I think people from the outside, who we call “cowori,” are people who know less about the forest. And therefore, they do not care about life in the forest. They do not care about the spiritual life, they do not care about the life as we have lived it, connected for thousands of years, respecting mother Earth. That’s why I think it’s important for me as a woman, as a young woman, I have learned that cowori think that technology and development are better, but they have no awareness that at the same time they are destroying the planet.
Yo pienso que la gente de afuera, como decimos nosotras como mujeres indígenas, que son gente cowori, conoce menos la selva, por eso a ellos no les importa la vida de la selva, no les importa la vida de lo espiritual, no les importa cómo nosotros vivimos conectados por miles de años respetando la madre tierra, Por eso, es importante ese aprendizaje que como mujer joven he aprendido que la vida que los cowori piensan que es mejor, con la tecnología y el desarrollo, pero no tienen conciencia de que a la vez están destruyendo el planeta.
