Sara Imilmaqui Aguas and the Bio Bio River
Sara Imilmaqui Aguas, in addition to singing at the Sacred Media conference, gave a focused presentation on the efforts of her people (the Mapuche) to stop the damming of the Bio Bio River for a massive hydroelectric project in Chile. Most of us at the conference (coming from many countries all over the world) signed a letter to the president of Chile protesting this project, but my hunch is that other actions need to be taken as well. The International Rivers Network has some useful ideas on their website about this particular effort.
