	Baniwa Art Project
		Besides production for community use, the Baniwa have always exchanged their craft for products such as salt, soap, gunpowder and clothing, dealing with missionaries and riverbank traders who exploited the Indians by buying the basket ware cheap and selling it later at a huge profit.
		At the same time the organization sought means to avoid an exodus of Indians from their communities, due to the lack of work opportunities.
		The Baniwa have proved willing to learn, overcoming operational and logistic problems such as how to transport large quantities of products through the rivers and rapids of the Amazon’s interior.

		The Baniwa are also mentioned in Portuguese sources of the same period as having been brought as slaves, probably by the Manao people of the middle Rio Negro, from the upper Rio Negro to the Fort of Barra at the mouth of the river.
		The Baniwa had barely survived by the end of the 18th century but, with the disorganization of the colonies, they returned to their homelands on the Içana and sought to rebuild their society.
		According to the narratives that the Baniwa and other peoples of the upper Rio Negro tell even today, Kamiko preached the strict observance of fasts, cerimonial chants, and the total avoidance of social and economic relations with the Whites (especially, the military), as the means to obtain salvation in the promised paradise.

		He went back to the Baniwa to teach and find ways to harness the know-how of his own community.

	pursuing the spirit
		Traditional religious life was based largely on the cult of the sacred flutes and trumpets, Kuwai, representing the first ancestors of the phratries, on the importance of the religious specialists, the shamans and chanters ; and on a complex cycle of dance festivals coordinated with seasonal activities.
		It is their capacity to traverse spatial and temporal boundaries on the vertical and horizontal planes of the cosmos in an all-encompassing vision of the world as it was created and as it has changed historically.
		"Baniwa" is a name of undetermined origin but, since early colonial times, has been used by outsiders and is, today, used by the Indians as a term of self-reference.

		The Baniwa language belongs to the Arawak linguistic family and is closely related to the language of the Bare, Tsase, Warekena, and the Wakuénai.
		Today the remaining Baniwa live in Maroa, capital of the department of Casiquiare in the Venezuelan state of Amazonas, and in Colombia, near the Caño Aquio and the Isana River.
		However, since most Baniwa children attend criollo schools, it is often difficult to coordinate these collective activities with the school year calendar.

		Estas unidades "científicas" recebem nomes específicos na língua baniwa: hamariene (campinarana), édzaua (terra firme) e arapê (igapó), embora não designem especificamente o tipo de vegetação ou o tipo de solo, pois se referem mais precisamente a uma paisagem, com um tipo de vegetação e um tipo de solo associados.
		Segundo os Baniwa, o punamarimã consiste em um tipo de vegetação específico que ocorre no interior da mata de campinarana, ou seja, a presença de uma espécie dominante indica, nesse sistema, uma sub-unidade tipológica específica.
		Desde cedo na história de contato, os Baniwa têm participado numa série de atividades extrativas tais como a piaçava, borracha, sorva, castanha, minerais.

	Hupda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word Maku is not found in the Hup vocabulary, it probably comes from the Arawak (Baniwa) and means "he who does not have language" or "he who does not have our language".
		Hill differentiates the Kuripaco and Baniwa of Içana from the Maakunai {ma-ku-nai ma=personal pronoun aku=language nai=associative suffix =those who have no language} to designate other groups whose language the Hupda don’t understand.
		Judging based on this linguistic aspect, it is possible to confirm the hypothesis of Nimuendajú that the groups known as the Maku were in the region, living on the banks of the river, before the arrival of the Arawak, from the North by way of the Cassiquiari channel, and the Tukanos, from the West.
