Native nationSouth America

The "friendly people" to themselves but a dreaded raiding terror to all neighbors, Tupi warriors whose feud with the Munduruku scattered the Kawahíb across the southwest Amazon.

Armed Munduruku drove them off the Tapajós through the 1800s; reduced and decimated, they were "pacified" by Curt Nimuendajú in 1922–23 and survive in small settlements between the Marmelos and Machado.
