“We the Shawadawa live around the upper Jurua’ River on four demarcated tribal lands. Today, the main purpose of the Shawa people is to protect our lands, our forest, where all our natural medicines and culture are present. The teachings of our ancestors and the use of our sacred medicines brings us this study of healing and our ancestral teachings. Shawa means Macaw and Dawa means family, so we are the Macaw Family. Apart from the shamanic medicines like Rape’ and Ayahuasca we work with many different medicines of the forest.”
