The Huni Kuin tribe and shamanism 🌱✨

The Huni Kuin, also known as the Kaxinawá, are an indigenous people living mainly in the Amazon region between Brazil (Acre state) and Peru. Their culture is deeply rooted in nature and ancestral traditions. Shamanism plays a central role in their spiritual life: pajés (shamans) act as guides between the visible and invisible worlds. They use sacred plants such as ayahuasca and rapé to heal, teach and restore harmony between human beings and nature. Huni Kuin wisdom is transmitted orally, through songs, myths and rituals.


As an ancient Huni Kuin proverb puts it:

"The song of the forest is also the song of our soul. To listen to nature is to listen to our ancestors. "


Their worldview is based on the interconnectedness of all living beings, and shamanism is both a path to healing and a way of living in balance with the universe. 🌱✨
