The magnificent feathers of forest birds such as macaws, skillfully tied together to make garlands, headdresses, and armbands, testify to the skill of the young hunters and are much-coveted trophies. When it comes to creating Ashaninka adornments, they resemble beautiful floral arrangements.

The Ashaninka, descendants of the Antis who once inhabited the eastern Andes, have resisted subjugation for centuries. Their distinctive architecture, clothing, and family house organization reflect their enduring culture. Their territory spans the eastern Andes to Acre, with around 100,000 Ashaninka, including 2,000 in Brazil. Mirella Ricciardi supported their fight for the demarcation of the Terra Indígena do Rio Amônia, achieved in 1992.
