El 1° de septiembre de 2025 entró en vigor, en México, la Norma 020 “Para establecimientos de salud y el reconocimiento de la partería en la atención integral materna y neonatal”, que regulará la partería profesional y tradicional, y que limitará el ejercicio de esta labor principalmente en el caso de parteras Indígenas. Se trata de una Norma que, desde su planteamiento, desconoció las voces, necesidades y exigencias de las parteras, quienes hoy dicen: “No a la Norma Oficial Mexicana 020”.

The global Land Back movement is a collective and deeply rooted effort by Indigenous communities to reclaim ancestral lands that were taken through colonization, forced removal, and broken treaties. Far beyond a call for restitution, Land Back is about restoring sovereignty, cultural revitalization, and environmental stewardship. It is a continuous and evolving struggle to reassert Indigenous rights and reaffirm the sacred, reciprocal relationship between people and the land—a relationship that has sustained ecosystems for millennia.

In this interview, she shares insights into the deep connections between Indigenous food traditions, cultural identity, and the land.

Indigenous knowledge plays a vital role in addressing climate change—not only because Indigenous communities are often on the frontlines of its impacts, but also because they are experts in resilience and adaptation. For generations, these communities have cultivated a deep, place-based understanding of their environments, guided by observation, stewardship, and sustainable practices. Today, their centuries-old wisdom is increasingly being recognized and integrated into modern climate strategies, offering valuable insights into biodiversity conservation, land management, and ecological balance. Far from being passive victims, Indigenous peoples are key partners in shaping more sustainable and effective responses to the global climate crisis.
