Throughout the years we have adopted a crazy race to achieve the latest technological advances. For the sake of our curiosity or the convenience of doing more with less, we have adopted customs and lifestyles from other countries using our smartphone. We have not considered that in our own environment and in the lifestyle of indigenous people there are ways that would overflow with Gigabytes this highway of information called Internet.
Through a recent field research experience, indigenous communities and technology converge to show the world the importance and wonders of rediscovering our roots, our identity. We prove that creativity and knowledge can contribute to keep our traditions alive and also become enjoyable.
