Valued greetings steemians. Receive my sincere gratitude for your attention and support with these after where we have a good time sharing beauty and magic of nature, having added value the socialization of knowledges and academic knowledge to understand better culture, history and environmental sciences in general.

Today I present aspects partner environmental of the indigenous ethnos Waraos, which represents the second bigger association of our originating towns in Venezuela. Geographically they find themselves settled in the plain of the Delta of the Orinoco, spanning territory of the states Sucre, Delta Amacuro and Monagas, to this last in the population of San Jose of Buja, placed to around 57 kilometers of Maturin, capital of the state Monagas, where the present photos correspond. Without more preamble neither presentation, let's know a little on culture, habitat and use of the surroundings on behalf of our indigenous brothers.

They are an American Indian town with an indigenous tongue a little insulated; However, in areas located of Guyana and enclaves deltanos of Surinam talks to each other this tongue. Your origin dates of over 19,000 years, that way demonstrate it anthropological education accomplished in the group of houses La Pitchfork, outer edge deltaic.

In Spanish language the term Warao allows to translate it and to understand it better, that way in this indigenous tongue Wa comes to be canoa (small boat and median of craft manufacturing), in the meantime arao means gente; In the meantime, talks to each other of Genta of ship, are gente of water just the same shows up in the photo where four children navigate in a canoe; If we visualize after the central photo, a second ship with two children further can be seen.

At the back of this spectacular water mirror the palafittes are seen, talks to each other of structures immovables manufactured with wood and raised on the hydric biological body native; The main supports are hammered to the aquatic bed, this way edify their houses.

By nature they are collectors, hunters and fishers. This Maraisa (friend) is fixing a beautiful catfish drawn a line on (Pseudoplatystoma tigrinum) that he fished in the estuary of Pedernales. An estuary is the influence zone where the sweet waters to the sea or oceans flow. These salt waters are the habitat preferred of sorts of sweet waters like the striped catfish.

That way, in this dock of San Jose of Buja this indigenous town has basted an interesting chain partner productive and economic that permits them to satisfy your base essentials. If it is near by this population and he wants to acquire proteic cool products to accessible prices, he should appear in person to early hours of the day in the left bank of this dock where he will find variety of piscicultural sorts of fresh waters and marinas, because many find themselves organized and they have big ships with outboard motors that allows them accomplishing fishing out to sea.

My wife @arac posing with two Mullets (Mugil liza), species that extract from the estuaries and out to sea, since a specimen of marine nature has adapted to briny and sweet environments in spite of being.

In order to finalize, one panoramic of a great ship where activities of fishing in the estuaries and high sea come true. At the back becomes evident the predominant vegetation of palm tree mirity palm (Mauritia flexuose), main raw material for the manufacturing of canoes and curiaras (ships of oar); While the autochthonous birds of considerable size soar through the skies. This far my contribution.
