Yaminahua People
The Yaminahua people are an indigenous group residing primarily in the Amazon rainforest of Peru. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional practices, languages, and a deep connection to their natural environment. The Yaminahua speak the Yaminahua language, which is part of the larger Panoan language family.
Historically, the Yaminahua have relied on hunting, fishing, and agriculture for their sustenance.
