A lecture and performance by Shipibo master shaman healers Herlinda and Enrique Augustine, with an introductory lecture by Barrett Martin, UNM graduate student, will take place Wednesday, Oct. 5, in the SUB, Lobo room A from 5-7 p.m.
The Shipibo are a Panoan tribe living near the headwaters of the Ucayali River in the Upper Peruvian Amazon. Recognized as the master shamans of this region they impart their wisdom and teachings to other Amazonian shamans.
This lecture will focus on the Shipibo curing songs or ‘icaros’ and the elaborate woven song patterns on their textiles.
The event, sponsored by Native American Studies, is free and open to the public.
