We invite you to support the Tukano indigenous tribe, which is considered one of the first ethnic groups to have used ayahuasca—according to some estimates, this tradition dates back as far as 10,000 years. During his visit to the Czech Republic, Álvaro repeatedly mentioned that he would like to build a community center in his village so that the tribe’s wisdom can continue to survive and be shared with the wider world. We would like to support his dream, and you can join us.
Álvaro Tukano, also known as Doéthiro, is a respected leader of the Tukano people from the Alto Rio Negro region of Brazil. In the 1970s, Álvaro co-founded the Union of Indigenous Nations (UNI), which played a pivotal role in uniting various indigenous groups across Brazil. His leadership extended to the Memorial of Indigenous Nations in Brasília, where he served as director and advocated for the representation and rights of Indigenous peoples.
In 1988, Álvaro was tasked with rewriting the Brazilian Constitution to include Indigenous rights for the first time—thus becoming a role model for other Indigenous nations around the world. In 1990, he founded the Rio Negro Federation of Indigenous Organizations, which successfully halted the advance of mining companies that would have driven his people from their ancestral lands in the jungle.
