Sakirabia

The Sakurabiat, also known as Mekens, are an Indigenous people of the Mequéns River country east of the Guaporé. Their language belongs to the Tupari family, and their homeland lies among forest streams near the headwaters of the Mequéns and Verde. Since the seventeenth century, the name Mequens has been applied to several related groups in this region, rather than to a single community alone.
