Introduction / History

The Enawene-Nawe are a First Nations people that lives along Brazil’s Juruena River.


What Are Their Lives Like?

The Enawene-Nawe depend on their manioc crops and fishing. Their fishing efforts involve elaborate wooden traps. There are outside groups that threaten their fishing needs. There is a plan to build 80 dams upstream from the Enawene-Nawe homeland. Some of these dams will pollute the water and reduce the number of fish. Since they don’t eat red meat, they need the fish.


What Are Their Beliefs?

Though there is a Christian influence among the Enawene-Nawe, most adhere to their traditional religion.


What Are Their Needs?

The Enawene-Nawe need protection from outsiders. If they cannot catch fish, they cannot survive.
