Meet the Yaku Mama Flotilla: First Nations initiating their journey from the Cayambe Volcano in Ecuador into the rivers of Amazon toward COP30 in Belém, Brazil, carrying messages of resistance, climate solutions, hope and demands from the territories.
Along the journey, Seeding Sovereignty is there to collaborate with territorial organizations to train women and girls to use drones for storytelling, mapping, and documentation. These efforts will support vital communities, territorial guardians, and land defenders.
Indigenous women leading this flotilla are coming together to protect mother Earth and life. Indigenous women are ten times more likely than the national average person in Abya Yala (Americas) to experience violence: where there is mining and extractivism there are assaults against the land and bodies.
Indigenous women and their experiences go far beyond the statistics. Through the Yaku Mama Flotilla they are reclaiming their stories and taking direct action against colonial, violent, and ecologically destructive forces.
