This study investigates the initiatives of Rede Wayuri, an indigenous communication
network in the Amazon region, which uses audio productions on streaming platforms
as a form of resistance, as well as to preserve and disseminate traditions, languages
and knowledge. Approaching the perspective of indigenous net-activism, the
research comprised the activities of the Rede Wayuri, adopting a qualitative
approach. The analysis encompassed the network's productions in the period from
January 1 to May 30, 2023, which occurred after the creation of the Ministry of
Indigenous Peoples during the mandate of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The
methodology used included a bibliographic review (Gil, 2004) and a semi-structured
interview (Boni and Quaresma, 2005) with the network's presenter, Cláudia Ferraz,
from Wanano people. As results, the research highlights indigenous net-activism
strategies adopted by the Wayuri Network, which include audio production as a
resistance strategy and the promotion of relevant discussions addressing topics such
as leaders and institutions, indigenous organization, indigenous lands and the
environment, health and community well-being, initiatives and the indigenous
movement.
