Walking the territory
to take care of life
Quillasinga Indigenous People
A filmmaking by Quillasinga Indigenous Reservation Refugio del Sol and the School of Communications Los Chasquis Guardians of Memory
The Quillasinga who walks the territory is the living memory of the territory. We walk to know and learn from the wisdom of the elders, we walk to listen to the voice of the earth and learn from it to guide our way. When we walk we recreate the ancestral wisdom of the spiritual beings that populated the territory. Therefore, if we do not walk the territory, we disconnect the spirit of life and walk with borrowed thoughts. To walk the territory is to walk life, and life is what is not named with spirit.

A filmmaking by Camaritagua Indigenous Reserve
