DANIELLE DELUCA
"We Are All Barillas"

Since 2009, Hidralia Energia, through its subsidiary Hydro Santa Cruz, has
been planning a series of dams on the Q'am B'alam river that surrounds the
town of Santa Cruz Barillas. The proposed project would be installed in an
area used by the community for ceremonial, recreational, and agricultural
purposes. The project will also have significant impacts on the already
fragile natural environment. This talk will focus on a recent campaign to
stop a hydroelectric dam in the Mayan community of Barillas, Huehuetenango
in Guatemala, and how it relates to a broader trend towards neo-liberalism
and militarization by the government there.

Danielle DeLuca is originally from the Boston area but has been living in
Guatemala for the past three years, working with Indigenous Peoples on
different programs through Cultural Survival.
