This workshop will focus on the history and teachings of the Huni Kuin people, which will be explored through dialogues with Huni Kuin as well as a film screening of Eskawata Kayawai. Topics to be explored include: ethnocide, reciprocity, right relationship, Indigenous traditions, values, thinking and ways of life, and how to honor Indigenous peoples. This workshop will provide an honest, direct, and in-depth understanding of the Huni Kuin people of the Amazon Rainforest who are experiencing the renaissance of their culture after decades of slavery and being forbidden to live their identity. Today, many Huni Kuin are traveling and exploring the globe and leading ceremonies outside of their home villages. Through direct storytelling and sharing of traditions and knowledge, this workshop will convey some of the views and experiences of the Huni Kuin. The film screening will serve as a bigger picture view of Huni Kuin in the Amazon Rainforest, and will provide an opportunity to learn from the directors of the film about the process of communicating the story of the Huni Kuin to the general public in a way that is authentic and honors the needs and wants of the Huni Kuin people. Join this workshop with speakers Rita Sales Kaxinawá, who is a researcher of the knowledge and traditions of the Huni Kuin people, and is politically engaged in the movement, and directors of the film Lara Jacoski, who is cultural producer and independent filmmaker since 2008, and Patrick Belem, who is a Brazilian filmmaker, journalist and musician.
