I discovered I was indigenous and made history in Argentina

Available for over a year

Moira Millán is an indigenous Mapuche activist who has led her people's struggle for rights and representation. But as a child she had no idea of her ancestral roots. She was sent to a Christian missionary training school, but an encounter with a stranger challenged the very core of who she thought she was. She returned to found her own Mapuche community, and ended up travelling the length and breadth of Argentina for almost three years to bring 36 indigenous groups together for the first ever indigenous women's march on the capital.
