In this newly-commissioned work, Acosta brings a message from Machi Millaray Huichalaf, a spiritual and community leader tasked with defending the Pilmaiquén River in Chile from the construction of dams that would flood places sacred to the Mapuche-Williche people. In the message, the Machi emphasizes that Statkraft’s continued exploitation of the Pilmaiquén will lead to the destruction of the Kintuante, and the Mapuche way of life.
