BIOGRAPHY
AKITCHITAY CARLINO' DE LA PAZ
Akitchitay is a descendant of the Taino People of Boriken, now known as Puerto Rico, and of the Cherokee Nation rooted in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. As an Indigenous Musician, Ceremonialist, Sacred Fire Keeper, and bearer of Ancestral Wisdom, Akitchitay has devoted his life to teaching the knowledge, traditions, and culture of the Indigenous way as well as encouraging people to pursue their spiritual life path.
At a young age, Akitchitay was introduced to Ceremony and began cultivating a deep understanding of the diverse indigenous traditions, cultures, and spiritual pathways. He has since been mentored by many Indigenous Elders throughout North America, including his brother Carlos Hawkwalker, a prominent Sundancer.
Akitchitay spent 6 years in the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Reservation studying under Arnold Rice, who was taught by Wallace Black Elk, in the Lakota tradition. After learning to fire keep and pour lodge, Akitchitay began attending the Sun Dance and met a fellow Taino man who built a bridge of connection with an Elder in Boriken - Puerto Rico.
During his many travels to Puerto Rico and under the guidance of Abuela Naniki, Akitchitay was initiated into his native Taino culture, music, traditions, rituals, and ceremonies. In the States, he spent 7 years with a Cuban Behike (Medicine Man) named Miguel Sague who passed down many Taino ceremony songs, dances, rituals, and lodge traditions.
Over the past 20 years, Akitchitay has been leading Sweat Lodge Ceremonies, Full and New Moon Rituals, and Vision Quests as well as teaching workshops, retreats, and seminars throughout the United States. He is also passionate about teaching Tai Chi, self-defense, self-preservation, Warrior training, fire keeping, and Medicine Wheel classes.
Akitchitay, through decades of drumming for Ceremony, developed his own unique sound that honors Taino music and culture with the use of handmade log drums called Mayo-hu-acan. His music is a cross of tribal beats, wind instruments, and ceremony songs influenced by the rhythm and heartbeat of the Caribbean rainforest. Akitchitay has produced and released three Albums and is playing shows at venues, festivals, and gatherings throughout the East Coast.
