Who they are

Os Emberá Saija são um povo indígena que habita as margens do rio Saija e áreas florestais da costa pacífica colombiana. Com forte ligação aos rios e à selva tropical, preservam a língua epena e ricas tradições comunitárias. Enfrentam o isolamento geográfico e pressões sobre seu território tradicional, enquanto buscam proteger sua herança cultural e o bem-estar de suas famílias.
