Today, we are facing a truly difficult situation in the communities and indigenous towns, especially in Patagonia and the north. We are living through terrible times, where the ruthless mind that currently governs seeks to impose its will on our ancestral territories. This attack is not new; our ancestors warned us about it a long time ago.
The recent entry into the Pillán Mahuiza community by external forces has caused shock and pain in our communities. It is essential to remember that we are diverse beings who advocate for harmony and diversity in all aspects. It is crucial to unite, weave bonds, and show solidarity in these unprecedented times.
The intentional fires that have taken place in Patagonia are vile acts perpetrated by those seeking to seize our people's territories. It is essential that we maintain awareness of what is truly at stake: the authoritarian imposition and dispossession of our lands.
Our ancestors have taught us respect for the land and connection with natural elements through ceremony. Fire, for us, is not synonymous with destruction, but with protection and spirituality. It is painful to see how stories of violence and dispossession repeat, reminding us of the atrocities suffered by previous generations.
In moments like these, it is vital to multiply our level of awareness and resistance. We must remember that our life, our history, and our culture hold immeasurable value. We are not thieves, murderers, or terrorists; we are the sons and daughters of this land who deserve respect and recognition.
The Millán family, which has recently been the target of media attacks and repression, has suffered firsthand from violence and the dispossession of their lands. The experience of seeing a father over 80 years old being assaulted by repressive forces is simply unacceptable and reminds us of the brutality we face.
In this context, it is essential to unite as indigenous peoples, weave bonds of solidarity and resistance against the injustice and authoritarianism they attempt to impose. Our voice must be heard, and our struggle must be visible to the whole world. ¡Marichiweu! Our life is valuable, and we will fight to preserve and defend it at all costs.
