#IRI asked Heriberto Prado Pereda if he had a message for psychedelic communities and industries working with psilocybin and sacred mushrooms.
In another excerpt co-produced with our partners at CIPREPACMA (Indigenous Council for the Rescue of Mazatec Cultural Heritage) in Santa Maria Chilchotla, #Oaxaca #Mexico, #Mazatec poet and religious leader Heriberto shares some important reflections on the sacred mushroom from his experiences struggling for the protection of Mazatec cultural heritage and ecological knowledge. Supported by the Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative of the Americas (IRI), CIPREPACMA launched a Mazatec-Spanish community radio and revitalized their ofrenda practice to maintain local springs as sources of clean water-part of their fight for linguistic conservation, religious rights, and environmental remediation.
Their community association is gathering in March for the recovery and conservation of Mazatec language, bringing together Mazatec artists, writers, composers, singers, artisans, scholars, and healers, as well as the general public.
To support their efforts and contribute to a community-directed biocultural conservation program of 20 Indigenous partner organizations who have full control over the use and management of their resources, emphasizing local agency that challenges conventional philanthropic models please click the link in our bio 🌱
