A quick compilation of a trip I was privileged to be on nearly a year ago. The Siekopai were divided by a war, separated by states yet still one. This reunion of communities and long lost family members on both sides was a privilege to behold. A trip to the flooded forests of the Amazon 🌴💗

Assemblies are common for indigenous peoples and an important place in which a nationality can gather to discuss issues and connect, sharing knowledge and art.

Here the Siekopai (secoya) paint their faces with Achiote (Bixa Orellana) during their congress. Each design holding a particular meaning.
