Nukini

In the midst of great resistance to the first Peruvian rubber boom, the Nukini of Brazil settled in the region that includes the Juruá Valley and Serra do Môa, being organized initially in small clans: Inubakevu – People of Jaguar, Panabakevu – The Açaí People, Itsãbakevu- People of the Patoá and Shãnumbakevu – People of the Cobra. Today the Nukini are in a movement to strengthen their tradition through the valorization of their spirituality, customs, handicrafts and sacred medicines like Rapé.
