Nawabu Culture
A Fiscally Sponsored Project of Holistic Underground Inc.
The word “Nawabu” is an Indigenous Brazilian word that means “all of the people,” and the organization's purpose is to bring about transformative social change through Indigenous wisdom, arts & culture, community, and spirituality.
Fiscally sponsored by Holistic Underground, Nawabu Culture works with Indigenous leaders and their communities in the Brazilian Amazon Forest and support them with cultural preservation, creating economic opportunities, and amplifying their environmental stewardship, all through a variety of projects.
Mission
Being a bridge and bringing people together from all walks of life to reconnect with Indigenous wisdom and bring forth a collective culture that supports life and healing.
COVID-19 Relief Program
During the pandemic, we were able to provide immediate relief to more than 14 indigenous communities in Brazil, as well we installed a water pump system that benefited more than 300 families, installed solar panels for sustainable electricity, and provided agricultural tools to the villages.
Community Engagement
Throughout this project, we reconnected indigenous communities practices through music events, festivals and social interactions that also worked to face and discuss the socio-political problems that the Amazonian community faces
