Samauma - Kuntanawa

This is the largest tree in the Amazon forest and one of the largest in the world, growing up to 300 feet. it is known as the mother of all the other trees. Named Kapok tree in English. This is one of the most sacred allies of the indigenous people of the Amazon basin, even among the Mayans. Its roots are capable of sourcing water from very deep in the Earth, not only to supply itself, but for numerous other creatures that call this majesty home. It said that an enchanted spirit works trough this tree, communicating trough knocks on the forest. It is for all of these reasons that the indigenous use it's bark for making hape, to receive the blessings of the Queen of the Forest.
