Colombia: Noanama Canoe Parking


Pulling sugarcane with her left hand, a Noanama woman steps out of a canoe at the bottom of her family’s tambo, a large wall-less hut on stilts above the Docordo River in Colombia’s Choco rain forest. Floating on the water are canoes for every member of the family. Children get canoes fitting their own sizes as soon as they can walk—to play with them while learning to use them. In a road-less world, moving is over rivers.
