Message from Anank Nunink Nunkai

The Shuar people live among the Ecuadorian rivers that are headwaters of the Amazon, in the foothills of the Andes, and up to the altiplano highlands of Peru.

Anank Nunink Nunkai was born in 1947 to the Shuar of the Sacred Waterfalls, deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon. He is an Uwishin (traditional healer) guided by Arutam and the wisdom of his ancestors. Anank's mission in life is to help people, preserve the Shuar culture, and the beautiful rainforest they call home. Many years ago he traveled to the United States with a group of musicians called "Grupo Chaarip" who performed at a variety of international events. Their hope was to generate interest in Shuar culture, philosophy and mythology while also raising awareness about over-consumption and the consequential contamination of the rainforest.

Currently living in the Pacific Northwest, Anank can often be found speaking to students of all ages and participating in conferences in the United States and abroad. He speaks on a wide range of topics from the diversity of animals in the jungle to Indigenous Permaculture or the healing properties of plants. You may also find him singing, performing traditional Shuar dances or teaching people to meditate. When discussing Shuar cosmovision and the wonders of the rainforest, Anank hopes to inspire interest in protecting such a magical place. He continues to be an active member of the Shuar community and works closely with his sons toward the goal of creating a Shuar owned ethno-biological preserve in the Kutukú and Shaimi Forest Reserve. Raúl is the President of the "Asociación Amigos de la Amazonía" in Madrid and works in conjunction with his brother Eduardo in Ecuador.

Anank desires a world of equality and without greed; where plants purify the air and crystalline springs satiate the thirst of the universe. Sharing the natural world in a place of unlimited happiness where dreams become reality. Flying above obstacles and discovering a limitless horizon. Here, in the four winds, you will hear the vibrant voice of the sacred plant Natem saying...
PEACE, LOVE, UNDERSTANDING & RESPECT.
