Zenira Neshane Huni Kuin: Zenira Neshane is the daughter of Maria Sabino Huni Kuin and Sabino Ixã Huni Kuin, two important leaders of the Huni Kuin people. From an early age Neshane learnt from her mother about handicrafts, graphics, cooking, and women's knowledge within the tradition of her people. As well as being a teacher and artisan, she is one of the few Huni Kuin women recognised as a ‘pajé’ shaman, as she carries a lot of knowledge about the traditional medicine practices of her people. Neshane is also a forerunner of the Huni Kuin feminist movement, one of the first women from her indigenous land to leave the territory and leading workshops and cultural exchange activities in different states in Brazil and abroad.

Sabino Dua Ixã: Sabino Dua Ixã is a Huni Kuin elder who acts as a political and spiritual leader. He formerly lived and worked in the rubber plantations, actively participated in the struggle for the right to demarcate his land, and studied with great shamans to become one of the greatest masters of the Huni Meka (ceremonial songs) of the Huni Kuin people. Sabino lives with his entire family in one of the most remote villages of the Upper Jordão River, a place where very few consumer goods arrive from the city and where deep communication with the territory is maintained.

Txaná Nixiwaka: Txaná Nixiwaka Huni Kuin is from a younger generation of Txanás, or shaman artists, from the village furthest from the Jordão River. Since childhood, he has dedicated himself to the study of traditional song, painting, and drawings related to the traditions of his people. He is married to one of the granddaughters of Sabino Dua Ixã, of whom he is a pupil, and has been invited by him to leave his village for the first time to represent his community.
