So cool! I'm very interested in the indigenous peoples of the world and so, had to look up Maxuruna. "The Maxaruna correspond to today’s Matis indians. The Matis are an indigenous people of Brazil, comprising about 300 members. They live by hunting and crop production. Their settlement area is located in the Javari Valley, a large indigenous area in the northwest of Brazil near the Peruvian border."
Also called Matis, Matsés and Mayoruna. "The Matsés or Mayoruna are an indigenous people of the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon. Their traditional homelands are located between the Javari and Galvez rivers. The Matsés have long guarded their lands from other indigenous tribes and struggle with encroachment from illegal logging practices and poaching."
