WAORANI HANDICRAFT SAMPLES
WAORANI ARTESANIA

SAMPLES OF WAORANI HANDICRAFTS

HAND-MADE BY WAORANI WOMEN
IN THE AMAZON, IN THE WAORANI VILLAGES OF YASUNÍ

 

Skilled Waorani women artisans create necklaces, bracelets, bags, belts, and more from the plants and trees of Yasuni Amazon forest.

Designing, weaving, and and selling these handicrafts provides ecologically sustainable living for the Waorani, and helps them resist the further incursions of the oil companies, loggers, and other threats to their traditional homeland, Yasuni forest.

Every piece is unique. No two are identical. Some pieces take days to weave. Most have a tag with the name of the Waorani woman artisan who made that piece.
