Karipuna
The Karipuna of the upper Madeira are a Kawahiva people of the southwestern Amazon. They speak a Tupi-Guarani language related to those of neighbouring Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau and other Kawahiva communities. Their historical territory includes the Mutum-Paraná and its tributaries, as well as the country of the Jacy-Paraná, a region of rivers and forest west of the upper Madeira.
