In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month CLEO celebrates Sônia Guajajara. Sônia is a Brazilian indigenous activist, environmentalist and politician. She's the first indigenous person to run for a federal executive position in Brazil. Guajajara has participated in several United Nations Climate Change Conferences, always representing indigenous causes, especially the demarcation of lands and the defense of human rights.

"Being an indigenous woman in Brazil means living as an eternal challenge, to struggle, to occupy space, to be a protagonist for your own history. Historically, we were told that we could not occupy certain spaces. For a long time, indigenous women were invisible, our work was confined to our villages, which was always very important work because we play a guiding role there. But the time came when we realized we can do a lot more than this, that we can also take our place in the front lines of all struggles" ~ Sônia Guajajara
