Yawanawa Solar Energy Project: The Yawanawa Solar Energy Project will be the first Solar Project in Indigenous Villages in the State of Acre, in the Brazilian Amazon. It will provide Solar Energy to two Yawanawa Villages; 'Aldeia Sagrada' (the 'Sacred Village') and 'Aldeia Nova Esperança' (the 'New Hope Village').  The project will be completed in two phases; the first phase is highlighted in this Gofundme campaign and will supply the 'Sacred Village' with the infrastructure to be powered by  Solar Energy. Upon completion of Phase 1 we will proceed to Phase 2 which will supply the 'New Hope Village', a much larger village,  with the infrastructure to be powered by Solar Energy. The Yawanawa Solar Energy Project is an urgent project in an attempt to minimize the threats of an increasingly hostile Government that has surged in Brazil in the past four years, coupled with the new challenges the Yawanawa villages are experiencing as a result of the Covid 19 Pandemic. The current political climate in Brazil is incentivizing deforestation for cattle ranching and the planting of toxic monocultures such as soy, and is encouraging land grabbing and turning a blind eye to the resurgence of gold mining. In addition, the current COVID Pandemic has gravely affected the indigenous populations, and taken the lives of many Indigenous elders; an entire generation of warriors and peaceful activists are dying from the lack of a functioning Health Care system in the remote parts of the Amazon, and the refusal of the already deficient Brazilian Health Care System to attend to Indigenous communities unless they reside in urban areas. Sadly, in 2020 we are witnessing a tragedy of epic proportions happening before our eyes. The Cultural genocide of the Indigenous Populations of Brazil is at at its worst in decades and the Ecological threat to the Amazon Basin in Brazil is at an all time peak.  Deforestation is a constant threat to the indigenous populations in the Brazilian Amazon. In these times of accelerated deforestation it is very important to preserve the pristine nature of the forest. By creating a sustainable Solar Project in the Yawanawa ‘Sacred Village’, we will be minimizing pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuels as well as minimizing noise pollution that disturbs the peace of the forest and the habitats of animals and plants alike.  &gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt; About the Yawanawá People &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt; <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/50711184_159838907998541_r.jpeg" alt="50711184_159838907998541_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> There are about 1200 Yawanawá living in the Brazilian state of Acre, in villages along the banks of the Gregório river, where they have made their homes since time immemorial.  The Yawanawá people's first contact with the non-indigenous world happened around the fourteenth century. It was an intense period of much conflict with the rubber barons and missionaries who invaded their lands and tried to forbid Yawanawá language, culture and spirituality. In the 1980s, Chief Biraci Nixiwaka Brasil led his people in the struggle for the recognition of their native territories, and the Yawanawá became the first indigenous people to obtain the official rights to their lands in the state of Acre. The Yawanawá have since then reclaimed their sacred medicines, rituals, songs and dances, festivals, games, traditional body painting and adornment, artwork and food, in a profound journey of cultural revival.   &gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt; The Sacred Village &gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;  The Sacred Village (Aldeia Sagrada) is the sacred ancestral sanctuary of the Yawanawa from the times when the entire tribe lived together united in a single village. It is there where the burial grounds of the Yawanawa elders and Pajés (Shamans) exist until today.  It was in the Sacred Village that the first contact with Western society was made. This contact marked the beginning of an era of repression by the missionaries and an era of enslavement for the exploitation of rubber. Decades later, when the Yawanawa regained the rights to their land, they stopped living in the Sacred Village and began to open new villages and re-writing their history.  