Tigre - Partnerships Pedro Moreira is the founder of the Popular Library Huasi Inti, and the Movement for the Defence of Pacha, a group of native peoples of real estate projects defending a sector of land in Dique Luján of Tigre, where he found an archaeological site and a burial ethnicity. This paper recalls the birth of the entities, and explains that the defense of lu gar
is not just for cultural reasons but to protect nature. - How did the move? -late eighties when they were looting (government of Raul Alfonsin) I missed something that was a turning back in my life. My mother died. I took her to Jujuy, because it was her desire to return. Bolivian parents was born there, These dual nationality enriched me, I did see that in the whole area south coya belong to the Inca Empire. I realized that the nationalities are circumstantial, belong to a much wider area. When I went on and I wondered how I found the best answer: why not continue what she was doing, the ceremonies of the Pachamama (Mother Earth), the Inti Raimi (new year) and did it with the family in the neighborhood , with a friend or acquaintance. "There also began to defend the roots ... "With the festival of Pachamama start my awakening, discovering my cultural roots, not only of which I belong. I started to read and study to explain to kids who have no prejudices, and large. As I was acquainted with the cultures I found a wealth that is in any ethnic group. I opened a fan who gave me the opportunity to speak on various topics and any type of brother, from a point of agreement. They spent a lot of people of different political colors, creeds, religious, social levels - What is the main attraction? -Primarily earth. Everyone knows: every day we more expelled, but there is little progress. In the schools himself, begin to question the date (October 12) as a festival. For us there is little point or value that you change the name. - How is it in Punta Canal in Tigre? "It's Punta Canal because the canal, Villanueva, end there. Now we Punta Querandíes renamed it because it is the archaeological site that rescues the anthropologist (referring to Daniel Loponte, National Institute of Anthropology and Latin American Thought) that should take care of that area (highlights the sentence) and how many others are provided for handling and are serving real estate companies in this Eidico case. He confirms reports and notes on who rescued over a thousand-odd pieces of pottery and stone tools and bone: In addition, these wetlands were fishing, animals, plants, food. Posiblementeeran point of encounter and exchange of ethnic groups. The Querandis who were with the Guarani and were semi-nomadic Chamas. For those brothers was a rich area for their survival. But I want to clarify that we defend something which transcends the interests of indigenous peoples, which is the destruction of wetlands. Continue paving the places where biodiversity is recycled, with wildlife, insects - Enterprise, levels of government, no one listens? "We're not a group that wants to confront blindly. The employer or company Eidico, what matters is doing your business. No sense in going to see them, is written in the Constitution of 1994 our right to pre-existence. Quartermaster, government, and not have to worry about the situation or the present, a mayor, a governor, they have to have a look into the future. We all know that land is the nation-state waste, and is now Adif Onabe not meet its obligation. If the state needs to sell, which is not so dark as spurious. We have to respect if nothing else, our sovereignty as citizens, because they are public lands that belong to you, ami, to us and even to those who destroy. - How do you feel that land? "It's not about feelings. In this case, I respect what my mother said. After reading I began to realize the enormous importance given to these holy places, much more when there are burials. Besides that, something that perhaps does not understand Western culture, but care for us death is not fatalistic or terminal that sense, with death begins a new phase of life. When someone leaves his spirits are material turning. It is a form of resurrection or anything like that, are turning back to life otherwise. Land, Pachamama, a plant, a stone, are living beings, then there are our grandparents have deep spiritual significance. - religious significance? "Our people have no religion, everything is related to nature, the stronger the ceremony to Mother Earth or the new year Inti Raymi, the sun, they are not gods, they are part of us and we are the product of them, take something from them. No worship is a spiritual encounter between man and earth, the sun or weather, for that matter. Those of us, we mark the space with a mound of stones, Apacheta, have already been three cairns that were destroyed, covered, crushed. The latter were walking representatives of the company destroyed the mound that grows over time because everyone is making its contribution, with a desire, a problem is a place to download from our dramas and problems. This is where the stones are placed. We believe that the spirits also play a role, everything is interconnected, plants, animals, sun, energy, spirits, we are all part of this world. For us it is an affront to the kick and destroy. - What do you get to land? "I do not want for us, I know there are brothers of the native peoples and many citizens who have nowhere to fall dead. These sites do not want to retrieve a neighborhood, whatever. It would be unconscious because they are critical of companies that fill in wetlands where eventually the water will find its place. There is no other. They have vigorously for the construction, lost to fill. They also said "someone has to be the owner thereof." We have a profound concept so we reject it. We have a community deeply attitude. Everything is all and nothing to anyone in particular. We call it a free for all, for fishing, walking for a while. We are interested in and we know that is very broken-back to what it was naturally. Permanent Link: http://www.sprensalibre.com.ar/index.php?id=3164 perriódico appreciate the courtesy of Prensa Libre
