What we can learn from indigenous communities with Nina Gualinga - Episode 6
Update: 2020-12-29
Description
Having a Swedish father and an Ecuadorian mother, activist Nina Gualinga grew up between two cultures. She feels it is her duty to bridge those worlds — the western and the indigenous — and to protect the Amazon rainforest where she spent most of her childhood. Nina is now the indigenous woman leader of the Kichwa community of Sarayaku in the Ecuadorian Amazon. During the past years, she’s seen firsthand how indigenous lives and territories have been threatened by the government and corporations. Indigenous people for generations have also safeguarded biodiversity for the welfare of the whole planet. The global pandemic has made their struggle even worse. In this episode Nina talks about her fight for justice, being a single mother, and deciding to speak up about the physical abuse that she suffered from her son’s father.
