The Yawanawa Tribe

The Yawanawá are a group belonging to the Pano linguistic family who today occupy the Gregório River Indigenous Land. There are over 1,000 Yawanawá, living in 9 tribal villages along the Gregório River. 

The Yawanawá and their allies are dedicated to developing a model of sustainability that allows them to protect their lands and engage with the outside world on their own terms, without compromising their cultural and spiritual identity.

The tribe has been working tirelessly to increase territory, reinvigorate Yawanawá culture, and establish economically and socially empowering relationships with the outside world.

They plant and hunt their own food and live in wooden houses, their pharmacy is the forest. Due to a history with missionaries, part of their culture got lost and devalued. However, today they recaptured a lot of their tradition and are very grateful and proud to be able to share this beautiful gift. 

Yawanawá roughly translates to “people of the wild boar”.
