George Catlin (1796 –1872) Marahua Indians

George Catlin (1796 –1872) Marahua Indians

Brazil's Javari River, the most important river of the region, which since 1851 forms the border with Peru, left bank was inhabited by the Mayoruna and Marahua Indians; its right bank by the Huaraycus and the Culinos. These two nations live buried in the interior of the forests, and seldom showed themselves on the banks of the Amazon.
