Asociacion de Artesanos Q'Antati
 |
| Bolivian Flutemaker | The Q'ANTATI Artisan Association represents 12 cooperatives with over 450 artisans who are involved in knitting, weaving, and sewing projects as well as the production of musical instruments and ceramics. One of the goals of the Q'ANTATI association is to preserve the culture of the Aymara Indians.
Q'ANTATI is an Aymaran Indian word meaning "dawn," which symbolizes a new day and new hope for the future. Bolivia's Quechua and Aymara Indians make up over 55% of the population and are concentrated in the high Andean plateau where they struggle to earn a living as miners, herders, and weavers. With annual per capita income of $1,010, Bolivia has recently become Latin America's second poorest country, next to Nicaragua.
