Description: From the depths of the past the ancestors emerge, awakening knowledge in our memory. This knowledge cultivated over thousands of years during our Indigenous cultural process, replaced by new colonial models, is reemerging. The symbolism represents a wise astronomer that for countless starry nights observed the cosmos. Today this ancestor’s wisdom gives necessary guidance to reconstruct the lost natural order of life.
