Hey beautiful people, How are you?
On my most recent trip to Brazil, I had the incredible chance to see the indigenous Huni Kuin people of the Amazon rainforest.
As a result of this opportunity, I got to know some wonderful families and the individuals that look after nature and our planet for us.
In most of these settlements, women and children work together to produce their own crafts, and they rely on what nature provides for their survival.
A lot of their labour goes unnoticed because they are so deep in the forest, far away from us in the concrete jungle.
A member of their family must leave the jungle to allow them to show off the art they've created, and unfortunately, this does not happen often.
As a result, they have difficulty selling their work and making a livelihood from it.
That is why I brought back some of their artwork and tried to help them sell it so that they could raise money for their family and their town.
Their artwork is just breathtaking. Several of their pieces need days of labour to finish. Love and good vibrations from the jungle have gone into making these pieces. Some of the items are one-of-a-kind, and all of the designs have a powerful meaning and are used to heal and protect.
Seeing their work and if possible, purchasing some of it from my Etsy shop will help support the Hunikuin people.
Please feel free to pass it forward if you're in a financial bind at the moment. That's also going to be a huge assistance.
