This week hundreds of indigenous Bolivians returned home after successfully pushing the government of President Evo Morales to ban a highway that would have bisected the National Park and Indigenous Territory Isiboro Secure (TIPNIS). Their 350-mile, 66-day march from the Bolivian lowlands up to the high-altitude government seat of La Paz drew attention across the Andean nation.
Follow the march for the TIPNIS from the beginning in text, audio and photos with Indian Country Today Media Network:
