Aura Tegría Cristancho, a 26-year-old indigenous lawyer from Colombia's U'wa Nation, has been the legal advisor to the U'wa Association of Traditional Authorities and Councils (ASOU'WA) since late 2013.

In September 2017, Aura toured the U.S., sharing the U'wa message of respecting Mother Earth and their generational fight to protect ancestral lands from oil drilling and resource extraction.

Aura emphasizes the U'wa belief that the world is a house supported by vital pillars. She urges non-indigenous people to abandon greed and protect Mother Earth, warning that once her "blood" (oil) is gone, no wealth can restore nature's harmony. Learn more at amazonwatch.org.

The U'wa people of Colombia's cloud forests are once again requesting international support. For over two decades, they have fought to keep oil projects and their inevitable environmental destruction out of their ancestral territories. Recent threats include expanded oil exploration (the Magallanes project) near their sacred Cubogón river and the bombing of an oil pipeline on their lands.

In response, the U'wa are organizing an international advocacy delegation to the United Nations. They are using video images, taken on Earth Day (April 22nd), to explain why their urgent case requires global attention and support.
