Indigenous Partnerships
Ethical Collaboration with Indigenous Communities
At Amaroo, our relationship with Indigenous cultures is rooted in respect, humility, and long-term reciprocity. We recognize that the land we live and work on carries ancient lineages of wisdom, stewardship, and resilience that continue to shape the present.
Our partnerships are approached as living relationships, guided by consent, cultural integrity, and mutual benefit. Rather than extracting teachings or experiences, we prioritize ethical collaboration, fair exchange, and the honoring of Indigenous autonomy, knowledge systems, and lived realities.
Through these partnerships, guests may encounter opportunities for cultural learning, ceremony, and dialogue offered directly and intentionally by Indigenous knowledge holders themselves. These experiences are not performances, but invitations — held with care, context, and reverence for the traditions they represent.
Tsa'Chila
The Tsa’Chila are an Indigenous people of Ecuador known as the "Colorados," recognized for their deep relationship with the land and ancestral knowledge of plants, healing, and ritual. Their traditions reflect a living lineage of earth-based wisdom, cultural resilience, and reverence for the earth that continues to guide community life today. The Tsa’Chila have connections with the Yumbos, the oldest Indigenous tribe of Ecuador, and are fighting to preserve their wisdom, culture, and healing methods. Once numbering 20,000 in the 18th century, today, due to marginalization, they are a community of about 2,000.
Siekopai
The Siekopai are an Indigenous Amazonian people whose cosmology, ceremonies, and plant knowledge are deeply interwoven with the rainforest and its living intelligence. Their traditions carry a profound understanding of healing, vision, and balance, guided by ancestral teachings passed through generations. The Siekopai once numbered over 30,000, but now only 1,600 remain. This native tribe of wisdom keepers depends on the Amazon rainforest for survival, and its destruction puts them at risk of extinction.
Andean Shamans
Andean shamans are guardians of an ancient lineage rooted in reciprocity with Pachamama and the living forces of the mountains, waters, and land. Rather than positioning themselves as healers who "fix," they work as mediators — restoring balance between the individual, the community, the land, and the spirit world through ceremony, prayer, ancestral medicine, and energetic alignment. Their work emphasizes humility, lineage, and responsibility, with teachings passed down through lived experience rather than doctrine.
Walking Together
We invite you to learn, listen, and walk alongside these living traditions with reverence.
