Acknowledgment of Traditional Custodians

AYAKAMBO acknowledges the Huni Kuin, Katukina, Kaxinawá, Matsés, and the forest nations of the Western Amazon as the traditional custodians of the frog & plant medicine tradition. Their knowledge, their cosmology, and their relationship with Kambô (Phyllomedusa bicolor) form the true origin of all practices later carried beyond the forest. I pay respect to their Elders, past and present, and to the lineage of hunters and knowledge-keepers who preserved this practice with discipline and purpose.

Acknowledgment of Traditional Custodians

AYAKAMBO acknowledges the Huni Kuin, Katukina, Kaxinawá, Matsés, and the forest nations of the Western Amazon as the traditional custodians of the animal & plant medicine traditions. Their knowledge, their cosmology, and their relationship with Kampū (the shamanic frog spirit) and Caapi (Madre Ayahuasca) form the true origin of all practices later carried beyond the forest. I pay respect to their Elders, past and present, and to the lineage of hunters and knowledge-keepers who preserved this practice with discipline and integrity of the purpose.

Welcome to the original AyaKambo Project. AyaKambo began in 2012 as a disciplined exploration of Amazonian frog medicine—known as Kambô or Vacina do Sapo—and the extraordinary intelligence and allied plants that surrounds it.

Today, AyaKambo stands as a contemporary continuation of that commitment: to honour the original custodians, to clarify where confusion has spread, and to uphold integrity where exploitation has taken hold.
