Koraveka

Koraveka recalls one of the Indigenous peoples of Chiquitania, in the dry forests of eastern Bolivia. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Jesuit missionaries gathered several distinct peoples into mission settlements. The Koraveka were among the groups whose histories contributed to the formation of the Chiquitano people. Their country lay between the great river basins of the Amazon and La Plata, where woodland meets the plains of the Chaco and Pantanal.
