Ninawá Pai da Mata (Father of the Forest - Spiritual Leader of Novo Futuro Villag) have asked Lara Jacoski and Patrick Belem (Bem-te-vi Produções) to put together this crowdfunding to support his new project, which he have already started by himself, but due to the covid, he can't travel and work outside of the village so he is lacking funds to continue to make it happen.

WHO ARE WE


Ninawá Pai da Mata (Father of the Forest)

Spiritual leader of Novo Futuro Village at the Humaitá Indigenous Land. More than 20 years ago, Ninawa has opened a new village to live on their own culture. Ninawa is a defensor for the forest and support the young generation on valeuing and living from their culture, on also creating bridges with the modern time we live in.

Lara Jacoski and Patrick Belem (Bem-te-vi Produções)
Filmmakers and producers from Brazil, since 2013 the independent film Bem-te-vi (from the great bird kiskadee) has its mission to enter various realities and serve as a bridge (with art, audiovisual, sound and projects in general) for minorities with society in a human, loving way, serving as a tool that bring their voices further.

Emanuel Trigo (Raíz das Imagens)
For more than 10 years, Rodrigo visits different indigenous villages all over Brazil, bringing film workshops on culture revival, besides making an ancestral seeds fair. By teaching films, Trigo incentives the villagers to research their culture, specially what is held only by elders, and make films about it.

Carou Trebitsch (Guardians Huni Kuin & Mi Mawai)
Cultural producer, she has been working with the Huni Kuin people for 10 years developing cultural projects. For the past 4 years she has been developing the Mi Mawai a musical label that works for contemporary indigenous music and their copyright.

CAUSE

THE REALITY
We all know that the Huni Kuin depends on outside support, and specially, internationally support. This happens mainly because the government is not doing their duties about the indigenous people in Brazil - and its just getting worse. Because of that the Huni Kuin started to work by their own and traveling around Brazil and internationally. Due to the covid, the Huni Kuin couldn’t travel and work (with the medicines neither with artefacts), stopping all their work and income.


THE BACKGROUND

Because of Huni Kuin story where they have lost much of their culture by the assassination of the elders (their alive books - as they call the elders), and observing the young generation has many inputs the past generation didn't have, being it easy to consume other cultures and forget their own - That's why all indigenous tribes are investing at their culture.


PROJECT FOR THE YOUTH

Ninawá observing that the young generation are learning very fast the culture that was once lost, highlighting themselves very much specially with the music (among arts as general and spiritual work), Ninawá wants to support the young generation by preserving their culture and endorsing it, so the young generation don't get lost in other culture. Yes, preserving the culture is the KEY point for many indigenous people as they have lost too much they cant risk loosing more, so they are putting all their efforts and doing everything they can to support the young generation.
Just imagine, a bunch of teenagers living 4 days from the nearest city in the middle of the forest. This is the age they get bored, they wanna try new things, they wanna explore new things. So to make something FOR THEM at the village is a way of offering what they like the most, in the best way possible, inside their home - specially at this particular time we are living in.

BUT SPECIALLY, TO PRESERVE AND SHARE CULTURE 
To preserve culture means to endorse the knowledge of elders. Ninawá has started to build with his own resources, a RECORDING HOUSE to give the youth a place to attend, but is much more than that.
A music house is the best move of Ninawá, thinking about culture preservation, as he is giving something new and modern to he Youth, at the same time endorsing their ancestry/roots by making jointed projects that has he fuel from the modern times, but always looking for the ancient knowledge. 

A STUDIO THAT IS ALSO A CULTURE HOUSE 
This studio house could be also called the CULTURE HOUSE, a place where youngsters will be draw by their own interests but they will receive much more. A program will be made with the elders and man/woman leaders, offering teachings on culture by proposing possibilities to make projects by the youth - projects that will be decided collectively by the villagers regarding their own views/needs/problems/dreams and so on, some as: Ancient culture workshops will be held with elders from Humaitá and beyond; Film projects that seeks to rescue culture that it has been lost of almost lost; Traveling plans on rescuing culture in another indigenous land; Music CD's on traditional and new culture...

ACCESIBILITY
The music house also means accessibility, so the project happens at the Novo Futuro Village - the last village from Humaitá Indigenous Land, but its dedicated also for usage of all territory which other 6 villages live (aprox. 500 people!), in the middle of the Amazon forest.
Ninawá also gave the young generation and the entire village access to internet, so they can mobilize themselves on searching for resources for their basic needs, and also be able to share about their culture (and music!!!) all that without the need to get out of their village.
So at the end, this project is for the youth, but for all people from the village and in a way, it also contemplate the entire Huni Kuin people by sharing, preserving and valuing their culture.

WHAT WILL BE DONE?

With this house the Huni Kuin will learn how to use audio equipment, film equipment and be able to record themselves in their own way, with their own style. And so, be able to share about their culture nationally and internationally, without the constant need to get out of their home and the forest in order to make a living and support their community.

The village just have installed internet at their village so they can have contact with the outside world and share about their lives. It's a necessary work to share about their culture and identity so they can be recognized and valued, as Brazil is very instable about indigenous rights.

1: The project concentrates to finish the building the structure of the house (the structure Ninawá already built himself 50%)
2: The second phase is to build the internal structure, working on isolation/acoustic and preparing the inside for the forest conditions, thinking about mold, moisture, dust, termite, strong rains and so on.
3: Equipping the inside with all materials for sound recording and film making. Write a normative on the usage and taking care of equipments. Electing the first duo that will be in charge of the building.
4: Meetings with groups of elders, adults, youth and leaderships to get to know how this building/project can support the village as a whole, and also to support the whole territory.
5: Making a launch party of this new building where in a circle, it will be shared dreams and purpose for this building by all villagers of Humaitá. - Possible to already film/record this gathering to compose the film or short films to be shared at the Youtube Humaitá Channel.
6: Teaching the villagers on how to use the equipments, how to make a music recording and how to make a film by proposing a workshop to make a project in a theme they choose, with our mentorship.
7: Follow up the project, making together a film and a music recording, till the very end till it's distribution, as the indigenous learn by observance.
8: Coming back to the village twice a year for 3 years in order to keep supporting new projects, giving technical assistance on using the equipments, fixing what was broke and so on.
9: Help to share/distribute the products generated by the villagers with the world by translating, sending to film festivals and to international media. 
10: Make a film of the whole project to be shared at national and international media.
