Moira Millán

Moira Millán is a weychafe―warrior and defender―of the Mapuche Nation people. The daughter of railroad workers, she was born in the Chubut province of Argentina. She cofounded the October 11 Mapuche-Tehuelche Organization, which has recovered the territories of several communities and founded the Fight for Work movement. She started the March of Indigenous Women for Good Living, now a rights organization. In 2018 she organized the first indigenous women's parliament. She continues to work on behalf of her people, the Earth, and the environment. Her activism has gained greater visibility in recent years amid ongoing repression in Patagonia. In 2012 she won the third DocTV Latin America contest as the cowriter of the documentary Pupila de mujer, mirada de tierra, directed by Florencia Copley. She won the Intercontinental Cry Indigenous Reporting Award with her article "Mapuche Motherhood in the Age of Benetton." Train to Oblivion is her debut novel, and she's now at work on the screenplay.
