Who are the Waorani people?
The Waorani People (Huaorani), are native Amerindians of the Amazonian Region in Ecuador. The Waorani (Huaorani) People are a group of native Amerindians from the Amazonian Region of Ecuador.
The ancestral lands of these peoples are located between the Curaray River and the Napo river, approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of El Coca. These homelands–approximately 120 miles wide by 100 miles (from north to south) – are extensively threatened by oil exploration and illegal logging practices.
In the last forty years, the Waorani shifted away from hunting and gathering to living primarily in permanent forest settlements. Approximately five communities, however, have refused to communicate with the outside world. They continue to live in more isolated areas.
