🚨 AVISO!
Las organizaciones indígenas Waorani de Pastaza(OWAP), Nación Siekopaai y A’i Cofán de Sinangoe exigen al @Educacion_Ec , a la @SEIBEec y a la @Vice_Ec el cumplimiento inmediato de los acuerdos establecidos el pasado 10 de abril para avanzar en la implementación de sus Proyectos Educativos Comunitarios (PEC).
La falta de acción y coordinación institucional mantiene bloqueado el registro formal de los tejidos curriculares de estas nacionalidades. Además, la mesa técnica prevista para el 14 de mayo en Arajuno fue CANCELADA sin ningún oficio formal.
Se exige:
▪️ Respuestas oficiales sobre los acuerdos incumplidos
▪️ Convocatorias formales a las mesas técnicas
▪️ Coordinación inmediata con los analistas de la SEIBE
▪️ El fin de las dilaciones en el proceso educativo intercultural
La educación propia es un derecho!

Yesterday, #Ecuador approved a new mining law that fast-tracks extraction while weakening environmental oversight and #IndigenousRights.
The future of the #Amazon — and the climate stability it protects — is at stake.

Indigenous-led education is already underway in the Amazon. Now #Ecuador’s @Educacion_Ec must formally register these models & allocate the budget and capacity they require.
The right exists since 1988. Political will must follow.

Indigenous education is a powerful act of decolonization — and a frontline defense of the rainforest and the global climate.
We’re honored to support this work alongside these nations and the Ceibo Alliance @alianzaceibo.

#LandBack in the #Amazon isn’t only about redressing a historical injustice — it’s about reclaiming Indigenous peoples’ right to thrive.
Across the region, tens of millions of hectares of ancestral #IndigenousTerritories have been illegally claimed, exposing them to expolation 👇

...by governments and extractive industries.
Together with our Indigenous partners, we’re using innovative community-led mapping and bold legal strategies to challenge colonial systems and remove the barriers that block the formal recognition of ancestral lands.

🪈For #Siekopai children, pride in ancestral culture is nurtured through music, tradition, and learning from elders. Playing traditional flutes is more than sound—it’s identity, memory, and wisdom passed between generations.
