Evidence: Cultural literacy around the world

When I was 22 I had the opportunity to travel to the Islas Margaritas - Venezuela, I
was in extreme contact with nature and know one of the most representative
cultures of the country.
Like gigantic veins, through this region they cross majestic rivers that facilitate
commercial transactions and trips to magical places in the middle of the forest,
remote populations, reserves, parks and natural reserves all this you can find it in
the Islas Margaritas - Venezuela. Indigenous groups grant this territory an
incomparable ethnic multiplicity.
Knowing their rituals, culture and beliefs, interacting with community leaders and
understanding their relationship with nature is a sensational experience.
This wonderful habitat hosts as many species of fauna and flora as any other
ecosystem in the world and is a surprising place not only for the cultural diversity of
its indigenous peoples, but for the life that originates and is nourished from the
many banks on the ocean of Islas Margaritas, The largest, deepest and deepest in
the world. Traditionally, most of the tribes have a hunter-gatherer culture. They
move to a new area every few years, but many tribes have lately preferred to have
a more stationary existence. People live in communal buildings and share
resources with their community.
Each tribe has its own language and culture (dance, crafts, songs, medicine). They
can also have their own crops and usually have initiatives to care for the planet,
which is a very good thing.
In addition their religious beliefs are based on rituals, shamans and gods. The
handicrafts made by the natives can be bought in the guards or fairs of the region
and are distinguished by their fascinating designs created with seeds, bark,
feathers, hemp, Pirarucú scales and other elements collected in the depths.
