=== Shipibo-Konibo and their relation to Ayahuasca ===
It is believed that the Shipibo-Konibo are among the earliest practitioners of Ayahuasca ceremonies, with their connection to the brew and ceremonies surrounding it dating back centuries, perhaps a millennium.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=May 5, 2021 |title=The Shipibo Ceremonial Use of Ayahuasca to Promote Well-Being: An Observational Study |pmc=8131827 |last1=Gonzalez |first1=D. |last2=Cantillo |first2=J. |last3=Perez |first3=I. |last4=Carvalho |first4=M. |last5=Aronovich |first5=A. |last6=Farre |first6=M. |last7=Feilding |first7=A. |last8=Obiols |first8=J.

Some members of the Shipibo community have taken to the media to express their views on Ayahuasca entering the mainstream, with some calling it "the [[commercialization]] of ayahuasca." Some of them have even expressed their worry regarding the increased popularity, saying "the contemporary 'ayahuasca ceremony' may be understood as a substitute for former [[Cosmogony|cosmogonical]] [[ritual]]s that are nowadays not performed anymore."<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 2014 |title=From the Native's Point of View: How Shipibo-Konibo Experience and Interpret Ayahuasca Drinking with "Gringos" |url=https://academic.oup.com/book/3308/chapter-abstract/144338325?redirectedFrom=fulltext |website=academic.oup.com|doi=10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199341191.003.0010 |isbn=978-0-19-934119-1 }}</ref>
