no they drive for half an hour through rugged terrain the funeral region of the argentine n.d.s. at an altitude of 3600 meters. in the local language can be translated as high land. the women are traveling to their small family farm located in a region that was settled centuries ago by their ancestors and indigenous people call mccoy. the good. luck in. playing. in the middle of.

their mother gave them the land years ago in a traditional ceremony but they have no whitten record of the transaction the soil in this region seems barren but it's actually quite fertile so it's good for farming. in the loop and everything looks so good all the rows here are some nice carrots when was the last time someone watered here. the few things you can see in hollywood are revealed. delicious but seriously people are going to say i should have washed it best you can tickle me in their beers in the lower.

the llamas are heading out to graze in the pasture now they just point them in the right direction and they go off on their own the llamas will return after sunset. prefers the company of humans. she was rejected by. her mother early on. nelly has 9 children 7 boys and 2 girls. in what in an include they live in and learning anything new and sometimes there's no one there to give them advice why yes he can win i have someone who looks after the youngest boy. otherwise they all just go out and play and they don't eat right and do pretty much whatever they want. and it goes that's why someone tends to the youngest one which i mean when i 1st come out here i really miss them

a lot. nellie and norma and their families also live in and what i know until 2 years ago there was no electricity here. at the local school children whose mothers are away from home are fed and given a place to sleep. eat. eat eat eat. normal has 7 children and a granddaughter jenny. here the parents are performing a ritual that's intended to help the child learn to speak every 2nd and then we. said. well.

well well. that's what we do. when the real comes to elmira you know she stays at norman's place norma misses her sister and would like her to move to the village. but i mean that is my favorite sister i love her very very much the 2 look grew up together and took care of each other from an early age we were inseparable she's the best sister i have absolutely the best. you know more what it meant. but yeah i mean he has a very strong character when for. me when i use music quite different from the rest of us sort of thought that but i only finished the 6th right when my other sisters

finished the 7 the current a mom wanted them to come back to the farm. yeah but maddy had other plans she went out and got a job so that she could and money and continue her education in the city and i don't know what you think. it. was a lot more real inherited some sheep from her mother after she got married she and her husband come by mare flocks they know where a sheep or her mother in law's farm. i think. if they get get get get get get get.

on it that you. know real return to the region when she was 31 after she spent time living in other parts of the country. and human food but it did give you that i left home because i wanted to study and obviously fascinated with life in towns and cities being left you'll be i lived in lowry all. bought want to scientists. and don't see when i was down south in england i met. some of them up to chip people and they kept asking me about my political chatter they thought it was really interesting and wanted to learn more about the ceremonies. i knew all the rituals but i didn't think much about what they meant so it was my experience with them approaches that prompted me

to come back here. i plan to stay for just a month. but i'm still here. and i'll never leave again you may have already. done suffers from a lung disease so high altitude are bad for his health. you know real live 80 kilometers away but the region is her home. here she comes here whenever she can to look after her live stock. is not here her mother in law takes over. here is often on loan on the farm. at night drug smugglers sometimes past her house

while travelling to and from neighboring bolivia. damn near the army only a few days ago they came back. and i was really scared but they were here the day before yesterday to our 4 dogs were barking like crazy. the drug dealers got scared and turned around and i think they had a car and a small truck and a lot often i know this was about midnight illinois don't tell me we saw the car and then the truck came and stopped over there right by the creek ivy and they took coca leaves and some other stuff with them. and we don't know anything about the drug trade. lucy as adult children are often here during the day but she rarely sees her husband. this year marks their 50th wedding anniversary but doesn't feel like celebrating.

the ability at all get along fine for a few days and then we start arguing. it really gets out of hand he would not tell you not that he doesn't bring any supplies with him so i have to make sure that we've got enough food. my husband hardly ever comes out here any more. he doesn't like being with an entire family and is always in a bad marriage. instead he goes off to stay at my son's house my son who is married to maria and then when the money. goes out to bring back the sheep because maria has to go back down to the valley. tonight.

