Who they are
The Wayana are an Indigenous people living in the tropical forests of the border region between northern Brazil, Suriname and French Guiana, especially along rivers such as the Maroni and the Paru de Leste. Custodians of rich oral traditions and skilled basketry, they maintain a strong connection to the waterways and preserve their language and cultural identity in remote villages.
