[PeDAGoG] [GTA] More than Human Episode 1- The River is Us: A Conversation with Alyen Foning

[Juana Vera Delgado]

Thanks colleagues of Global Tapestry for sharing this invitation.
Sure I will join as I am one who honors and publishes so many articles
related to the cosmology for the "good living" of my ancestors and
indigenous communities where I come from (Andean-Amazon of Peru).

Do we need to subscribe to join the meeting? it seems not, isn't it?

For the next meeting you will organize, I would like to present the
cosmovision of the Andean in relation to water, how we see it as a divinity
and creator of LIVE on earth. My last publication, related to Marañon
River, explains, in part, this:

You can also see the video I did, explaining how indigenous people from
Colca Valley (andes of Peru) honour water: the video is called “Al
Encuentro del Mallku” the water deity in Colca Valley:

Kind regards, and I appreciate your answer in advance.
