By: Adriana Ramirez

Guaitipán was a warrior leader who, alongside her Indigenous siblings, led one of the most powerful resistances for years against the Spanish conquest. Her story was made invisible by the Spaniards because to remember her was to give the Indigenous people a reason to feel proud, a reason to have hope, and a reason to continue fighting.
