LIVING THERE
PEOPLE OF THE RAINFOREST
We often overlook the millions of people that live in the rain forests.
Did you know that there are about 50,000,000 tribal people living in
world's rainforests?
These people depend on the forests
for their food and shelter.
LI: To create my own tribe of the Amazon rainforest. To compare my own life to that of an Amazon tribe.
Awa Tribe- Brazil
The Awá are an endangered indigenous group of people living in the eastern Amazon forests of Brazil. Approximately 350 members survive, and 100 of those have no contact with the outside world.
From a young age, all Awá learn how to hunt. They are extremely skilled with a bow and arrow!
The Awá live in extended family groups. Families go on gathering trips where everybody collect nuts and berries.
Many family groups go off on extended hunts lasting several weeks.
Family Life
Apãranã ("Little Butterfly") swings from a liana over a creek where children bathe and play.
Awa children do not go to school!
Pets Baby monkeys spend much time with Awá women and children enjoying the physical contact. Many monkeys like to sit on their owners' heads.

My name is Akra my home is the Amazon Rainforest. I am part of the Awa tribe.
My life is much different to yours. Each day I get up at 5.00 am.
In my village we grow crops including, Beans, Corn and Bananas. For breakfast I collect the crops for my family to eat.
I do not go to school, I help my family. Each day we hunt for food. We
hunt for turtles and fish in the river catching them with arrows. We cook the food over a fire while it is fresh. I usually have fish for my lunch.
The rainforest is valuable to tribes as it has many resources we can use to build our homes, light our fires and provide medicines when we
are sick. We live in Harmony with the rainforest and only use the resources we need.
We don’t have electricity to watch T.V or play computer games. For entertainment members of the tribe gather to dance and
sometimes sing.
