There are many animals that just come out of the forest and lives in the villages. In this area I know of this parrot, a tapir and a boa constrictor. They have as much freedom as the humans in the villages and kinda does what they want. This parrot was hanging from the roof, biting anyone who came close. That applied to everyone, except one shaman who had the parrot climping on him, listening to him sing.

I can neither dispute or confirm that, but I would think that would be two very different thing. One focusing on living in the present, partying all night long. The other focusing on spiritual strenghtening and improving, meditation beyond the unmastered minds limits.

I do not consider any of the natural medicines and the spiritual aids of the indigenous people as drugs, but I have participated in many rituals and ceremonies.

Scandinavian languages, English, Spanish, Portuguese and learning Hatxa Kuin, the native language of the Huni Kuin people.

If I asked for something I lost, it would return to me fast, but I just went with the flow most times. They travel to cities sometimes to get stuff they need, and often sell or trade jewelry. Brazillian currency is the only one they know of, other than trading item for item. I bought a handmade wood sculpture of Yube aibu (the female boa, one of the most important spirits in their religion) made out of the iron tree cumaru. I paid 100 reais, 50-60$. Problems regarding money can occour, so even though it might feel like little to many, it is often best to pay the price they set for it. It will be what they honestly think it is worth.
