✨ Support The Noke Kuin - Cultural Centre✨

Protecting the Living Wisdom of the Noke Kuin, Guardians of the Amazon Rainforest.

Deep in the heart of the Amazon, the Noke Kuin (Katukina People) carry an extraordinary lineage of ancestral knowledge, practices and spiritual traditions. With only 1,000 members remaining, they stand as a vital thread connecting us to a way of life rooted in deep harmony with nature and with creation.

The Noke Kuin are seeking allies—visionary hearts who recognize the value of Indigenous wisdom and its role in guiding humanity toward a more balanced future. They are calling in support for their mission to protect their sacred way of life and the Amazon Rainforest, both of which benefit us all.

This ancient culture stands at a critical threshold, as economic pressures, urban migration, and the passing of elders have created a fragile time for their cultural lineage, wisdom traditions and language.

Without dedicated spaces to practice, teach and share their traditions, the risk of dispersion grows.

To counter this and empower their people and protect their cultural treasures and their ancestral home—the Amazon—they envision a cultural centre.

Supporting the Noke Kuin and the construction of an Ancestral Cultural Centre means helping to create pathways for cultural renewal: intergenerational learning, language preservation, forest protection, and healing practices that serve both their people and the greater world. Your care and action can help build bridges—between generations, between worlds, and between the past and the future.

This is an invitation to all who feel the call of the forest, who understand that protecting Indigenous wisdom is not just about preservation—it is about co-creating a future that remembers the value of soul, ceremony, and sacred relationship with the Earth.

The Vision of a Cultural Centre.

A Cultural Center is essential for safeguarding and revitalizing the Noke Kuin’s cultural identity. It will serve as a sanctuary where their ancient traditions are lived and preserved, keeping the community deeply connected to their roots.

Intentions for the Center:

This Center will be the beating heart of the Noke Kuin community, a sacred place where the central fire of their culture is kindled and kept burning bright. Here, their way of life and ancient wisdom are actively lived and witnessed, thriving in an empowered way. This inspires younger generations to embrace and carry forward their rich heritage, ensuring that the profound knowledge of the Amazon’s plants and healing practices continues to flourish, preserving the Noke Kuin identity for generations to come.

Beyond preservation, the Cultural Center will become a hub for international exchange, creating economic opportunities that empower the community and foster independence, building a sustainable foundation for generations to come.
