Cholitas Woman — Images by kenne
It’s a short boat ride
connecting two peninsulas
in Lake Titicaca.
Wrapped in a woolen shawl
she proudly holds her
velvet bowler hat.
Her family waits
in the plaza next to
an Inca God statue
where family members
line up for picture taking
with grandma holding baby.
Until a decade ago
Cholitas women were
banned from public places.

Really only ten years, I looked this up. I can’t believe how pathetic humans can be. Not allowing people to go where they want when they want. Discrimination of any kind just shows how ignorant the discriminators are. Beautiful photos though. The articles and wiki I read very interesting too. Thank you for this Kenne. đź’ś

Sadly, COVID-19 is really taking a toll on the indigenous people of Bolivia.
