​ABOUT

​Biruany Huni Kuin (@samiabiruany), leader of Mawa Isa group, a collective of women from Pinuya Village, is known for her contributions to facilitating spiritual works and pioneering studies. She is regarded as a messenger of the feminine force of the forest and has overcome the male-dominated territory to unite and empower the Huni Kuin women. Biruany is a renowned figure who has traveled abroad, inspiring women with her powerful voice that reflects the beauty, charm, and strength of the forest.

​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.
