Finally in April 2013, we start our first NIK (Network of Indigenous knowledge) project workshop between The COMARU (Urubamba River Machiguenga Council), represented by our Machiguenga friends of the Timpia native community in the low Urubamba River and the YRITWC (Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council) from Alaska. A pilot project that will bring new ideas and knowledge about protection and respect of their natural and cultural resources.
