They are remnants of several Indigenous groups that inhabited the region's mountains and were persecuted and expelled by colonizers starting in the 17th century. Today around 3,100 Kambiw\u00e1 live in several villages in the municipalities of Ibimirim, Inaj\u00e1 and Floresta and still preserve rituals such as the Prai\u00e1 and Tor\u00e9 dances, and value their elders' knowledge and oral traditions where spirituality is very important for their ethnic identity.

Avelin has been working on this research since June 2023.\u00a0\n\n- **The first angle of her research was to study decolonization in the socio-cultural behavior of contemporary Indigenous organizations.**\u00a0\n- **Setting up interviews with Indigenous Institutions : [Retornando a M\u00e3e terra: a descoloniza\u00e7\u00e3o do pensamento e das nossas organiza\u00e7\u00f5es](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11yuOIPp9VDuuO4wBFux6UETSnQgmJYawnNoQZ2T8oOI/edit)**\n\nAvelin : \u00a0\u201c*This first study encountered a number of difficulties due to the lack of access to a stable Internet network. Because they are located in the Roraima forest region, in the territory of the Yanomami people, even closer to Boa Vista. In general, the region suffers from poor Internet connectivity and the few, precarious data services available, which, while limited in scope and quality, are extremely costly for any indigenous community*\u201d.\n\n\u27a1 \ufe0f **The conclusion is that the reality with technology is really complex for Indigenous Peoples in LATAM, and it can only be achieved with a minimal investment on Internet Infrastructure and a formation.**\n\n- **Second research angle** : Avelin proposed to expand her research to a new framework, under the question of the importance of Indigenous Women as a crucial role for the preservation of future generations and creation of new social organisation. **The link with Web3 may seem less obvious than the decentralization of Indigenous Institutions, yet it is even more profound, Indigenous Women in Brazil who most need access to these new technologies to self-organize, support their economy and fight domestic violence, both communal and external.**\n\n\u201c*The sacredness of the female being in various cultures has been suppressed for the purposes of domination in a system in crisis, resulting in a rupture of women's fundamental link with the land and their territory*\u201d. **Defending Indigenous Women rights might be the ultimate way to regenerate the world and preserve future generations.**\n\n**For this second research angle we also started to show Avelin how to use [Claude-AI from Antropic](https://www.anthropic.com/index/claude-2), so far it has been a great experience for her, and opens new questions on how AI could assist Indigenous Peoples to defend their rights.** \n## Raising Indigenous Voices in Web3\n\nTogether with 6 Indigenous representatives of different ethnic groups of Brazil, Avelin has been participating and raising her voice during GG17 and GG18 Gitcoin Radio. An action that we want to keep on and increase during GG19 while also implementing Video Live sessions so as to share images from different Indigenous communities and projects .\u00a0\n  \n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/fn_Xr_Kg_f941Z_5QPKFNMoZF5rFojlYRodBu2pL1us0Fju8GdeweKnqa2d1-HQM6s7FIKg49C6_VQfj7If3UrDkXS6r0PiHGLji1gbU1fLax-vp05ZFc0DqxBOeTmSSmJm0SO4NaOgoq7S_8LAdGxM)![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/qSsnV0HPInOqsHhTFgdi6fSec3V2zWP98symT65apNIXitS1yAS08jZSGG069D3pH9bKl83ScEA9IO6W1M3xrvJJ5nYLFPluQebS0P4LBH7NBTa9ya_m5Cs1d533h5SXUIue5fVgs1iOVYiTTWg_jQ8)\n\n  ---\n  \n# \ud83d\udfe2 Use of funds \ud83d\udfe2\n\nThis campaign is dedicated for the research of Avelin, so it will be used to:\n\n- **Enable Avelin to continue her full time work in the field;**\n- **Facilitate Avelin travels** to reach Indigenous Women events and meetings;\n- **Purchase better equipment** for her mission to run interviews;\n- **Facilitate the communication and translation of her research**;\n\n**Also there is a possibility to set up an emergency fund for Indigenous women in situations of distress and violence;**\u00a0\n\n---\n# Wrapping up (\ud83c\udf44,\ud83d\udfe2)\n\n**Mycelia's mission is to link the anti-colonial freedoms of Indigenous Peoples with technological tools that promote and encourage self-determination, decentralization and the democratization of finance for communities**.\n\n**Future is Ancestral, and if like us you want to defend the roots of humanity to preserve future generations, come to support Mycelia and the voices of Indigenous Peoples in GG19.**\u00a0\n\n---\n\n**List of the current Indigenous Ethnic Groups we are connected with, mainly from LATAM (*Note, at this stage only few ethnic groups of this list learned about Mycelia, but are part of our direct network*).**\u00a0  \n\n- [Algonquin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algonquin_people)\n- [Ashuar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achuar)\n- [Aymara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aymara_people)\n- [Desana](https://pib.socioambiental.org/en/Povo:Desana)\n- [Huni Kuin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huni_Kuin)\n- [Iny Karaj\u00e1](https://pib.socioambiental.org/en/Povo:Karaj%C3%A1)\n- [Guarani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaran%C3%AD_people)\n- [Kambiw\u00e1](https://pib.socioambiental.org/pt/Povo:Kambiw%C3%A1)\n- [Kichwa Sarayaku](https://sarayaku.org/)\n- [Kukuma](https://perujungle.com/kukama/)\n- [Munduruku](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munduruku)\n- [Noke Koi](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noke_Koi)\n- [Paiter Surui](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paiter)\n- [Quechua](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quechua_people)\n- [Sami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi)\n- [Sapara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1para)\n- [Shanenawa](https://pib.socioambiental.org/en/Povo:Shanenawa)\n- [Shipibo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipibo-Conibo)\n- [Tupinamb\u00e1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupinamb%C3%A1_people)\n- [Witoto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witoto)\n- [Yawanawa](https://pib.socioambiental.org/en/Povo:Yawanaw%C3%A1)\n\n![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/N9aaz6ktNyVwCm7j4TWcNvbZt0tj-M3C5P_GMiglVsUreB_7rOjDxqYJYODTPAxHJWXRMugHa0tZEN5mK-k7_Jxp5XaOnLsHrQB0DVRbHHE452Uv_mS3rGcZ_UZkUg_PYsLwhA1FQSw4Mb3fSsNQivM)", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "mycelia-uni", "projectTwitter": "mycelia_uni"}, "recipient": "0xC5ed1860d7Cf288236b2c7CD246Bf4477fB39E19"}}
