World's Indigenous leaders conclude trip around the world in Chile with ancestral ceremony

Leaders from Indigenous communities from all over the world concluded a 46-day trip around the world in the O'Higgings region of Chile with dancing, singing, and prayers for the protection of nature. 

Leaders from the different Indigenous communities held their last ancestral ceremony of their journey in a kiva - a ceremonial space, often subterranean or semi-subterranean, built by the Pueblo Indigenous community in the southwestern United States, used for rituals, political meetings, and gatherings during a ceremony. 

The Indigenous people's journey began in Italy and passed through India, Australia, and Zimbabwe before concluding in Chile.
