MATRIARCHY LIVES
»The earth plays an important role. It gives us food and is a gift from Sibú, our God. For us, the earth represents the woman. In our culture, as a woman, I am the head of the clan and the owner of the land. I inherit it from my mother and pass it on to my daughters.«
Priska, 2022 (Bribri, Talamanca, Costa Rica)
Quote from a woman in today’s matriarchal society.
The photo books «Matriarchs» 1 + 2 with many pictures and information are available on Maria Haas’ website.
HONORING THE ANCESTORS
Everything is structured via the mother line: The succession, the economy, politics, the social structure, religion, the understanding of nature. The human and the cosmic mother, the animal mother and the earth mother, they all give life and the means to live. In the spiritual-religious sphere, this leads to the veneration of the deceased generations. Without the ancestors, there is no survival, because the central world view is based on the belief in reincarnation. As can be seen from observing nature, all life returns cyclically. After the winter break, the plants sprout in spring and it’s the same with people. After a certain time in the world of the dead, they are reborn. This is very specific to your own clan.
