This is a day in the life of the indigenous Sápara tribe who live within the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Today, their population totals less than 700 people, across 22 communities, and they are constantly battling to keep their culture, traditions and territory in-tact in an ever pressing capitalist world.

The Sápara, also known as Zápara or Záparo, once occupied some 12,000 mi² between the Napo River and the Pastaza in the Amazon rainforest along the border of Ecuador and Peru.

Early in the 20th century, there were some 200,000 Zapara. From the year 2009 on the Ecuadorian Zápara call themselves Sápara. The official name is Nación Sápara del Ecuador (NASE).

The Sápara people have a distinct language, known as Sápara, which is considered critically endangered with only a few fluent speakers remaining. They have a unique cosmology that revolves around their close relationship with the natural world, viewing themselves as an integral part of the forest ecosystem.

They possess extensive knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants and have a profound understanding of the intricate balance of the rainforest.

However, the Sápara people face numerous challenges, including encroachment on their lands by extractive industries, deforestation, and the loss of their cultural heritage. Despite these pressures, the Sápara people continue to fight for their rights, seeking recognition and protection of their territory, language, and way of life. Efforts are being made to preserve their culture and support their sustainable practices, ensuring the survival and well-being of the Sápara people and their unique contributions to the world.

  4. THIS GUY IS A TRUE LIBERAL. DESTROYING EVERYTHING FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL GAIN AND MAKING EVERYBODY BELIEVE HE IS HELPING THE SITUATION WHILE HIS OWN CARBON FOOTPRINT IS LARGER THAN MOST PEOPLE. SUCH HYPOCRISY – AN EVER PRESSING CAPITALIST WORLD – 0:07 – THIS GUY FLIES A PLANE INVENTED BY CAPITALIST IDEAS INTO THE AMAZON JUNGLE, HE BRINGS RECORDING EQUIPMENT DESIGNED BY CAPITALISTS AND HE POSTS THIS VIDEO ON CAPITALIST YOUTUBE WHILE EARNING DIRTY CAPITALIST MONEY. HIS ADVERTISEMENT OF THIS CULTURE AND PEOPLE EXPONENTIALLY PLACES THEM IN FURTHER DANGER AND HIS PRESENCE CREATES THE IDEAS IN THEIR MINDS ABOUT LEAVING THEIR CULTURE TO SEE THE WORLD. IT'S ALL QUITE CUTE TEACHING THEM LANGUAGES OUTSIDE THEIR CULTURAL LANGUAGE. THE BEST WAY TO HELP THEM IS TO NEVER VISIT THEM.
