Today, the claims of A bya Y ala's indigenous and aboriginal women are positioned within L atin A merica's indigenous agenda. This article analyzes the processes of emergence, articulation, consolidation, and integration of A bya Y ala's indigenous and aboriginal women into the C ontinental I ndigenous W omen's S ummit M eeting of A bya Y ala, which has been held twice in the A mericas, in P uno, P eru, in 2009 and in L a M aría P iendamó, C olombia, in 2013. Through these summits, the specific claims of indigenous women have reached the international indigenous agenda and feminist and women's movements, promoting their autonomy. The article also examines the actors that favored the process of emergence, how the first and second summit meetings were held, and debates and selection of the topics. It addresses the challenges of this autonomous space managed and constituted by indigenous and aboriginal women of the continent.
