Cool facts about the Huottöją nation in Venezuela
“My word speaks of respect, without respect we are lost.”
At Savimbo we do not speak for indigenous peoples: they are more than capable of representing themselves. But we are honored to work with many indigenous friends and allies, and we also share a deep appreciation for their cultures and the wisdom they bring to living in harmony with Nature.
Indigenous culture is a living expression of deep connection to the land, resilience, and diversity. While words can inspire, sometimes photos say more: they capture moments of tradition, innovation, and the myriad ways people adapt their lives to the rhythms of the Earth.
This community of Huottöją, despite being located only 30 minutes from the city, still preserves its customs and traditions. It is dedicated to agricultural production and makes handmade baskets with natural fibers to create work tools. Thanks to the presence of their Mëñęruwä (Traditional Doctor), this community continues to maintain their customs, traditions and mother tongue. Living in harmony with nature and protecting biodiversity.
