Krohokrenhum leaves a record for his people while still alive: “you will see my shadow and will be able to learn.”

Second Rigoberta-Menchu Awards: best film, category community

The Cacique or Captain Krohokrenhum is the living memory of the Parkatejé people who live in the Para forest in Brazil. This video is part of an effort to recover ancestral knowledge that could well be lost without the contribution of an elder who devotes his last years to the continuation of a threatened culture. RigobertaMenchu Second Prize is awarded to Krohokrenhu: "Eu não posso morrer de graça", in recognition of this important effort to bring back an imperilled Amerindian language and culture.
