Another first for Philcoin!
This just-in — Philcoin will help to create the world’s first-ever blockchain-powered indigenous community. After a signed agreement last night with the Cabécar “Chirripo” tribe in Costa Rica, the country’s largest indigenous tribe, Philcoin will also help the tribe build roads, schools, hospitals, Telco infrastructures, and more.
Who is the Cabécar “Chirripo” tribe?
The Cabécar, also known as the Chirripó, are an indigenous tribe in Costa Rica. They primarily reside in the Talamanca mountain range, specifically around the Chirripó National Park, which is home to Costa Rica’s highest peak, Mount Chirripó.
The Cabécar people have a rich cultural heritage deeply connected to their natural surroundings. Traditionally, they have been skilled hunters and gatherers, relying on the resources provided by the forests and mountains where they live. They have a strong bond with nature and possess extensive knowledge of medicinal plants, local flora and fauna, and sustainable land use practices. However, like many indigenous groups around the world, they have faced challenges related to land rights, preservation of their culture, and access to education and healthcare.
How does blockchain benefit indigenous people?
Blockchain technology offers hope for indigenous communities by safeguarding cultural heritage and land rights. Its immutable ledger secures ancestral knowledge and historical records, ensuring their legacy endures. Additionally, decentralized marketplaces empower artisans, enabling direct sales of crafts and sustaining cultural practices.
Moreover, blockchain’s transparent records of territorial boundaries protect indigenous lands from encroachments, preserving their vital resources. Its governance systems provide a voice in decision-making, ensuring autonomy and preserving their distinct identity in a rapidly changing world.
For instance, just like Wampum, a traditional form of currency used by Native American tribes made of shell beads, blockchain serves as a modern-day keeper of agreements and histories. Wampum beads were used to record important agreements and events among tribes. Similarly, blockchain securely records and preserves the stories and histories of indigenous communities, ensuring their traditions and agreements remain intact for future generations.
In our efforts to protect and honor the important places and artifacts that belong to indigenous communities, we’ve always used modern tools like LiDar imaging and computer models. These tools help us preserve the stories and history of indigenous cultures.
Now, there’s a new technology catching our attention: blockchain. People talk about blockchain and cryptocurrency as ways to save endangered indigenous sites and keep track of cultural treasures. As we look forward, blockchain and cryptocurrency bring hope for safeguarding endangered indigenous sites and preserving their rich heritage. Exploring these technologies can help protect the stories and treasures of indigenous cultures, ensuring they’re cherished for years to come.
