An Evening with the Huni Kuin with Nawa Sia and Yaka Banu We invite you to join us for an evening with the Huni Kuin People from the Brazilian Amazon as it is with a lot of joy that we receive our relatives Nawa Sia and Yaka Banu. This will be a special opportunity to receive the wisdom of the Amazon Rainforest directly from its stewards and be in dialogue. This evening will also include live music from the Huni Kuin in both traditional and contemporary forms. The evening concludes with time to mix, mingle, and shop at the Indigenous Mercado. For participants who feel called to receive the medicine of hapé, this medicine will also be served during the event, but it is optional to receive. This is a family-friendly offering and is open to all ages. •The Huni Kuin• The Huni Kuin, also known as “The True People” and/or “People of the Smoke” are an Indigenous people that live in the Brazilian state of Acre and the border of Peru. They are part of the Pano linguistic family, which includes other indigenous groups in Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia. The Huni Kuin have a rich cultural heritage that includes shamanism, storytelling, music, and art. With a population of more than 25,000 people, they have one of the largest populations of Indigenous Peoples in Brazil. Their territory is spread over 5 municipalities (Tarauaca, Feijó, Santa Rosa, Jordão, and Marechal Thaumaturgo) and over 100 villages. They have faced many challenges throughout their history including colonization by the Catholic Church and land invasions/theft and forced labor by rubber tappers and miners, but after many years of resistance and fighting for their rights, and a process of rediscovering their ancestral wisdom and practices, they are now in a new era. An era of Indigenous rights, defending and revitalizing their culture, and spreading their messages as stewards of the rainforest all around the world as a stand against climate change. They're now dedicated to preserving and reviving their rich heritage with festivals, gatherings, and the passing of wisdom from elders to the youth. They're renowned for their plant medicine expertise and have inspired interest in their traditions worldwide as well as respect for their contribution to Amazon conservation. Today, many of their leaders travel the world forming alliances with organizations, activists, artists, and supporters to share their music and culture, secure economic advancement for their people, and advocate for the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest. •Nawabu Culture• Nawabu Culture is a fiscally sponsored LLC social impact organization with a mission to bring about transformative social change through Indigeneity, arts and culture, community, and spirituality. We work with Indigenous leaders from the Brazilian Amazon and support them in cultural preservation, creating economic opportunities, and amplifying their environmental stewardship through a variety of projects. Nawabu’s work is also aimed at creating sacred spaces for healing and solidarity across communities for individual and collective liberation.
