Bora IndiansSurvival of a Native Culture - Page 3 of 5
One interesting fact is
that the Bora community living near Iquitos does not seem to be deteriorating as one
might suspect. One key ingredient in maintaining a native culture is
language, and the Bora natives near Iquitos are passing their language
(and consequently, their culture) on to their children. If you talk to the
Bora children, you will discover that they readily understand the Bora language
and that the Boras near Iquitos are real indigenous Amazonians.
Unfortunately, not all those in the Amazon who claim to be indigenous
Amazonians speak an indigenous language or know anything about native
Amazonian cultures.
