The Wampis are an indigenous group of people living in Peru.They speak the Wampis language which is part of the Huambisa language group.[1] The Wampis have formed the first Autonomous Indigenous Government in Peru.[2]
Demographics
[edit]There are around 10,613 people who make up around 100 different Wampis communities in Peru.[2]
Government
[edit]The Wampis are part of an autonomous indigenous (or territorial) government (GTA) in Peru.[3] Representatives of constituent communities of the Wampis are called Irunin.[3]
History
[edit]In 2009, around 3,000 Awajun and Wampis people blocked an area called Devil's Curve in Bagua Province in order to demand the repeal of decrees that would threaten native lands and resources.[4]
The Wampis community formed the first Peruvian Autonomous Indigenous Goverment (GTA) on November 29, 2015.[2] The creation of the GTA will help protect 1.3 million hectares of land considered to be ancestral territory for the Wampis.[5]
