Oro Nao

Deep into the Amazon Rainforest the Oro Nao indigenous people live near the border between Brazil and Bolivia. But they have their own universe apart from both countries. Neither Portuguese nor Spanish, their language is Txapacura and their costumes and traditions remain similar from the past. Every April they prepare a ritual to dance and sing celebrating their history and resistance.
