Who they are
The Mapoyo are an Indigenous people living along the middle reaches of the Orinoco River in Venezuela. As guardians of a rich oral tradition tied to their ancestral territory and sacred sites, they face cultural pressures and a shift toward speaking Spanish. Their identity remains alive through strong community bonds and the preservation of their ancestors’ memory.
