Description

This narrative recounts the origin of the sacred cemeteries of the Kotiria people.
The Kotiria are one of the sixteen East Tukano groups, living in the upper Rio
Negro border region between Brazil and Colombia in northwestern Amazonia
and whose total population is approximately twenty-six thousand. There are
some 2000 Kotiria, most of whom live in traditional communities located along
the Vaupés river, a territory they have occupied for at least seven centuries (Sten-
zel 2013: 10).
