At one time people were not mortal. A bad spirit cursed a Shaman who became the first person to die and he was buried. Later his son had a dream in which his father came to him to say that he was still alive but in a different form. He asked that his son should, after a period of time, visit the place where he was buried and that he would find a plant. In his dream he was instructed by his father how to make a sacred drink using the plant. When his son returned to the burial ground he discovered a vine that had grown from all the joints of the Shaman’s body. Following the instructions he mixed the leaves (Ravante) with the root of the Uni and created the sacred drink which, in ceremonies that continue today, allows the tribe to connect with their ancestors in the Spirit world.\" Nixiwaka Yawanawá\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-product-heading\"\u003eItem Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table-data-sheet\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFramed Original Painting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArtist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmazon Indian Artist Nixiwaka Yawanawá\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePainting size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 x 100 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcrylic on canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFramed size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnframed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrung with picture cord and ready to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/127430948\" height=\"150\" width=\"300\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Spirit of the Rainforest Project is supported by:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg height=\"105\" width=\"1170\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johndyergallery.co.uk\/shop\/img\/cms\/Spirit%20of%20the%20Rainforest\/newlogog.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nixiwaka Yawanawá","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36295904690335,"sku":"","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0476\/8448\/5279\/products\/2539.jpg?v=1774967922"},{"product_id":"nixiwaka-yawanawa-painting-nawe-amazon-rainforest-spirits","title":"Nixiwaka Yawanawá Painting.
