Nacionalidad SAPARA.Pastaza Ecuador [08:02]
En sudamérica, ubicada en el centro de la Amazonía ecuatoriana se encuentra la provincia de Pastaza. En este exótico territorio de 29.520 Km2, actualmente habitan siete nacionalidades indígenas: Sáparo, Kichwa,, Shuar, Achuar, Waodani, Shiwiar, y Andoa, alguna de ellas en proceso de extinción. Frente a ello, el Núcleo de Pastaza de la Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, buscando fortalecer la identidad y conocimiento de estos pueblos ancestrales, donde sobresalen sus principales características que les distinguen unas de otras, han preparado este video -- documental educativo -- Cultural. Este material visual recoge la esencia de la riqueza ÉTNICO -- CULTURAL de Pastaza, convertida en la vitrina más megadiversa del Ecuador. Esperamos que este documental sirva, para que propios y extraños, connacionales y extranjeros, valoremos su cultura, sus saberes ancestrales, su innata vocación por defender y proteger su entorno natural y cultural cada vez más amenazado y VULNERADO por la tendencia globalizante y los avances tecnológicos.

They lived in four warring and widely dispersed groups located on hilltops away from major rivers; the headwaters of the Tiputini River constituted the core of ancestral Waorani territory. Other indigenous groups, mainly the Zaparos, lived along the Tiputini and Curaray rivers in essence surrounding the Waorani. When the Zaparos were suddenly decimated by disease and violent displacement during the rubber boom that hit the region in the late 1800s, the Waorani were able to expand their territory northward to the Napo and southward to the Upper Curaray and Villano rivers.
