She reveals how traditional knowledge, passed down through generations, offers sustainable practices that modern society has forgotten. Sara explores the unique role of indigenous women as keepers of this wisdom and defenders of Mother Earth.

From her groundbreaking position as her region's first female indigenous leader to her influential role in the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities, Sara shows how indigenous leadership is evolving to meet global challenges. She delves into the harsh realities faced by those protecting ancestral lands.
