** 6 Things to Do on
International Indigenous Women's Day
------------------------------------------------------------
September 5 is the International Day of Indigenous Women commemorated in honor of Aymara warrior Bartolina Sisa who in 1780, along with her husband Túpac Katari, led an important part of the Aymara-Quechua rebellion against the exploitation and abuse of Spanish colonizers in Peru.

While too many women all over the world are still affected by violence and rights abuses, it is important to recognize the amazing work Indigenous women are doing to make change happen.

Aimee Roberson (Choctaw and Chickasaw), Cultural Survival Executive Director, says, "On International Indigenous Women’s Day and every day, we honor and celebrate Indigenous women and the important roles they fulfill, including bringing forth life, continually caring for our communities, and keeping our lifeways and languages alive. Indigenous women are also at the forefront of defending our rights and taking up our responsibilities to steward and defend Mother Earth’s lands and waters. We are movement builders and system shakers, working towards a transformative, equitable, and just future for all our relations. Stand with us in solidarity, and join us in honoring, uplifting, and resourcing Indigenous women's leadership ([link removed]) , so that next year we will have even more to celebrate!”

El 5 de septiembre es el Día Internacional de la Mujer Indígena que se conmemora en honor a la guerrera aymara Bartolina Sisa quien en 1780, junto a su esposo Túpac Katari, encabezó una parte importante de la rebelión aymara-quechua contra la explotación y abuso de los colonizadores españoles en el Perú.

Si bien muchas mujeres en todo el mundo todavía se ven afectadas por la violencia y los abusos de derechos, es importante reconocer el increíble trabajo que están haciendo las mujeres Indígenas para lograr cambios.

Aimee Roberson (Choctaw y Chickasaw), nuestra Directora Ejecutiva en Cultural Survival, nos dice hoy: "En el Día Internacional de la Mujer Indígena y todos los días, honramos y celebramos a las mujeres Indígenas y los importantes roles que cumplen, incluyendo dar vida, cuidar continuamente de nuestras comunidades y mantener vivos nuestros modos de vida e idiomas. Las mujeres Indígenas también están a la vanguardia de la defensa de nuestros derechos y están asumiendo nuestras responsabilidades de administrar, defender las tierras y las aguas de la Madre Tierra. Somos constructoras de movimientos y agitadoras del sistema, trabajamos por un futuro transformador, equitativo y justo para todas nuestras relaciones. ¡Únase a nosotros en solidaridad!. ¡Honre, enaltezca y brinde recursos al liderazgo de las mujeres Indígenas ([link removed]) , para que el próximo año tengamos aún más que celebrar!”
