The Huni Kuin are an authentic, strong and resistant people.

They connect with the Earth and the Divine through their traditional songs and dances in ancient ceremonial rites.

Their traditional knowledge is marked by a deep reverence of the natural world.

The Huni Kuin live in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, in the border regions between Brazil and Peru.

Not so long ago the Huni Kuin have been forcefully driven of their lands into slavery, yet today their culture is slowly regaining ground as the Huni Kuin are more and more recognized for their immense and invaluable knowledge of the medicinal plants of the rainforest.
