Who they are
The Waorani are an indigenous people who inhabit the Amazon rainforest in eastern Ecuador. With a language isolate and traditions deeply connected to the rainforest, they preserve ancestral hunting and gathering practices. Historically known for defending their territory against outside incursions, they now navigate the protection of their lands amid the spread of new cultural and spiritual influences.
