Rapé Ceremony with Txana Siã Huni Kuin

The youngest son of Shaman Nai Beiya Īkamuru and Master weaver Nāke, Txana Siã comes from the Boa Vista Parque Shunu Village, in the state of Acre, Brazil. He is a young indigenous artist of the Huni Kuin people, 20 years old, dedicated from an early age to building a bridge of knowledge exchange between his people and the contemporary world, playing an important role for his family. This movement not only enriches cultural diversity but also establishes solid bridges of intercultural understanding, promoting the richness and authenticity of Huni Kuin culture in big cities. 

As the son of a great elder shaman, Txana Siã has been dedicated to a deep study to share sacred prayers during his trip to Europe.
