Here is a video from the Makuna, an indigenous group in the Amazon basin. It's very appropriate to what I'm working on right now, because they talk about traditional knowledge and ways of managing their environment. This is the type of information we're studying with peasant farmers in our region through the Muisca Garden project. Also, there are some cool shots of rock art around minute 7 of the video, which is another theme I've been working on recently.
Apparently the ensemble of this ethnic group's knowledge has been declared a cultural heritage treasure of humanity by UNESCO.
