Revitalize Shipibo Language through Radio Program
Organization information
Alianza Arkana
Location: Yarinacocha, Peru
Summary
"Axenon Ikanwe" is the first indigenous language radio to produce entirely in Shipibo. This project will support Shipibo language revitalization throughout the Peruvian Amazon. Radio has always been an effective way of reaching and incorporating indigenous communities living deep in the rainforest as well as in urban settings. Axenon Ikanwe works to recover ancestral knowledge and affirm Shipibo cultural values through encouraging Shipibos to be proud of speaking their native language.
