Don't let those watchful "eye" windows deter you from visiting the Casa Payán en Silvia, Colombia. It's a living symbol of the Guambiano (Misak) indigenous cultural resilience. It serves as both a museum for the tourists and a place of meeting and teaching for the indigenous people. Its rounded form echoes the cyclical worldview of the Misak people.

#FirstNations #Misak and campesino leaders have denounced the negative environmental impacts caused by the Irish capitalist multinational company #SmurfitKappa, which produces 11 billion square meters of packaging each year.

In the Cauca region as a form of nonviolent resistance, activists remove the bark from the lower part of the trees making them unusable to the company.
