SLIDE 1

  • The Huaorani (wow-rah-nee) are the indigenous (native) people of the Yasuni region of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Approximately 2,000 in number, they kept outsiders out of their region at least since the time of the Conquistador—that is, until the arrival of the multinational oil companies in the 1980s. Now, the Huaorani face their greatest challenge as eight oil concessions are located on their territory and Petrobras, the Brazilian national oil company, prepares to build the third major oil road into ancestral Huaorani lands.
