Tashka And Laura Soriano Yawanawá Biography

The viewpoint of the indigenous people themselves, which is frequently absent from talks regarding the future of indigenous people in Brazil, is represented by Chief Tashka Yawanawá and Laura Yawanawá. Leaders of the Yawanawá people who reside in Brazil's Acre area, Tashka and Laura Yawanawa, believe that for his people to connect with the rest of the world, they must first uphold their right to self-determination and self-worth. Tashka, the son of a previous Yawanawá chieftain, saw as a young child as the New Tribes Mission and the push of commercial interests nearly wiped out his culture. He traveled to other native villages while studying in the US. Together with other tribal leaders in the Amazon, he is attempting to give indigenous peoples back their sense of self-worth, identity, and a sustainable economic future based on their principles, cultures, and definitions of success. Around the world, Laura Soriano Yawanawá strives to support indigenous tribes.
