We don’t post directly to #Tumblr often. We are a small organization and it’s very difficult to manage all of our channels. We are looking for your support on our new project for all people concerned about indigenous issues and the negative effects of colonization.  I have ideas for articles that may help with general awareness of both new & ongoing issues, but for now, it is my hope that you will see for yourself why this film is important to the world and the Yawanawá.  The first video on this GoFundMe page is an appeal from the creators of the film, the Yawanawá leadership, about how this project is important to them on a personal level. "Be a truthful tribe. This way you will always have partners. No one likes false people." - Tatá Yawanawá     If you would like to help us share our message, please reach out. Thank you.
