Yawanawá opperhoofd - Rapé van de maand
The new yawanawá rapé - chief
What is it?
Rapé Chief comes straight from Nixiwaka, also known as Biraci Brasil, Chief of the Yawanawa tribe.
This is a very special snuff, made with a mixture of three types of tobacco: Moi tobacco, native to the region, extra-strong rope tobacco and the famous Sabia tobacco. In addition, Tsunu ash is also used. This is a very special snuff, made with great care and prayer.
Het was Biraci die de wandeling terug naar de wortels van zijn volk begon nadat hij bijna alles had verloren door toedoen van rubbertappers en evangelische voorgangers. Hij was de eerste in lange tijd die op inwijdingsdieet ging, waardoor hij weer in contact kwam met zijn voorouders.
Een van de vergeten medicijnen die hij meebracht was Rumã, ook bekend als rapé. Hij is inderdaad een van de mensen die ervoor verantwoordelijk is dat jullie dit inheemse medicijn vandaag kunnen inwijden.
In the early 1990s, the indigenous resistance movement emerged, led by young people who began to use their voices to call for attention to the cause of indigenous peoples. Biraci was one of those people. Today, he is fully dedicated to the spirituality of his people.

FIND OUT THE STORY!
We are launching a new snuff taken from the private stock of our dear friend, Cacique Biraci Brasil.
With the purchase of this lot, we were able to help his project of food independence for the people.
500 coconut trees from the Puyanawa people were bought and planted in Aldeia Sagrada, the new Aldeia Yawanawa founded by him in the land where the people lived at the time of first contact.
The village, the last one up the river, is a place of spirituality and peace, where the tribes used to diet with ancient shamans and where the elders are buried. The purchase of snuff allowed us to help Cacique Biraci Brasil make his dream come true in the middle of the virgin forest.
