Panelists will share how they navigate the boundaries between Indigenous and non-Indigenous worlds in a multilingual panel discussion with several people from Kichwa and Waorani communities of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Two generations of Indigenous people will speak in a combination of English, Spanish, Kichwa, and Wao Terero about their perspectives of future, present, and past. Moderators will translate the webinar to English as much as possible. The webinar will include a discussion about the Andes and Amazon Field School, where students and researchers are invited by Indigenous peoples to co-produce knowledge through exchanges of language, culture, and projects.
