Apiaka

The Apiaká are an Indigenous people of the Juruena and upper Tapajós country in the southern Amazon. The Juruena and Teles Pires join to form the Tapajós, and their forested banks were inhabited by numerous peoples connected through exchange and warfare. The Apiaká spoke a Tupian language and formed part of this complex network of communities between the Madeira and Tapajós rivers.
