Sumario:Anzaldúa challenges the Anglo by developing authentic leadership. This article briefly traces some of the new directions in the twenty-first century with respect to border studies and strategies / methods to articulate, validate and disseminate Indigenous feminist epistemologies. Like Anzaldúa, Indigenous feminist theorization similarly seeks the democratization and autonomy of the authority to theorize and resist; they reclaim rights to their own jurisdiction to produce knowledge, develop capacity based on that knowledge and courage to take action. This paper posits that twentyfirst century indigenous activists −authentic leaders− continue along the "Borderlands" territory as they embrace a key non-Western ingredient of their epistemology, Kawsay (good life), pertaining to a wide spectrum of linguistic, environmental, physical, social, political, and cultural trespasses toward collective good.
