The Nukun Dewe Festival is a time where villagers of the three Huni Kuin indigenous lands near the city of Jordão (Acre) come together to revive and strengthen their ancient cultural heritage.

The Huni Kuin are an indigenous people who live in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, in the border regions between Brazil and Peru.

The festival provides a space to exchange experience and knowledge among varying generations, thus securing the preservation of their rich cultural heritage.

Such a convergence of the today largely dispersed Huni Kuin people is like putting together pieces of a larger puzzle.

A puzzle that as one reveals the magnificent history of a culture of humans deeply interrelated with the natural kingdom of the amazon.
