Cerro Faru, the mountain that leads to Heaven. A sacred Tepui. How do you tell the institutions of today and the bureaucracies and corporations of tomorrow that a mountain is yours even if you don’t own it or never climb nor dig through it nor mine it to smithereens? One possible solution is to put it on a map and say so. Time will tell: Yekuana territory is coveted (to say the least) for its huge mineral deposits and uranium.
