Cool facts about the Huottöją nation in Venezuela

My word speaks of respect, without respect we are lost.

At Savimbo, we don’t speak for Indigenous Peoples — they are more than capable of representing themselves. But we are honored to work alongside many Indigenous friends and allies, and we share a deep appreciation for their cultures and the wisdom they bring to living in harmony with Nature.

Indigenous culture is a living expression of deep connection to land, resilience, and diversity. While words can inspire, sometimes photos say more — capturing moments of tradition, innovation, and the countless ways people adapt their lives to the rhythms of the Earth.

This Huottöją community, despite being located only 30 minutes from the city, still preserves its customs and traditions. It is dedicated to agricultural production and crafts baskets from natural fibers to create work tools. Thanks to the presence of their Mëñęruwä (Traditional Doctor), this community continues to uphold its customs, traditions, and mother tongue. Living in harmony with nature and protecting biodiversity.
