THE NUKINI

The Nukini form part of the group of Pano-speaking peoples that inhabit the Juruá valley region that share both very similar ways of life and views of the world. This includes a devastating history of dispossession, violence and exploitation since the mid-19th century at the hands of the rubber Barrons. In the midst of great resistance to the first Amazonian rubber boom, the Nukini of Brazil settled in a region of the Amazon that includes the Juruá and Serra do Môa. The Nukini were organised into small clans: Inubakevu (People of the Jaguar), Papabakevu (The Açaí People), Itsäbakevu (People of the Potoá) and Shãnumbakevu (People of the Cobra). Today the Nukini are galvanised in a movement to strengthen their tradition through the valorisation of the spirituality, customs, traditions, handicrafts and sacred medicines including their highly sought after Rappé.
