Several generations of Avá Guarani women with the "taquara", a musical stick that they use tapping the ground during the song/prayer. "We have no money to defend ourselves, we have nothing inside the house, not even food... only the strength of Nhanderu and spirituality, the great faith in Nhanderu." (Antonia, Avá Aldeia Tekoha Y'Hovy Guaraní shaman).
