E20 - Kuntanawa: Amazonia and the Keys to Our Future
February 25, 2025
The fracture between human beings and the planet continues to grow. And, while the majority of us remain separated from the very thing that keeps us alive, there are those who strive to live with nature—its resources, its wisdom, and its primal intelligence. On the latest episode of Everlutionary, our host, Hawah Kasat, welcomes Prince Haru, the recognized leader of the Kuntanawa Nation, an indigenous tribe located in the Amazon of Acre, Brazil, and interpreter, Sitora, for an eye-opening conversation about how we, as a species, must tap back into the ancient wisdom of the Amazon Rainforest and the innate technology that resides within each of us as individuals.
Healing the planet often seems like an unfathomable task. But what if the answer was within us?
