Nalá

Overview

Chief Nalá is an urban Indigenous woman representing the Qom community in the San Pedro region of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. For years, she has fought to make Indigenous worldviews visible in her country and believes in interculturalism in education and medicine. Nalá travels to different parts of the region fulfilling her role as an Indigenous leader. On one of her trips, she visits Natalia Hochea, a Comechingón leader from Berrotarán, Córdoba Province. There, they explore the forest and exchange perspectives from the places each inhabits, both geographically and generationally. In the back-and-forth between Nalá's activities in San Pedro and the places she visits, the spaces merge, blurring geographical boundaries.
