    Blend Profile:

    Katukina Mafumeira is a unique and powerful Rapé created from the ash of the Mafumeira tree, aka the mighty Samauma tree, also known as the Kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra), combined with Mulateiro for grounding effects. The ash is carefully gathered from the bark that naturally peels off after strong rainfall, respecting the tree’s sacred spirit. Samauma trees, known to live for thousands of years and reach towering heights of up to 90 meters, are revered for their spiritual significance in the Amazon. They are believed to serve as portals between the physical and spiritual realms, used by mythological beings to enter and exit the forest. This Rapé carries the essence of that sacred connection.

    Mafumeira Rapé offers a light yet sharp experience that immediately sharpens the mind, clears the sinuses, and awakens the body. The earthy, uplifting aroma promotes clarity and focus, making it perfect for deep spiritual work and purification. The initial sharp sensation often causes immediate eye-watering, but the effects soon transform into a smooth, focused energy, grounding the user while elevating their connection to nature and the spiritual universe. The combination of Samauma’s spiritual elevation and Mulateiro’s physical grounding creates a harmonious balance, allowing the user to experience clarity and focus without feeling overwhelmed.

    Crafted by Leo, a skilled maker from the Katukina tribe, this Rapé is a true representation of the deep respect and care for nature’s gifts. Katukina Mafumeira Hapé is ideal for those seeking a blend that connects them to the spiritual world while simultaneously grounding their physical being. It cleanses the mind, body, and spirit, leaving the user feeling rejuvenated, calm, and present.

    About The Tribe

    Discover the powerful and sacred Hapé of Katukina. The Katukina, also known as Atukina, Catuquina, Katokina, Katukena, and Katukino, are indigenous groups from southwestern Brazil that have a deep connection to the use of sacred plants. They believe themselves to be the first tribe to receive Kambo medicine from the frog and possess vast knowledge of the spiritual properties of plants. Experience the wild and powerful spirit of the jungle with their strong and deep Hapé.

    The Katukina tribe, originating from five linguistic groups and now comprising three, is a distinctive community residing along the Gregorio and Jutaí Rivers in the Acre and Amazonas regions. Historically named by the government, the Katukina identify themselves through six clans: Varinawa (Sun), Kamanawa (Jaguar), Satanawa (Otter), Waninawa (Peachpalm), Nainawa (Sky), and Numanawa (Dove), each with unique beliefs and linguistic nuances.

    Despite suffering severe population decline during the latex industry's exploitation, resulting in forced migrations and loss, the Katukina have since reclaimed their ancestral lands. From a mere 177 individuals in 1977, their numbers have rebounded to 594 by 2010.

    Katukina society revolves around family structures, often forming villages with extended families. They practice endogamy, marrying within their Pano linguistic group, and polygamy is common. Gender roles are distinct: men engage in hunting and agriculture, while women focus on domestic tasks. Both genders, however, participate in shared activities like fishing and fruit collecting. Skill demonstration in respective roles is crucial for marriage eligibility.
