Episode 20: Indigenous Resistance in Ecuador

<p>In episode 20, I speak to Fredy Grefa, a PhD candidate at the Geography Department of UNC, about the demonstrations in Ecuador. He talks about the Indigenous resistance, leadership, and strategies in the context of the current protests. He speaks to how the Indigenous people organized themselves to lead the people through social movements and alliance building.</p> <p>Link below is for donations which will go to CONAIE via Fredy.</p> <p><a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gofundme.com%2Ff%2Flegal-support-for-conaie%3Futm_medium%3Dcopy_link%26utm_source%3Dcustomer%26utm_campaign%3Dp_lico%2Bshare-sheet&amp;token=ede7c4-1-1604263216331" rel="nofollow ugc" target="_blank" title="https://www.gofundme.com/f/legal-support-for-conaie?utm_medium=copy_link&amp;utm_source=customer&amp;utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet">www.gofundme.com/f/legal-support-…lico+share-sheet</a></p> <p>Indigenous Peoples Day is growing throughout the US but it does restrict Indigenous identities to North America through colonial borders that compartmentalize Indigenous people. We can learn from Indigenous struggles around the world.</p> <p>Produced by me<br> Music by @<a href="https://soundcloud.com/PurpleCatsInSlacks">PurpleCatsInSlacks</a></p> <p>Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!</p>
