Amiwa Craftsmanship Amiwa represents the Waiana, Aparai, and Tiriyó women of the East Tumucumaque and an association which today includes female leaders who are developing food and nutritional security projects for their 25 villages. They are taking part in decision-making concerning the implementation of the Territorial and Environmental Management plan together with the chiefs of the Paru d'Este river villages. Their craftsmanship is always linked to the dynamics in the management of their crops, and their products range from chilli peppers, hammocks and cotton woven slings in addition to beautiful graphic designs of the Waiana and Aparai ethnicities displayed in baskets, bracelets and bead necklaces. The Indigenous women of Tumucumaque bear witness to the importance of collective efforts for making the gardens and for the dynamics of collective life in Tumucumaque.
