Who they are
The Guajá, also known as the Awá, are an Indigenous people living in the forests of Maranhão, Brazil. Traditionally hunters and gatherers, they have a deep and reverent connection with the native forest, which sustains their livelihoods and culture. They face constant external pressures on their traditional territory while preserving their language, which has Tupi roots, and their communal way of life.
