Guarasugwa

Guarasugwa takes its name from an Indigenous people of the upper Guaporé country. Also known as Pauserna, the Guarasugwe inhabited the forested region between the Guaporé, Paraguá and Pauserna rivers. Their language, Warázu, belongs to the Tupi-Guarani family. The rivers of this inland basin cross forests and seasonal wetlands, connecting a landscape inhabited by peoples with their own languages and territories long before the drawing of imperial borders.
