On Sunday, Ephraim was dead and his family could no longer stay in the hospital corridors. On the first night of their grief, they slept on the cold sidewalk morgue Mother and Child Hospital.

Thanks to the efforts of Pedro Lozano and Emilio Torres, two Community Wichí "Canaveral" (still without knowing the Ibáñez, in solidarity with them) the Morgue accelerated delivery of Ephraim little body so that parents can be split in the morgue's van back to their land. I accompanied them thus far ... the beginning of a return to
that land is theirs, though mountains of paperwork to the contrary. A land that for over 1200 years gave them food, livelihood, shelter, fruit, animals, fish and food ... and today is a giant soybean field for the benefit of a few .
