First-Generation Kara Andean & Kichwa Andean-Amazonian Data Sovereignty & AI Governance Systems Scholar and Chichupampa Clan Land Trustee, Ecuador.

As a lifelong student and practitioner of Indigenous biocomplexity systems, we operate at the intersection of rights, data, technology, nature, and culture—domains that are deeply intertwined within the frameworks of outsider-within privilege.

Our work is grounded in a strong sense of positionality and guided by intentionality, with a commitment to fostering community resilience. We focus on building and supporting the very infrastructures that underpin understanding, decision-making, and thriving through trans-systems worldviews.

We design baseline rights standards in research, development, and innovation frameworks that advance land reunification, the reinstitution of Indigenous sovereignty, and institutionality systems.
