“Los Saparas somos descendientes de un amplio grupo etnolingüístico precolombino. Gracias a nuestra sabiduria ancestral logramos desarrollar una lengua y una cultura muy precisa para describir nuestro medioambiente. En efecto, contamos con una semiótica única que nos permite tener un profundo conocimiento de las plantas y los animales de la amazonía. A través de nuestra cultura oral recopilamos los saberes en cuentos y leyendas, canciones y rituales formando un patrimonio cultural completo y amplio. Para el pueblo Sapara nuestro idioma es nuestra memoria y define nuestra identidad.”

“The Sapara are an ancient people, which have lived in what is now the Ecuadorian Amazon for millennia. During that time, they have developed an inseparable relationship with the land on which they live that directly defines their identity. Their knowledge of their environment (and thus themselves) through their language, stories, songs, and culture was recognized by UNESCO in 2001 as intangible cultural heritage.”
