Mucajai

The Mucajaí flows east across the forest and savanna country of northern Brazil to the Branco River. Its valley belongs to the larger Amazon drainage, though its headwaters lie in the Guiana highlands. Wapichana traditions associate the region between the Mucajaí, Uraricoera and Cauamé rivers with the Tipikeari, one of the groups of the wider Wapichana world. Rivers link this inland country to the Rio Branco and the Amazon beyond.
