About the Yawanawa

The Yawanawá are an Indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest, living in the state of Acre in western Brazil along the Gregório River. Their name means “people of the wild boar,” reflecting their strong sense of community and collective living. Traditionally, their way of life is deeply connected to the forest, which they see as a living intelligence and source of knowledge, medicine, and spiritual guidance. They rely on hunting, fishing, and small-scale agriculture, while their culture is rich in song, storytelling, and ceremony, particularly through sacred chants known as Saitis. The Yawanawá are widely known for their plant medicine traditions, including the use of hapé (rapé) and ayahuasca.

Like many Amazonian tribes, they faced significant disruption during colonisation, including enslavement during the rubber boom and suppression of their cultural practices by missionaries. However, in recent decades they have undergone a powerful cultural revival, reclaiming their land, language, and traditions. Today, the Yawanawá continue to preserve their ancestral knowledge while also engaging with the wider world, sharing their culture and medicines in ways that support both their communities and the protection of the Amazon rainforest.
