Abstract

In this chronicle, I look back to fragments of experiences lived over fifteen years of work, research and friendship between/with Tukano, Desana, Yeba, Tuyuka, Siriana, Bará and Tariano residents of the middle and upper stretches of the Tiquié River, a tributary of the Uaupés River. It is located in the Indigenous territory of Alto Rio Negro, Northwest Amazon.  In a free, non-linear and perhaps indirect way, I seek to present part of what I learned and how I learned the knowledge that these women showed me about life and death.
