WITH THE KOFN COMMUNITY OF SINANGOE, WE PRESENTED A NEW CLAIM FOR LAND TITLE THAT SEEKS TO OVERCOME EXISTING ADMINISTRATIVE HURDLES TO TITLING OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' LAND WITHIN NATIONAL PARKS, AND LAUNCHED SINANGOE'S FIRST-EVER TERRITORIAL MAP THAT HAS SERVED AS A BACKBONE TO THEIR LAND TITLING CLAIM. IN PERU, WE SCALED UP MAPPING OF SIEKOPAI TERRITORY AND TARGETED POLICIES THAT WERE HAMPERING CLAIMS TO INDIGENOUS LAND TITLES, PAVING THE ROAD FOR SIEKOPAI COMMUNITIES TO GAIN LEGAL OWNERSHIP OVER THEIR ANCESTRAL TERRITORIES. IN 2022, WE CONTINUED OUR EFFORTS TO TRAIN AND EQUIP COMMUNITY LAND PATROLS WITH HIGH-TECH TOOLS TO DETECT AND GATHER EVIDENCE OF NEW THREATS TO THEIR LANDS WHILE PROVIDING ONGOING MEDICAL AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION TRAINING TO KEEP PATROLS SAFE IN VOLATILE FIELD CONDITIONS.

ADDITIONALLY, WE WORKED WITH THE SIEKOPAI COMMUNITY OF SAN PABLO TO INTEGRATE MEDICINAL PLANT KNOWLEDGE INTO THE OFFICIAL EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM BY ESTABLISHING A COMMUNITY MEDICINAL PLANT GARDEN AND BRINGING IN ELDERS AS TEACHERS TO EDUCATE YOUTH ABOUT TRADITIONAL MEDICINAL PLANTS AND THEIR USES. WE COMPLETED THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO TRADITIONAL LEARNING SPACES, IN THE KOFN COMMUNITY OF AVIE AND THE SIONA COMMUNITY OF BUENAVISTA, WHERE MANY ELDERS ARE STILL PRACTICING HEALING AND SPIRITUAL RITUALS. THESE PRACTICES ARE VITAL TO KEEPING COMMUNITIES HEALTHY AND UNIFIED, AND INDIGENOUS CULTURES ALIVE AND THRIVING. IN 2022, WE CONTINUED HANDS-ON ACCOMPANIMENT FOR FIVE INDIGENOUS WOMEN'S ASSOCIATIONS THAT SUPPORT WOMEN-LED ECONOMIC PROJECTS, INCORPORATE AND REVITALIZE INDIGENOUS CULTURES AND PRACTICES, AND REPOSITION INDIGENOUS WOMEN AS LEADERS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
