Bimi Shu Ikaya

Overview

Bimi became the first Huni Kuin women to organize her own village, an activity once exclusive to men. In her life's trajectory, due to her strong and determined personality, she faced a series of hardships, especially due to the hierarchy and traditions of the Huni Kuin people, an essentially patriarchal society, resulting in the organization of a new village in which she develops many roles, including that of Shaman Healer, keeper of many ancestral knowledges of the Huni Kuin people.
