Ingariko

Ingariko takes its name from an Indigenous people of the high country around Mount Roraima. Their villages lie among the mountains and rivers of the Guiana Highlands, where forested valleys meet open uplands. The Ingarikó form part of the wider Kapon peoples, alongside the Akawaio and Patamona. Hunting, fishing and cultivation draw on the varied resources of this mountainous homeland, whose landscape also holds an important place in their stories.
