Pariká Kaxinawá Rapé (Hapé) – Huni Kuin, by Chief Assis

Pariká is one of the great teacher trees of the Amazon, and in the hands of the Huni Kuin (Kaxinawá) its ash becomes the foundation of a rapéh of remarkable strength and depth. This blend combines sacred tobacco with pariká ash in the traditional way — finely milled, dark, and direct. Among the medicines we receive, the blends of Chief Assis are known as some of the strongest and deepest; this Pariká is best suited to experienced rapéh users seeking a profound, focused, ceremonial experience.

Made by Chief Assis Kaxinawá and Aldeia Pinuyá

This Pariká comes to us directly from Assis Kaxinawá, chief of Aldeia Pinuyá in the Colônia 27 Indigenous Land near Tarauacá, Acre — a Huni Kuin community of 53 families who live from hunting, fishing, planting, and the sacred medicines of the forest. “We know that everything we need is in the forest,” Assis reminds us. Every tin supports his community’s work of preserving their culture, language, and land.
