Earth Storyteller
Through storytelling in filmmaking, writing, and podcasting, Frank Weaver has been advocating for causes close to his heart for as long as he can remember.
Frank grew up volunteering on the reservations of the Panambi’y Indians of Northeastern Paraguay. He undertook audiovisual documentation of the Guaraní culture and the issues they were facing and shared this information with people worldwide. A Panambi’y Elder and spiritual practitioner Galeano Suarez initiated Frank into their tribe, saying: “Frank is one of us. He was initiated in a ceremony to make him a member of our tribe. I ask all people to support his work as he takes our plight to the world.”
Frank has released his photographs and information about the Panambi’y into the public domain to help share the information with the world. In 2010, National Geographic, YouTube, and The North Face selected one of his videos as an award winner in their Planet Inspired video contest for inspiring people to care about the planet.
In 2017, Frank procured and successfully donated a Panambi’y altar to the National Museum of the American Indian, a Smithsonian Institution.
Currently, Frank serves as an Eco Captain of Central Florida Recon, a group devoted to protecting the environment. Kayaking on rivers and lakes, volunteers see man-made pollution firsthand and are provided the tools to make a positive impact by removing litter and reducing their trash at home. With a coalition of citizen activists, they were able to ban styrofoam food containers in the city of Orlando, Florida.