These days, since the beginning of the 21st century, the Yawanawa are living new times. A great revival of Yawanawa culture, customs and spirituality has been taking place. This past October of 2019, the Annual Yawa Festival, in its 18th Edition, was celebrated in the Sacred Village for the first time. A new Temple was recently built and inaugurated in the Festival. The Temple and the Sacred Village are once again serving as the center that unites all the different Yawanawa Villages who join there to hold Ceremonies and meetings, that continue their tradition and empower the continuation of their culture.  The Sacred Village is the Spiritual center of Yawanawa culture; it is the place where all apprentices on the path of Yawanawa Spirituality undergo their Spiritual trainings and ‘dietas’ to become Pajés (Shamans). The land is blessed with fertile soil and rich biodiversity, including a large garden of medicinal plants preserving Yawanawa Ancestral Botanical plant knowledge. Today, the Chief of the Yawanawa Biraci Nixiwaka Brasil, his wife Putanny and their children Nawashahu, Ykashahu, Muka and Veiny have returned to live in the Sacred Village. Here is his message to us followed by a video message: “This moment that humanity is passing has also shaped and transformed the perception of the Yawanawa. There is so much Sun here in the forest, why should we be using gasoline. Gasoline is so complicated, we need to send someone to town 9 hours away by boat and another 2 hours by car just to buy the gasoline. In these times of the pandemic going to the city to purchase gasoline puts us at risk of contamination. We need to use generators that are so wasteful and often break. Instead we can set up a system of Solar energy here that will last for a good 20 years. And the best part is that the Solar system is sustainable and does not make any noise. This allows the animals to come closer to us and does not scare them away. Solar energy can be used for all our needs: pumping water to the showers and the well, refrigeration and freezers, retreats and outlets. We hope to realize this dream of sustainability before the end of 2020. We have the technicians and mechanical team prepared to come set everything up, we just need the support of our Global family to make this dream into a reality.” <a href="https://youtu.be/YfALbz15yvI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Video Message from Nixiwaka</a>  Thank you for taking the time to read this presentation.

Irá fornecer energia Solar para duas Aldeias Yawanawa; a 'Aldeia Sagrada' e a 'Aldeia Nova Esperança'. O projeto será concluído em duas fases; a primeira fase é descrita nesta campanha do Gofundme e fornecerá à 'Aldeia Sagrada' a infraestrutura para ser alimentada por Energia Solar. Após a conclusão da Fase 1, prosseguiremos para a Fase 2, que fornecerá à 'Aldeia Nova Esperança', uma aldeia muito maior, com a infraestrutura a ser alimentada por Energia Solar. O Projeto de Energia Solar Yawanawa é um projeto urgente na tentativa de minimizar as ameaças de um governo cada vez mais hostil que surgiu no Brasil nos últimos quatro anos, juntamente com os novos desafios que as aldeias Yawanawa estão enfrentando como resultado da pandemia Covid 19. O clima político atual no Brasil está incentivando o desmatamento para a pecuária e o plantio de monoculturas tóxicas, como a soja, e está incentivando a grilagem de terras e fechando os olhos para o ressurgimento da mineração de ouro. Além disso, a atual pandemia COVID afetou gravemente as populações indígenas e tirou a vida de muitos anciãos indígenas; uma geração inteira de guerreiros e ativistas pacíficos está morrendo pela falta de um sistema de saúde em funcionamento nas partes remotas da Amazônia e pela recusa do já deficiente sistema de saúde Brasileiro em atender às comunidades indígenas, a menos que residam em áreas urbanas. Infelizmente, em 2020 estamos testemunhando uma tragédia de proporções épicas acontecendo diante de nossos olhos. O genocídio cultural das populações indígenas do Brasil está no seu pior momento em décadas e a ameaça ecológica à Bacia Amazônica no Brasil está em um pico histórico. O desmatamento é uma ameaça constante para as populações indígenas da Amazônia Brasileira. Nestes tempos de desmatamento acelerado, é muito importante preservar a natureza intocada da