Ashaninka

The Ashaninka are an Indigenous people primarily found in the Amazon rainforest region of Peru and Brazil. They have their own distinct language and cultural practices, traditionally engaging in agriculture, fishing, and hunting. The Ashaninka society is rich in beliefs and customs linked to nature and their ancestors. In recent years, they have faced challenges such as deforestation, land disputes, and the impact of modern development. Efforts are underway to empower the Ashaninka, protect their rights, and preserve their culture while promoting their sustainable use of the rainforest.
