content: Amanda Villa Pereira (Amondawa) (Presenter); Tambura Amondawa (vocals, flute, Amondawa); Wauto Am Oro Waram (vocals, flute, Amondawa) Artists from the Amondawa community use songs, stories, and personal adornment to sustain their traditions and share their contemporary struggle to remain on and protect the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau Indigenous Land in the rainforest region of RondÙnia State, Brazil. Their music, with hand-carved flutes and symbolic lyrics, documents these conflicts and calls for spiritual protection, peace, and well-being for their people. As part of the AssociaÁ„o do Povo IndÌgena Amondawa, they work to educate others about the environmental knowledge and social contributions of Indigenous people, with support from the Inter-American Foundation.
