The Añuu People are an Indigenous nation inhabiting the Lake Maracaibo region in Venezuela, known for their stilt-house communities and water-based commons. Their governance is organized through community assemblies and traditional authorities managing fishing territories, housing, and social life. Rooted in ancestral knowledge and communal stewardship of aquatic ecosystems, the Añuu experience represents a unique form of Indigenous self-governance and radical democracy adapted to a lacustrine environment.
