Communication, citizenship and indigenous languages in Wayuri informative report

Abstract

In this text, we present an approach to Wayuri Report, from the Rio Negro Indigenous Communicators Nework – Wayuri (2017-), from the perspective of indigenous digital (Barbosa, 2019) and citizen ethnocommunication, arguing that it is a successful contemporary experience of community communication (Miani, 2011). The Report can be seen as an informative journalist product, however, it presentes traits that allows us to understand it as an expanded experience and practice in relation to conventional jornalism rules (TUPINAMBÁ, 2016) from the perspective of ethnomedia (Renata Tupinambá, 2016; Kaseker E Ribeiro, 2018; Santi E Araújo, 2022) and practiced communicative citizenship (Costa Filho, 2021). Based on Maldonado, Carneiro and Anápuáka Muniz Tupinambá Hã Hã Hãe (2021) we understand that the Wayuri Network and its Report are part of a scenario marked by the existence of a “potent Brazilian indigenous ethnomedia ambience” that favours the struggle by including in elaboration, in the process and in the result, indigenous logics in their diversities, with the presence of languages and other indigenous elements of the Rio Negro’s territory.
