Description:
(Revolutionary, Indigenous people) Bartolina Sisa Vargas was an Aymaran woman and indigenous heroine recognized for her leadership in uprisings against Spanish rule in Charcas, part of the Viceroyalty of Peru and present-day Bolivia. Together with her husband Túpac Katari, she coordinated indigenous military camps and took part in the siege of La Paz. Despite facing betrayal and execution by Spanish authorities, her legacy endures through the observance of the International Day of Indigenous Women in Bolivia. Various indigenous groups, such as the Bartolina Sisa Confederation, pay tribute to Bartolina Sisa's name.
