This project is a joint initiative between the National Native Addictions Partnership Foundation and the Organización de Desarollo De Las Communidades Fronterizas Del Cenepa to improve the quality of life for the Awajun and Wampis Nations of Peru through the revival of their ancestral knowledge. The general goal is to promote a community-based and culturally-oriented sustainable development model to improve living conditions while enabling the communities to maintain and value their traditional wisdom. By fostering educational exchanges between Elders and youth, they increase their knowledge in the conservation and management of their natural resources, in securing their livelihoods and maintaining healthy lifestyles. This project is funded through the Indigenous Peoples Partnership Program (IPPP), a pilot program that supports the development priorities of Indigenous peoples in the Latin America and Caribbean region. The IPPP supports initiatives conceived both by Indigenous organizations in that region and by their Canadian Aboriginal partners. The partnerships created through the IPPP contribute to the sustainable development of Indigenous peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean through an exchange of knowledge, experience, expertise, and existing models.
