Offered by the\u00a0Indigenous Cultural and Training Centre(CCFI)<\/a>, coordinated by the\u00a0Fraternity \u2013 International Humanitarian Federation(FIHF)<\/a>, the Vov\u00f3 Barro (Granny Clay) workshop made it possible for indigenous members of the Macuxi tribe to share a little of the ancestry of their culture in the making of clay pots for indigenous people of seven other ethnic groups from Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana.<\/p>\n\n Working with clay is an indigenous tradition that has been passed on from generation to generation over the centuries. Clay cookware, which can seem like common and even simple utensils, carry stories and an enormous importance for the life of these communities; they contribute in maintaining their identity and supporting their families through group work.<\/p>\n\n
