˜Akawaio Culture and History –

As a complement to our Akawaio language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Akawaio tribe and their society. The emphasis of these pages is on Akawaios and other American Indians as living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Akawaio history is interesting and important, but the Akawaio Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Please contact us if you have an Akawaio link to add.
