In the context of immigration and sanctuary, such as is experienced at the border of Venezuela with Brazil, adaptation to a new life, new customs, \u00a0new language is the daily reality the\u00a0Warao\u00a0natives have to face, coming from the Orinoco River Basin \u2013 State of Amacuro.<\/p>\n

Living in a temporary shelter, which over time seems to have become more permanent because of the lack of perspective for resolving the conflict that \u00a0triggered \u00a0the immigration, makes the shelters seeking to rescue and adapt the habits and traditions the Warao practiced in their communities of origin, some original and others typical of the mixture that over the years they have been doing with non-indigenous people.<\/p>\n
