The Nukuk Maktu

Více o knize

Focusing on the Nukak tribe of the Colombian Amazon, the book explores their traditional nomadic lifestyle and the challenges they face in contemporary society. Residing between the Guaviare and Inírida rivers, the Nukak are one of the last nomadic hunter-gatherer groups, living in small forest communities. The narrative also highlights their interactions with the Tukano people, who are politically active yet divided over organizations like the Regional Council of Vaupés Indians. The complexities of language and cultural identity are also examined.
