Indigeneity: Global Transitions. Indigeneity as global phenomena, is rooted in its concepts of integral land and their ecologies. In the last two centuries, global transitions have brought several shifts in the concept and episteme of indigenous.

The ecology of the Black Female Body, Indigeneity, and sacred space of Water. Dr. Vanessa Leon Leon, Researcher at the College of Social Sciences and Humanities, Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL)
Decoloniality and Refusal in the Pacific Coast of Ecuador In the Pacific coast of Ecuador, decolonial tourism practices uphold traditional indigenous values and collective property needs. At the same time, the refusal of a fixed identity deconstructs perspectives structuring an “Indigenous” identity.

Dr. Veisaga is Quechua from Bolivia and her research focuses on the chemical properties of medicinal plants.
