1. Lago-Lindo Alliance
Environmental, Medicinal, Cultural, Educational, Sustainable Livelihoods Initiative
The Lago-Lindo Alliance is a collaboration project with Yawa-Bane’s village of Lago-Lindo, located in the state of Acre, deep in the Amazon Rainforest. Lago-Lindo is an ancient civilisation made up of around 300 family members who live in the village.
The project seeks to uplift, preserve and share the cultural wisdom of The HuniKuin Nation and the Amazon Rainforest through various sustainable projects of co-creation, knowledge exchange and collaboration.
This is an intergenerational alliance that creates a bridge between the ancient and modern worlds, simultaneously focusing on the environment, medicine, sustainable livelihoods, wisdom preservation, community upliftment, politics and life-long partnerships with indigenous nations.
- Large-scale environmental conservation of Indigenous Territories
(re-planting the amazon rainforest) inolves setting up a nursery in the village which will grow various trees, distribute, and plant areas of the surrounding eco-systems which have been devastated by deforestation and mining corporations.
- Territorial monitoring and surveillance
(protection from mining, deforestation and extractive corporations) setting up a territory monitoring group which helps protect the amazon and the surrounding communities from big corporations and colonizers.
- Water Management and purification system
Due to years of mining and extractive organisations, the purity of the water has been polluted. The water management and purification system will be built in the village and solar powered to provide safe, clean drinking and agriculture water for the whole village.
- Solar and clean energy project
The solar project will bring power to the village to allow members to connect to electricity and power machinery for infrastructural developments.
- Housing and infrastructure development
Helping to build more infrastructure as the village grows and more outsiders visit, lodging and basic needs for the village and outsiders.
- Agricultural sustainability project
Helping to sustain and ensure food with the village in combining ancient and modern eco-agriculture techniques to best suit the village.
- Art, crafts, film, photography, furniture, music, dance programme
The artistic culture of the Huni-Kuin is ancient and complex, inspired by nature and developed over generations of creativity, this programme seeks to further uplift and preserve the beautiful culture.
- School of indigenous wisdom (preservation, practice, studies of Indigenous knowledge and technology)
Building a school space and using modern technology to preserve and share the wisdom of the Huni-kuin. Youth focused initiative that will help document and share vital knowledge.
- Medicinal plants and wisdom preservation project
Creating a medicinal plant nursery in the village that serves as an education and research space and will provide medicine for the village, outsiders, healing sanctuary and the school.
- Festival (Xina Bena)
A yearly festival that involves the whole village and neighbouring tribes, for 10 days outsiders can be a part of festivities in ancient ceremony, sports, arts, food, music and life of the Huni-Kuin.
2. Healing, Initiation, Distribution Sanctuary Alliance
Building and developing a healing, initiation, and distribution sanctuary on the outskirts of Lago-Lindo, overseen by the healers in the village, the sanctuary will be a multifaceted project which also serves as a research, conference, laboratory, processing and packaging hub in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest.
- The Healing Sanctuary
Will accommodate the global calling for practitioners to come immerse and study in the healing technology of the Huni Kuin and the teacher plants of the Amazon.
Healers will be initiated in the true way to correctly share the wisdom, culture and technology of the plants that have been developed over millennia by the Huni Kuin. There is an emphasis on the importance of practicing and operating within the ethical and ancient guidelines of the original custodians. This will allow the preservation of the foundations of indigenous knowledge systems and technologies, which is an intergenerational culture of ethical existence in harmony and care for the environment, community and spirit, hereby protecting the integrity of the medicines and wisdom that the ancient nations oversee.
Introducing The Indigenous, Circular and Ethical Economical Model and benefit sharing agreement which put the Land, environment and indigenous Nations at the foundation, once the practitioner has begun the ongoing and life-long responsibility as a certified traditional doctor a benefit sharing agreement is put in place where all medicine needed by the practitioner is sustainably and ethically sourced from the initiation sanctuary, and a portion of all profits/resources made by the practitioner go back into the sanctuary and ultimately the village to further preserve and grow the Huni-Kuin Nation. This ensures the long-term alliance with the original custodians and the evolution of the practice.
