Done together with the indigenous people

Follow the stories through original drawings by the Beya Xinã Bena group and listen to the narration in the Huni Kuin language itself, the Hátxa Kuï!


This game was made in partnership with the Beya Xinã Bena collective, from the Kaxinawá Indigenous Lands of Rio Jordão, in the state of Acre, in the Brazilian Amazon region, to provide an immersion in indigenous knowledge such as songs, drawings, stories, myths and rituals of the people.

The collective Beya Xinã Bena (New Time Culture) was formed at the initiative of indigenous participants during the game's first workshop, in 2014, with the aim of gathering, promoting and disseminating audiovisual productions linked to the digital technologies of the Huni Kuĩ of Rio Jordão. It is a collective of indigenous audiovisual productions.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Since the game is about an indigenous people, there are images where they don't wear white men's clothes. There are also parts of traditional stories that involve sexual relationships, since we are portraying the real stories told by the elders of this people.
