The Yawanawá - Rio Branco, BR 364, Tarauacá, Ponte Sobre
The Yawanawá tribe people are one of many indigenous people of Brazil. They, that are a few hundred of Yawanawá people, live in small villages or settlements along the narrow Gregorio river.
Yawanawá - politics and enterprise
The Yawanawá tribe have now secured the rights to around 187,000 ha (there are different figures mentioned, and some talk of 198,000 ha) of land which makes up the so-called Rio Gregório Indigenous Territory. This is roughly just over half the size of the county of Kent in South East England.
