"Rivers run through our bodies, in our lungs is the wind carrying the word of our ancestors, the breath that heals and the song that nurtures, the fertile earth is in our skin, and in our eyes the reflection of the spirits”.

The Autana hill in the Piaroa territory is the base of the Kuavei tree which we use for food. This tree contained all the elements found in the plant world and used to be so high that it reached the sky, we were not able to reach it. It was then that Wuajari, God creator, discovered its existence and to help men and women decided to cut it down so its fruits could be spread throughout earth. The felled trunk became tepui, the Piaroa’s people sacred mountain (located in Venezuela). This was how the world was created.
