MALOKA KNOWING SHAMAN
The knower in the Tikuna culture plays a fundamental role in the community as a guardian of ancestral knowledge and traditional wisdom. In his maloka, a sacred and ceremonial space, he carries out healing and teaching rituals, using medicinal plants and sacred songs to connect with the spirits and the natural environment. Their work not only focuses on medicine, but also includes the transmission of myths and traditions, reinforcing the cultural identity and well-being of their people. Thus, the knower acts as a bridge between the earthly and the spiritual, ensuring the continuity of the Tikuna cultural heritage.
