María Eufemia Arroyo Izquierdo María Eufemia Arroyo Izquierdo
María Eufemia Arroyo Izquierdo (2002) grew up in the deepest part of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, next to the snow-peaked mountains at the center of the Indigenous reservation where the four different cultures of the region meet. Even though she was given a western name, she was recognized as a guardian weaver of her culture and a guardian of the feminine thought, which is essential for the care of Mother Earth. As a young mother herself, she was given the task of caring for the relation between Mother and child, where the caring for water begins. After her education she moved to the Kwarte Umuke community where, through traditional work, she looks for harmony in the defense of the Sierra Nevada region.
