Ancient Venezuela: Indigenous Tribes

The old one Venezuela It was one of the places where they saw the most diverse civilizations which, although they did not become as developed as others in America as was the case of the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans, but which managed to have outstanding cultural customs that until the day of Today it is maintained, there have been many indigenous civilizations that have not managed to prosper for various reasons, not only because of the conquerors who destroyed many of them but because of the advancement of modern life and technology, however there are currently many very precarious civilizations on Venezuela, especially in the Orinoco delta, as is the case of the Wayu.


Formerly before the arrival of the conquerors Venezuela It had many civilizations, some of them underdeveloped, but they had a very abundant population as is the case of the Waraos, who had a number of members of about 60.000 to 70.000, this very particular tribe survived thanks to the resources that nature He provided them, especially the fresh fruits of the jungle, such as bananas or guavas, they were also hunters, this allowed them to acquire their breath like fish or wild boars, the cattle at this time had not been brought to America.
As well Venezuela It has other less populous tribes, they are Viawani and the Waraweete, they were located in the Orinoco strip in the current region of the Macuro delta and they subsist in a precarious way, they were not nomads, and their culture was rudimentary, many of them survive Thanks to natural resources, but others have not managed to stay in time and for various reasons their population has been reduced, especially for economic reasons.
Despite that Venezuela It was a region very rich in vegetation, natural resources, and many civilizations also inhabited today, some still exist, which are protected along with their natural habitat, and it is about conserving their customs and traditions, such as the elaboration of vessels and their crafts in goldsmithing.
