| Sumario: | For the last twenty years, two indigenous associations of the Kotiria (Wanano) people of the Upper Rio Negro region, Amazonas, have engaged in efforts to strengthen and maintain their language and culture. The Association of the Khumuno Wʉ’ʉ Kotiria Indigenous School (ASEKK), located in the village of Caruru-Cachoeira, promotes activities with the school community serving five villages in the Upper Rio Negro Indigenous Land, while the Association of the Kotiria People (APOK) works within the city of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, AM, seat of the “most indigenous municipality of Brazil”. We offer an overview of the history of these organizations: their concerns, actions, challenges and accomplishments, as well as the partnerships they have developed in their fight for recognition and strengthening of their linguistic heritage and cultural identity. |
