Evidence: Cultural literacy around the world

When I was 20 I had the opportunity to travel to the eastern plains, I was in
extreme contact with nature and knew one of the most representative cultures of
the country.
Like gigantic veins, majestic rivers flow through this region that facilitate
commercial transactions and trips to magical places in the middle of the forest,
remote towns, reserves, parks and nature reserves. All this can be found in the
Amazon, Colombia. Where, indigenous groups give 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 of the Amazon River, The largest, deepest and deepest in the world.
Traditionally, most of the tribes of the Amazon 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. 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.
