Who is making the hapeh?
In March 2022 I visited the Healing center of the Yawanawá village Mutum at the Gregorio river in Acre, Brazil.
In the healing tradition of the Yawanawa, Rapeh is a medicine prepared from Tabacco leaves and the ash of a tree called Tsunu. It’s a snuff that traditionally is passed to another person through a Tepi or through self usage with a Kuripe.
