Kukra

The Kukra inhabited the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua and the shores of its lagoons, from the Río Grande south toward Bluefields. Their lands included waterways and wetlands between forest and sea. Accounts describe contact and trade with their Ulwa neighbours. During the colonial era the expanding influence of Miskito groups and their foreign trading partners altered relationships throughout the coast and its river valleys.

The later city of Bluefields lies here.
