3rd Huni Kuin Tribe Gathering

The 3rd  Huni Kuin Gathering will bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples deep into the heart of the Amazon to the world of the Huni Kuin tribe. In the last years, we had the honor of receiving about 300 indigenous people from different Huni Kuin villages, as well as national and foreign visitors.

For the Huni Kuin people, a unique time to gather more than 30 local villages to strengthen, celebrate and share traditional knowledge and wisdom between different generations. For external visitors, an exclusive opportunity to discover this ancestral cultural and spiritual heritage, with activities specially designed by the community, and to participate in traditional ceremonies with hundreds of local indigenous.

In consonance with the International Year of Indigenous Languages , the next Huni Kuin Gathering will put the hãtxa-kuin (local language) into focus. Its current challenges, as the replacement and the disappearance of ancient words and its meanings; the significant role of language in knowledge sharing processes; the promotion of the hãtxa-kuin through storytelling circles and sacred ceremonies with Txana (traditional singers) sharing their Huni Meka songs; among other activities.
