The
International day of Indigenous Woman
The
indigenous women took part en masse both in the fights for
their land and in the defense of their ethnic group. 5 September
is the International day of the indigenous women, in which
the cruel death of Bartolina Sissa is commemorated in La
Paz, Bolivia. Cacicas, mother t'allas, comandantas, amazons,
combat jacket, virreinas... are the names that received
these indigenous heroines, warriors in the liberation of
their people in the Spanish conquest, and from the foreign
dominion. Some of the most known women are: Anacaona, Gregoria
Apaza, Bartolina Sisa, Kurusa Key, Micaela Bastidas, Huillac
Ñusca, Angata, Janequeo Guacolda, Fresia, Tegualda,
Lorenza Abimañay, Señapanta Rose, Ochoa Daisy,
Baltazara Chiza, Pantoja Daisy, Gaitana, Ague, Ayunga and
many other women who do not appear in books nor in chronicles.
All of them fought to recover the ancestral rights of the
indigenous people.
