At Savimbo, we don’t speak for Indigenous Peoples — they are more than capable of representing themselves. But we are honored to work alongside many Indigenous friends and allies, and we 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 land, resilience, and diversity. While words can inspire, sometimes photos say more — capturing moments of tradition, innovation, and the countless ways people adapt their lives to the rhythms of the Earth.

The Kamëntsá indigenous people are located in the west of the department of Putumayo in Sibundoy Valley, Colombia. They are known for for their particular craftsmanship like their carved wooden masks that are worn during ceremonies and festivals.
