We will be hosting Ángel Kú and Valiana Aguilar, two compañeros from
the Center for Encounters and Intercultural Dialogues and the
Universidad de la Tierra, Oaxaca for a conversatorio on Indigenous
autonomy.
They will be traveling throughout California to share
information about Indigenous autonomy and community self-determination
across Mexico but especially in Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Yucatán. They will
provide important updates about the current initiative of the Congreso
Nacional Indígena (CNI) and the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación
Nacional (EZLN), especially their effort to support the CNI’s Consejo
Indígena de Gobierno’s spokesperson, María de Jesús Patricio
Martínez, (Marichuy) and her effort to enter the national election as
an official candidate.
Finally, we will be informed about the current
autonomous efforts to rebuild communities impacted by the hurricane and
earthquake in Oaxaca’s Isthmus.
