Aymara and Maya Philosophies and Epistemologies https:/lacc.fiu.eduevents/2019/aymara-and-maya-philosophies-and-epistemologies/

For Aymaras, we are all relational beings called to live in a pacha, in a specific time and space, to learn how to build and enjoy what we call qamaña, "live well with". In this lecture, you will hear from two knowledgeable speakers, Professor Jimenez Quispe, who will discuss Aymara culutre and language, and from Professor Jose Castillo-Cocom, who will discuss the core of Mayan thinking, iknal.
