Bolivia : Indigenous Communities and Helping Bloggers

11:00 H | Topics: Activism - Blogs - Bolivia - Internet - Language - Politics

Al-Jazeera has a really interesting video story about the struggles of the Indigenous communities against land/power owning mestizos and those of European descent.

I do have to question the choice of the opening sequence of the statue ripping out the heart of a European. Seems like the story is trying to link the current struggle as a continuation of a long history.

Speaking of struggles to survive and trying to continue movements, some Bolivian bloggers are trying to raise funds to continue their work, Voces Bolivianas is selling macbook sleeve covers done in traditional aguayo textile with a fleece lining.
These covers will set you apart and make you feel good about helping at the same time.
