  1. "El antropólogo y lingüista Pedro Cerdeira señala que, para los Ticuna, 'la historia no es lineal, sino circular. Los relatos no empiezan ni terminan: vuelven a contarse con cada generación, pero cada vez se adaptan a lo que la comunidad necesita escuchar'. "

  2. Would you like to accompany my friend on a walk past various Amazonian fruits her family grows?

    --Caímo, mango, asaí (açai), chontaturo, and aguaje.

    In Tikuna, caímo = ta'u, mango I don't know, asaí =waira, chontaduro she just taught me in this video (something like "ntuh" with a rising tone on the "tuh" part), and aguaje = tema.

  3. Mimosa pudica "not only has an extremely developed sense of touch, but can distinguish among different stimuli and even change its behavior, no longer remaining closed once it learns that a stimulus isn’t dangerous."

    Here it is in its home territory. In Tikuna it's called "naiatü peweë, "leaves that love to sleep." #plants #amazonas #tikuna #ticuna

    And here's a link to the article I got the quote from: microcosmssacredplants.org/pla

  4. I told my friend and tutor that thanks to her lessons I was able to understand the Tikuna spoken in the film (well, a lot of it, anyway), and she said the Tikuna-speaking character is her uncle! She sent me this, circling him. #languages #IndigenousLanguages #Ticuna #Tikuna #Amazonas #Amazonia

  5. Congratulations, casabe, on being recognized by UNESCO as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity

    All of us who have ever had you already knew that you are delicious, but nice to have that fact recognized far and wide.

    Photo is my friend's mom letting me help make some. The Ticuna word for casabe is dowü. #UNESCO #IntangibleCulturalHeritage #casabe #CassavaBread #Ticuna #Tikuna #Amazonas #Colombia #Leticia #PatrimonioCulturalInmaterial

  6. My friend in the Amazon sent me this video of butterflies by her boyfriend's fishing boat. #Amazonas #Amazonia #Peru #Ticuna #Tikuna #Cocama #mariposas #butterflies

  7. ¡¡conseguí un diccionario ticuna-castellano!!

    It is (predictably) produced by missionaries, but the linguist whose lectures I'm watching (several years after the fact) says it's not bad. He also says it's the only dictionary there currently is, so ... SCORE!

  8. Song in Tikuna by Djuenatikuna, a Tikuna singer--she's performed all over, including at MIT. I think the song title means "thanks to my grandmothers" youtube.com/watch?v=VKP5FHF2DU #Amazonia, #Amazonas, #ticuna, #tikuna, #youtube #Brasil #Brazil #indigenous
