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.

The webinar will include a discussion about the Andes and Amazon Field School (https://i-spartnerships.com/), where students and researchers are invited by Indigenous peoples to co-produce knowledge through exchanges of language, culture, and projects.
