About the Katukina People
The Katukina or Catuquinha are a South American indigenous group that inhabits the southwestern Brazilian state of Acre. They belong to the same Pano linguistic family and are closely related to the Marúbo and the Kawanawas. Although the population of the Katukina people was less than 200 in 1977, it is steadily recovering.
Chanting rituals and profound forest survival skills keep this group united and in harmony with the rich Amazonian environment they come from. They are the traditional carriers of rapé knowledge in the Amazonas region, and when Katukinas share their rapé, it is a key moment of transcendent connection with the spiritual realm.
What is Rapé?
Rapé, pronounced ‘ha-pey’ in Portuguese, is a traditional snuff used by various indigenous tribes of South America, predominantly tribal people from Brazil and Peru. Rapé blends contain 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, and 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 is 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.
