A member of the Wiwa ethnic explains the spiritual journey he had to go through as a tribe member at the earlier stage of his life. He explains how the tribe shares the knowledge about life and nature to the youth only when they reach a specific stage in life. During that time they are assigned a knowledgeable elder member that is going to be their personal teacher for a certain period. This person is responsible to teach everything someone needs to know about life. Different ceremonies and their symbolisms are also explained.
