First journey into the Tsimane’ Territory

July 11, 2025

The IEK-CHANGES team embarks on their first journey into the Tsimane’ Territory. This trip marks a very special beginning. As they glide through the waters of the Maniqui (this living, breathing river that threads together worlds!!!) they are not just traveling into Tsimane’ Territory, but into a profoundly rich lifeworld, shaped by generations of knowledge and marvelous constellations of sacred stories. Let the pulse of the river guide us gently into this new chapter!
