📼 Funded by the UCLA Library Modern Endangered Archives Program (MEAP), the Digital Archive of the Indigenous Languages of the Amazon (ARDILIA) works to preserve and revitalize the rich oral cultural heritage of the Murui, Magütá and Miraña peoples of the Colombian Amazon: ucla.in/4d82Miw #IAW2026

Image features a cassette tape with handwritten labels. The text describes the Digital Archive of the Indigenous Languages of the Amazon / Archivo Digital de las Lenguas Indígenas de la Amazonia (ARDILIA) project, which is preserving Indigenous languages, knowledge and cultural memory in the Colombian Amazon through UCLA Library's Modern Endangered Archives Program (MEAP) project. UCLA Library's logo is at the bottom right. A group of people sits in a semicircle in a room. There is a caption in front that reads, "Inauguration of the first Digital Archive of the Indigenous Languages of the Amazon." Text in the image explains that the project, funded by MEAP, aims to preserve chants, narratives, and ceremonial discourses from the Murui, Magütá, and Miraña peoples of the Colombian Amazon, recorded between 1975 and 2006. A person is seated in a hammock, weaving fibers. The image is overlaid with text stating: "232 recordings and narratives digitized: 130 Magüta (Tikuna) recordings, 42 Miraña recordings, 83 Murui narratives. Preserving cultural memory for future generations." A caption reads "Luis Neeba Gwajko, Miraña." The background shows a setting with thatched roofs. The image shows a group of people seated indoors, with one person speaking into a microphone. The text mentions project director Juan Álvaro Echeverri (Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Amazonia Campus) and the project team launched ARDILIA, a digital platform that provides access to and highlights these preserved recordings: ardilia.unal.edu.co. A caption reads "Sergio Ramos del Aguila, Magüta."
