The Katukina People: Keepers of Rapé Knowledge
The Katukina people are an indigenous group that inhabits the southwestern Brazilian state of Acre. They are closely related to the Marúbo and the Kawanawas and belong to the same Pano linguistic family. The Katukina people are the traditional carriers of rapé knowledge in the Amazonas region, and their use of rapé is a key moment of transcendent connection with the spiritual realm.
Chanting rituals and profound forest survival skills keep this group united and in harmony with the rich Amazonian environment they come from. Internally, the Katukinas are called according to their clans: kamãnaua (people of the dog), varinaua (people of the sun), satanaua (people of the otter), and neianaua (people of heaven).
What is Rapé?
Rapé is a traditional snuff used by various indigenous tribes of South America, predominantly tribal people from Brazil and Peru. It is a ground mixture of plants, tree bark, seeds, and ash. The fine powder is blown into each nostril through a bone or bamboo pipe called a ‘Tepi’ or ‘Kuripe’. The Tepi applicator is a long blow pipe that connects the nostril of the receiver to the mouth of the person that administers the snuff. The Kuripe is for self-application. The V-shaped applicator connects the nostril to the mouth allowing the snuff to be self-blown into the nose.
Each tribe has its own rapé formula, and usually, it is women who gather the ingredients. The selection, mixture, and grinding process are regarded as a ritual only to be performed by a reputable healer. The snuff is typically made in small batches according to the specific needs of the person being treated or the ceremony’s occasion.
The use of rapé aims to restore our connection to nature and a sense of grounding. It clears mental fog and confusion, eliminating negative thought patterns. These powerful snuffs bring about physical and spiritual wellness.
