Ancestral Wisdom • Protection • Transformation • Forest Connection
Rooted in the ancestral symbolism of the Amazon, the Yawa Roots of the Heart Dress is an Indigenous-created design by Yawa Store, bringing the strength of the jiboia (boa constrictor) and the natural beauty of the forest into contemporary fashion.
Created by Yawanawa entrepreneurs Nawa Txivã and Ronnã Yawanawa, this expressive piece features imagery inspired by the powerful jiboia and the leaves of the kawa (Chacruna), weaving together elements of the natural world with the spiritual traditions and artistic expression of the Yawanawa people.
Within Yawanawa culture, the jiboia symbolizes spiritual protection, ancestral wisdom, and the power of transformation. Regarded as a guardian of mysteries, this remarkable forest being represents a connection between the spiritual and physical worlds, embodying strength, awareness, and the protective presence of the forest.
The leaves of kawa (Chacruna) accompany this powerful imagery, bringing the deep living Amazon into the design. Together, these forms create a visual expression of the relationship between nature, ancestral knowledge, and Indigenous identity.
The creators describe wearing this kene as carrying the protective energy and spiritual vision of the forest - a reminder of the wisdom, strength, and traditions that continue to live through Yawanawa culture.
The Roots of the Heart Dress is more than a beautiful garment. It reflects a living artistic tradition, where the natural world and ancestral understanding meet through the creative vision of Indigenous makers.
As with every piece in the Yawa Store collection, this is not simply Indigenous-inspired fashion. It is Indigenous-created artistry, allowing Yawanawa creators to share their own cultural expression and stories with the wider world.
Katukina.US is honored to bring the Yawa Roots of the Heart Dress from Brazil to our community in the United States, supporting Indigenous entrepreneurship while celebrating the enduring artistry and living traditions of the Yawanawa people.
