The chapter begins with a conceptualization of the theoretical framework and practices espoused by the protagonists and members of the feminist community in both regions. Based on their words, we hear their views on identity formation, the process of becoming conscious of self in relation to one’s social, ethnic, gender, and economic affiliation. Asserting their gendered cultural identity, they emerge as subjects in their own narrative plots and history.

Although seemingly unrelated, the autoethnographic writing of some Indigenous feminists from Latin America questions the assumptions and presuppositions of Western development models and globalization, while asserting an identity as contemporary Indigenous activist women. Drawing on the central ideas developed in the book Indigenous Feminist Narratives: I/We: Wo(men) of An(Other) Way, I reflect on parallels and counterpoints between the voices from the global street movement, “other” epistemologies (identified hereafter), postcolonial theory, and contemporary Indigenous feminist theorization.

Economics is only part of the explanation. In fact, social and cultural factors have had a dramatic impact on the current state of affairs in Ecuador. The country faces many of the challenges evident in other Latin American countries and thus serves as a microcosm of regional development issues. We examine the indigenous movement, economic crisis, rainforest preservation, migration, and other factors affecting sustainable development in Latin America. Given the convergence of these pressing topics in one country, this paper offers a model for an interdisciplinary program that could serve (1) the college population as a miniseminar abroad, or (2) the k–12 teachers endorsement credit option for Area Studies

Secondarily, we examine the question of the value of mother tongue fluency or the acquisition, mastery and usage of the Spanish language in today's international marketplace. Using a qualitative review of current research, we provide some approximations of economic and marketing quantitative determinations of ‘value’ of the language.

Conducted in fall 2016-2018 in English and Spanish (translated to English) in various face-to-face, phone, and email formats, the interviews addressed the main topics of identity, activism, and social change as an Indigenous/Native American woman. The point of departure is identity as self-constructed and articulated and how that shapes activism and efforts toward social justice. The author interviewees are in alphabetical order: Amanda Blackhorse, Juana Batzibal, Antonia Benito, Aura Cumes, Sara Curruchich, Callan Chythlook-Sifsof, Liliana Hernández, Cristina Marin, Irma Velasquez Nimatuj, Davina Smith, Luz Maria de la Torre, Victoria Tubin, Crystal Tulley-Cordova, Eryn Wise, Lucia Xiloj
