"ABYA YALA is the name by which the continent that today is named America is known, which would literally mean land in full maturity or land of vital blood." •• "Different native nations also gave different names to the continent in their respective languages according to their own specific cultural visions of the concept of continent or territory (Mayab in the case of the Mayas of the current Yucatan Peninsula), visions that are not identified with the Spanish idea of the continent." •• "Currently, in different indigenous organizations, communities and institutions and their representatives from all over the continent prefer its use to refer to the continental territory, instead of the term America." •• "The use of this name is assumed as an ideological position by those who use it, arguing that the name 'America' or the expression 'New World' would be typical of the European colonizers and not of the original peoples of the American continent." •• "Abya Yala in the Guna language means 'land in full maturity', or land in flourishing, mature land, as opposed to the term New World given after the Spanish conquest." •• "The leader of the Aimara people, Takir Mamani, defends the use of the term 'Abya Yala' in the official statements of the governing bodies of the indigenous peoples, declaring that 'placing foreign names on our villages, cities and continents is equivalent to submitting our identity at the will of our invaders and their heirs.'" •
