In recent years, the visibility of Indigenous women leaders defending the rights of their communities from the abuses committed in connection to mega-projects has gained some space. However, most of what we know about their struggle is their victimisation. Can such a limited approach be overcome with a decolonial perspective? How? Why would it be relevant? The paper will discuss how a decolonial methodological orientation was crucial to arrive at what has been recognized as a decolonial analytical proposal, the ‘braided action’ theoretical framework.
