Massive #geoengineering in the ancient #Amazonian habitat

'...ancestral Amazonians systematically built up large urban centres and engineered the habitat to their needs and appetites with composted gardens, fisheries, and forests groomed into orchards in complex, sustainably run systems – which could offer lessons for modern cities.'

Another Slovak genius Dasa #Bombjakova has beautiful material in her stunning ph.D on #BaMbendjele women's use of #cosmetics to create coalitions. Besides #African hunter-gatherers, there would be soooooo much to say on #Amazonian cultures. And it goes around the world.

Our colleague Ian #Watts (world expert on #ochre) is just about to publish wonderful ethnography on plant-based #pigment use and social contexts. Will be linking that up ASAP!

#Paddler Nanda Baniwa, the only #Indigenous member of the #Brazilian delegation competing in the #Hawaiian #CanoeWorldChampionships (VA’A) in #Hawaii, shared on her social networks an experience of #discrimination she faced when she arrived in the #UnitedStates. During #immigration, her #headdress was #seized.

For the #Amazonian woman who lives in #Pará, the #cocar (headdress) is not just an ornament, but a symbol of her identity, struggle and culture, which were hurt at the time. She pointed out that, as well as #racism being hard enough to deal with, suffering discrimination without being able to react and just letting it happen is a distressing experience.

“My headdress is my great ally in my struggles, it’s part of me. And since the origin of everything, it belongs to us, and that’s how it is for all native peoples”, she shared.

“Our stereotypes of #Indigenous #Amazonian peoples is still very much that they’re living in the forest without #technology…that’s not entirely accurate.”
“The #Marubo people loved #Orkut when they initially got online,” Ruedas said, referring to #socialnetwork launched in Brazil in the early 2000s and shut down by Google in 2014. “Then when Orkut died they all migrated to Facebook, and I’ve been connected with Marubo people on Facebook for many years.”

Throughout #Amazonian countries, there has been an increase in #threats to #Indigenous peoples’ territorial rights. Especially for Indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation, diminished territorial rights are a matter of life and death as #LandInvaders bring immuno-compromising #diseases.

Sign the petition to demand that Amazonian countries uphold and respect Indigenous peoples’ territorial rights as determined by international policies.

ScienceDailyIndigenous Ashaninka DNA helps geneticists write new chapters of pre-colonial history in South AmericaGeneticists have written new chapters in the reconstruction of pre-colonial Americas history after using DNA from the indigenous Ashaninka people from Amazonian Peru. They have discovered previously unexpected levels of genetic variation in this group and uncovered a strong hint that these people were involved in a South-to-North migration that led to the transition from an archaic to ceramic culture in the Caribbean islands.

Very moved today by watching the immensely powerful exploration of the destruction of the #Amazonian #rainforest in this video exhibition by Richard Mosse in the NGV (National Gallery Victoria) #Melbourne and, in particular, for the powerful denunciation by an Indigenous woman of the catastrophic damage being caused by mining activity. Watch it if you get the chance. Details on Broken Spectre on:
