Based on all this plus the accounts of the people themselves, they are very certain about who there are and where they live. It also seems pretty clear that they are closely related if not identical to the Chitonahua contacted in Peru in 1996, as well as the Nahua/Yora who left their homeland in the early 20th century and settled in the headwaters of the Manu and Mishagua rivers.

Many thanks for this informative pos...Dr. Shepard,<br /><br />Many thanks for this informative post. It really helps me give some geographic and ethnological context to the story.<br /><br />Out of curiosity, how were the links between the Xatanawa and the group in the 2008 aerial photos established? By further remote sensing data and/or contact through third parties?MTBradleyhttps://plus.google.com/+MatthewTimothyBradley/aboutnoreply@blogger.com
