Photo by @erikalarsen888/ Santiago Yahuarcani is a member of the Huitoto Aymeni clan originally coming from La Chorrera a town on the border of Peru and Colombia. His family was removed from their land during the era of exploitation of rubber in the Amazon. Santiago comes from the Jaguar Clan and his last name translates to ‘blood of the jaguar’. The jaguar for the Huitoto people is a powerful and sacred animal. Their shamans can take the form of the jaguars for hunting and other purposes. Santiago and his wife Nereda are now living in Pevas, Peru. They are a family of artists and storytellers who dedicate their life to the preservation of their people’s identity and the knowledge of their ancestors and spiritual world. They create jaguar masks to honor and perpetuate the forms of transformation from human to jaguar. The masks that hold this power are called Janaba. This work is part of a larger project on the communication between humans and the natural world. | These images are being shared in celebration of the 2018 National Geographic Explorers Festival, which brings together innovative scientists, conservationists, explorers, and storytellers from around the world to share their discoveries, insights, and solutions for creating a more sustainable future. To showcase the work of this community, @Cara_Santa_Maria —an award-winning science journalist, the creator of the popular podcast “Talk Nerdy,” and a correspondent on National Geographic’s Explorer television program—has selected six images from photographers who are also National Geographic Explorers.
