Indigenous Futures matter to me because they force a hard question: why do we treat the scientific method as the only legitimate path to knowledge? For centuries, that assumption has shaped modern institutions while sidelining Indigenous epistemologies: knowledge built through long-term relationships with territory, community, and more-than-human life. In many Amazonian traditions, “teacher/mother” plants aren’t framed as recreational hallucinogens, but as ceremonial practices tied to healing, insight, and collective responsibility. I explore this tension in my sci-fi short story “I Speak with a Thousand Voices,” published in La Rivolta degli Oggetti (Italy) and Hipernatura (Peru). I'd love to hear your thoughts! https://paragraph.com/@santivanezcesar-en/i-speak-with-a-thousand-voices
