Abstract
This thesis examines how Indigenous women, specifically in Peru, exemplify a deeply reciprocal relationship with the natural world, which is rooted in ancient and ancestral histories. This communal relationship is seen clearly between women and their interactions with water. These histories explore humanity’s relationship with the natural world and demonstrate a communal way of living that recognizes the presence of deities greater than humans.
