Ser parte de este proceso de repatriación ha sido una de las experiencias más significativas de mi carrera académica. A veces el trabajo más importante sucede cuando los documentos históricos encuentran su camino a casa, ¡y me siento honrado de haber contribuido a ese viaje! ✨

Están siendo digitalizados, lo que significa que investigadores de todo el mundo - y las propias comunidades indígenas - finalmente tendrán acceso a esta evidencia crítica de las injusticias que enfrentaron sus ancestros durante todo el período colonial.
20.08.2025 16:36 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0¿Por qué estoy tan emocionado? Más allá del honor increíble de ayudar a traer estos documentos a casa, serán DECISIVOS para mi nueva investigación que examina los sistemas coloniales de trabajo y esclavitud y el trato devastador que sufrieron las comunidades indígenas, africanas y afroparaguayas.

Being part of this repatriation process has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my academic career. Sometimes the most important work happens when historical documents find their way home, and I'm honoured to have contributed to that journey! ✨

20.08.2025 16:33 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Why am I so excited? Beyond the incredible honour of helping bring these documents home, they will be DECISIVE for my new research examining colonial labour and slavery systems and the devastating treatment Indigenous, African and Afroparaguayan communities endured.

20.08.2025 16:33 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0These aren't just any old papers. The Hernandarias documents contain crucial evidence about the enslavement and brutal mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by Spanish and Mestizo colonisers in early colonial Paraguay.
