Munduruku

The Munduruku are an indigenous people native to the Amazon region of Brazil. They have their own language, culture, and traditions, and historically live along the Tapajós and Amazon rivers. Known for their strong sense of community and connection to the rainforest, they rely on fishing, hunting, and farming for sustenance. Over recent years, they have been active in defending their land from external threats like illegal mining, logging, and infrastructure projects that threaten their environment and way of life. Their efforts emphasize the importance of preserving their territory and cultural heritage amid ongoing development pressures.
