The article analyzes the experience of La Voz Indígena radio, station located in Tartagal (Salta, Argentina) where communicators/as of five indigenous peoples work.
Its history goes back to the beginning of the last decade, when a group of caciques, mburuvichas and other indigenous women and young indigenous people decided to train in radio production, in order to reverse the historical invisibilization of their peoples. Progressively, the radio became a political space of reference for the struggles for the territories, in which the indigenous communities of the zone are protagonists. And, simultaneously, it was also a field from which to visualize and legitimize, in the local mediated public space, the memories, languages, ways and times of speech of the communities.
Recovering that experience, the article addresses the complex articulations between the struggles for indigenous ancestral territories and the struggles for participation in the territory of mediated public communication.
