In September, Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) representatives Simone Senogles (Anishinaabe), IEN Food Sovereignty Program Coordinator, and Ozawa Bineshi Albert (Yuchi and Anishinaabe), IEN Movement Building Coordinator and Luz Guerra (Afro-Carribean/Taino), former NISGUA Executive Director and consultant to IEN were honored to join a delegation hosted by NISGUA to Guatemala.

We offer this delegation report-back because we believe that exchange between Indigenous land defenders makes the movement safer and better resourced, and because we know that there can be no movement without Indigenous women at the lead.
