The Huni Kuin tribe (huni “man”, kuin, “true”) extends from the foothills of the Peruvian Andes to the Brazilian borders, in the states of Acre and southern Amazonas, encompassing the area of Alto Juruá, Purus and the Javari valley.
Their mother tongue is Hatxa kuin, “the language of truth”, although practically all of them are bilingual (Spanish and Portuguese, depending on the country). This tribe is divided into small communities or villages that have remained isolated until 1946 in the virgin forest, far from the rivers that the merchants sailed. In recent decades they have experienced a great change both in terms of internal exodus (many Peruvian populations have moved to the Brazilian side), and in their way of life.
The Huni Kuin are also called cashinahuá (or kaxinawá), perhaps because of their ability to move at night in the jungle, since kaxi means “bat” in Hatsa kuin.

The social life of the Huni Kuin is highly marked by their sex. Man is the predator, the hunter, he is the one who brings the meat and the raw material from the jungle. He is the nomad, the intrepid who ventures into the thick of the jungle. The woman is the one who transforms what the man brings from the outside and converts it for his inner use. She is the one in charge of handicrafts, gathering vegetables, cooking food, raising children. The man is in charge of building the house and the woman of decorating and caring for it. The man is the one who prepares and plants the farm and the woman who is in charge of taking care of it and collecting the food. The woman, in principle, never goes into the virgin forest.
However, although her tasks are separated on the material and practical plane of life, both men and women are closely united on the spiritual level of all these tasks. It is a very dual organization, but neither of the parts is superimposed on the other, neither is subjugated, the two are part of the one, of the whole.

Heraclitus (*500 BC) was an ancient Greek pre-Socratic philosopher from the city of Ephesus, which was then part of the Persian Empire.
Little is known of Heraclitus's life. He wrote a single work, only fragments of which have survived. Most of the ancient stories about him are thought to be later fabrications based on interpretations of the preserved fragments. His paradoxical philosophy and appreciation for wordplay and cryptic, oracular epigrams has earned him the epithets "the dark" and "the obscure" since antiquity. He was considered arrogant and depressed, a misanthrope who was subject to melancholia. Consequently, he became known as "the weeping philosopher" in contrast to the ancient philosopher Democritus, who was known as "the laughing philosopher".
The central ideas of Heraclitus' philosophy are the unity of opposites and the concept of change. He also saw harmony and justice in strife. He viewed the world as constantly in flux, always "becoming" but never "being". He expressed this in sayings like "Everything flows" (Greek: πάντα ρει, panta rei) and "No man ever steps in the same river twice". This changing aspect of his philosophy is contrasted with that of the ancient philosopher Parmenides, who believed in "being" and in the static nature of reality.
