This is a day in the life of the indigenous Sápara tribe who live within the Ecuadorian Amazon.
Today, their population totals less than 700 people, across 22 communities, and they are constantly battling to keep their culture, traditions and territory in-tact in an ever pressing capitalist world.
The Sápara, also known as Zápara or Záparo, once occupied some 12,000 mi² between the Napo River and the Pastaza in the Amazon rainforest along the border of Ecuador and Peru.
Early in the 20th century, there were some 200,000 Zapara. From the year 2009 on the Ecuadorian Zápara call themselves Sápara. The official name is Nación Sápara del Ecuador (NASE).
The Sápara people have a distinct language, known as Sápara, which is considered critically endangered with only a few fluent speakers remaining. They have a unique cosmology that revolves around their close relationship with the natural world, viewing themselves as an integral part of the forest ecosystem.
They possess extensive knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants and have a profound understanding of the intricate balance of the rainforest.
However, the Sápara people face numerous challenges, including encroachment on their lands by extractive industries, deforestation, and the loss of their cultural heritage. Despite these pressures, the Sápara people continue to fight for their rights, seeking recognition and protection of their territory, language, and way of life. Efforts are being made to preserve their culture and support their sustainable practices, ensuring the survival and well-being of the Sápara people and their unique contributions to the world.

[@nicholaspearson4246]

As someone who has had a number of similar experiences in the Oriente (amazon region) of Ecuadpr visiting indigenous communities I think you succeeded in conveying the special quality of their lives living sustainably in the rainforest. In order to protect the rainforest from more depredations of corporate interests it is essential that the rights of indigenous communities be upheld and protected.. Through videos like this one people can get a good sense of what sustainable living is all about not only in the tropical rainforest but in general.

The start of this series was worth the wait. Questions: 1. How many of the kids leave when they come of age? 2. Is that a daily search for breakfast? Or was that meant to be a memorable outing? You could feel the pride when he said, "This is the only wealth we have." You can understand why they fight to protect it.

[@GarethLeonard]

Thank you so much! 🙏 To answer your questions... 1. A lot of them will go back-and-forth into Puyo to go to college or work, and then will come back to the community whenever they can catch a flight (or long hike). 2. Usually they eat what we had for lunch (fish, yucca, banana, chicha) for breakfast - only when they're out in the jungle (hunting, working, trekking) will they eat these grubs. 3. Yeah, that statement hit hard! They were such amazing kids!! Thanks as always for watching @Christopher!

[@melanielamere2653]

This was wonderful. A great story told with great respect. Thank you

[@jscheer2003]

Hi! Most of the youth stay in the community as they grow! In the past often kids left for school and work so the community set up systems so they don’t have to leave. There is now a high school in addition to elementary and the community created a eco tourism center called Naku to receive visitors and create income opportunities inside the jungle.

You are just so genuine, you are likable, I believe you have a beautiful heart, and with that comes great responsibility as cheesy at that sounds, good people go through hard lessons in life. Your video came at a time when I am also having medical issues so is a family member, and when you said to be your own advocate, to not take No as an answer, it motivated me to not take NO, to not wait. To self love. I love your videos, and overthought I dont know you, I love you too comrade of earth, my cosmic brother.

08:32 is very interesting to me as an African. What I can see is that the South Americans, Africans and Asians really have a lot in common. We always have things that we can relate to. These continents must definitely fight to preserve their ways and environment as we do actually rely on it more than Capitalists would understand.
