The project Indigenous Territory: Culture, Production and Environmental Management, aims to strengthen the work of AMAAIC (Association of the Movement of Indigenous Agro-Florestal Agents of Acre) for the struggle for land, culture, traditional food, practices and ancestral knowledge through a journey of 3 months, being two in Huni Kuin villages with a focus on the Rio Jordão and we will also pass through villages Ashaninka and Kuntanawa.

I believe that the current indigenous scenario in Acre is to RESCUE AND STRENGTHEN traditional knowledge and practices. For this reason, I am looking for support to carry out this project together with the indigenous people, to revitalise the Huni Kuin culture and to implement and perfect this future knowledge, initially rescued in the work already carried out in environmental management.

The project is based on supporting the work of AMAAIC and OPIAC (Organisation of Indigenous Teachers of Acre) and the CPI-Acre.

The main focus is the revitalisation of the Huni Kuin culture by means of visits to the villages and associations of the ethnic group and others in the surrounding area, in order to support the work and rescue this valuable ancestral knowledge.

Three interspersed articles will be produced:

1- On the production of organic food to favour the regionalised school snack.

2- On culture based on sustainability.

3- On the environmental management carried out by AMAAIC in the 35 Indigenous Territories.

Objectives:

1- To analyse how the Hunikuin associations are organised and to help them where necessary.

2- Consolidate and rescue the traditional music and the stories that form the family tree of life and the Huni Kuin wisdom.

Music was and still is a fundamental factor in strengthening the indigenous culture and spirit.

Music was and still is a fundamental factor in strengthening the indigenous culture and spirit.

If we go deeper into the music and the origin stories of the Huni Kuin life and knowledge, it means to understand better the way they relate to people, animals and the world, once everything is interrelated.

Having a clearer vision and feeling, it is possible to create mechanisms to strengthen the culture according to the Huni Kuin essence, that is, to walk in line with the ancestral principles so that the indigenous identity remains more and more alive in the environmental, school, territorial and many other fields.

I have always had access to indigenous peoples, but given the needs presented by the ethnic groups to fight for territory, health, education, environment and so many other banners of struggle, I did not have enough time to better understand the nuances of the ancestral cultural tree, being currently the great axis of the struggle this revitalization and cultural rescue.

In this research, we want to delve deeper into the traditional wisdom, to better understand the pillars and high values of the Huni Kuin culture.

The aim is to help the indigenous youth and the surrounding society more and more to improve the respect for the forest and the indigenous people.

In addition to the texts, films will be made, which will be transformed into 10 short documentaries, in order to give the “Guardians of the Amazon” an even greater voice.