maria is driving 100 kilometers through the cape brought a valley to opera pompa. she's on her way to the monthly meeting of the red co-operative. maria works for the organization for. quite. some time with the co-op was set up by local women to promote trade with their handicrafts. place. the red kona group provides micro credits so that women can buy wool. the co-op also sells the finished products at fair prices to shops throughout argentina. was. the cooperatives work provides an income for 1000 local families. since they have

some money coming and they don't have to move away from their villages to look for work. or women specialize in knitting and weaving and huge traditional patterns. but maria has also taught these skills to her sons. she wants to change some of the old gender roles. and make a good good accordion in korea culture the women do all the work around the house and in the fields. the men often work somewhere else you know i don't know over the years and i've learned that it's important to be true to yourself and not to worry about what others think when you say local women spend all their time helping others they don't do enough for themselves i don't want that i want to enjoy what i do. women have a lot of work to do before but they don't always have a say in what they have to do what market. i might get us in which of course it or

not we are finding for the right to become active members of society and we don't want to spend all our time just working in the kitchen. that's how local people think that if a woman works hard around the house she's a good person. form the local scene and but i believe that i can be a good woman even if i don't do a lot of housework when i when i get the job john i want of course that you're so you know when i get. this is the town of teal cut. the red good a cooperative has an office here. this isn't just a job for maria it's a profession. responsibilities include teaching courses on how to promote equality for women. the organization's handicrafts project is designed primarily to encourage local families to stay on their ancestral lands instead of giving into

the temptation to move to the towns and cities. a lot of young people are leaving this area and their parents aren't doing anything to stop them. because they think that the kids will have a better future somewhere else. young people near the way because the government doesn't have any programs that benefit people in rural communities indigenous people. but. many of the people have already left their land. there have been no burials at this cemetery for quite some time. join and form though it will not be in my opinion the politicians are simply trying

to drive the indigenous people off their land because it will be a it's a very clear strategy you know and i will go particular they have no interest in keeping indigenous people on their land although there's a reason behind this strategy all the projects the government wants to get its hands on the natural resources in this region. that's why they want the people to leave they want to mine the lithium and the salt that's here with their leadership and they don't want the local residents to get in their wife i'm not. going to. get into the red tuna co-operative has its own shop where it sells knitwear made by the call your women. got this couple is visiting from buenos itis. you know. you got me you're not gonna.

kill carter is an attractive town in the kid brother valley and it's popular with tourists. maria's house stands on the edge of town. when she comes home for lunch her husband has the food ready. nanda has trained as a cook but he also helps with the household chores. when the couple's 3 sons come home from school in the afternoon fernando is there to look after them. all this gives maria more time to devote to her work.

norma will spend one more day with her family at the house in el moreno. then she'll head back out to the highlands to work on the family farm. meanwhile nellie's eldest daughter and youngest son stop by for a visit. every day nellie makes cheese from sheep's milk.

the call you people often sacrifice livestock to show their devotion to mother earth. these are dried llama fetuses. who do the. well they're sacred to us but they have healing power them and make our lives better. than most of them make sure that our farm is doing well and that we are doing well the. clear take away our fears. when we sacrifice a fetus to the goddess who provides us with everything we have like he assume we just finished drying 1. 1 with the air and the day before yesterday we started drawing another one it's pretty small of them so much she could be doing seed in there yet.

nellie choose cocoa leaves to help her cope with the thin air at this altitude she enjoys living on the farm much more than being in the village. you nor deny. there are no hills and no fields just the house residence this land belonged to our grandparents when and 10 years ago our mother gave it to us and get them. at sunset when the shadow of the mountain reaches the bottom of the valley the law

must return. norma arrives to round them up for the night. but i would seem to think that that my life on ice farm and everything to me if gore said i'm my own boss and i come and go when i please. with your voice water i look after the sheep early in the day or late local as i do and again it's the best life i could have it.

4. or 5 that want to keep. it. if they see him he even sent for the sending money a. few. feet farther to the sun to. find them to find out. the animals are nervous. there might be

the call you people believe that if someone becomes frightened during the day the spirit leaves the body and that could cause depression or an illness. so in the evening the family prays for the spirits to come back to them. gold to good. good good good good good good good luck to them. they cover their heads to keep the spirit in the body through the night. in the morning maria leaves again for el marino. the red bull in a cooperative has rented a van to take its employees and their handicrafts to a local market event called the way. it's held once a year and attracts traders and customers from all over even neighboring chile and
