The Wayana Hunters: Masters of the Tropical Wilds | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

The Wayana people, indigenous to the tropical forests of Guyana in South America, are among the last guardians of a fading culture. For centuries, their survival has been intricately tied to nature, with hunting as a vital lifeline. Wayana hunters, like Mimisiku, embody a deep respect for Mother Nature, seeing themselves as part of its delicate balance. Mimisiku’s overnight river hunts, where he captures crocodiles and wild game with a lasso, showcase skills passed down through generations. However, the Wayana way of life is under threat. As industrialization expands and modern influences seep into their world, the younger generation is drawn to city life and technology. Education, once foreign to their traditions, is now a daily routine, leaving ancestral knowledge at risk of being forgotten. Yet, those who choose to remain in their ancestral lands offer a flicker of hope, striving to preserve the cultural identity of the Wayanas against the tide of modernization.
