Awaete Culture and History (Asurini)

As a complement to our Awaete language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Awaete tribe and their society.

Sponsored Links

The emphasis of these pages is on Awaetes and other American Indians as living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Awaete history is interesting and important, but the Awaete 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 real issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Suggestions for new links are always welcome.
