Txaná Tuwe Huni Kuin is a spiritual leader, musician and professor from Novo Futuro Village, on the Humaita River of Acre, Brazil. A carrier of the living traditions of the Huni Kuin people, he has dedicated his life to the preservation and transmission of ancestral songs, medicines, and spiritual knowledge. Tuwe has become a bridge between his community and the wider world, traveling to share Huni Kuin teachings while remaining rooted in the work of his people at home. He is a founding partner of Kayawei Earth, through which he supports food sovereignty, clean water access, and cultural continuity for communities along his river.

Txaná Nui Nai Bei is an apprentice of the medicine and student of the great pajé pai da mata. Brother of txaná Tuwe and heir to a long lineage of pajés, he speaks fluent Hátxa Kuin and carries deep knowledge of his people’s ancient wisdom and culture. A sacred musician of the Huni Kuin traditional prayers, he embodies the living continuity of his ancestral heritage.

He has completed three extended diets with the healers of the village — including the healer’s diet Muka, the Hãpaya, and Nixpu Pima — on the Jordão River, the most traditional of all Huni Kuin territories.
