"They live peacefully, with their own way of life and their own food. It’s identical to what is happening in Peru. For centuries the Waorani have defended their territories, but now the biggest threats are oil exploration, loggers and miners."

The Waorani carry out a similar diet with their arrow poison, called curare or, in their language, oomae. This is another amazing product of the indigenous science, a most sophisticated technology that the Waorani extrapolated from an ancient myth.

The Waorani people of Ecuador won a historic court case blocking oil companies from entering 180,000 hectares of their ancestral land in Pastaza. The ruling, upheld on appeal, set a precedent for indigenous free, prior, and informed consent.
