We have the honor and privilege of hosting three legendary Huni Kuin spiritual leaders on the Olympic Peninsula for a very short time. Nawa Sia, Bixku, and Biruani Huni Kuin will be sharing their powerful, life-changing music; this is a once in a lifetime kind of experience. It is the first time that a female Huni Kuin spiritual leader has ever been to the US. Please join us for this extremely rare and special occasion!
The Huni Kuin will also serve optional hapé made directly in their village for those who are interested. Hapé is a traditional Amazonian plant medicine blend and one of the most important medicines for many of the tribes of the Amazon Rainforest, including the Huni Kuin. It is generally tobacco based, with the ashes of certain trees and sometimes other herbs included. It is used for connecting to spirit, grounding, transforming thoughts, making prayers, and many other purposes.
Bixku, one of the primary leaders of Pinuya Village, has been at the forefront of organizing retreats and medicine festivals in his community. He currently serves as the vice president of OAKAT27, an indigenous NGO from Colônia 27 Indigenous Land that focuses on implementing projects for the betterment of local families. Bixku is a key member of the Pinu Huya Keneya group, which shares the culture and spirituality of the Huni Kuin people within and outside of Brazil. Together with his wife Biruany, Bixku carries the trust and responsibility of his village and elders.
Nawá Siã Huni Kuin (@nawa_sian_hunikuin) is a young leader from Pinuya Village, recognized for his exceptional dedication to studying medicine chants (huni meka) and healing prayers (pakarin), as well as creating unique songs and melodies. Since the age of 17, he has been traveling across Brazil, and now at the age of 27, his work can be found on digital platforms such as Spotify and Bandcamp. Siã brings the strength and energy of the new generation and is an inspiration for younger generations to follow the path of medicine and learn from the teachings of their elder, Kupi Huni Kuin.
