Kitu-Kara Indigenous Geographer, Urban Planner, and Amazonia Advocate

I am a Kitu-Kara Native woman from Nayón-Ecuador, a geographer researcher, and planner practitioner. I collaborate with Indigenous communities and organizations that pursue decolonizing action to revitalize and protect Indigenous knowledge systems. My previous work focused on Indigenous geographies and regional planning in Ecuadorian Amazonia. Working in the Indigenous Amazonia with the Kichwa Nation has inspired my collaborative work to support territoriality and political representation processes since 2010. I have also participated in international collaborations for Geographical Assessments in Indigenous and Afro-Latin descent Politics of Territorial Rights and Autonomy in Bolivia, Colombia, and Brazil and planning studios in informal areas of the Dominican Republic and Mexico.
