Boruca Indigenous Territory Mask Design: Eco Warrior The Ecological Warrior is the mixture of an Ecological Mask and a Traditional Mask, it represents an Indigenous Warrior defending the Flora and Fauna of the Indigenous Territories, the natural elements of the forest are mixed with the Warrior to create a mask with a diverse amount of details unique. It has hand-painted natural elements, which represent a warrior taking over the jungle to defend it, his gesture is of a jealous appearance, taking care of each species and the entire mountain, and at the same time hiding in it. All the Boruca Masks are born from the traditional ceremony of the Boruca Indigenous Territory known as “Cabrú rójc or Game of the Little Devils”. Game of the little devils of Boruca - Cabrú rójc. Origin of the Boruca celebration Day of celebration December 30 to January 2. Celebrated since the Conquest of Costa Rica The game of the little devils of Boruca (Cagrúv rójc, in the Brunka language) is a traditional festivity of the Boruca culture, an indigenous people of Costa Rica, which takes place between December 30 and January 2 of each year, in the community of Boruca, and the first weekend of February, in the town of Rey Curré, the two main settlements of Boruca indigenous people, located in the canton of Buenos Aires de Puntarenas. This celebration is characterized by dances and games in which people with traditional Boruca masks take part, who resemble Warriors, representing the Boruca indigenous people, and another person disguised as a bull, representing the Spanish conquerors. The game of little devils was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Costa Rica in 2017. Its origin dates back to the conquest of Costa Rica by the Spanish, and it is considered one of the main festivities of the Boruca people. The fiesta of the little devils is the cultural activity with the greatest participation and enthusiasm among the inhabitants of Boruca and other Bribri, Cabécares and Térrabas indigenous communities. Currently, this celebration captures the attention of non-indigenous visitors from the Central Valley, San Isidro del General, Buenos Aires and other towns in the southern zone of Costa Rica. Together with the elaboration of handicrafts with traditional techniques and the belief in a mythical character called Cuasrán, the game of little devils is one of the three most significant elements of the Boruca identity. Each mask has a difference of 10% compared to the photographs in this publication, remember it is a handmade apoezs, in which more than 3 people participate in its preparation. So we cannot guarantee to create something the same, but a piece with unique and high-quality details and colors.
I just got back from Costa Rica. Before I left for my trip, I had planned on picking up some Boruca masks. These amazing masks are made by the Indigenous Boruca Tribe. I stayed in Manuel Antonio.
