Resumen/Contexto Histórico
The oral tradition of the Mapoyo and its symbolic points of reference within the ancestral territory encompass a body of narratives that constitute the collective memory of the Mapoyo people. It is symbolically and permanently linked to a number of places along the Orinoco River in Venezuelan Guayana. Tradition bearers recount the narratives while carrying out their daily activities, reinforcing the self-identification of the community. Transmission is currently endangered by outward migration, land encroachment by the mining industry, and diminishing use of the Mapoyo language.
