Who they are
The Tsáchila are an indigenous people living in the western plains of Ecuador, traditionally known for their striking use of annatto to color their hair and paint their bodies. Speakers of the Tsafiki language, they preserve a rich communal tradition and strong ties to nature and traditional medicine while seeking to protect their lands and identity as the surrounding cities expand.
