The Muka Yuxibu family
Rooted in a living tradition.
Muka Yuxibu is one of the Huni Kuin families of Aldeia Boa Vista, in the Alto Rio Jordão territory of Acre, Brazil.
Their work grows from a culture carried through language, songs, traditional arts, spiritual practice and everyday community life. Pajé Nawa Pana and Txira share this knowledge through their own experience and responsibilities within the village.
