Kuahí Museum of the Indigenous Peoples of Oiapoque Website: Kuahí Museum of the Indigenous Peoples of Oiapoque Website #2: Kuahí Museum


 * The initiative behind the museum’s creation came from four ethnic groups living in the extreme north of Brazil, on the border with French Guiana: Palikur, Galibi Kali’na, Karipuna and Galibi Marworno. In development since the late 1990s, the space was born in 2007 aiming to give visibility to indigenous culture and to act as a center of reference, memory, documentation and research for the indigenous people of the region.
