"Mother Earth": Video by the Emberá people of Colombia
Where there is an indigenous reserve or there are indigenous people, if there is no traditional medicine, it is all for nothing. If there is no traditional culture and traditional medicine [...] I believe that an indigenous reservation will have no strength. The territory is also very important, because indigenous people without territory are thrown into the air, into the space of capitalism, where one has no room for one's own life, but rather is at the mercy of the system of large-scale exploitation.
