  • Rescuing their ancestor's traditions at the House of Knowledge, the indigenous people group living at Itacoatiara Mirim community, nearby São Gabriel da Cachoeira town, face the difficulties of transitions and the shock of the economic development impact in the extreme northeast of Amazonas state. They seek how to preserve identities, cultural values, while an avalanche of new economic needs are born every day.

  • Despite being the local host of this Indigenous Festival, the Guarani people are usually very shy, and just a few of them went to the Festival. Around Bertioga town there are communities in  Guarani's lands. They survive between the transition of being indigenous with access to all the city's culture and consume, but being poor and denied by the local community.<br />
But this time they were more than the last two years; a larger group reflecting being secure and proud by their tradition.

  • A Bará Indigenous man living at São Gabriel da Cachoeira, uses the Baniwa Maloca (House of Knowledge) to express his own traditions and share with the community. With a peculiar humor, he was listed as 'dangerous indigenous man' by the Baniwa's leader because he exhibits a mustache (not usual for the indigenous in the area).<br />
Bará People are very rare, an estimative about their group in Brazil tells about only 39 people (by 2009). His original tribe is near the frontier with Colômbia, around Papuri river.

  • Embraced by his friend playing the flute, they dance together.<br />
It was the first time I've seen someone playing a Jabuti's (turtle) hull. <br />
The sound was a vibration produced by the friction of his warm hand, in a constant rhythm, giving me a sense of transe.<br />
Hypnotic and beautiful.<br />
<br />
The Indigenous Bará was playing the flute, and the Jabuti's musician is a Baniwa man.

  • Yawalapiti men, before the opening of the Festival.<br />
<br />
"For the Yawalapiti, the mythic world is a past that is not connected to the present through strict chronological ties. Thus, myth exists as a spatial and temporal reference, but mainly provides behavioral models. The ceremonies are the occasion par excelence for replicating these models, but their privileged relation with the world of myth above all symbolizes the impossibility of repeating that world, except in an imperfect way. The ritual is thus a moment when daily life is closer to the ideal model presented in myth, without however being able to attain it." <br />

  • Fresh market, at Sao Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas.<br />
The Negro River doesn't have a generous offer of fishes, and the people living at Sao Gabriel, almost 1000 km far from Manaus, still receive a lot of needs from this city. A long journey by boat that takes between 4 to 7 days.<br />
<br />
In the fresh market is possible to find a few fresh things, like fish, flour, cassava, some local fruits... but food can be a hard thing. In this city where mostly of the population (99%) are indigenous people, they've been serious afraid about climate changes. The river was too high to start working on the plantations, the fish are poor, and a single can of milk costs at least $5 dollars, when you can find it.