- The Initiation sanctuary
Will accommodate the global calling for practitioners to come immerse and study in the healing technology of the Huni-Kuin and the teacher plants of the Amazon. Initiating healers in the true way to correctly share the wisdom, culture and technology of the plants that have been developed over milenia by the Huni-Kuin. Emphasising on the paramount importance of practicing and operating within the ethical and ancient guidelines of the original custodians, preserving the foundations of indigenous knowledge systems and technology which is an intergenerational culture of ethical existence in harmony and care for the environment, community and spirit, preserving the integrity of the medicines and wisdom that the ancient nations oversee.

- The Distribution Sanctuary
Will process and globally distribute the vast amounts of medicinal plants of the Amazon in the ethical, sustainable and protected way of the Huni Kuin, hereby providing partners, practitioners, healers, herbalists, health stores, hospitals and healing centres with medicinal tinctures and formulas, blended, labelled and packaged by the healers of the village.
Along with the powerful and profound healing abilities of the plants, the medicines represent support, solidarity and partnership with the amazon and the indigenous nations.
The Distribution Sanctuary represents ethical and sustainable development, putting power in the hands of the true custodians, breaking the cycle of unethical appropriation of medicines, lands and people which have continued for generations.
We have a life-long alliance with the Huni-Kuin who oversee the making and distribution of the medicines and wisdom. The medicines represent healing and the conscious technology of the heart. The profits made will go back into the research and development facility. Profits made will go to the families of the Huni Kuin Nation and protecting the Amazon rainforest.
3. Political Campaign Alliance
The political campaign is aiming to increase the representation of global indigenous leaders in political and governmental positions, as well as the representation of indigenous leaders in advisory and consultant positions in every sector of society.
This campaign is dedicated to achieving equity by building power in Indigenous communities towards representative democracy in order to protect Indigenous sovereignty and determine the policies, resources and leadership that will ensure indigenous cultures and future generations are protected and self-determined.
Working to address vast inequities and overcome unique and pervasive barriers that exist for indigenous nations, to achieve a more reflective democracy, and help rebuild and protect communities now and in the future.
The Political Campaign Alliance works to address the vast disparity and barriers that exist for Indigenous peoples.
Indigenous Nations and communities will have access to national networks, innovative tools for community organizing, strategies for civic and voter engagement, and pathways to leadership, hereby advancing their communities health and wellbeing.
Raising awareness, funds and resources for Bane as he campaigns for Deputy Federal/Mayor of Acre/Jordao.
Yawa-Bane was essentially raised for a political or leader role, having studied and travelled abroad from a young age to gain wisdom and experience of the western world, with the intention to further represent his people and voice of the Amazon.
The elections are in November 2022, and he will need resources to register in September 2021 for mobilising and campaigning in the coming months leading up to the elections.
Mobilising and campaigning involve newspaper articles, radio advertising and interviews, television interviews, billboards and going from village to village with his team in the Amazon to present the vision and provide workshop and campaign days to gain support and votes.
Bane ran for Deputy Federal of a town called Santa Catarina in Florianopolis in 2019 and came close the achieving it.
Bane and his family are very well known in Acre, Jordao and the Amazon for being pioneers, protectors and political leaders of the people, he stands a very good chance of achieving the position of mayor. Our vision is for, one day, to see indigenous leaders in positions of government focused on the environment, spirit and people.
4. Global Sanctuary Alliance
The Global Sanctuary Alliance project is the bridge between ancient civilisations and the modern world, developing sanctuaries in South Africa, Europe, North and South America, and providing the world with medicine and wisdom from the Huni kuin in an ethical, sustainable, and supported way.
The healing, research and distribution sanctuaries will be modelled on the initiation sanctuary in Lago-Lindo village, overseen by the Yuxibu Alliance core team. The sanctuaries will provide a space for young Huni Kuin healers to travel and gain experience of the outside world. The sanctuary will provide a space for initiated healers to practice. It will also serve as an initiation school for practitioners, as well as a distribution centre for arts, crafts, medicine and wisdom from the Huni Kuin Nation and other indigenous communities.
The sanctuaries will serve the communities in which they are built, each in their own unique way, but all with the same foundation and dedication to provide medicine and solutions for the crises we collectively face and to help accommodate the global need for ancient wisdom in modern times.
