The Awa tribe, an indigenous group from Brazil, traditionally uses palm thatch to construct their shelters, known as "malocas." These communal houses are built from materials found in their rainforest environment, such as wood and palm leaves, and are designed to accommodate multiple families. The maloca serves as a central gathering place for social activities and rituals, reflecting the tribe's communal lifestyle and deep connection to their land.

The Awa tribes, indigenous to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, traditionally consume a diet that includes fish, game, fruits, nuts, and tubers. They often use tools like bows and arrows for hunting and fishing nets or traps for catching fish. Additionally, they gather wild fruits and plants, incorporating them into their meals. Their diet is closely tied to their environment, showcasing their deep connection to the land and its resources.
Awa tribes traditionally sleep on mats made from natural materials such as woven grasses or palm leaves. These mats are often placed on the ground within their communal living spaces, providing a comfortable and breathable surface. In some cases, they may also use hammocks, especially in areas with a high presence of insects or to avoid damp ground. Overall, their sleeping arrangements are simple and closely tied to their environment.
Different tribes used different materials (e.g. hides, wood, plant fiber, stone). They also used different materials for temporary shelter and permanent shelter.
