In Punta Querandi there is a little cairn of stones where offerings are made to Pachamama and other Indian dieties. The movement is demanding that the national government take charge of the zone to implement measures to preserve and research the sites. Punta Querandi, a little "peninsula" in a river in the Buenos Aires provincial town of Dique Lujan, was isolated by the collapse of its only bridge and by the private neighborhoods surrounding it. A small patch of land is the epicenter of a conflict to defend the rights of Argentina's original inhabitants against construction firms. In 2009, the Pacha Defense Movement was formed and in 2010, when the building firm wanted to dig at the site, the association staged an ongoing sit-in.