floresta. Ao criar um Projeto Solar sustentável na ‘Aldeia Sagrada’ Yawanawa, estaremos minimizando a poluição causada pela queima de combustíveis fósseis, bem como minimizando a poluição sonora que perturba a paz da floresta e os habitats de animais e plantas. Os Yawanawa- Os Yawanawá são uma população de aproximadamente 1200 pessoas, que habitam as margens do Rio Gregório, na Amazônia Acreana, desde tempos imemoriais. O primeiro contato do povo Yawanawá com não-indígenas aconteceu por volta do século XIX. Foi um período intenso de muitos conflitos com os seringalistas e missionários que invadiram suas terras e tentaram proibir a cultura e a espiritualidade Yawanawá. Nos anos 80, através da luta do Cacique Biraci Nixiwaka Brasil junto ao seu povo, os Yawanawá conquistaram a demarcação de sua Terra Indígena, tornando-se o primeiro povo indígena a conseguir essa regularização no estado do Acre.  Desde então, o povo Yawanawá vem realizando um profundo trabalho de resgate cultural, através das medicinas sagradas, dos rituais, cantos, danças, festivais, brincadeiras, pinturas corporais, artesanato e culinária. A ‘Aldeia Sagrada' A ‘Aldeia Sagrada’ é o santuário ancestral sagrado dos Yawanawa desde os tempos em que toda a tribo vivia unida numa única aldeia. É lá que os cemitérios dos anciãos Yawanawa e Pajés  existem até hoje.  Foi na 'Aldeia Sagrada’ que o primeiro contato com a sociedade ocidental foi feito. Esse contato marcou o início de uma era de repressão pelos missionários e uma era de escravização pela exploração da borracha. Décadas mais tarde, quando os Yawanawa recuperaram os direitos de suas terras, eles pararam de viver na ‘Aldeia Sagrada’ e começaram a abrir novas aldeias e a reescrever sua história.  Um grande renascimento da cultura, costumes e espiritualidade Yawanawa ocorreu, e hoje os Yawanawa estão vivendo um novo tempo. Em Outubro do ano 2019, o Festival Yawa, em sua 18a edição, foi celebrado na ‘Aldeia Sagrada’ pela primeira vez. Um novo centro cerimonial foi recentemente construído e inaugurado no festival. O centro cerimonial e a aldeia sagrada estão mais uma vez servindo como o centro que une todas as diferentes aldeias Yawanawa. E lá na ‘Aldeia Sagrada’ que se juntam para realizar cerimônias e reuniões que mantêm sua tradição e fortalecem a continuação de sua cultura.  A ‘Aldeia Sagrada’ é o centro espiritual da cultura Yawanawa; é o lugar onde todos os aprendizes no caminho da Espiritualidade Yawanawa passam por seus treinamentos espirituais e "dietas" para se tornarem Pajés (xamãs). A terra é abençoada com solo fértil e uma rica biodiversidade, incluindo um grande jardim de plantas medicinais que preservam o conhecimento das plantas Medicinais e Ancestrais Yawanawa.  Hoje, o Cacique Biraci Nixiwaka Brasil, sua esposa Putanny e seus filhos Nawashahu, Ykashahu, Muka e Veiny voltaram a morar na ‘Aldeia Sagrada’.  Aqui gostaríamos de compartilhar a mensagem do Cacique Nixiwaka e em seguida uma mensagem de vídeo: “Este momento que a humanidade está passando também moldou e transformou a percepção dos Yawanawa. Há tanto sol aqui na floresta, por que deveríamos usar combustível? O combustível é tão complicado.  Precisamos mandar alguém para a cidade a 9 horas de barco e outras 2 horas de carro só para comprar o combustível. Nestes tempos de pandemia, ir à cidade comprar coloca-nos em risco de contaminação. Precisamos usar geradores que são tão perdulários e frequentemente quebram. Em vez disso, podemos estabelecer aqui um sistema de energia solar que durará uns bons 20 anos. E o melhor é que o sistema Solar é sustentável e não faz barulho. Isso permite que os animais se aproximem de nós e não ficam assustados. A energia solar pode ser utilizada para todas as nossas necessidades: bombeamento de água para chuveiros e pra tirar agua do poço artesanal, refrigeração e congelação, pra nossos retiros e as tomadas elétricas.  Esperamos realizar este sonho de sustentabilidade antes do final de 2020. Temos a equipe técnica e mecânica preparada para vir montar tudo, só precisamos do apoio da nossa família Global para tornar esse sonho em realidade.” <a href="https://youtu.be/YfALbz15yvI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://youtu.be/YfALbz15yvI" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/YfALbz15yvI</a></a>  Obrigado por tomar do seu tempo para ler esta apresentação.
