33:31.410 --> 00:33:34.325
but also some very strong times at some level...

00:33:34.325 --> 00:33:35.860
at a earth level we can say

00:33:35.860 --> 00:33:38.774
at Abya Yala level, the new world

00:33:38.774 --> 00:33:41.787
It's like we are looking inside for this equilibrium

00:33:41.787 --> 00:33:44.422
also for the outside does not?

00:33:44.422 --> 00:33:47.725
Indigenous people always speak of cyclic life

00:33:47.725 --> 00:33:49.283
always cyclic life

00:33:49.283 --> 00:33:50.588
begins and ends, begins and ends

00:33:50.588 --> 00:33:52.048
Circular life

00:33:52.048 --> 00:33:54.043
And we go back to that point again

00:33:54.043 --> 00:33:56.571
going through the best of times, apparent

00:33:56.571 --> 00:33:58.839
and returning to that situation

00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:04.609
in which we will recover our natural living

00:34:04.609 --> 00:34:07.279
between man and nature

00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.014
and equilibrium in all concepts

00:34:10.014 --> 00:34:14.011
dynamic, electrodynamic, cultural, life ...

00:34:14.011 --> 00:34:16.891
We know we are planting a seed here

00:34:16.891 --> 00:34:19.116
I'm positive that there is no turning back

00:34:19.116 --> 00:34:21.339
will be another balance of power

00:34:21.339 --> 00:34:24.513
You see that there are more and more people

00:34:24.513 --> 00:34:27.244
working for equilibrium

00:34:27.244 --> 00:34:30.141
It's a phenomenon, there is a revaluation

00:34:30.141 --> 00:34:32.020
and I bet to this revaluation

00:34:32.020 --> 00:34:34.205
we can create a more conscious society

00:34:34.205 --> 00:34:36.160
we can

00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:39.437
We began to start giving more value

00:34:39.437 --> 00:34:42.602
to a corn than to a gold ring

00:34:42.602 --> 00:34:45.924
overturning that value, that economic system

00:34:45.924 --> 00:34:48.113
of value, money and gold

00:34:48.113 --> 00:34:53.256
Big part of that essence is still inside of many people

00:34:53.256 --> 00:34:56.409
it's inside the persons

00:34:56.409 --> 00:34:58.282
is just to assume the responsability

00:34:58.282 --> 00:35:02.156
return to a relationship with nature

00:35:02.156 --> 00:35:06.080
And that love for the earth, to the universe

00:35:06.080 --> 00:35:11.056
is the love to yourself, and to everything

00:35:11.056 --> 00:35:13.701
We are all in that way

00:35:13.701 --> 00:35:16.526
there is some people, that still fail to realize

00:35:16.526 --> 00:35:20.449
but someday, with consciousness, as they said the grandparents

00:35:20.449 --> 00:35:22.069
or by pain

00:35:22.069 --> 00:35:23.994
they will begin to realize

00:35:23.994 --> 00:35:26.741
¡¡JALLALLA JALLALLA TATA INTI!!

00:35:26.741 --> 00:35:29.995

¡¡JALLALLA JALLALLA TATA INTI!!
