Elsa Juarez, a Wichi indigenous woman in Santa Victoria Este, Argentina, sweeps the ground around her home. The Wichi in this area have struggled for decades to recover land that has been systematically stolen from them by cattleraisers and large agricultural plantations. After years of negotiation supported by Church World Service, a landmark 2014 agreement will divide the land in this region between indigenous communities and settlers, guaranteeing the survival of the Wichi.
