The Yawanawa Light

with Tashka Yawanawá

In this deep conversation, we learn with Tashka Yawanawá, who joins us from their territory in Acre, in the Brasilian Amazon, and speaks to us about our relationship with nature, the Yawanawá culture, their fight to reclaim their land, re-invigorate their culture, and engage economically in a way that sustains the forest that is their home, and the source of their cultural identity. Tashka also brings teachings about the plants.
