The urgent fight of the last Huni Kuin population without officially landmarked territory, led by their cacique/leader Ninawa, to protect their ancestral lands in the Amazon’s Acre region. Threatened by deforestation, invasions of cattle ranchers and water poisoning, Ninawa’s battle to demarcate his community’s territory highlights the deep spiritual connection between Indigenous people and nature.
