¿Por qué la minería logra avanzar en algunos territorios y en otros encuentra resistencia? En el noroeste argentino, mientras la extracción de litio ya transforma regiones como el salar Cauchari-Olaroz, las comunidades collas y atacamas de Salinas Grandes han conseguido mantenerla fuera de su territorio durante casi dos décadas. En este episodio de “Huellas de Sal” recorremos ambos lugares para comprender las divisiones que genera la minería al interior de las comunidades, y documentar las nuevas amenazas extractivas que afectan la región. En este camino descubrimos que, frente a una presión que no desaparece, habitar el territorio es una forma de defenderlo. Puedes escuchar, descargar y compartir este programa de forma gratuita.

For nearly 200 years, Indigenous journalism has been an important part of Indigenous communities; however, it has only recently gained wider recognition among non-Indigenous communities. This is a key theme in the book Storytelling Sovereignty: Indigenous Peoples and the Media. Storytelling sovereignty is about Indigenous peoples controlling their own narratives. For too long, mainstream media misrepresented these stories. An editor of the book, Dr. Cristina Azocar (Upper Mattaponi),a professor and Chair of Journalism at San Francisco State University, shared with radio program producer, Dev Kumar Sunuwar, during the 2026 Indigenous Media Conference that telling stories from within the community leads to more accurate reporting and gives Indigenous peoples a stronger voice in social and climate justice.

Indigenous journalists are increasingly reporting from dangerous situations, such as land defense, natural disasters, and protests. Their physical, digital, and mental safety has always been a top priority. Tara Gatewood, the director of the International Women’s Media Foundation, shares that assessing risk is deeply connected to traditional Indigenous survival skills.
