The role that indigenous peoples and communities play within countries is invaluable. They are not only our history and heritage but they are part of our day-to-day life and the identity we share. It is important to assess our resistance through the years; for what they have and we have fought to be able to be heard and be a fundamental part of an integral development in the human and spiritual. Occupying a necessary role for our survival and respect and love for Pachamama.

On October 12, the indigenous communities, their resistance and struggle, are commemorated. In this last year, since October 11 we also officially celebrate Native Americans. Taking another step towards multicultural admiration on a global level.


October 11: Indigenous Peoples Day on United States


To commemorate the culture and origins of Native Americans, on October 8, 2021, Joe Biden, current president of the United States of America, proclaimed the second Monday of each October as the Day of the Indigenous Peoples. .

Despite the controversy that has been generated, being at the same time “Columbus Day” or also known as “Columbus Day” in English. It is a festival that will bring awareness, visibility and appreciation to the different local communities and cultures. We do not celebrate a “conquest”, we celebrate our efforts, our strength and our future as a culture. Indigenous people are a very important and significant part of the history of each region of the world, safeguarding our future.


October 12: Day of Interculturality and Multinationality

On this day we celebrate the cultural ethnic richness that we have in our roots in Ecuador and the rest of our Andean region. By having more than 14 nationalities and 18 indigenous peoples. Every day we continue to fight so that these communities are truly valued and respected, that anywhere in the world we can feel proud of our Andean legacy.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow for the resistance!
