More than a thousand years old, the Atacama lines and geoglyphs embody pre-Hispanic representations of the relationship with the underground and its resources. As such, they carry strong consequences for genealogy and ownership. Alonso Barros, Gonzalo Pimentel, and Juan Gili from the Fundacion Desierto Atacama, with Mauricio Hidalgo from the Quechua people of Huatacondo (Tarapacá, Chile), use this history to support indigenous struggles against mining companies and the Chilean State – so as to preserve the Quechua land and its history.
